Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens in MN if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness right now.

Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."

"You deserve to die if you disagree with us" is their position. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This appears to be the most recent DHS policy, and you are correct. www.dhs.gov/sites/defaul...

After a white county in South Carolina rejected a data center, developers have sets their sights on a Black community for a proposed data center complex the size of 1,200 football fields

Want to see what MAGA is thinking right now?

So, a MAGA puppet?

It’s strangely refreshing that Trump has gone full Republican circa 1980s and 2000s on Venezuela. And he’s being honest about the oil! The mask is off. He is a war monger like the rest.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

Our media fails us AGAIN. Maduro has not been captured. This framing glosses over what’s happening here.

More like kidnapped. We have no right to capture him no matter how much of a dictator he is.

To sum up, a US president is going to war without congressional authorization against a sovereign nation that has not attacked or threatened it, and is doing so like a thief in the night, with no explanation for the American people or the world. It is all so unimaginable that it strains credulity.

For those justifying everything saying it’s ok against a regime that authoritarian, answer what is your regime at the moment? If it is a pure democracy, proceed to step number two - the UN Charter.

Trump’s Dept. of Justice lied. Again. He is a convicted criminal abusing the powers of the DOJ to victimize anyone in his sights. A mob boss has been given all the powers of the U.S. government. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/n...

Every tight shot image in this piece feels appropriately framed as a mug shot from the 40s. Incredible.

WOW; a DEEPLY corrupt move by the immigration courts; clear collaboration with Trump admin officials to produce a specific result with zero notice to the party and ALSO in a situation where the judge facially lacks jurisdiction; the judge had denied a motion to reopen and the case is on appeal.

He’s going to complain about not getting a Nobel Peace Prize every time he shows this off. Love this for him.

I did not witness the communications between Sec. Hegseth and Adm. Bradley, so I do not know what occurred between them. I do know that the second strafing of the Venezuelan boat to kill the survivors is likely a war crime & murder. We should find out who did what & prosecute everyone culpable.

California, and the country, cannot await the outcome of the midterms to repel Trump’s siege on democracy. More drastic action is required.

This is cute. He doesn’t want us to be mad at him.

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

If they're that pissed, it's time to publicly call for Schumer to go. Otherwise, we don't believe you.

Win SNAP legal fight. Get an ACA vote in Dec. If no vote or it fails, shutdown Jan. 30. Everybody gets to go home for the holidays. Midterm messaging: (affordability) They don’t give a damn ‘bout you and yours.

Same energy youtu.be/Nxgkb_lYJJE?...

This is what desperation sounds like. Do it big boy.

I will say it again, the best part about Prop 50 is that California did it with the power and the confidence of its people. Texas did it in secret, away from public view and from the orders of the thug rapist in the Oval. Fair maps for all, until we have a Congress that represents all of us.

He did it! 👏🏾

Hearing NBCs Kristen Walker say democrats could learn “too many lessons” from tonight reminds me of why I haven’t watched any major news outlets in a year.

this is genuinely wild

BREAKING: Pennsylvania voters approve to retain three state Supreme Court justices, NBC News projects, preserving Democrats’ 5-2 majority on the state’s high court.

“In an email to the six members of the Commission of Fine Arts, who were all appointed by former President Joe Biden, officials told them they were terminated, effective immediately”

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare. And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

Just received info from Florida Blue regarding our 2026 premium increase. This for a Bronze plan. Our monthly premium for our plan is going from the current $333.79 in 2025 to $2,310.89 in 2026. A 700% increase.

Today's official crowd count estimate from #NoKings coalition: 7 million people turned out nationwide That's 2 million more than the #NoKings peaceful protests in June

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

It's one thing to be politically divided into red states and blue states. We are now being militarily divided into red states and blue states. It's crossing the Rubicon, a bright-red flashing warning that the constitutional order is coming unglued, in a way that will have monumental consequences. /x

To reiterate: this wasn't done even at the height of the civil rights era and massive resistance, when no doubt the bulk of those state's Guard units were themselves racists and segregationists. But they weren't treated as disloyal. There was no notion they would refuse the president's orders.

In none of these cases, when the federal government was openly and with good reason using military force, did Eisenhower or JFK or LBJ say "ok, we're sending the Vermont National Guard to Mississippi to handle this." That would have been understood as insane, it wasn't even considered.

SCOOP: PA prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parent's address in Pennsylvania for years. Me with @marisakabas.bsky.social slate.com/news-and-pol...

It's like this guy watched a bunch of war movies and internalized that the abusive drill sargeant was actually the Good Guy.

The headline here is “Hegseth announces changes that will protect domestic abusers in the military.” Even though this is incontestably true, no news organization will use this headline, because telling the truth is deemed impermissible if the truth hurts the right too much

Yes, this is what a dictator says.

yeah, this is hegseth straightforwardly announcing that it is free play time for bigots in the ranks. and together with his comments on standards, he clearly wants to purge as many women, black and brown people as he can from the armed services. a white man's military.

Here’s the thing: rights ultimately protect all of us or none of us. Freedom exists for all of us or none of us. The urge to carve off communities one-by-one — a little off the trans flank here, a little off the Black side there — leads down a road to freedom being demolished for all of us.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Keep standing up to Trump’s ongoing attacks on the First Amendment. Keep pressuring media outlets and corporations to protect the free press. Collectively, WE have power. Giving in to tyranny only invites more of it.
