Why is the Trump administration deliberately trashing the United States? Is this some World Economic Forum nonsense?

A winter tradition in Poland ✨ Shchedryk, the Ukrainian original of Carol of the Bells, sung by the Słowianki folk ensemble. ⚜️🎄⚜️

The numbers are in. More people watched the bootlegged 60 Minutes CECOT segment than watched Trump’s Kennedy Center Honors on CBS.

I know one of you has to have a billionaire’s phone number, $1m to save one of the best fossil collections in the country is a bargain. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/s...

As a recovering catholic, I can say that this is easily the coolest fucking priest I’ve ever seen.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head. That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

tRump did such a bang-up job with his favorite word, “Tariffs”, that he caused Canadian retailers to pull American spirits from their shelves. Consequently, Jim Beam plans to pause production at its main distillery in Kentucky. #FAFO #Pinks #ProudBlue www.cbsnews.com/news/jim-bea...

Frost: If you want to protect children, why don't you ban assault weapons instead of health care?

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

I interviewed Rob Reiner as one of the bonuses for the @criterion.bsky.social BluRay of SPINAL TAP. We talked for an hour about the movie and his career and then they shut off the cameras and we talked about movies for another hour. A delightful, unhurried genius.

Lawless, criminal behavior

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

Mpls Mayor Jacob Frey: "What we are seeing again & again is discrimination only to the extent that it applies to certain groups. So they're discriminating only as it applies to Latinos and Somalis ... you can't do that. You can't do that in Minneapolis. You can't do there anywhere in this country."

“We are targeting Venezuela because of DRUGS, not OIL, which is why we are blowing up boats without any drugs and stealing a tanker full of oil.”

PIERS: “You’re not gay?” FUENTES: “No. But women are very difficult to be around.” P: “Should they vote?” F: “No.” PIERS: “They should stay home?” FUENTES: “Yeah.” PIERS: “So you’re just a misogynistic dinosaur. Have you ever had sex?” FUENTES: “No.” PIERS: “Wow. Says the guy who never got laid.”

It's been over two weeks now and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

🎯

The DOJ is hemorrhaging staff, morale and commitment, as experienced prosecutors are sacked and replaced by unqualified political sycophants. Trump's Gangster State endangers public safety and national security.

Himes: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service ... any American who sees the video that I saw will see the US military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

HAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"ICE is arresting the worst of the worst." Everything this administration tells us is a lie.

En bucle😍😍😍

@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”

In response to Trump's "Thanksgiving" message, for Giving Tuesday I'm donating my entire annual veterans disability compensation to the people this administration is putting in harm’s way. www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-person...

Newly released internal FBI emails about the Epstein Redaction Project confirm redaction tracking spreadsheets and training videos exist. Watch! www.youtube.com/live/hM52u3X...

So, to recap: Washington Post story breaks on Hegseth. Pentagon says fake news. White House confirms the story roughly 12 hours later - and defends it. Press Sec confirms that Hegseth personally ordered the execution of the two stranded men. This isn’t going well.

Trump: we’re going to keep America safe. We’re keeping the drugs out! Also Trump: pardons a guy convicted of trying to bring *hundreds of tons* of cocaine into the US.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

she will lie or refuse to answer, as she believes she will not be held accountable for her unlawful actions

This is a really big story that should not be missed. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

New rule: if you’re a Supreme Court Justice and you’re mentioned in the Epstein files, you have to recuse from any future lawsuit about the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

🚨Putin attacked Britain ☢️ 🚨Putin backed Brexit 🇷🇺 🚨Putin infiltrated our parties 🇷🇺 🇬🇧 Only one party will launch a full investigation into Russian interference and rid this country of this threat. Vote Rejoin. End the Russian Menace. #VoteRejoin #ExitBrexit

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals. The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry. Where is the MAHA outcry?

“.. This is X in 2025: Potentially fake accounts crying at other potentially fake accounts that they aren’t real, all while refusing to acknowledge that they themselves aren’t who they say they are — a Russian nesting doll of bullshit.” @cwarzel.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Things online are often not as they appear.

Quiet part, meet out loud.

Alaska vowed to resolve the murders of Indigenous people. But when one nonprofit asked state law enforcement officials for a fundamental piece of data — a list of Indigenous murders they’d investigated — the state said no. With @adn.com

Maybe putting a dozen narcissistic poser Fox hosts in charge of sprawling federal agencies with millions of combined employees and vastly important responsibilities with enormous power wasn’t the greatest plan.

Pardon my French, but this shit really pisses me off.

If MTG truly believes that she can run for president, she would do well to read the Epstein client list into the congressional record, then move to vacate the Speaker’s chair. Might as well go out with a bang.

Who remembers those early Palantir trades

Crockett on MTG resigning: "Honestly, I was like, you got to be kidding. You're on the other side of the president for one week and you can't take the heat? Imagine what it is to sit in my shoes."
