JFC. The weakening of America continues.

Congratulations to Eileen Higgins on being elected Mayor of Miami! The first Democrat elected to this position in decades, she understands what politics is about: building a safer, more affordable, and better everyday life.

Given that the Supreme Court likes pretending that the Congress does not exist, I think the Congress should act to remind it that not only does the Congress exist but that SCOTUS is its inferior.

James Garfield was murdered by a man who thought he deserved a government job. Chester Arthur—once a machine politician—responded by helping create civil service reform. Today’s GOP wants to undo that progress and return to patronage politics. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Everyone I know is sick, almost all of them sound like Dracula, and I'm coming to the realization we will not have any idea what any of this shit even is until the Felchfather is out of office.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

🚨BREAKING: Indiana Senate Elections Committee voted 6–3 to advance a controversial mid-decade redistricting bill that would all but guarantee the GOP wins all nine of the state’s congressional seats. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A Supreme Court that overturns Humphrey's Executor and 90 years of precedent to enable Donald Trump's corrupt march toward oligarchy is simply not a sustainable or legitimate institution.

Breaking News: The developer of an app that tracks ICE raids sued Trump officials, saying that they pressured Apple to remove it.

“Given Trump’s position on situations like this, he’s going to either need to fire himself or refer himself to the Department of Justice. Trump has deemed that this type of misrepresentation is sufficient to preclude someone from serving the country.”

Thailand has attacked Cambodia. Both countries blamed each other of violating the ceasefire. It is reported that one Thailand soldier was killed, several more were injured. In October, Thailand and Cambodia have signed a ceasefire agreement with President Trump present.

Last night, Russia attacked many Ukrainian regions: 🔷 Dnipropetrovsk region: one person was killed, and five were injured, including two children, as a result of enemy shelling, local authorities reported. Doctors say the condition of the 41-year-old woman who was injured is serious.

NEW: A judge tonight blocked the Justice Department from accessing the emails/hard drive of Comey adviser/former lawyer Dan Richman. The ruling on the docs is a blow to prosecutors as they consider bringing new charges against Comey w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud. Just unspeakable assholery.

MacKenzie Scott: *donates $50M every 10 hours° Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of Palantir: "I want to see people hang"

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night. Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim. Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen. Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

I thought this was a joke. It’s real.

3 Questions: 1) What are we doing? 2) How is this pro-life? 3) What are we doing? www.themirror.com/news/us-news...

NEW: Carol Loennig tells Nicoll Wallace on MSNOW that the DOJ intends to try and indict Letitia James a THIRD time. The trouble with that is these multiple tries help James prove her vindictive and selective prosecution bid, and bolster a case to get the grand jury materials.

JUST IN: Judge Sooknanan has rejected DOJ's effort to dismiss a lawsuit brought by immigration detainees at Guanatanamo Bay, saying the plaintiffs made a plausible claim that the policy is illegal and punitive. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

All three branches of the federal government’s relationship with American citizens is basically a hostage situation

More from Himes: "There was no means for them to communicate, other than the fact that the fire and the smoke was fairly well visible for a long distance around. But there was no radio."

Rep. Jim Himes tells MS NOW the two survivors of that controversial boat strike did not have a radio, contradicting GOP claims: "There was no radio. There were two individuals clinging to flotsam, that's what there was. There wasn't weaponry of any kind. There wasn't a radio."

Presidential Walk of Fatigue

if anything like this was happening in a broad daylight in an African country, western governments would be issuing warnings left and right decrying how unsafe it is for their citizens to travel there

Prison rape is wrong. Jokes about prison rape are wrong. Eliminating protections against prison rape is wrong. If another country sentenced a criminal to be raped, we'd consider it a crime against humanity. BUT A large segment of Americans regard prison rape as a de facto part of the sentence.

Thursday's failed indictment against James is the latest setback for the Justice Department in its bid to prosecute the frequent political target of the Republican president. n.pr/3KI8gFe

I mean, this is an execution

Give this man a Pulitzer stat

MS NOW: Federal prosecutors are expected to seek to reindict New York AG Letitia James TODAY in Norfolk, VA. Lindsey Halligan will NOT present the information. Now Roger Keller, a federal assistant U.S. attorney normally based in Missouri, is expected to present information before a grand jury.

This is tyranny. The purpose of our republic being established was that such scenes would be vanquished from these lands.

"Republican legislators around the country have identified the biggest obstacles to their unprecedented mid-decade redistricting: the courts and the voters. So they’re responding by launching an all-out war on both." - Billy Corriher www.democracydocket.com/opinion/to-p...

These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.

SCOOP: The United States Tennis Association (USTA) quietly updated its player eligibility policy to ban trans women from competing as women in their leagues, tournaments and competitions in order to comply with Trump's anti-trans sports executive order. The policy went into effect on Monday.

“Elon Musk’s charitable foundation grew larger than ever in 2024. But, for the fourth year in a row, the huge charity failed to give away the minimum amount required by law — and the donations it did make went largely to charities closely tied to Mr. Musk himself.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Pop star Sabrina Carpenter slams the White House for using “Juno” in an ICE arrest video: “This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”

Hegseth must go—resign or be fired. No question that murders or war crimes were committed on his watch. His criminal culpability may be contested, but no question that he’s ultimately accountable. He directed the strikes be lethal & total. The buck stops with him.

Reports say prosecutors in EDVA may be preparing to re-indict James Comey. I’ll discuss with Ana Cabrera on MS NOW at 11 am ET.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety. My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

BREAKING NYT: The Trump admin just fired eight immigration judges in New York City. All the judges were dismissed from the immigration offices at 26 Federal Plaza — a building that houses the NYC headquarters of ICE and has become the epicenter of migrant arrests in the city.

“…the decisions he has made…” Disgraceful

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now. Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers. Shameful.

Leavitt: “The president has made it quite clear that if narco terrorists are trafficking illegal drugs toward the United States he has the authority to kill them” [narrator voice]: He did not, in fact, have lawful authority to kill them…
