Musk paid an effective tax rate of 3.3%. Bezos paid 1%. How? Taking out tax-free loans against their stock. I'm introducing the ROBINHOOD Act to tax these loans and generate $276B for universal childcare and programs to restore access to the American Dream. Billionaires must pay their fair share.

Alvin Holsey can and must speak out on his own.

🇬🇧 "Putin personally gave the order". Britain introduced new sanctions through the "Novichok" attack The sanctions concern 8 officers of the Russian FSB for attempting to kill Yulia and Sergei Skripal on British territory in 2018.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released. “And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

🔔 👀 BEAMAN: “IT WAS A FAIR ELECTION.” Tennessee Republican megadonor Lee Beaman, a Trump TVA board appointee, admits to @schiff.senate.gov he no longer believes the 2020 election was stolen, after previously calling for alternate electors. Seems like a big deal! 🤷🏼

The whole play of Trumpism: convincing working class people to blame other working class people—so billionaires can keep robbing us all.

Analyst @bradyafr.bsky.social published fresh satellite images showing damage from Ukrainian drone strikes on Russia’s Afipsky oil refinery overnight on Nov 30. The refinery, hit at least 8 times since 2022, produces fuel for Russia’s military.

Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias revoked an Enterprise Rent-A-Car license plate after it was swapped out by federal immigration agents, records obtained by the Tribune show.

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling” Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

"The conclusions were made by independent investigators... COPA recommended firing both." "The officers’ promotions this spring were not due to an oversight...The main qualifying factor was their test scores..." Safety is obviously not a real priority when you put predators on the street. #Pinks

This would be, without any doubt, a war crime committed by the United States. We prosecuted Germans and Japanese for doing this exact thing in WWII.

ICYMI: Last week – in a huge win for community safety – we safeguarded essential legal services for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. #orpol

Someone should just stand outside the committee room with a big copy of this:

#UkrainianView Kherson russians are doing everything to "liberate" the city from the resources necessary for the lives of people.

This administration literally pardoned over a thousand people for doing exactly this.

The study Monsanto cited as proof Round-up is safe retracted due to authorship questions, misrepresentation of contributions by authors & Monsanto, conflicts of interest & carcinogenicity of glyphosate conclusions that ignored other published research. 🌿🌎🌱 www.thenewlede.org/2025/12/citi...

“When it comes to security guarantees from Russia, they are empty words. What would really work is very clear back-up by the US so in the case of renewed aggression, the US will supply Ukraine with all necessary weapons and intelligence." Elena Davlikanova https://bit.ly/4ouDgpY

This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

So many new followers; thought I'd say hi and answer questions 👋🏼 I'm Jessý, scientist & founder of Sidequest: Iceland (launching soon!) We do travel for nerds (yes, nerds.) We have tours w/ scientist guides. The biggest #northernlights question we get: why are there so many big auroras right now?

I've got new details coming soon on what lawmakers saw on the video of the second strike and what they heard in the classified briefing today. It's deeply unnerving stuff. Stay tuned.

What did minimum wage get you each decade? In 2025, it buys you nothing but exhaustion. There’s not a single place in America where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford even a modest 2-bedroom. Not one. That’s the economy we’re living in. #TrumpAffordabilityCrisis

Um, how about no?

Did someone* try to assassinate Zelensky with drones targeting his flight to Dublin? Because flying four large drones into the expected flight path (the plane was early) looks like an assassination attempt. *Yes, obviously Russia is the likely suspect, but not literally the only possibility.

2025 has been a rough year for me, but somehow I managed to get through it all without giving away my friends' location over Signal, committing war crimes, or flying in every high-level employee in my company to tell them they're fat.

It was physically impossible for that boat to reach anywhere close to the United States, even before it was a flaming upside-down wreck, and Tom Cotton knows that. He's not that stupid, he just thinks everyone else is. This kind of dishonesty is inseparable from egotistical arrogance.

Just in case you are tracking things: America are the bad guys. We are the bad guys.

Republican Rep.Michael McCaul of Texas: The Russia has abducted at least 20,000 [Ukrainian]children.That is the number we can verify.But every expert I’ve spoken with believes the true figure is far,far higher… As a father of five,I can’t imagine any of my children being kidnapped

15 years ago, Democrats passed the Affordable Care Act. We fought to ensure every American could access affordable, high-quality health care. And we’re still fighting. Republicans want to rip health care away from millions. We won’t let them.

Outrageous.

Trump's playlist pumps "Live and Let Die" before his "Delivering Peace" event

Chris Rufo—a prominent anti-DEI crusader—-says the “idea that private companies should be able to prioritize hiring married men w/ families is completely within the bounds of rzbl debate, &…it's absurd that individuals cannot hire whomever they want [ie, discriminate] in their own companies…” 1/

Yep.

He will be remembered in history as the most stuріd president in the world who was played like a 3 year old by Putin.
