BREAKING on MS NOW: A grand jury just rejected the Trump Justice Department's third attempt to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on allegations she engaged in mortgage fraud, according to two sources familiar with the presentation.

Once again, a discharge petition had to be used to get the bill past Speaker Johnson, out of committee and to the House floor for a vote.

Ossoff: "If you'd asked me 6 months ago, I might've told you that what concerned me was people feeling such despair that they were paralyzed. Now the risk is complacency."

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"

Gallego: "This administration, since they started striking these boats illegally, has been very happy to show their snuff films . Now suddenly they're willing to show the first hit but not the second. Why? ... they're afraid the public is going to see the military killed 2 men that had surrendered."

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

This is happening in too many places to list Everyone with a rational thought process should be ashamed of it There is no excuse other than racist in charge for this happening Please take a stand against these terrifying illegal arrests Peaceful protesting is 1st amendment the Constitution

Good. Some countries still are guided by a moral compass; unlike ours. Honduras Issues Arrest Warrant for Ex-President Pardoned by Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/12/08/w...

The reason we don’t sell H200, and other advanced chips to China is that they have dual-use (military and civilian) capability. These will help China improve their AI, surveillance, and cyber espionage capability. The export controls existed strictly for NatSec purposes.

It’s way past time for every WH reporter to speak out to Trump’s face when he’s insulting female reporters. Is your access so critical that you’ll allow your colleagues to be abused?

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene. A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

Trainwreck? In October 2024, The Economist called Biden's economy "the envy of the world."

It’s important to remember there are two scandals here: 1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes. 2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.

I miss the good old days when most of us had a shared reality.

Police Chief Brian O’Hara has delivered a blunt message to his department: If an officer witnesses ICE agents using illegal force and fails to step in, they will be fired. 👏 👏 👏

When you realize the goal has been to re-establish a society with *absolute* white male supremacy at the expense of EVERYTHING and EVERYONE ELSE (economy, education, healthcare, voting, prices, etc.) - and put billionaires in charge - you understand the goal of #Project2025 and why we're here now.

I agree, but what can we do? Even if we had a functioning Congress, could they do anything? Isn’t this firmly in the executive’s power?

Mike Johnson’s entire worldview is a time machine back to the 1950s and somehow his wife hit the gas pedal. This is what happens when MAGA convinces itself that misogyny is a family value.

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.

Somali American U.S. citizen grabbed & detained by Trump’s ICE goons for 24 hours, “sexually assaulted her and said what could you be hiding under your hijab?”

Is this what we each have to fear happening to us as we drive to work?! Yes, we do, especially if we’re Black or brown. This is Amerikkka!

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

They all lied under oath. If only the Senate would charge them…

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks. They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

This librarian breathed a sigh of temporary relief.

This is despicable! Shame on them!

SCOTUS says if you’re using race-based gerrymandering to help white people silence Black and brown’s people, it’s okay; but if you’re using race-based gerrymandering to ensure a voice for Black and brown people it’s forbidden. White supremacy in black robes.

it should probably be a bigger story that the richest man on earth and leading Republican is a fucking Nazi media needs to stop beating around the bush. this is Nazi shit.

There’s truly something deeply wrong with these people: all of them.

The Admiral was thrown under the bus in seconds. Rules of engagement are sacred, and everyone knows it, which is why the truth about what Pete did leaked. Pete and Trump are no leaders. And they are not judge, jury, or executioner. Those poor fishermen.

True, but it still sucks. Would’ve really liked to see high turnout for Behn.

Full out murdering nazis leading this regime 🤬 MUST MUST MUST READ!

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”

WTAF!

Simply amazing 💙

@amysiskind.com thank you.

Whiskey Pete just double-tapped Admiral Bradley.

BREAKING NYT: The Trump admin just fired eight immigration judges in New York City. All the judges were dismissed from the immigration offices at 26 Federal Plaza — a building that houses the NYC headquarters of ICE and has become the epicenter of migrant arrests in the city.

1) If Hegseth ordered troops to "kill everybody" in that barbaric second strike, he should be arrested. 2) If Admiral Bradley followed what he damn well knew was an illegal order from Hegseth, he should be removed from duty, and court-martialed. 3) If Trump does nothing, he is a war criminal.

there is no legitimate definition of the term "democracy" under which maps like these are "democratic." this level of stovepiping is banana republic shit. this is effectively no different from stuffing a ballot box
