I agree with this. Trumpago delenda est. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-rena...

this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (where deadlines are defined by postmark)

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

He says while standing next to Zelenskyy.

This is fantastic reporting on terrible events.

Context you rarely hear: global stocks are up about 30% over the past year. U.S. stocks? Around 18%. That means American investors underperformed the world by about 12 percentage points, even while headlines called it a “fantastic year.”

This: In the same week that Vance expressed concern that France and the United Kingdom had nuclear weapons, he said Denmark was not a very good ally to the US. It is shameful. bsky.app/profile/thom...

The people who profited most from the cancel culture/free speech panic were less interested in actual freedom of speech than establishing their own control over public discourse. You don't even have to take my word for it. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington

saw this on unsplash and staring bug-eyed what the hell is going on here

The boy was wiped after a busy Christmas Day. #christmascats

Merrrry Christmas!!!

Elwood: "I gotta quit... I'm gonna become a priest."

I wrote a little thing about "Fairytale of New York" and about hope for a better year, but mostly I wanted to share the rendition of the song played at Shane MacGowan's funeral in 2023 because it's so beautiful. Happy Christmas, I love ya baby. dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

New: We obtained thousands of internal chat messages from the ICE team creating viral videos of raids and "EPIC takedowns." A scramble to satisfy the White House and "feed the beast" spawned a new "propaganda" machine, current and former officials told us. "It's a war!" wapo.st/4s6YnC5

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

Aileen Cannon is the Roland Freisler of the American judiciary, so Pam Bondi has decided that every problematic or political case will be brought in her court so as to insure the desired result. It's a familiar pattern—for a totalitarian state. theatln.tc/7aRHITeX

Khanna: You’ve got the DOJ releasing the names of survivors—which they are not allowed to do by law—but not releasing the FBI interview files with those same survivors. Those FBI interviews contain the names of other men: Wall Street tycoons and politicians…

DRUNK CHRISTMAS SONGS, starting with the GOAT

Julie has been covering this longer than most. The DOJ is not following the law. #TrumpEpsteinCoverUp

The answer to the headline question is “Because they were criminals with no legal authority to break things who had no idea what the hell they were doing, & also they need to go to jail for a long time for their illegal & unconstitutional crimes”

Shots fired. And there goes MAGA’s latest talking point.

This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment. It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

"effectively unprecedented"

Didn’t take long for Weiss to destroy the credibility of CBS News.

Almost a year into this presidency, Trump voters have gotten nothing except the Big Beautiful Bill, which was usual Republican politics of giving tax cuts to the rich and slashing social spending for the poor. Housing remains unaffordable, cost of living is rising, and manufacturing jobs fell.

Who’s going to stop him? Trump breaks the law at will and lays no price for it. Of course he’s going to keep doing it. He knows the GOP Congress is completely subservient to him and the far right wing Supreme Court has only helped him gain more and more power.

Oil and gas production increased by record amounts under Biden, even though the US was already the world's biggest producer when he took office. So what does "move to the center on domestic oil and gas production" even mean? Stop supporting clean energy entirely? Forego all climate policy? What?

Woman comes to US at age 6. Graduates nursing school. Work permit. No criminal record. Snatched and imprisoned by ICE for 6 months now. About to be forced back to Honduras. A life destroyed and one less nurse. Merry Christmas. www.nola.com/news/educati...

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

Yes, but it’s not a “nuclear option.” It’s the most basic, obvious, conventional option available if you want to actually do something effective. The fact that they’re not immediately promising it en masse tells us something, and that something is not good.

Just a reminder: White supremacy is the reigning ideology of the American executive branch.

Do you remember when the broadcast networks declined to air primetime speeches by Obama and Biden they deemed too overtly political? Because I do apnews.com/20ccd7a90e43... www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/0...

A 21 percent dismissal rate in the past two months. That's unheard of. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

there is really no difference between the current administration and having the country run by david duke

The destruction of scientific research in America continues. I expect top scientists will look elsewhere going forward, and why shouldn’t they?

J*F*C This is *exactly* the sort of thing I've been screaming about for decades: anti-science lofted to the level of a government-funded colossal waste of money, as well as more eroding of public confidence in science. RFK Jr. is an immense danger to this country.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

one of the worst days of the crumbling Trump presidency: loses In indiana, loses in Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, loses in Tish James grand jury, loses in House vote to override union busting EO, and FBI embarrassed in inability to answer basic questions about ANTIFA (which is not an organization)

Imagine your precious child, a high schooler, goes out to walk the dog & never comes back. The reason: he gets abducted by #ICE who just release the dog. Neighbors rescue the dog & return it with the news of #ICELawless. Your son's detained for months in brutal conditions. youtu.be/NumOmTjZHoY?...

Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

wtf?

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…

WOW; a DEEPLY corrupt move by the immigration courts; clear collaboration with Trump admin officials to produce a specific result with zero notice to the party and ALSO in a situation where the judge facially lacks jurisdiction; the judge had denied a motion to reopen and the case is on appeal.

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground. Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse. Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

The titular wokeness being rolled back is the Civil Rights Act of 1964

The EPA has removed references about humans causing climate change from its website. No US government website can be trusted for science information.

Take that, murder hornets! www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/s...
