a podcast could take over the entire game simply by choosing to release new episodes during and immediately following the christmas/new years holiday break. That's Peak Podcast time, and the Content Shelves are empty. We're starving out here.

The emperor’s violent conquest of bloodshed and resource pillaging raises many questions about his intent and planfulness. Is there a whitepaper on this? I demand a whitepaper to review.

what's Tulsi Gabbard up to? Didn't see her in the pictures with all the Twitter Boys at mar a lago. What's going on with the director of national intelligence?

so they lied to you, what are you going to do about it?

Gallego is right, and the weak-ass Schumer/Jeffries demands for briefings are inadequate. Sure, ask for a briefing from the crew launching military strikes from a Mar A Lago ballroom while scrolling twitter, whatever. But what is needed is action. Vote to stop the war. Do it this week.

Deputy Chair @repilhan.bsky.social : “Trump’s invasion of Venezuela is blatantly illegal and unconstitutional. He has no authority to deploy U.S. forces into foreign countries to bomb them, capture heads of state, and overthrow governments in regime-change wars.”

my hot take is learning and improving is good, actually, and a critical way to build trust with others.

Pour one out for Dan Bongino

During Trump’s first term, Cuellar voted to check the president’s power to launch military strikes multiple times — but that was before Cuellar was compromised by Trump’s pardon. Democrats who want to win back voters’ trust should kick Corrupt Cuellar out of the party.

Mike Johnson put the bill on the floor you coward

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison. Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.

i'm glad that *doctor* harris is not worried about 20 million people having their healthcare costs jacked up, and the rest of us paying more to make up for uncompensated care. happy for him that he's so at peace.

To members of Congress - the benefit here is first and foremost that your subpoena will actually be enforced in a timely manner. An additional benefit is you don’t look like a feckless rube. If that’s the sort of thing you care about.

precious few of our national level leaders have acted as heroes this year. That has largely been a role foisted upon regular people to bear the burden of being courageous in the face of authoritarianism. Senator Van Hollen saving Kilmar’s life is an exception - a genuine act of heroism.

An yglesias flashback

And he’s right.

HELL YEAH

Looks like some cars that should be impounded, to me.

You have two bids for Warner brothers. Both are illegal. The fact that one deal is extremely illegal doesn’t make the other deal legal

Thanks to the incredible generosity of @courtneymilan.com and lots of donors, we'll be giving away these ICE warning whistles at our next meeting!

Everyone should be operating as if Henry Cuellar has been compromised by Trump. How can you trust this guy ever again? How can you allow him in your caucus meetings? Might as well let Pam Bondi and Jim Jordan sit in. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

protect Hola Arepa and their staff at all costs

I'm still thinking about this exchange. As is often the case, we see Nuzzi acting out the most extreme version of a phenomenon that is actually pretty common in elite media: people taking umbrage at the idea that they're supposed to exercise moral judgment, and can be blamed for not doing so.

Do you support ICE kidnapping our residents here in Minneapolis? All I’ve seen you do is vote for the Laken Riley Act and strip away due process from immigrants. You didn’t stick up for Minnesotans. In fact, your vote is impacting our Somali and immigrant communities heavily.

citing the Supreme Court’s track record of legalizing bribery as a reason to let bribery slide is not a great argument! Someone get Jeffries a copy of @davidsirota.com’s book.

Can’t say enough good things about @aftynbehn.bsky.social, and I’m so deeply grateful she went and did the damn thing for her community and our democracy

mike johnson get ready to learn thermostatic, buddy

the American people deserve to know how many drinks Hegseth had the day he ordered the murder, and if “fog of war” is just his vision after 3pm

Okay y’all, the campaign wants to make a strong first day showing of support from as many donors as possible—even $5 sends a message that this is a movement, and they better get ready! @janeese4dc.bsky.social secure.actblue.com/donate/jlg-d...

We must keep calling out those that cave to the Trump Admin, and the latest is Northwestern. As part of their "deal," NU will pay $75 million, stop vital research, renege on agreements with its students over the war in Gaza, and more. Throwing your students under the bus to please Trump. Shameful.

this is exactly right. True effective political communication must pull back the curtain to explain why you’re asking people to follow you - and that “why” needs to be because you have a plan that you think will work. But you need to actually have that plan and think it will work!

wait this is really what greg bovino's voice sounds like?

This is how we win.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Put another way, the most illiberal Democrat in Congress is not AOC or Bernie Sanders. By any definition of liberalism or illiberalism, it's John Fetterman

No, he isn’t. There is literally no legal means by which he can do this. It’s not presidential power. TPS by law cannot be terminated early, and Somali TPS is not set to expire until March 17, 2026.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

The president of the united states thinks this is good and that these people should act on their vile words. He's pardoned hundreds upon hundreds of people who have done crimes at his urging. He's covering up for sex criminals and rehabilitating war criminals. He, himself, is doing crimes.

dog ate my fascism homework

a very good and important response from @slotkin.senate.gov and company in response to Trump's threats. You absolutely cannot allow a would-be authoritarian to know that the surest way to make his opponents back down is to threaten them with violence. www.slotkin.senate.gov/2025/11/20/j...

St. Paul, MN. ICE abducted someone here yesterday.

Happy #FollowFriday. @bradlander.bsky.social is the real deal. www.huffpost.com/entry/spotif...

there are good and brave people engaging in acts of heroism out of love for their fellow human beings. Be brave enough to allow their courage to inspire you, too. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

HEY LA: Join the protest at Spotify HQ in the LA Arts District at 12p PT. Spotify is doubling down on its decision to help recruit for ICE, so we're turning up the volume on our Cancel Spotify campaign until they stop running ICE ads: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Lest there be any insinuation that Dems spared their own. It would be tough for Kathy Ruemmler—Obama’s WH Counsel from 2011 to mid-2014—to come off looking worse in these docs the committee Dems released. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

They're calling it "the most Sent from my iPad email of all time"

Bye Larry! 👋

From a St Paul Dept of Safety and Inspections email: construction permit for a new $11m CBP building construction permit at 670 Bayfield Street next to the downtown StP airport. Note location right near the runways. "Great" place to deport from! @mollycoleman.bsky.social @melvincarter.bsky.social

Chuck Schumer has not met this moment and Senate Democrats would be wise to move on from his leadership.

"HEY CHUCK! FIGHT DON'T FOLD!" @bkindivisible.bsky.social turning out across the street from @schumer.senate.gov's apartment in brooklyn
