The little orange bars on the right are what Trump is calling “the greatest economy in history.”

Read this. Then read it again.

Another round of weak economic data Almost a year into Trump’s policies, Americans are worse off. You can’t tell families to be patient while bills keep rising. Since “Liberation Day,” job growth is just 17,000 a month and over 700,000 Americans are unemployed than last year. Bad!

This is theft. Of our science. Of our skills. Of our future.

One of my favorite running bits is that Donald Trump over the past decade has repeatedly indicated that he believes stealth aircraft are physically invisible. Absolutely world-class stupidity. You’ve never met someone this stupid. He’d be the stupidest person in any room you’ve ever been in.

The US Administration has banned Americans from *adopting babies* from much of the African continent. Adopting. Babies. What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?

"Cuomo isn't Jewish, Adams isn't Jewish, Trump isn't Jewish. But they all are delighted to weaponize antisemitism, to weaponize Jewish fear, against Muslims especially." Jewish Democratic Congressional candidate Brad Lander. My full interview with him: zeteo.com/p/meet-the-p...

In Boston, we like our protests with a whole lot of history. #teaparty #dumpICE #Dec16

Every major news organization should be writing about how insane this is and how, if he takes this country to war (tomorrow?), it is the act of a madman.

No blood for oil

Anyone going to get clarification on this? The current director of the FBI created a team that is dedicated to reviewing posts on social media and watching podcasts to see if someone says anything bad about his young girlfriend? And then, they decide if someone needs a door knock!? What!?

It is international law 101 that a military blockade is not just a violation of the UN Charter, but a crime of aggression. Unless that blockade is in response to an 'armed attack.' None of President's Trump's list of complaints come close to an armed attack. 1/

A reminder tonight that Venezuela has nothing to do with fentanyl. The vast majority of the fentanyl supply begins as precursor chemicals in China, is manufactured in Mexico, and makes it to the U.S. by land, mostly smuggled by U.S. citizens hiding it within lawful trade and traffic at entry points.

A naval blockade is unquestionably an act of war. A war that the Congress never authorized and the American people do not want.

They should be saying this AND if they want to pollute their space by speaking to admin officials, they should directly ask them about this and not let them get away without answering.

Ohio family: Our insurance premium is set to more than triple in the new year. It's not affordable. Who has an extra $1,500 to just spend? And that's just the premium. It's also a $15,000 deductible. That's more than a mortgage payment. Unfortunately for us, we're choosing to not have health care.

NEW: President Trump is expanding the previous 19-country travel ban to a whopping 39 countries (plus the Palestinian Authority), and appears to expand a block on legal immigration to now include spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens, who were previously exempted.

This is extremely important

"Tariffs are 'national security!'" "The ballroom is 'national security!'" "Suing the BBC is 'national security!'" "Slaughtering Venezuelan fishermen is 'national security!'" "Torturing day laborers is 'national security!'" NONE of this is "national security" but it is Naziism 101.

I am losing my mind DO ANY OF THESE JOURNALISTS KNOW THAT VENEZUELA IS NOT ON THE PACIFIC THAT THE CARIBBEAN SEA DOES NOT TOUCH THE PACIFIC THAT IN FACT THIS IS WHAT THE PANAMA CANAL WAS BUILT FOR WTF IS THE EASTERN PACIFIC PLEASE LOOK AT A MAP

AOC: Donald Trump and Stephen Miller want you to believe that this is who we are as a country. And we are here to say that it is not. We are a country that has fought and defeated the confederacy. That has defeated a history of civil rights violations, of secret police, of fascism.

The administration is entirely post-truth.

This is a pretty standard response from conspiracy theorists. They see themselves as truth seekers and excavators of lies, as opposed to paranoid cranks who live in manufactured realities.

Hilarious. The WH had all the Cabinet members simultaneously put out statements supporting Susie Wiles after the Vanity Fair article came out.

She interviewed with Vanity Fair 11 times and they quoted her extensively from those interviews.

This is a harrowing account of city under siege www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Stephen Miller's cousin unloads on him: “We’re Jewish—we grew up knowing how hated we were just for existing. Now he’s trying to take away the exact thing his own family benefited from: that ability to prosper, to build community, to live a rewarding life.” newrepublic.com/article/2041...

i think the media needs to internalize something that is glaringly obvious but also weird and disorienting in a way the media is completely unequipped to handle: trump is not trying to be popular anymore. he is not doing politics anymore. he does not care. he just wants to rule until the music stops

Susie Wiles is one of the most brilliant political operators in the business, having guided DeSantis and then Trump to significant victories, and the idea that she doesn't know how 'on the record' worked is like saying a pilot doesn't know how to land a plane.

These assholes released a new video of people they murdered just *yesterday*

@alansmitheedga.bsky.social Dude. Either follow me or not. I don’t automatically follow back. You’ve now followed and unfollowed me 20 f’in times. Are you a bot, bc I can’t imagine why you’d follow that many people or have the time to police your follows to make sure they follow you?

If you give multiple interviews to Vanity Fair and don’t know whether or not you are on or off the record - then you are not qualified to be a chief of staff. Speaking as a chief of staff.

Michelle Obama talks to Jimmy Kimmel about Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner. This is from tonight’s episode.

The White House is not private property. It does not belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to the people. I’m introducing legislation to protect the building’s historic character against the president’s bulldozer and Marie Antoinette ballroom.

Please take 7 and a half minutes and watch this.

What a lede: "A heinous act of violence. A faceless killer on the loose. A desperate manhunt. An F.B.I. director with a finger poised over the “post” button on his social media account."

This is a Member of Congress.

The third time in 2 months that the official DHS account has tweeted a Nazi term which means "ethnic cleansing" of all people of color from America and Europe.

I didn't think it was possible for his Rob Reiner post to be the second most repulsive thing he said today. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

"There is no man smaller than a coward at a hero's wake." Irish proverb

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker. This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

This Laura Loomer? I sense a double standard.

I…did not see the closing sentence of this photo caption coming: www.chicagotribune.com/2025/12/15/n...

WATCH: Replica of the Statue of Liberty topples due to strong winds in Guaíba, Brazil

When the government claims it stopped a terrorist attack, a degree of skepticism was always warranted—how far along was the plot before an undercover officer got involved? what would have actually happened?—but not insurmountable skepticism. Now? How could anyone believe what federal officials say.

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

On Dec. 4, DOJ labeled people who impede or "dox" ICE agents "domestic terrorists." I document how DHS believes following, recording, and protesting agents is "impeding," and has a policy of threatening & arresting ICE observers. That's unconstitutional. www.cato.org/blog/dhs-pol...
