All those years of Republicans praising capitalism going down the drain. How sad.

Everything Trump touches is transactional.

‘Trump’s Pentagon wants reporters to be not just docile recipients of the administration’s preferred narratives but active propagandists. That is a direct attack on the free press. It is also an insidious danger.’ This is a must-read from @dfriedman.bsky.social @motherjones.com

This is lovely: on normal lives and deaths, T.S. Eliot, the St. Louis accent. Take a moment to walk through the cemetery.

Remember the Torture Memos? The Boat Strike Memos May Be Worse. The Trump administration needs to release the legal analysis underpinning its controversial military campaign.

Ossoff: "She got her new insurance quote & it's $700 more per month than what she's paying now. She's diabetic. She had surgery a few months ago for something else. She told me she cried again bc she realized she's gonna have to cancel her insurance. She believes she might die bc of a policy choice"

Brown: Autocrats don’t fear the disease or the babies dying from whooping cough — they fear the evidence of it, because evidence exposes their failures, demands accountability, and empowers the public.

Release the J/6 files! And while you're at it...stop redacting Trump's name from the Epstein files and release them now!

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

There is no question about it: Alito, Thomas, Roberts, and the three Trump Supreme Court appointees are all GOP partisan hacks. Pass term limits. Expand the court. Enact an enforceable code of ethics. We must keep pushing Democrats to enact court reform.

Trump’s Attack on Somali Americans Is Vile Fascism He’s testing our country’s tolerance for ethnic persecution. And we’re failing the test.

Shocking! Who saw this coming? At least he went public with it.

The FDA has granted approval to a new gene therapy for a rare immune disorder, the maker of which is notably not a drug company, but an Italian charity. www.statnews.com/2025/12/10/n...

Every few years, the GOP majority pushes us closer and closer to a system of election by oligarchs.

JUST IN: New reporting that the Dept. of Defense tried to send vessel strike survivors to El Salvador terror prison, CECOT. I've got all of the damning details, including analysis on why Hegseth is so desperate to silence any survivors or keep them away from US soil. youtu.be/rbrpjxHLFlY?...

I don't know whether this is accurate or not but hopefully it is. Makes my day! youtube.com/shorts/_urLa...

An important opinion piece, because it lays out the facts. www.mediaite.com/opinion/trum...

Well, at least he got to starve hundreds of thousands of children

Whether or not this case takes us another mile toward an oligarchic free-for-all, we’re already in the bad place.

It’s like the shit that passes for mainstream media has never heard of graft or corruption

TRUMP: THE DRUG TRAFFICKER’S FRIEND Why is he blowing up boats with low-level drug runners, and letting the kingpins go free? Despite his anti-drug rhetoric, Donald Trump has issued more pardons to drug dealers than any president in history. 1/2

Trump isn’t personally loyal or ideological; takes $Bns from Putin thru his crypto co—Witkoff’s son is CEO—Both fams rolling in bribecoin $. But Thiel, Sacks, Musk, Botha, et al have both A) ideological + B) HUGE financial incentives in weakening US & Europe—and in doing business with Russia, China

BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight. Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall. This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.

Trump’s reign and the post-truth times we live in have turned many Americans so far from American values that many anti-Trump Europeans currently hold values closer to American values than they do. Trumpism is as anti-American and traitorous as it gets

UPDATE: Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chair Sen. Blumenthal releases "Unchecked Authority" report with firsthand accounts from 22 US citizens "who were physically assaulted, pepper sprayed, denied medical treatment, and detained—sometimes for days—by federal immigration agents"

Lying POS. 🤡🤡 Boasting of his accomplishments, Trump said the price of beef, something he has focused on, was coming down. According to the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, however, the price of beef is continuing to rise. The NYT

Republicans had 15+ years to come up with a decent healthcare plan. It’s not coming. Don’t believe them.

📌"The list of terrible things these morally busted people have endorsed by helping elect this garbage can of a man, is longer than a summer day in Alaska, but might not be limitless. There are signs, that in addition to losing Independents, Trump is starting to lose his MAGA base ..." -my latest

After a backroom meeting with Donald Trump and a donation to the Trump ballroom, NVIDIA got a deal to sell the most advanced AI chip it has ever sold to China. The NVIDIA CEO should testify under oath in Congress.

“Standing up for the values of justice, equity, and our shared humanity has never been more important. And…Ben & Jerry’s has been silenced, sidelined for fear of upsetting those in power.”

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.
