The USA really doesn't want any friends..

Minnesota just launched our statewide paid leave program. Starting today new parents, small business owners, and people recovering from illness or injury will have the security to take needed time off work without risking their paycheck.

Lies, distractions, fake drama, staged assassination attempts, corporate overlords, and oligarchs. Let’s start the process of leaving it all behind in 2026! #Midterms #voteblue

He was supposed to serve 10 years and pay $36 million in restitution for defrauding investors. Never served a day. Not Somali.

If Trump had been U.S. president in 1939.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) finalized a rule on postmarks to reflect changes in its mail pickup processes that could cause an uptick in blown deadlines for documents sent by post, including mail-in ballots. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is morbid and bizarre. They set up a replica of the tent where Charlie Kirk was killed and sell merchandise from it. What’s next, $50 for a ride in JFK’s convertible?

On December 28, 2025, at a Home Depot in Harlingen, Texas, an ICE goon crashed into a car, pulled the father out, and beat him in front of his children.

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…” Read that again.

Peter Thiel says he’ll leave California if they pass a 1% wealth tax on billionaires for five years. So… how much would it take to make him leave the U.S.?

Stand against authoritarianism. Speak truth to power. Always.

The tiny nation of Palau, where two seasons of Survivor were filmed, has agreed to take 75 migrants for $7.5 million. They have not been charged with crimes and will be put to work filling labor shortages. Now you really are on Survivor. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Truth is, if Epstein was still alive, he'd now be out of jail and sitting on the Kennedy Centre board.

BREAKING: FCC Commissioner is hiring a CBS "bias monitor" who will report directly to the President. This is how state-run media begins.⁠

Interesting things happen in those Trump emails to supporters

New releases. Deep cuts. Career-defining songs. I help turn them into stories people want to share. [email protected]

The Redaction This Country Yearns For Most:

Nothing says MAGA quite like bombing Nigeria on Christmas Day, the holiday fascist republicans pretend to worship, and pretending to attack the same ISIS they claimed to have eradicated whilst also pretending they are against starting wars. Can’t make this shit up.

Remember when the convicted felon Donald Trump defended neo-Nazis chanting, “Jews will not replace us”, killing one woman and injuring several others in Charlottesville, he called them “very fine people” …👀

Happy Resistance! ✊

Well done to jazz musician Chuck Redd who canceled the huge Christmas Eve concert he has hosted at the Kennedy Center for 20 years in protest of the orange felon illegally/corruptly adding his disgusting name with President Kennedy. Love this. 💙👊

Hey, Donald, you killed it! No, I mean you really KILLED it. 32% decline in viewership from 2024.

Found the CBS feedback form. Left a message about Bari www.cbs.com/showfeedback...

Even after Kirk and two attempts on himself, Trump is still inciting violence. This is illegal.

The Christmas Eve jazz concert at the Kennedy Center has been canceled. The show’s host, musician Chuck Redd, said, “When I saw the name change on the Kennedy Center website and later on the building, I chose to cancel our concert.”

The “60 Minutes” we have known is dead. The fearless program that many of us grew up with was strangled by corporate titans seeking favor with the Trump White House. I don’t know what is next for the storied franchise, but it will never be the same. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/60-m...

Canada has affirmed its commitment to the people of Greenland. We are opening a consulate there in the spring. Canada is stepping up with Europe as the United States descends into rogue state threats.

NEW: A federal agent has fired shots in Baltimore, and two people have been taken to the hospital. www.thebanner.com/community/lo...

President Donald Trump announced a new class of battleships to build out what he has dubbed the Navy's "Golden Fleet" that he says will be "the fastest, the biggest, and by far -- 100 times -- more powerful than any battleship ever built."

Rachel Maddow had a great opening to her show last night. She showed in Bulguria massive protests lead to it's government to resign. That's is what needs to happen here. Yes, we had 15 million people show up for the second No Kings. But, we need numbers like 100 million+. youtu.be/aqm07OUwbgY?...

CBS pulled the 60 Minutes CECOT segment, but Canada aired it anyway. The segment was streaming via Global TV and YouTube (since taken down). Having a VPN set to Canada helped. 🇨🇦 My take, there is no reason we shouldn’t see this. Most of it was known information, easily searchable. 1/5

need Global TV to re-upload the Epstein Files that just got pulled
