Jack Smith: “President Trump was by a large measure the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy. These crimes were committed for his benefit. The attack that happened at the Capitol does not happen without him” #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Trickle Down Economics is Repub propaganda intended to make the 99% think they’re supposed to be getting ripped off by the Epstein Class We must make the Epstein Class pay the taxes they owe Not the taxes they want to pay

The most corrupt SCOTUS in the history of this Nation

Ughhh

What the KENNEDY Center used to be… Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

Trump posted a photo claiming it shows a bald eagle in the United States killed by a windmill. In reality, the image is of a dead falcon in Israel from 2017.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

This is not only devastating to everyone about to lose the ability to afford insurance, it will devastate hospitals as uncompensated care explodes, ERs will be the default and costs will be pushed back onto everyone else. This is how you break a health care system on purpose while screaming fraud.

If the United States had sensible priorities and taxed billionaires and didn't waste so much money on useless toys for Pete Hegseth to pretend he's a he-man warrior, our country could, instead, have beautiful, clean, high-speed trains like they have in Europe.

The last five decades have been marked by an explosion in wealth inequality and a growing distrust of America’s institutions. Many Americans believe that the system as a whole is rigged against them. They're right.

He was supposed to serve 10 years and pay $36 million in restitution for defrauding investors. Never served a day. Not Somali.

No way Drumpf would EVER understand this.

WSJ breaks significant news reporting that Mar-a-Lago’s spa *for years* regularly sent young staffers to Epstein’s home purportedly to give him massages, contorts its scoop to find a more flattering angle for Trump, and still gets an icy blast of a comment from Leavitt. www.wsj.com/us-news/trum...

They really cut $1 Trillion from Medicaid then put $50 billion back and think we’re all too dumb to notice

At year end, the dividing line in politics today is defined by dignity. Dignity is something that can't be taken away. It can only be surrendered voluntarily. We saw the most powerful business leaders willing to surrender dignity while everyday Americans stood tall.

Tatiana Schlossberg has passed away at 35. Please read this beautiful essay she published last month. It's one of the best things I've read in a long time. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

This is how you do it folks

If IQ or public accomplishment determined the winner, former Senator Doug Jones (D) would smoke former football coach Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), who many Democrats say is the dimmest bulb in the U.S. Senate—a particularly competitive field this term. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.

"The U.S. #Constitution starts with the Preamble, beginning with the iconic phrase 'We the People of the #UnitedStates,' which establishes that #government authority comes from the #citizens, not a ruler" ' #WeThePeople' doesn't mean only the people we like & approve of... it means all people 🌎🌍🌏🏳️‍🌈⚧️

Diversification of news sources was identified by 2 former MAGA as key to escaping the cult. They went on to form the Leaving MAGA support organisation. 👇🏼🧵 of key points from their interview with former CIA officer @johnsipher.bsky.social, link to his Mission Implausible podcast, & to Leaving MAGA.

Interesting. Trump called Epstein twice in November 2004. Wasn’t that when they were engaged in that bidding war over the mansion in Palm Beach? Trump bought it for $41 million and then in 2008, sold it to Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev for $95 million.

As the Democracy Docket team worked this year to cover all aspects of voting rights and democracy and hold the Trump administration accountable, we kept tabs on some of the best and worst moments. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...

Update. The ICE supervisor, who is 47, was arrested for domestic violence against his non-citizen partner who he started a relationship when she was 18 and he was 40. www.fox19.com/2025/12/22/i...

“Millions and millions of people stood up and said: ‘No, this is not acceptable,’” he said. “We won, the president lost and now I’m back on the air every night giving the most powerful politician on earth a right and richly deserved bollocking.” www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/kim...

Sources? This story has been doing the rounds for months and there appears to be little truth in it

You cannot make this shit up. 😳👇

Ah, suddenly Trump’s health makes the news channels tremble… Funny how for Biden, every slip of the tongue or tiny stumble was enough to trigger a week of medical speculation. It seems that media outrage has its well‑established favorites. #ProudBlue #DV1

ICYMI: Senator Ben Ray Luján cannot get a straight answer from FCC Chair Brendan Carr. The website has now been updated removing the word “independent”.

Tapes of Trump bullying Georgia House Speaker to commit election fraud were released by NYT. On the tapes, Trump wants Ralston to call a special election and say there was fraud and Trump won by a 100,000 votes even though he clearly lost. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 hiphopwired.com/2961856/d

I miss the days when FBI Directors caught mass shooters and didn’t fly to wresting events on a government jet to watch their girlfriend sing.

As new Epstein files are released, keep in mind that in his first term, Trump ate, flushed, and stole documents, and his Chief of Staff burned them in the White House fireplace.

How Much More Can America Take of "Trump Derangement Syndrome?" open.substack.com/pub/thomhart... Excellent read from Thom Hartmann "...Trump Derangement Syndrome isn’t a disease of the critics; it’s the predictable response to a leader who thrives on hate..." #BlueCrew #TrumpMustGo

Honestly, when is enough enough!? Asking for a lot of people really sick of this shit. 🤥

Is that too much to ask? open.substack.com/pub/logicall...

The biggest lie told to American farmers, and who profited from it.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Gov. Pritzker: "[ICE] killed an unarmed person just a couple of weeks ago in Franklin Park...They killed somebody...They are just putting out their propaganda and then we've gotta later determine what actually happened."

TRUTH ‼️

So here is my question. Let’s assume Miller & Co. are successful, i.e., they deport, jail, kill, all of the “undesirables.” What do they think society is like then? Like, what happens when they realize there’s still crime, drugs, and no one around to do half the jobs, from manual to skilled labor?1/

It appears that the federal agents occupying Portland have people embedded with them charged with the task of producing stories presenting the government’s version of events. Ironically, this was the sort of work JD Vance did in Iraq before he decided he was against that war.

The protests are on one block. Nothing is burning down. His justification for sending in troops is all based on lies.

Two-thirds of National Park Service employees have been furloughed during the ongoing government shutdown, worsening an already severe staffing shortage. With limited personnel remaining, essential maintenance, law enforcement, and visitor services are significantly reduced.
