Paramount-owned CBS abruptly canceled a story exposing the Trump administration's brutal deportations. The reporter called it a "political decision." Paramount needs Trump’s backing to buy Warner Bros. — including CNN. Is that just a coincidence? This looks like corruption.

These people all go to rich people megachurches so they have no idea how freaky this looks to normal people

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

Staying up late? At midnight ET the first ever music album designed to educate Americans about the biggest scandal in US history—the Trump-Epstein Scandal—hits Spotify (streaming) and YouTube (free). The album will show up here (subscribe to be notified):

Honestly, the best part of this might be that Andrew Tate, notorious toxic alpha male, was beat bloody by someone who came out to Mariah Carey singing about Christmas.

With nearly 169 MILLION addresses nationwide, USPS delivers 44% of the world’s mail — and during the busiest time of the year, letter carriers like Los Angeles Branch 24 member Randy Lovejoy are rising to the occasion and ensuring a joyful holiday season is delivered to all! youtu.be/yKhKMMT9jJw

Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, spent so much money paying private schoolers’ tuition that it faced hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state programs and projects last year. (Published July 2024)

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.

Bruce Hornsby hits #1 today in 1986 with “The Way It Is”. “Just when one thinks we are making progress,” he said, “appalling incidents will occur that shock and sadden anyone who is interested in equality in American life,” he said. “So sadly, the song still retains a bittersweet topical quality.”

George Michael hits #1 today in 1987 with “Faith”. “.. It was very much about having faith in yourself,” he said. “It wasn’t a religious song at all — it was about believing in yourself when everything around you is changing and people are questioning what you’re doing.” #RIP

"Once it has happened, it proceeds with a logic of its own, largely independent of whatever actions a future administration might take." The things Trump can permanently break in today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/3YnDh4r

SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power. In the film, Neeson—a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador—calls the COVID-19 vaccines “dangerous experiments.” www.importantcontext.news/p/liam-neeso...

One can argue Trump understands this as much as anyone—which is why he always makes sure that Infantino has a place at his feet. And yet, their open embrace of each other makes the case against Infantino that much easier. https://bit.ly/4oLq2Fu

1. Paramount's hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery exposes Jared Kushner's game Kushner is not running a private equity fund. He's running an influence peddling operation. It's spelled out on page 42 of Paramount's new SEC filing

Because of a state law, residential property owners in Boston are projected to face a 13% tax spike next year. Meanwhile, corporations will pay their lowest share of property taxes in 43 years. I’m hosting an AMA on Reddit about our plan to protect homeowners and deliver residential tax relief.

What an interesting coincidence.

America’s most basic ability to treat and prevent HIV is in danger. Decades of progress are being derailed by the Trump administration, public health experts say — and without reversing course, the damage will be devastating. Read more in my latest story:

A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."

This is a big win. Sacramento was indiscriminately sifting through people’s electricity usage looking for signs of grow lights in an attempt to find people growing marijuana. Not anymore! Get a warrant, pals!

The Mayflower Compact was signed on this day in 1620, so here we have a bank note with detailed center vignette depicted the Pilgrim landing with a small 1620 in the grass, a Native American behind a tree, and the Mayflower just off shore. The Old Colony Bank, Plymouth, MA, $10, May, 18--. 🗃️

I literally could not stop myself from inappropriately laughing out loud for real

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Swalwell: Kristi Noem and Tom Homan, you should familiarize yourselves with this room. Get to know that witness chair — you’re going to be parked in it for a long time. Accountability is coming.

Bingo. Corporate welfare is the real welfare you should be talking about.

Massachusetts AG Campbell: What you heard from the president and the speaker is total bullshit. Let’s take a step back. Never in the history of this country — during a war or an emergency shutdown — has the federal government ever stopped funding SNAP benefits for our most vulnerable.

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

The MA Senate voted 35-3 to combat the rise of politically motivated book bans. This bill creates clear standards, protects librarians and school employees, enables authors to challenge bans of their work, and establishes important data collection.

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Reporter: Can you respond to these Epstein emails that were released today? Trump: *no answer*

"Police dishonesty, even on the stand and under oath, is so common that it has its own name (“testilying”), and it has forced prosecutor offices to create what are called “Brady Lists” of officers they will not put on the stand out of fear they’ll commit perjury."

The backdrop at the McGovern 1972 "victory" party probably wouldn't be a choice by a political party these days.

"Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much higher consideration." - Lincoln, in his first State of the Union address, on December 3, 1861

Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in economic activity. It’s not about the money, Trump just wants Americans to go hungry.

May I present a former clerk to Justice Gorsuch.
