Another round of Sunday shows today where a string of Republican senators and representatives claimed to have no knowledge or awareness of any of the worst things Trump said or did this week.

"As masked agents dragged the woman from her car, wrestled her to the ground and forced handcuffs on her, she yelled, 'I’m a US citizen. Please help me! This is unfair. Why are you doing this to me?' She was wearing scrubs and appeared to be on her way to work." www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

It's largely lost today because we've allowed constitutional law to become the exclusive preserve of lawyers, but the original idea of written constitutionalism was partly one of public education, publicity, & (proto-)democracy—people should be able to read & come to know the law which binds them

this is a fundamental principle of self-governance, in the end. the constitution is not in heaven. the constitution is not hidden away in some vault somewhere and tended to by nine priests in black robes. the constitution is in all of us, or it is nowhere.

Italy will donate large number of power generators to Ukraine to help the country manage power outages. The generators, manufactured by Italian companies, are expected to arrive in the coming weeks. In a phone call with Zelenskyy Meloni reaffirmed Italy's unwavering support.

Gutting Medicaid and SNAP pretending it's “fiscal responsibility.” New report says those cuts could mean a million lost jobs and a $113 billion drop in state GDP next year alone. Entire towns are staring down collapse. #Medicaid #SNAP #SafetyNetDown

Mark Kelly: "They are not silencing me. I'm still speaking out. I still am going to do my job every single day regardless of whether this president wants to kill me, hang me, execute me, or shut me up. I'm not gonna shut up."

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: This week alone, Russia launched over 1,600 attack drones, around 1,200 guided aerial bombs, and nearly 70 missiles of various types against Ukraine.

If the Fourteenth Amendment isn’t real then Section 3 isn’t real either and the justices are suddenly just people in funny clothes.

"I have never seen the line this long at this food bank, This is 4x the size of every previous year...the line wraps around the building a second time..Everyone is freezing and an older lady in line had to be taken inside because she looked like she was about to pass out from being too cold..."

Trump’s Justice Department is hellbent on accessing our private voter info—Social Security numbers, party affiliation, driver's licenses—resulting in what experts warn would be a gold mine for hackers. “It's a hacker's dream to have all of this private, sensitive information collected somewhere.”

Every right-wing oligarch, podcaster, hack, Russian apologist, paid influencer, and bot has been activated in a coordinated manner to attack Europe after the EU fined Musk.

There are only three more days until Miami’s run-off election. If you haven’t already cast your ballot, now’s the time to vote for Eileen Higgins in the mayoral run-off! I was proud to stand with her yesterday and help get out the vote.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

They are too good at this

If Virginia Democrats follow through with a new 10-1 congressional map and a couple of other Dem states make small changes, Trump's gambit to rig the 2026 maps will be remembered as an epic blunder.

I am ratcheting down my social media, but let me just say that all European leaders except on the far Right should note that the U.S. now seeks regime change in their country; basically seeks to depose them. US strategy is to support the political forces that threaten liberal democracy in Europe.

Six decades of insufficiently taxing the wealthiest Americans has become a threat to democracy worldwide.

I wish this were an exaggeration of the new US National Security Strategy. It isn’t. The NSS makes clear: The US sees as its partner not the people who actually govern Europe, but the factions there aligned with the global far-Right. ‘Sovereignty’, excepting the US, is goodspeak for satrapy.

Look at @cnbc.com pretend the federal government still executes its regulatory duties in any genuine way. The GOP has replaced federal regulation with bribery and extortion. www.cnbc.com/2025/12/05/n...

This is a time when those ballroom donations and many other personal benefits given to Trump really come in handy for the Ellisons.

SCOTUS is allowing Texas to redistrict early. Remember that California responded by passing Prop 50 last month. Other states must also counteract Trump's attempt to steal the 2026 midterms. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.

The White House surrenders at 138 million views. Sabrina wins.

Principle? It’s in the constitution. Want to change it - amend the constitution.

@npr it’s not a principle. It is a constitutional guarantee.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake? TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

The White House's defense of Gentile's pardon is almost directly copy pasted from statements by Gentile's lawyer in 2024. That lawyer is Matthew Menchel, the Florida prosecutor who led Epstein's sweetheart deal in 2007 and later seen on a ski trip, having dinner with Epstein in estate docs.
