Feel like I'm going completely insane. Why is everyone treating this like it's a real thing he can do??? The president can't unilaterally write or prohibit state laws!

If handing someone their arse, was a video clip

Thirteen years ago this weekend a gunman shot & killed 20 young children & 6 educators at Sandy Hook School in Newtown CT. NEVER FORGET!! Please sign!! act.everytown.org/sign/end_gun...

A Cuban immigrant held at the Fort Bliss facility said officers handcuffed him and about 20 others, and drove them to the border. There, they were told to get off the bus and cross into Mexico. “Guards hit him, slammed him against the wall about 10 times and grabbed and crushed his testicles.”

They are buying up all the media.

Exactly. The full weight of the White House propaganda and legal apparatus bearing down on one day laborer and his family for months simply because the addled despot can never be wrong.

LOL... Pentagon released a new AI military chatbot and it immediately pointed out that Pete Hegseth is a war criminal. abovethelaw.com/2025/12/pent...

Look I love Knights of the Old Republic as much as anyone but that trailer for Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic is a big nothing burger. Half of it is plagiarized shot compositions from Prometheus and the rest is rain falling in a puddle. Pretty lame trailer. #starwars #isaidwhatisaid

I dont think people should come visit us until we get this shit sorted out.

Every day that the Hutt that runs this little corner of the galaxy has a bad day is a good day for me.

We're slapping them down on specific things but they are dipping the country in acid writ large--keep your gloves up and never stop swinging.

Lol at every university trustee and law firm partner who concluded they had no choice but to play ball with this bumbling fool

This is not just dystopian–it's aggressive trolling and intended to rub people's noses in the slime

God damn right.

If they'll steal another country's oil tanker they will sure as shit steal everything from you, a single person without a fighter jet or a tank in the garage.

This is a psychotic policy.

This new Politico poll should stop us all in our tracks! 50% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, let’s start there. Then add the fact that we have a president who thinks we’re lying about it. I’m just waiting for the next poll that asks, “Does the president care about people like me?”

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Dems are sounding the alarm about ACA premium increases without mentioning something: State insurance regulators - often appointed by Dems! - have the power to reject the increases but they are approving them with no resistance & basically nobody is challenging those decisions. It's maddening.

As a constituent, I am asking that @governorwalz.mn.gov and @keithellison.bsky.social arrest these men and prosecute them before they kidnap someone and intentionally freeze them to death

“She has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours.” Her crime: witnessing ICE, from a distance.

"Trump is an outright racist and he appeals to 10s of millions of US citizens who are also outright racists" is both fundamentally, obviously true ... and something that mainstream journalism has decided is impermissible to say.

Rogue state

A huge night for Democrats: —They flip Miami's mayorship. —They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%. —They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council. —And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.

BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight. Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall. This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.

These are evil people. In leadership. 🚨

Organizing against the fascist takeover is good for you.

3 separate election nights in Georgia, all over the past 5 weeks

This Georgia flip is in a district that the GOP drew to drown Democratic voters in Athens into a neighboring red county, Oconee. But tonight, Dems in Athens were out in FULL FORCE to swamp that gerrymander.

It is newsworthy that the president of the United States is increasingly verbally abusive of women reporters and he should be asked about it.

"'They all were scared, crying... they were pointing with the guns not to move,' he said. He said all four are U.S. citizens..." www.kare11.com/article/news...

I knew Trump chose mortgage fraud to go after his enemies with phony charges of because it's a crime he's quite familiar with. He probably thinks everyone does it. And when @propublica.org called him to ask him about it, he hung up on them. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

NVIDIA, whose stock is now a "load-bearing entity in the US stock market," "is dependent not on its customers, but on its customers’ credit ratings and financial backers." And it gets worse from there! A fantastic, very long, highly-meandering-but-the-meandering-is-necessary @edzitron.com piece:

“I’d have no problem releasing the video” “I didn’t say that, you said that. Fake news.” 5 days apart 😬 (From @therecount.com )

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

The Trump administration just announced they will refuse to release the October inflation report.

Trump-led cuts to Medicaid mean that premiums are going to double next week, and the Republicans still can’t scrounge together their own healthcare alternative. From Ryan Cooper: trib.al/rkgOgkz

The committee vote on Jared Isaacman's nomination to be NASA administrator (along with several other pending nominees) has been scheduled for this afternoon at 5:30 pm at S-207. Isaacman could be confirmed administrator in charge of gutting NASA science before the week is out.

He found the word "hereby" in a coloring book somewhere and now he cant stop

"The small figures huddled together at Miami's airport carried backpacks, stuffed animals and suitcases. One wore a silver cross necklace. Families of the travelers – ages 3 to 15 – have been torn apart this year by Trump's deportation campaign..." www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

ICE detained a US citizen who was originally from Somalia. They grabbed her because they didn’t like her hijab. She says they sexually assaulted her and said things like “what are you hiding under your hijab” She was held for 24 hours. A US citizen. No one is safe.

“No human being is garbage, Mr. President, and shame on you for saying so,” said the Lutheran pastor.“In the name of Jesus, I rebuke those hateful words.The Somali community in Minnesota are our neighbors, brothers and sisters, children of God, fellow Americans.” www.startribune.com/twin-cities-...

We could have eliminated Hepatitis B infection in the US… …instead we are going to let newborn babies risk 90% chance of chronic infection that cause liver failure and cancer so that a few incredibly stupid adults - who are all vaccinated btw - can force their selfish science denial on other people

@billmckibben.bsky.social is usually fairly patient and moderate. But here he turns on the invective. Turns out he's pretty good at it, without any useless intensifiers like "fucking." Go Bill! billmckibben.substack.com/p/pouring-li...
