Follow the money. Always.

Returning to a 91% marginal tax rate to end billionairism would require a nationwide campaign to EXPLAIN the difference between marginal and effective rates. I see people all the time who don't like the status quo but who also "don't want to tax 91% of anyone's earnings" (which isn't what happens).

This is utterly irresponsible and plainly dumb.

I'm having trouble finding the "America Mourns Rob and Michelle Reiner" piece from the NY Times Editorial Board.

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean. I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

Black Lists are coming and even your own family will turn on you. It happens in every oppressive regime, no matter the ideological flavor.

More "Christian"+ pro-life in action. Amirite?

I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.

Mother Mary wearing a respirator mask to protect herself from tear gas. Baby Jesus with zip-tied hands, wrapped in a thin blanket that looks like aluminum foil. Masked centurions with sunglasses and green vests labeled “ICE.”

It's terrifying how many callous maniacs walk among us and get to amplify their garbage.

Absolute blood-gargling psychopath. She's talking about drug runners at worst, more likely fishermen. I was in Pakistan eight weeks after 9/11, then combat with al Qaeda fighters in Afghanistan in early 2002. Never heard anyone around me say anything similar with this level of maniacal earnestness.

Alex Horton, one of the two Washington Post reporters who broke the story, has been a participant in more violent combat than Pete Hegseth by an order of magnitude. It's not a coincidence that he got the scoop.

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

This is an ethnic cleansing campaign

Feels like "missing" is inaccurate. This child was kidnapped by the secret police and is now either a political prisoner or a trafficking victim.

it should probably be a bigger story that the richest man on earth and leading Republican is a fucking Nazi media needs to stop beating around the bush. this is Nazi shit.

Congressman Cuellar and his wife were scheduled to face a trial next year for several charges including bribery and money laundering

Don't usually plug my company here, but I want to share this tea from Myanmar because of the effort that went into it. We expected it in June, but war, earthquakes and tariff issues delayed it. If you like good tea, need a unique gift idea or just want to support these farmers, please check it out.

Look, I take no pleasure in this... but I was right about how the military would in fact follow illegal orders. Admiral Frank Bradley committed a clear war crime because those were the orders from command. www.justsecurity.org/125948/illeg...

Regular reminder that NFL and NBA teams are required to publicly disclose athlete health conditions and injuries in far greater detail than the president of the United States who has the nuclear codes

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

Civilizational collapse

To replace income taxes with tariffs, you’d have to raise tariff rates to levels that would effectively eliminate international trade, and thus the tariff revenue would plummet to near zero.

“Black Friday,” Stephen miller yells, getting redder and redder, “will be replaced with White Friday.”

If you'd gone on a cable news show six or eight years ago and said Trump's obvious goal was to remain in power to end all immigration to the U.S., a Very Serious Journalist across from you would've stuttered angrily, "Wh– wh– whaaat??? That's preposterous! Trump has never suggested that!"

Exclusive: Hegseth ordered everyone killed in the first alleged drug boat strike on Sept. 2, prompting a second hit to finish off survivors in the water in a mission led by SEAL Team 6. Ordering no quarter could legally perilous www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The journalist who got this scoop and reported it is a former U.S. Army infantry soldier and Iraq War vet

🎁Gift Article Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all As two men clung to a stricken, burning ship targeted by SEAL Team 6, the Joint Special Ops commander followed the SEC Defense's order to leave no survivors. By Alex Horton Ellen Nakashima wapo.st/49KbUJ1

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.

This does a great job explaining the second- and third-order effects of the tariff policy. Just crushing for small businesses. Please support them this holiday season and also be patient.

“I had to take our baby from my crying wife’s arms ...” “It’s insane to have them rip our family apart ... Whoever is directing this has completely lost touch with their mission to the country.” this is what losing humanity looks like ...

ICE kidnapped another US citizen. Before filming, the goon smashed the car’s window and dragged the driver’s US citizen brother out of the car after he refused to exit. November 25, 2025 Phoenix, Arizona

After All That Bullshit, HBO Dreams Of Being HBO Again We’ve documented in detail how the whole AT&T–>Time Warner–>Warner Brothers Discovery merger process has been a pointless mess, resulting in no limits of layoffs and damage to the underlying brands. What was supposed to be a gambit by these…

Sen. Wicker has long been an ardent defender of Trump, opposing his first impeachment on charges that he attempted to extort Ukraine's president and his second impeachment on charges he incited an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Shit St Paul ICE agent aims gun

I’m sorry, but if Democrats were in power, would this not be in the headlines every single day?

Much, much more background here on the ongoing — and increasingly open — GOP movement to Christianize Texas public schools.

This hearing just began with a State Board of Education member trying to bar a Council on American-Islamic Relations representative barred from speaking because she leads a "terrorist" organization. (Yesterday, Gov. Abbott designated CAIR as such).

A pro-voting group sued Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, accusing him of scheming to suppress the rapidly-growing power of the state’s Latino voters. If Paxton prevails, it could reshape the landscape for organizations working to expand voter turnout.

Replacing scientists with wellness influencers at HHS is also a good way to kill lots of people, but the effects won't be as immediate as hiring a guy who "did his own research" on how to land planes at JFK

Chuck Schumer got the boss call from the CEO of Delta telling him that Atlanta was down to 25% capacity ahead of the holidays and now you’re gonna pay 4x for health insurance.

Millions of Americans who will no longer be able to afford healthcare need to know the names of those who took it from them. Democrats should rent billboards in South Carolina: THE COST OF YOUR HEALTHCARE DOUBLED BECAUSE OF LINDSEY GRAHAM

Three questions: 1. Is who politicians follow online newsworthy? 2. Is the vice-president more important than a primary candidate to be junior Senator from Texas? 3. If the answer is yes to the first two, why isn’t Axios doing a fuck ton of stories about who JD Vance is following?

Yes - been saying that he's behaving like a mob boss extracting favors and administering punishment for years.

What is the legal basis for this violation of the First Amendment?

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them. There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

TAKEN AT HER COURT HEARING. To all those Americans deceiving themselves that ICE is only going after rapists and murderers, another reminder that’s a lie. They are targeting folks doing the right thing, because it is easier and otherwise they don’t have enough people to arrest. Wake up now.

Good day for Dallas, good day for Dallas residents. Very satisfied with both the council and the police chief.

The problem with "negotiating with Republicans on health care" is that it's worse than dealing with hostage takers. Hostage takers want something else. Republicans don't. They just want to kill the hostages. It's the goal, not a threat. You can't negotiate that.
