what a pathetic human being

"The president of the United States is a hateful raging lunatic with all the empathy of Jeffrey Dahmer." Clarity worth reading, from @jimgeraghty https://t.co/TUvywAjRKA

You have to lack any functioning brain cells to believe a word of this. Nothing about it makes sense.

The Republican propaganda that Trump “inherited” a bad economy from Biden and is making it better is the exact opposite of true. The numbers don’t lie and people know what they are experiencing.

U.S. military should not be present as backdrop when the President - any President - launches into overtly partisan political statements. He’s free to do so, but they should excuse themselves.

When does all the winning start for the non-billionaires?

If we can't even identify our enemies then how can we fight them? Trump's National Security Strategy is the longest suicide note in American history www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

"The meeting made explicit what was already becoming apparent: The iconoclasts are in charge and pursuing a campaign against public health guidance, as such." | Grayson Logue https://thedispatch.com/article/vaccine-panel-hepatitis-b-recommendations-iconoclasts/

Yes, the jobs numbers continue to get worse under Trump. No, the party in power will not take responsibility for any of it.

Interesting

I’ll never forget the Sunday morning when my parents’ pastor, one of the most prominent pastors in this town, declared from the pulpit that Trump was “the most pro life president ever” Friends he is not pro life, in any sense. His words are the words of death, darkness, and cruelty. Not of life.

There’s a saying, “the process is the punishment” Kelly has done nothing wrong but he will now be subjected to a grueling and costly (in terms of time and likely in terms of $$) process to defend himself. This is authoritarianism in action.

Hello, maga. This is who he is, how can you be surprised? But, still, I'm glad some of you are upset.

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Immigration is an essential ingredient of what made America great. My family arrived in the early 20th Century, my wife's in the late 20th century, and our kids are as American as any self-proclaimed "heritage American." God bless America.

Yesterday, ICE pulled over @repilhan.bsky.social's son and asked for proof of citizenship. He was on his way home from Target. President Trump promised ICE would go after criminals. Instead, they’re racially profiling, operating on daily quotas and ignoring due process. It’s a disgrace.

As AG Bondi knows, her 3/14/25 Alien Enemies Act guidance deprived the removed individuals of any due process as to whether they were in fact "terrorists." SCOTUS was *unanimous* that she acted unconstitutionally. She should stop her unseemly, politicized tantrums.

“.. He led me into the Hilltop, where half the people inside knew his name, to a corner where we sat drinking diner coffee. ‘You won’t meet anyone more conservative than me, and I didn’t vote for this,’ Zink said.” @politico.com #DOGE www.politico.com/news/magazin...

NEW: One of the most significant accomplishments of the Trump Admin: Decimating the US's humanitarian aid. We went to S. Sudan to see the effects. Rubio says no one has died from the cuts. Spoiler: That's not true. @annamaria.bsky.social & Brett Murphy: www.propublica.org/article/usai...

this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

One citizen said that federal agents in Idaho pointed guns at her children, ages 6 and 8, and dragged her 14-year-old daughter out of a truck and zip-tied her. The mother told investigators that an agent threatened to “fucking blow your head off.” By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl. Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist. They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed. Another horrific story. More details below.

ICE PEPPER SPRAYED A ONE-YEAR-OLD because her mother was filming them.

American citizens are not required to have “their papers” on them.

Very good @nytimes.com investigation of crypto deregulation and who benefits. The next wave of stories will be about the consumers who were ripped off www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/u...

“Even worse, parents and kids learned together to use their phones. We all experienced these new technologies at the same time, and we often behaved no better than our teenage sons and daughters. Our kids were taking notes as social media broke our brains and hardened our hearts.”

Woot!

No president in American history has profited off the presidency like this Not close Foreign money Crypto schemes Access for sale And a net worth up billions This week on @contrariannews.org we discuss Trump's top 10 profiteering scandals - TN contrarian.substack.com/p/trump-and-...

Add to this that HSI just filed a declaration in our case challenging these policies saying they can’t trust REAL IDs as proof of status. So showing your papers isn’t even enough to end the stop.

My team was able to help Carlos from Eagan with his immigration case recently. Carlos, I’m so glad we were able to help you get your Green Card. If you or your loved ones need help with a federal agency, please contact my office at 651-846-2120.

A reminder that most Americans who are life-long citizens have nothing OTHER than a Real ID to prove their citizenship. This is CBP’s chief enforcer saying that ID doesn’t count.

CITIZENS DON'T NEED IMMIGRATION DOCUMENTS

While federal agents patrol the Twin Cities, a Mexican grocer in St. Paul is filling a gap for families too frightened to shop.

Jan Špunar now stands alone. He broke a record previously shared by Ed Belfour and Jordan Parise on Friday night. Story from The Ralph: www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-h...

End-of-game fracas will result in at least two suspensions - UND's Andrew Strathmann and Omaha's Sean Tschigerl. The league will have a decision to make on Omaha's Brett Hyland. Story on the melee at The Ralph: www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-h...

George Will on MIT: "Trump’s compact forbids universities to 'belittle' — wait for it — 'conservative ideas.' Such as? Civility? Free trade? Fiscal continence? The separation of powers? The rule of law?... The Trump administration is today’s comprehensive belittler of conservative ideas."

LOL... Pentagon released a new AI military chatbot and it immediately pointed out that Pete Hegseth is a war criminal. abovethelaw.com/2025/12/pent...

True Breaking News (Washington Post): VA to cut 35,000 health care jobs across nation like nurses & doctors. VA already strained. Did our vets refuse to give back medals to melt into gold bars/coin/ballroom sconces for Trump? Truly the worst vets’ Christmas present ever.

Is it time for a law requiring law enforcement of whatever stripes to make publicly available information about who is arrested and for what? www.startribune.com/tracking-ice...

Mother of Karoline Leavitt’s Nephew speaks out after ICE arrest: I think what I would have to say to Karoline is just because you went to a catholic school doesn't make you a good catholic.

Somali Minnesotans can speak to this xenophobia so clearly because they feel the consequences of his hateful words. Read what Faisa has to say:

Look, countries (like the UK) can decide for themselves if they want to be part of the EU or not. But the U.S. shouldn't be actively trying to sabotage the EU by pushing its members to leave.

Of course, of course: "GOP lawmakers seek Trump aid for agricultural equipment after tariff pressure" www.cnbc.com/2025/12/10/t...

MUST WATCH: For the past two years, I have been focused on the rise of hate in America. These are just some of the incredible stories that we uncovered in 2025. (Please watch and tell me what you think.) vimeo.com/1145649279

"Deportation Judges." Words matter. Words chosen by the nation's preeminent law enforcement agency say a great deal.

Democrats have been willing to negotiate. We’ve offered compromises to extend the health care tax credits so millions do not see their insurance premiums double. Every time, congressional Republicans have turned us down and refused to stand up for their own constituents.

Bennie Thompson on Noem: "Her arrival was short lived. She left in the middle of the hearing ostensibly to go to another meeting. We found that the meeting had been canceled, so she could've stayed. But nonetheless, we're not surprised, because this is who she is."

I'm with Atticus, and this man.

This is a good interview. The Colorado AG is not playing Trump’s silly game. Stick to your guns, follow the law, stand up to Trump’s lunacy. This is how we win.

If Republicans in Indiana can tell Trump to get fucked, Republicans everywhere can too.
