More MAGA evil: “…employees may request to opt out of providing “any aspect of clinical care based on their sincerely held moral and religious beliefs…” which could leave the door open for more discriminatory lawmaking in health care access.” Via @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The top is after Trump’s DOJ redactions below is without, I can almost figure out who they are protecting

“It’s a massive task that requires an army of purgers…how many people can they deploy who are loyal enough to do the purging job and do it effectively? The answer seems to be, not enough. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/a-min... @talkingpointsmemo.com

NFL broadcasts basically only work because TV has been a unionized business for a long time so naturally Netflix and Amazon look like children comparatively

The Netflix and Amazon broadcasts are a great reminder that live sports is a deeply, deeply difficult type of TV that requires huge crews of profoundly skilled and experienced people who have worked together for a long time to look natural

This is what's known as "consciousness of guilt"

Public death threats. For anyone else, it would be immediate removal from office. For him, it’s a Wednesday.

He's vile.

This is literally a holiday-themed missile strike. It is as insane as it sounds and should be front-page news.

The President of the United States is very seriously mentally ill, and elected Republicans are so afraid of him that they won’t do or say anything about it.

This is profoundly un-American. No—that's not right. It's *anti*-American. It's hatred of the United States and its founding documents and all its people and all its traditions. The person who wrote and approved this is a weirdo who detests everything that America stands for.

Here is a fatuous Shitler epistle, abounding in nonsense, lies and subterfuge.

A big thank you to Shaw-nae for warmly welcoming us, sharing her history and her home. As she often says, Staten Island truly is the borough of many memories.

Bombing on Christmas. Yeah that tracks for the dude who gave himself a madeup Fifa Peace Prize.

From our family to yours, merry Christmas! We hope your day is filled with good people and good food.

My 14yo son and I have really bonded over music. This summer, I took him to his first concert -- Black Keys at the Stone Pony -- and he had a blast. He just unwrapped his big present for Christmas, tickets for us to go see his favorite band AC/DC in concert, and just immediately burst into tears.

I’m going to need to see the declination memos from DoJ where they declined to prosecute the Epstein co-conspirators, and I’m gonna need to see them for every single person they declined to prosecute.

Something tells me these may be some of the things they'll try the hardest to hide.

The Onion never misses

Newly discovered recordings show how far Donald Trump went to attempt overturning the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia. Trump told the Speaker he could call the session “for transparency, and to uncover fraud,” adding, “Who’s gonna stop you for that?” trib.al/Yk7Lyb5

Background source

“Who’s gonna stop you for that” is Trump’s key political insight

You guys caught this too, right? “Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” ███████ noted some girl with a funny name “took me into a fancy hotel or building, that’s how it happened.” Also this: she was advised to call the police. But she replied, “I can’t, they will kill me.” 1/2

The ACA tax credits that help millions of Americans afford health care are going to expire at the end of the month. Every House Democrat has signed the petition to extend the credits for 3 more years – but not a single Republican. Do👏 something👏 to save👏 health care👏

Leadership isn't a gala with billionaires at Mar-a-Lago; it’s a surprise visit to a children’s hospital. Remember which one actually served the people.

"You sound beautiful and cute," said Jeffrey Epstein's best friend to the 3rd grader

This Christmas the real Scrooges are corporations that raked in record profits this year and paid their CEOs millions of dollars but still deny workers a living wage and benefits.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

Two very different Christmas messages

With his first assist tonight, Kevin Durant reached 5,000 career assists... He's now the 3rd-fastest player in NBA history to reach 30K+ PTS, 5K+ REB, and 5K+ AST 👀 Michael Jordan (960 games) LeBron James (1,107 games) Kevin Durant (1,147 games)

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

How do you just “uncover” over a million Epstein documents out of nowhere like they were misplaced in a desk drawer? You don’t, and when accountability gets slow-walked like this, it usually means the same powerful people involved have enough power to force the DOJ to delay it.

I worked for DOJ. I don't think people realize how dangerous it is for the White House to takeover the daily operations of the Justice Department.

Tesla doesn't recongise Trade Unions. Apple doesn't recognise unions. Amazon is anti-union. McDonald's is anti-union. Starbucks is anti-union. Google is anti-union. Walmart is anti-union. The big corporations are not on your side.

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.”

Bari Weiss lied in her memo. She said segment didn't report administration's legal justification (it does in the very first sentence) and didn't say how many detainees had been charged with crimes as opposed to just those who were convicted (it does). www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Most New Yorkers can’t afford childcare.

The overwhelming majority of jobs at the two biggest companies in America pay less than $20/hr. Meanwhile, the heads of those companies are some of the richest people on the planet. See the problem?
