The writing is on the wall. And everyone sees it, except Trump, who’s increasingly dazed and confused.

"The first strike that kills the nine is no less a murder than the second strike that kills the other two." Rosa Brooks talks the boat strikes and more with @monacharen.bsky.social on The Mona Charen Show:

If he thinks I’m turning off the Knicks game— the NBA cup final no less!— to listen to his dumb ass, he’s more high than usual.

Dissident Republicans should have an easy path to getting votes on their priorities, whether Johnson wants it or not. And he doesn't, but it increasingly doesn't seem to matter. The latest edition of Press Pass from @cheetah.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/48SNxXh

This is a wonky policy area, but the debate is really over whether people should be able to count on having their medical needs taken care of, or not. lnk.thebulwark.com/3XXMbFU

I've been reporting on the criminal justice system for over a decade and have lived in an authoritarian country overseas, but I've never seen anything like the police presence in ICE-occupied Memphis. Here's my dispatch: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Thank you to Mediaite for naming the MeidasTouch Network the 11th most influential name in news media in 2025! Mediaite: In 2025, the MeidasTouch Network "solidified its dominance as...a leading new media juggernaut"

Among those spending less, 46% say it’s because of the high cost of goods, a 10-point increase from the 2024 survey. Even more striking, 36% of those spending more say it’s because of high prices, an 11-point increase from last year. #InflationNation

Yet another reason I'm glad I live in CT. Thank you, Gov. Lamont: www.ctpublic.org/news/2025-12...

LEAK THE EPSTEIN FILES NOW, RELEASE THE UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES ON 19 DECEMBER

"I’ve been reporting on the criminal justice system for more than a decade and have spent time in cities with a lot of law enforcement. I’ve also lived in an authoritarian country overseas, yet I’ve never experienced a police presence like this."

Sen. Kelly: “Obviously, they have issues with what is in that video, and that's why they don't want everybody to see it.”

Reuters: Ukrainian SBU claims a naval warfare first: They struck a Russian Kilo class submarine with an underwater drone that caused critical damage. The sub was already docked in a protected harbor in an effort to avoid Ukrainian drones in the Black Sea. GFY, Trump.

#GVerse #BreakingNews While #Shit4Brains spews hate about Rob Reiner, President Biden just perfectly explained why the U.S. must be the leader of the free world. It’s clear Biden’s far more capable of leading than #ShitFace ever has been.

Germany will deepen its commitment to Ukraine's defence through joint ventures, further market integration and possible federal investment guarantees under a 10-point plan unveiled on Monday during President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's Berlin visit. www.reuters.com/business/aer...

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

This is Willi and Rigatoni. They were saying not-so-nice things behind your back, but then you turned around. Super awkward. 13/10 for both (IG: wildwildwilli)

Suddenly they don’t like showing when they bomb boats? Jeepers, it’s Almost like they have something to hide

EPSTEIN EPSTEIN!!!

President Zelensky: ‘We must keep exposing every single Russian falsehood, because truth restores justice.’ Sir, yes sir! 🫡

While many Republicans running for Congress in swing districts are going to try to distance themselves from Trump, Miller, Kash, Hegseth, RFK Jr, et al, they enabled ALL of it. They all supported Mike Johnson for Speaker, who abdicated all oversight and congressional authority.

How a human with a soul and a clue responds to tragedy. #FDT

#GVerse via @captmarkkelly.bsky.social "Tonight, we learned the Pentagon is escalating its review of me into "an official command investigation." If #Shit4Brains or #WhiskyLeaks think they can stop me from doing my job and serving the American people, they've got the wrong guy."

“Trump’s attack on a man who’d just been murdered was a new low. And it exposed how petrified the debilitating dictator is of people who use their stature to speak out.” www.signorile.com/p/rob-reiner...

Hegseth murdered more people today but still refuses to release the second strike video from September.

Conservatives 2025: “of course you can separate the character from the presidency.” But you can’t. POTUS sets the tone for the country. Anyone preaching moral equivalency right now, between the two sides of our politics… is just desperately lurching… to justify the unjustifiable.

Israel pays US politicians to push anti-immigration rhetoric because the people around Netanyahu are heavily invested in corporate private prisons in the US and supplying ICE, the real reason ICE got such a massive budget is because Trump and his accomplices plan to pocket it. It’s corruption.

"The only path for families to get relief is if 4 Republicans ... extend the enhanced ACA credits. The financial stability and health of tens of millions of people is teetering right now. But for Republicans, there’s no pain for families too severe ....” Richie Neal www.nytimes.com/live/2025/12...

The orange dingus sued the Pulitzer Board to prove the Russia investigation was a “hoax” and may now be rewarded by having to hand over the two things he’s guarded more fiercely than nuclear codes: his tax returns and his medical records. Get ready for TACO Trump. www.rawstory.com/donald-trump...

NEW: After reporting by ProPublica revealed industry connections among Transportation Department regulators and showed how they are seeking to loosen oil and gas pipeline safety regulations, Sen. Maria Cantwell is demanding answers. By @jessecoburn.bsky.social

Yes it’s all just such a mystery! 🤷🏼

Thank for the breakdown Professor but it's not complete unless contrasted w Biden's performance. (BTW hello from down the road Bowling Green).

Private-sector hiring remains weak and may have stalled totally. Since April, these numbers suggest monthly private sector job growth has averaged +45k per month. But the Fed reckons job growth is overstated by at least this month. = Private-sector hiring over recent months may well be negative.

Measured job growth has averaged a paltry +17k since April. + The Fed estimates that these numbers overstate true job growth by about 60k per month. (No, not conspiracy theory stuff; technical issues in the birth-death model.) = Employment is shrinking around 40k per month.

Payrolls fell -105k in October and rose +64k in November. August and September payrolls were also revised down a total of 33k. These data suggest VIRTUALLY NO EMPLOYMENT GROWTH since April ("Liberation day"). Unemployment is now up to 4.6%. This is a tricky report, so stay tuned.

Keep posting and remind everyone about this! #ReleaseThrEpsteinFiles

LOLOLOLOL hahahahahahaha

Breaking: The U.S. labor market lost 41,000 jobs over October and November, and the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.6% — the highest since 2021.

Breaking: Trump’s Chief of Staff Susie Wiles on the Epstein Files: “[Trump] is in the file. And we know he’s in the file... [He] was on [Epstein’s] plane... He’s on the manifest.”

Please take 7 and a half minutes and watch this.

Yes, Trump is Definitely Compromised by Putin. Putin has more on Trump than even the Epstein Files. Democracy and Ukraine 🇺🇦 are dying for our Democracy. Trump’s exit cannot come soon Enough 🎉🥳👏🍾🍾
