Look at *when* he entered Epstein’s world

“agencies are leveraging data collected for legitimate governmental purposes — tax compliance, pensions, medical and food security benefits, and now airport security — and repurposing it for surveillance.” www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/ice-is-mon...

Steve Bannon ripped off his own followers with his ‘build the wall’ scam. Trump pardons him. Then photos come out showing him hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein AFTER he was charged with child trafficking, and yet he somehow has an audience because really MAGA stands for nothing.

Nixon didn’t go to prison over Watergate, but 48 others were convicted and served time for the scandal - notably, his Attorney General. Attention: Pam Bondi meet John Mitchell.

the press fucking loved george bush too and this is the canonical COMEBACK KID piece from broder www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...

The isolationist right was never isolationist. They just wanted to shun alliances and international law while embarking on their own bizarre imperial adventures.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…

But Fox News said...

'Gamergate was to the John Birch Society what Birth Of A Nation was to the second Klan' is a sentence that makes sense to me. When will this suffering end

At least Robert Welch chided his followers not to be openly racist, unlike TPUSA.

He couldn't even threaten the majority of his own party into line. For six months he could seemingly brush aside all challenges; that has passed. He's a weak lame duck and he will increasingly fail in his initiatives.

The Financial Times finally covers the Network State cult. Is this tech fascism? "I mean,we are funding companies that will operate non-democratic cities...and if you're not into that you shouldn't move there," says Peter Thiel protégé Patri Friedman.

💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv. The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

BREAKING: Judge orders immediate release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from immigration detention Judge Paula Xinis said he has been detained "without lawful authority.”

That's the answer. "This is obviously corrupt and we'll reverse it as soon as we're in, and it will cost more to undo it, so they should all just wait until Trump is out and we get back to the Rule of Law."

A media mogel with important merger business before the FCC says he has "great conversations" about it with Trump, while Trump for his part speaks openly about the kind of ownership he wants to see at CNN, a news network he detests. And it's just another day in our Orbanization. Via @status.news

It is as old as America that many see wealth as a proxy for intelligence, ignoring the roles played by privilege and luck in securing wealth.

“Meta has removed or restricted dozens of accounts belonging to abortion access providers, queer groups and reproductive health organisations in the past weeks in what campaigners call one of the ‘biggest waves of censorship’ on its platforms in years.” www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

The University of Texas has long been an outstanding institution of higher learning. No more. "“I considered transferring out of U.T.,” said Ms. Gomez, “because if my professors are unable to teach me, and I’m not able to have candid conversations to get a proper education, what am I here for?”"

They're all going to end up in the Hague and they know it.

YES. The flips of statehouses will allow state-level Dems to do all kinds of "laboratory of democracy" stuff, and also to wipe out gerrymanders and restrictions and maximize the ability to keep the federal majorities won in 2026.

We have learned that Farage was a racist and an antisemite in his youth, and that ought to inform how we see the racism and antisemitism that his party barely pretends to conceal now. That's the whole appeal.

This is probably why they made up that silly "peace" prize for Trump. The wanted this lawsuit dropped. And good old Trump thinks corruption should be legal anyway. www.cbsnews.com/news/doj-mov...

He's never been particularly smart, but his access to basic background knowledge is slipping and he's filling in with incoherent bullshit.

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.” In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

NEWS: Trump officials are worried the ICC may try to prosecute them for war crimes once Trump's term ends, and are threatening sanctions against the ICC to change its founding document to grant them immunity. (via Reuters / link in reply)

🚨 For the first time, Danish intelligence has identified the US as a potential security threat to the country under the Trump administration, amid ongoing geopolitical disputes over Greenland. 🚨 This is not normal. euromaidanpress.com/2025/12/10/f...

Spineless Republicans bending the knee once again. Do they not see the writing on the wall? Or is it the ketchup on the wall that scares them? #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Sandie Peggie mostly lost and looks like shit. The media narrative is spin.

What a waste, in addition to fraud. Lauren Boebert used campaign funds in the thousands to buy tickets for Kid Rock. The kicker is that reportedly Kid Rock is her boyfriend. Sage, bathe, get vaccines & wear condoms. ( why would you embezzle funds to see your BF?

"Trump is an outright racist and he appeals to 10s of millions of US citizens who are also outright racists" is both fundamentally, obviously true ... and something that mainstream journalism has decided is impermissible to say.

They know they can't prove these are drug boats. If this were about drugs, they'd disable and board like the Coast Guard always has. It's not. It's about manufacturing consent for regime change in Venezuela.

Lying liar and the insane lies he tell. (S)

He appears to be trying very hard not to just shout he really wants to say.

If the Brexit ref was held today, Remain would win by over 8 million votes. That huge majority is created from old Leavers dying, young pro-EU people entering the electorate, and millions changing their mind. It's time for the big parties to accept this reality and aim their policies toward Rejoin.

Is there a rule book about this? 👇

Something every 2026/28 Dem should commit to is investigations of any company that did deals with Trump. A kind of forward guidance to get companies to think twice in advance of what’s coming.

So, Trump’s plan is to give a $2K one time payment to Americans instead of to insurance companies, but Americans are supposed to use the $2K to buy insurance from insurance companies. Did I get that right? Not only is it willfully insufficient for people’s healthcare needs, but it’s nonsensical.

And even if you're right, the punishment for drug smuggling isn't death.

Code of Conduct for United States Judges, Canon 5: "A judge should not . . . attend or purchase a ticket for a dinner or other event sponsored by a political organization or candidate... A judge should not engage in any other political activity." (All judges receive training on this.)

Republicans in Congress have a free gym & health insurance we pay for, & they trash the ACA that gave millions healthcare for the 1st time. The “much better healthcare plan” Trump’s been promising for 11 years is “kill the ACA & install chin-up bars in airports.”
