MY BOY SPENDING XMAS AT HOME

Merrick Garland hid this from us for 4 YEARS, and allowed this disgusting monster to be reelected

"One of the options staff has discussed is giving sponsored information preferential treatment in responses to users’ ChatGPT queries, according to the person familiar with the discussions. For instance, AI models could prioritize sponsored content to ensure it shows up in ChatGPT responses"

I said there would be concentration camps if he was elected. WE said there would be concentration camps if he was elected. Any media not calling the camps—both inside and outside of our country— "concentration camps" is failing in their mandate to report facts, and lying to their readers.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

ICE has posted a video of Santa Claus arresting immigrants. Your government is hijacking a symbol of charity to spread fear and hate. it’s up to all of us to defeat these twisted fascists.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.

This is the (pretty negative) prognosis for the oil and gas industry from the belly of the beast in Texas, even with absolutely every bit of federal and state help they could possibly have. But sure, let's continue to pour all our hopes for "abundance" into this leaky bucket.

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer. Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump. Now, it’s gone.

hi, cis folks! this week, with some democrat votes, 2 anti-trans bills passed the house. one bans medicaid funds for trans youth care, the other proposes jail time for providers. they haven't passed the senate, but dems may need convincing to vote no on both. tap into the 🧵for a quick action.

Yglesias referring to Senator Van Hollen as a "safe seat clout-chaser" is so despicable. VH took a stand to prevent Abrego García - an innocent man - from being disappeared into CECOT for life.

"We don’t need to weaken environmental protections to get cheaper, cleaner energy." @velazquez.house.gov was clear: what we really need are policies to speed up renewable energy deployment and hold polluters accountable. "That’s how we lower costs." 👏

“The networks have declined to air prime time speeches from the last two Democratic presidents, claiming they were too political.” In 2022, broadcast networks declined to air a prime time speech by Joe Biden “where he warned about threats to democracy, deciding the speech would be too ‘political.’”

Trump’s primetime diatribe against immigrants is straight up unvarnished Nazi stuff

Look, I'm not one to quickly believe in conspiracy theories about us attacking Venezuela on a made up provocation to distract from the Epstein files, but the timing of all this is not helping me convince myself that it's not true.

We're wasting so much time on this asshole www.veritiesandvagaries.com/2025/12/16/o...

🧵ICE cut off her wedding ring. Sue Tincher is a 55-year-old US citizen, a grandmother, 5’4’, and white. She walked to her neighbor’s house after getting alerts that ICE was nearby. She stood across the street and asked an officer if they were ICE. They told her to “get back.” She didn’t move.

If you think about the vital government service of putting out fires, and you eventually come up with "wow, steady supply of tax revenue, we can jack up prices on these suckers endlessly," congratulations you've got a job on Wall Street for life www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/u...

The third time in 2 months that the official DHS account has tweeted a Nazi term which means "ethnic cleansing" of all people of color from America and Europe.

"No mainstream reporter has the stomach to say, 'By the way, this administration lies all the time and we should assume this is a lie too' after every unsupported statement." They should, because it's true.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

it’s interesting to see so many MAGA folks acting shocked at Trump’s statement, which is basically the same as every Trump statement I’ve ever seen

I’m finding it increasingly hard to report anything delivered by “official sources” in the US. Could be true, could be a coverup, could be completely made up for nefarious ends. It’s a country now where no one really has any idea what’s actually going on.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.

"I just want to celebrate his work, which was incredibly important to me, almost weirdly important." And probably for a lot of people. @sonnybunch.bsky.social remembers Rob Reiner: lnk.thebulwark.com/3MEHyOs

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety. We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

The most hateful, hate-filled people on the planet are responsible for our health and the health of our kids and as such we will absolutely burn this cultist regime to ashes and hold the individuals who are propagating this hatred responsible. Bet.

“Since he was sworn back into office nearly a year ago, Donald Trump and several administration officials have already informally discussed the idea of preemptively pardoning an array of Trump advisers, policymakers, and others…

i don't think this is even a real statistical anomaly anymore. it seems like there's someone in the crowd at every mass shooting who has been through it before. this doesn't have to be our shared cultural experience.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

Trump put tariffs on Brazil and sanctions on a Brazilian judge to try to stop ex-President Jair Bolsonaro’s trial on coup charges. Five months later, the most threatening of the tariffs are gone, the sanctions have been lifted, and Bolsonaro is behind bars. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Instacart got caught running real-time price experiments on shoppers — same groceries, different prices. Workers know this game well: Instacart’s algorithm does the same thing to their pay. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/b...

blatantly a violation of both the rules on Congress solely having the power to collect taxes, duties, excises, and so forth and also that such a new collection of federal revenue must originate as a bill in the House of Representatives, Madison wrote a bunch about it, the Constitution still matters?

So the President has turned the entire federal government into a cheap phishing & access Ponzi scheme, stealing unknown billions of taxpayer money & public capital to his family business out in broad daylight. The party of limited government and free markets now runs a tacky, corrupt mafioso state.

Trump’s foreign policy isn’t “noninterventionism,” it is a kind of neo neo conservatism devoted to imposing authoritarian ethnonationalism abroad instead of democracy (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

This is exactly what the bosses who put Trump into office were trying to achieve. Crushing the tight labor market from the early Biden years that gave workers - for the first time in my adult lifetime - leverage over their bosses.

because literally every generation does this

it does feel like an intense societal problem that the founder of palantir, the biggest survellience company, thinks like this

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara issued a stern warning to his officers on Thursday: Intervene when you see Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents using unlawful force or lose your job.

We Should Have Finished Reconstruction: A Brief History Of American Politics, 1865-2025

This will always and forever be the most on point and prescient thing that Fukuyama ever wrote.

Calling it now that she'll eventually end up at CBS www.wsj.com/business/med...

They’ve nullified the 14th amendment once already, they don’t care what the constitution says, only what their political allies want it to say

looking forward to either a 6-3 decision that trump as God Emperor of the United States can change the constitution by fiat or a 5-4 decision that 14th amendment means what it says with a dissent from thomas that actually the constitution recognizes donald j. trump as sovereign

We lost so much when we lost Grant. Not only was he the greatest American soccer writer but he had the guts and integrity to call out corruption, sexism, and bigotry regardless of what it cost him personally. Very few people in sports media (or any media) are like this!

I wish Grant Wahl was here rn

This is obviously total thuggery, but, in my limited capacity as a short-lived former letter carrier for USPS: it is also a completely empty bluff. Fucking good luck to Amazon doing last mile delivery to every address in the US.

The Trump administration announced the cancellation of the advance estimate for gross domestic product for the third quarter of 2025. This follows previous delays affecting multiple economic reports. These include the monthly jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the inflation report.
