Even though the Eagles lost yesterday, Philadelphia remains undefeated

Pam Bondi is going to announce tomorrow that Jerome Powell tried to ram Donald Trump with his car

My record on affordability is clear: we’ve cut taxes SEVEN times in three years — putting money back into the pockets of Pennsylvania parents, seniors, and small businesses.

✅ Tripled the Child Care Tax Credit. ✅ Expanded the Property Tax Rent Rebate. ✅ Created the Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit.

BREAKING: Manufacturing jobs have plummeted under Trump's tariffs—this is not putting America first.

Not everyone believed me when I wrote that Trump wants Greenland becuase it would make him feel important, but that's what he told the NYT: When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success" www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

what you clearly see, CLEARLY, is a driver who is spooked by the agents grabbing her door, takes steps to drive away, and is immediately shot as moves her vehicle *away* from the agents.

In the face of chaos and cuts from Washington, the Shapiro-Davis Administration has stepped up and continued to invest in community-based efforts to reduce gun violence. Our latest state budget increased funding for the Violence Intervention and Prevention program.

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

One thing I didn't fully appreciate until I sat on a jury and reviewed body cam footage for myself, is how cops yell contradictory instructions at people like "Don't move" "Put your hands up" "Get the fuck out of here" "Keep your hands where I can see them" etc. all screamed at your face with guns

ICE killed a member of our community today. ICE showed up at my kid’s daycare today. ICE is bragging about the number of families they’ve torn apart in a matter of days, and promising that their campaign of terror isn’t done.

Excellent, clarifying piece on the (real) legal pathway that Minnesota has to prosecute the ICE agent who shot and killed a woman today. No, federal agents do not have absolute immunity from start charges, no matter what the Trump administration claims.

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do." “We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

ADP private payrolls “added 614k jobs in 2025 ... other than the dramatic decline in 2020, that is the weakest year we've seen going back to 2011.” - Schwab

We've got money to bail out Argentina and subsidize oil companies in Venezuela, but we're laying off disaster workers that help Americans? Make it make sense ...

"Well, personally, I kinda wanna slay the dragon."

Republicans accidentally protected abortion while trying to kill Obamacare. Read from @imillhiser.bsky.social:

"There are many ways to diagnose the state of the nation, but if there is a sickness eating away at American democracy, it is our culture of elite impunity." -- @jamellebouie.net

New: "Oil And Gas Industry Spent $250 Million On Elections That Produced The Current U.S. Government—And A Potential Venezuela Windfall" 88% of that $250M went to Republicans. me, for @forbes.com with @opensecrets.org's analysis www.forbes.com/sites/zachev...

OUT: Helping you pay for health care. IN: Helping oil companies pay for their infrastructure in a foreign country.

I wrote section 230 to protect user speech, not a company's own speech. I've long said AI chatbot outputs are not protected by 230 and that it is not a close call. Given that the Trump administration is going to the mat to protect pedophiles, states should step in to hold Musk and X accountable.

The Trump Administration has money to bail out oil companies, but nothing for families whose health insurance premiums are skyrocketing

In a statement, the American College of Nurse-Midwives called her death a “profound failure of the systems meant to protect birthing people.” “That a Black midwife and maternal health expert died after giving birth in the United States is both heartbreaking and unacceptable.”

One of the most lopsided results you'll ever see in a poll, from our weekend Washington Post poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

Let’s be clear: the Trump Admin is lying to the American people. This has never been about stopping drugs from coming to the US — it’s about grabbing Venezuela’s oil for his billionaire buddies. Trump has put American troops in harm’s way to boost oil company profits. Outrageous.

The way we need to market this shit is to do what conservatives did for the past 30 years and write books like “The ten forbidden truths you’re not allowed to say on politically correct tv” and then it’s just cities are mostly fine and it’s good to get a flu shot

these fucking people. they pass laws to make sure every person with a screw loose who wants an Armalite can show up to the day care armed & ready to kill, then complain that the day cares are locked to protect the children inside

But I was told the tariffs were designed to reinvigorate American manufacturing? Why delay if that's the case? /s

My 2026 energy

The lesson of 2025: fighting back works. Not immediately. Not perfectly. It’s a grind. But don’t let fascists tell you they are inevitable. 2026 is starting off right.

It rocks because a) it was his not Kamala’s campaign promise that the Files would be released, b) he is mad that this is biting him in the ass in a way that among other things diverts resources from his election rigging schemes, and c) he repeatedly said that his “friends” are the ones in the Files

Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing: Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.

There was a liberal court for a few years in the mid 20th century and the right wing response was to delegitimize for DECADES right up to the point they had a supermajority, at which point it became Wrong to do so. These people think you are stupid bsky.app/profile/chri...

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

So the President did disclose a CIA drone strike inside Venezuela. And this does cross a red line of violating the UN Charter -- where the boat strikes on high seas had not. www.cnn.com/2025/12/29/p...

Sarah Cooper is back on Trump and she absolutely nailed it 🔥

So here she is, a silly and sometimes grumpy, resilient, Lady Gaga-adoring, nature-loving, earnest and sarcastic, smart-beyond-belief, desperate-for-affection teenager who wants to become a fire fighter. She is a girl who won a race and took on the ire of some of this country’s most powerful people.

Whatever your opinion is on trans girls in sports, I hope you'll spend some time with this story her life. I’m not a scientist, so I can’t settle the advantage question for certain, but I do believe that when adults boo a child, they should know more about the child they are booing.

A year and a half ago or so, I read that an entire stadium in Tacoma had booed a trans runner. I wanted to know more. She was 16, and she had stood on a podium in one of the country’s most liberal states and listened to 10,000 people boo her. What I learned surprised me: wapo.st/49lnBUK

“You guys, Hitler wants to see Poland succeed”

post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

"And I never say no" We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control. We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

Trump's DOJ was monitoring all the movements of the Miami Herald reporter who was covering the Epstein case.

Thank you, New York Times. I too agree that The Onion had the same level of cultural impact this year that Sabrina Carpenter did.

I also discussed the most radical film released by a major studio this year.

MAGA may be trying to buy up -- or kill -- the culture. But it pushed back against the regime in all sorts of ways. I wrote about some of them for the @nytimes.com, including the epic return of @theonion.com ... www.nytimes.com/2025/12/27/o...

Consumers were less confident in the economy in December as Americans grow anxious about high prices and the impact of President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs. https://to.pbs.org/3MRT4pM

Corporate bankruptcies surged in 2025, rivaling levels not seen since the immediate aftermath of the Great Recession, as import-dependent businesses absorbed the highest tariffs in decades.
