This absurd pardon shows the murderous boat bombings were never about stopping drugs

"This is just nonsense. Let me start with one important fact-check. The president appears not to understand the difference between millions, billions, and trillions." www.alternet.org/wolfers-trum...

Trump Announces Pardon for Honduran Ex-President Convicted in Drug Case, “running his Central American country like a narco state.” Pete Hegseth, meanwhile, ordered murders of people on a boat in the Caribbean. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/w...

The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time." Full article: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/28/m...

My takeaway from this story is that it's becoming ok again in Republican circles to express at least mild disgust at Trump's ever-growing crudity. And that's a good thing. www.newsweek.com/republican-t...

A woman recently went viral for holding up a window sign during a traffic stop, part of a growing trend of drivers using cards to assert their rights instead of speaking to police.

In 2028 America will elect a Younger more Progressive Democratic Leader who will appoint a More Aggressive AG who will appoint several Prosecutors for Several Indictments on Trump. Jack Smith would have landed Trump in Jail had Trump not won. A Return to True Justice will Happen ⚖️⚖️👊🇺🇸😎

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Agree 💯 With George.......

Even as he leverages his presidency to make himself millions, perhaps even billions of dollars, Donald Trump is also funneling Republican donor money into his own cash registers through the political committees he controls. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Like 30% of the country is absolutely enraged because they thought they were going to be able to be utter shitbirds without anyone being allowed to call them shitbirds, but here we are, calling them shitbirds.

From Heather Cox Richardson’s letter last night:

It is being withheld to conceal weak economic performance. The biggest reason is that this third quarter report will highlight in full how the tariffs affected America and American businesses. It will be made clear that America paid for these tariffs.

Tom Nichols is right. It's way past time for the 25th Amendment.

It’s on 🔥 The boycott rolled right up to their front door. ‘We Ain’t Buying It”

When the strongest argument for your policy is a list of lies (I count 7) and exaggerations (another 5), you reveal more than a wonky list of truths ever would.

There’s an econ problem and a trust problem. When a president finally addresses affordability and insists “It's gone away, prices are falling” while your rent and groceries say otherwise, the message you hear is: you’re wrong, or invisible, or you're being ignored. That’s rocket fuel for anger.

In the 1970s, factory robots hammered blue‑collar jobs and made cars cheaper for professionals. Many white‑collar folks shrugged. Now AI threatens office work, making services cheaper for blue‑collar consumers. Same movie, different cast. Fairness means seeing both sides.

"If you look at job growth between January and September ... for the past 15 years, it's only been worse once, and that was during the pandemic ... It is the worst first nine months for the labor market in 15 years."

Holy shit! Trump has no decency or compassion. A reporter asked if he planned to attend the funeral of Sarah Beckstrom, the National Guard member who just died. Instead of offering condolences, he said he would “consider it” and pivoted to bragging about his margin of victory in West Virginia.

🧵 Lowe's CEO, one of 8 Black Fortune 500 CEOs, stands firm on DEI. "Championing Diversity Through Action: Ellison’s approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is rooted in practical change rather than public statements" Home Depot, meanwhile, allows ICE agents to raid its parking lots.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

There was no "Emergency" situation with crime in DC. This stunt got a 20 year old young woman killed. It. Got. A. Woman. Killed.

So, Hegseth illegally ordered everyone killed in the first alleged drug boat strike on Sept. 2, prompting a second hit to finish off survivors in the water. — This is the real reason why Trump & Hegseth absolutely freaked out about the video against illegal orders.

🤷🏼

Release the Epstein files. Release the MRI results.

Lest we forget, this is far from the first drug trafficker that Trump has pardoned Which makes the extrajudicial killing of Venezuelans even more immoral

Food pantries across the United States are forgoing fresh produce in favor of cheap processed foods after budget cuts from the Trump administration have significantly reduced the amount of federal aid being directed toward food assistance, according to reports.

More cracks in the dam

Hegseth issued an illegal Caribbean strike order: “Kill them all.” SEAL Team 6 hit the boat and saw survivors clinging to the wreckage. Commanders then ordered a second strike to finish them off. Killing survivors is blatantly illegal. #WarCrimes

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Dancing on the graves of the Americans he's killed.

If you think there's going to be a response to this other than Little Reichstag Fires Everywhere until midterms, you are sadly mistaken. The good news is, people seem to be sick of it.

"Donald Trump was so inconsolable about National Guard troops being in critical condition, solely because he had callously used them as props, he went golfing. Again."

ZERO HUMANITY… HE’S A CREATURE ‼️

Remember, MAGA fools, when you die for him what matters is how many votes he got in your state. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

15 years ago today, Willie Nelson was arrested in Texas for 6 oz of Cannabis. God, who produces it naturally across the globe, remains at large.

And Fox will stop covering the story in three...two...

With all of the wins listed below, you'd think the USA would be #1 in quality of life. You'd be wrong. Cons still resist. Which is why the US News and World Report Quality of Life Rankings has us currently at #22. Think about that - not even close to the top 10! Billionaires are the problem!

Sigh Listen. Vote for democrats.

Happy Thanksgiving from the ice cream aisle. Thankful for our city.

I don't know why he spends so much time lying about things like the price of groceries and gasoline that are easy to dispute --- you just have to go out and try to buy some...

I'm good. Are y'all ok out there? 🤔
