Patrick Gaspard: "Donald Trump last night looked at the American people and said, pay no attention to what you're feeling at the gas pump...to what you're paying at the diner and the supermarket...Pay no attention to any of that, because MBS says we're doing really fine."

These are 21 of the more than 30 people who died while in ICE custody in 2025. They died under the watch of state terrorists that kidnap, cage, neglect, abuse, & dispose of human beings. Say their names. #3E #EyesUp #FuckICE

Russ Vought set out to ensure a second Trump term would not be hampered by checks and balances: “I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.” (Published October w/ @newyorker.com)

This is huge. Trump has successfully prosecuted a state official for bucking his racist war on immigrants. If they can get a judge, they can get anyone. Gift article.

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

Trump has added new plaques under his ‘presidential walk of fame’ in the White House. On Obama: “Barack Hussein Obama was the first Black President…One of the most divisive political figures in American history.” On Biden: “Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History...”

On this day in 1843 A Christmas Carol by Dickens, published for first time. “I will honor Christmas in my heart, & try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.”

Congress continues to appropriate funds for specific purposes after it is passed by both chambers, and King Donald continues to seize the money to redirect it where he wants it to go instead.

Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

Special Counsel Jack Smith destroyed Republican witch hunters' trap by confirming his team "developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt" Trump criminally conspired to overturn the 2020 election during a Thursday hearing led by Gym Jordan. Democrats graciously revealed quotes from Smith's testimony.

Among the nominees just confirmed is Leo Brent Bozell III, a far-right activist and critic of the fight to end apartheid, who Collins just approved to be the United States AMBASSADOR TO SOUTH AFRICA. Vile and irredeemable. tinyurl.com/5fwv4dzc #MEpolitics

Oh. TikTok is being sold to a UAE corporation? Well, it's a good thing our kids won't be subjected to propaganda from China, right? Because when I think information safety, I think Dubai.

Democratic leaders should now be saying: when we retake power we are kicking Andreesen, Ellison, and UAE out of control of TikTok.

First, The Handmaids Tale‼️ Now, The Hunger Games‼️

In case laws still matter…

The MAGA faithful are steering the US towards a "nihilistic" tone after accepting Donald Trump's recent statements, a Nobel Prize winner has warned.

There’s too much too muching.

Duh... l.smartnews.com/p-6NGBTOTK/c...

“Can we please put this man in a home before he destroys the one he’s in?”

In case anyone is still thinking that this administration still has our best interests in mind.

Best Twitter riposte of the day

Why should anyone believe that Pam Bondi will lead a fair review of the Warner Bros. merger when her ex-lobbying firm was hired by both Netflix and Paramount? The merger review process under Donald Trump is already a hotbed of corruption. AG Bondi must recuse herself now.

Moskowitz: Speaker Johnson seems to have memory problems: I haven’t seen that. I haven’t heard about it. You’re telling me this for the first time. He just can’t get away from trying to defend the president without making it look like he has absolutely no idea what’s going on at any point in time…

Trump's end-of-year address to the nation meandered across a few of his favorite topics, but viewers were left searching for any real point to the whole thing.

Here is my recap of Trump district court nominee Justin Olson's Senate confirmation hearing, during which Olson spent a lot more time than I'd hoped sharing his thoughts on biblical eunuchs, the evils of fornication, and whether it's appropriate for disabled people to get married

This CBC article reads like a tourism brochure for the US travel industry. Not one mention of the boycott. The article says that if you travel to Montana you can buy one beer and get one free. Frick...I value our sovereignty to a higher value than a free bottle of Coors. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Every GOP and 16 of 47 Democratic Senators voted to install Jared Isaacman, the billionaire acolyte of neo-Nazi soon-to-be-trillionaire Elon Musk, as NASA Administrator, knowing he plans to dismantle and privatize NASA, in particular its earth science mission. (2 GOP and Coons were absent)

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Peter Arnett, who traveled the world covering wars from Vietnam to Iraq, has died.

Trump: Whine whine blame blame blame blame it’s always everyone else’s fault. Why even cover this

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.” As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

God bless @velshi.com and @mollyjongfast.bsky.social for trying to fact check this in real time, while laughing. It’s a heroic effort.

Prayers for the fact checkers tonight! 🙏🙏🙏

This is the craziest off the rails demented grandpa speech I’ve seen him do in a long time.

A Dem senator pressed Trump's FCC Chair, Brendan Carr, on the agency's independence at a hearing today, noting it says "independent" right on the FCC website.
