Trump threatens to sue the fed chair and I can’t find the story in the WSJ or the NYT. The radical has now been completely normalized. FTR, we reported it yesterday on Cnbc. Pres. Trump: Considering bringing lawsuit against Fed Chair Powell for 'gross incompetence' www.cnbc.com/video/2025/1...

Remarkable. US attorney general Pam Bondi tweets out a chart showing deaths from drug overdoses plummeting and giving the president credit. “Elections have consequences,” she says. One problem. The data ends in Oct 2024. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

NEW: Jack Smith's team interviewed Giuliani, and when asked whether Rudy believed his own lies about election fraud, Jack Smith said he did not, and that neither did Donald Trump.

ICE agents are the real criminals. www.kptv.com/2025/12/29/d...

Kinda seems like Trump punishing Colorado for not releasing Tina Peters (who tried to help him steal the election) from prison should be a bigger story

Last month, a state-contracted mail vendor, Capitol Presort Services, failed to send a month’s worth of agency mail. That breakdown resulted in 3.4 million letters never getting sent. 🔗 www.inquirer.com/politics/pen...

The winds in Colorado/Wyoming are insane. @mikezaccardi.bsky.social

FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years. It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.

My generation got to know him as one of three CNN reporters coming live from their Baghdad hotel room during the start of the first Gulf War. It was a new kind of war, carried live on air and he was one of the voices that brought it to us. RIP

Before the 1990s, plane crashes caused by microbursts used to kill planeloads of people fairly regularly. Dr. Ted Fujita and NCAR scientists figured out how to detect microbursts and warn pilots about them. Since then? Zero airliner crashes from microbursts.

Hegseth repeatedly misled the public about this strike. The boat was headed for Suriname, not the U.S. It wasn't carrying fentanyl. The survivors didn't "radio for backup." This strike was illegal, and Hegseth is trying to cover up what happened by refusing to release video.

“.. So far in the back half of 2025, the economy has created 113k jobs. In the full history of payroll data, that is (so far) the weakest semi annual gain we've seen, excluding the rebound periods after recessions.” - Schwab #NFP #A++++

Saying she had “serious concerns” about the safety of the community, a federal judge ordered a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent held without bond on charges he sexually assaulted and robbed at least four prostitutes in Chicago’s suburbs in 2022.

WSJ editorial board thrashes DHS for arresting a Chinese human rights hero, Guan Heng, and says he must be granted asylum.

BREAKING: 11 people were killed at Sydney's Bondi Beach in an attack on the Jewish community, an official says.

There can’t be a more horrific insight into the sickness of the US’s gun crime epidemic than the fact two survivors of Brown University had already survived school shootings. One was shot in the abdomen in 2016, while her best friend died. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

All those private meetings between Witkoff and Putin are really paying off for the Kremlin.

Fun fact: The number of dangerous and violent criminals inside the ranks of ICE appears to significantly exceed the number of dangerous and violent criminals apprehended by ICE.

When companies like Aetna or UnitedHealthcare want to rein in costs, they turn to EviCore, whose business model depends on turning down payments for care recommended by doctors for their patients. (Published Oct. 2024 with @capitolforum.bsky.social)

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: FBI Admits in Court Filing That It Is Aware of Epstein “Client Lists”—Months After the Personal Lawyer for Longtime Epstein Wingman Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, Told America No Such Lists Existed Take from this the obvious conclusion.

News from DeSantisstan: how Ron DeSantis diverted millions in state funds to battle referendum items with which he personally disagreed, in violation of Florida law and ethics standards, and then poured money into the pockets of his cronies and his wife. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

The US and multiple countries have what’s called A DEMOCRACY. America came into existence to escape a king. Why would we want another and one as completely ignorant to the people’s needs as this incompetent idiot? He’s in it for the grift and destruction. To hand us over to his rich oligarchs.

The thing about this executive order is that he doesn't have that authority and states should ignore him

2/ , imagining a conflict reaching every home and every workplace—destruction, mass mobilization, and millions displaced. What’s particularly unsettling to consider is that not only may that happen, but American soldiers may be fighting on the Russian side. #holdfast #steadystate

1/ While Trump seemingly abandons Ukraine and alienates us from our European partners more and more each day, the Secretary General of NATO warns that Russia is on Europe’s doorstep, and they must be prepared for the scale of war their grandparents endured

Oct 2024, 2 weeks before Trump won the election. Biden's economy touted as the strongest economy in the world, with the most resilient recovery from covid. And Trump F'd it all up. Because he's a moron and economically illiterate.

In the European Parliament, the interpreter and some of the audience could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv. On December 10, Roman came to Brussels for a presentation of documentaries about Ukrainian children to tell his story to MEPs

Mairav Zonszein: 30 Ministers and Knesset members say “Gaza is part of Israel” and that true victory is only with the seizing of territory, call on defense minister to allow for a mass event inside destroyed Gaza. The official government push for Israeli annexation of (part of) Gaza has begun.

Rep. Magaziner: “You promised America that you would go after the worst of the worst…You don’t seem to know how to tell the difference between the good guys and the bad guys. Go after the terrorists, do not go after veterans, marines, children, and U.S. citizens.”

The GOP just blocked extending the ACA subsidies - again. Making people’s healthcare skyrocket while you control the White House and both chambers of Congress seems like a great move for the midterms.

The US government is now a mafia organization.

THANEDAR: It is a fact that you ignored federal court orders in March and in May of this year. Do you plan on ignoring federal orders? NOEM: We always comply with all federal court orders THANEDAR: I'm sick of your lies

“The administration must release the OLC opinion(s), the Strike Bridge communications, and videos…Until then, this action stands as an unlawful attack on defenseless persons that violates the letter and spirit of the laws of war and of peacetime law enforcement.” www.justsecurity.org/126802/exper...

I am honestly having some trouble following “the health care industry is a huge powerful malevolent machine ripping off America and we want you to negotiate directly with it for your insulin.”

Michael Weiss: The US has unsealed a California grand jury indictment exposing how Russian GRU hackers targeted critical infrastructure in the US. They hit a regional airport in Missouri, drinking water and water storage facilities in TX, PA and IN, and a meat packing facility in CA

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Yoooooooooooooo

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.”

DENMARK INTELLIGENCE REPORT: “.. The United States uses economic power, including threats of high tariffs, to enforce its will, and no longer rules out the use of military force, even against allies.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/w...

JUST NOW: Trump now openly says he is trying to force CNN into the hands of his allies to stop the network from criticizing him. 🇺🇸 Welcome to authoritarianism. ‘1984’ is here. (Imagine Biden saying this about Fox)

Researchers say they’ve uncovered new evidence in present-day England that could reshape our understanding of human evolution.

Sen. Mark Warner: "It's a little strange that administration officials can release edited versions of videos that they like to brag about but then not show the immediate moments up to and including the second strike that took place on September 2."

JOHN DEERE: "Our US market has been the one under the most pressure . . . based on what’s happened with trade flows, what’s happened with tariffs .." We'll build "half as many tractors this year as we did two years ago." @financialtimes.com $DE www.ft.com/content/523a...

The Trump administration is going to try very hard not to release the complete September 2 video or accompanying documents. They're going to try not to release the complete Epstein files. To which the response should be: No Kings. No Cover-ups.

“She has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours.” Her crime: witnessing ICE, from a distance.

JFC. The weakening of America continues.
