A 17-year-old worker died at a pork producer in Nebraska run by the governor’s family. Two investigations later, the boy’s mother is still searching for answers. trib.al/z7ZUF62

The DOJ is now online commenting on posts, claiming information they released in the Epstein files is fake and shouldn’t be trusted. The desperation is obvious.

@tvdean.bsky.social You might like those on too. Appears to be another hockey show. youtu.be/iHYuC7mFaUw?...

these photos will do to a generation what that one GQ photoshoot of Chris Evans did to my generation

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

oh that reminds me, the Espionage Act is a ticking time bomb that gives would-be authoritarians a potential tool to prosecute newspapers and sources they don't like ... see, e.g., scholarship.law.unc.edu/falr/vol19/i...

I’m now halfway through Game Changer.

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

To save you all the time of googling: yes, of course this guy is hopelessly unqualified, he's some Kristi Noem flunky with no experience particular to cybersecurity. He's a business IT guy whose first job at all relevant was appointment by Noem to be South Dakota's chief tech officer in August 2024.

Part of fascism, and maybe just authoritarianism in general, is just having these losers around everywhere just gumming up the works so no one with talent or distinction or courage--dangerous people under such a regime-+can break through. Weiss has whatever the opposite of all those qualities is.

As with many fascist functionaries, Weiss also doesn't know what she's doing. She doesn't know anything about TV news or even reporting. The right wing demands to be put in charge but they don't do homework. They're the emperor telling Mozart the symphony was good but had too many notes.

For Jesus’ birthday this year, he’s asking for affordable housing, universal healthcare, and for people to stop using his name to explain why they’re being cruel to strangers.

For decades America was 1. Anti-intellectual 2. Resented experts 3. Led to think the consumer was always right 4. Urged to view truth & reality like an American Idol contest of preference that voters could call in on in. 5. Never told that they were wrong by leaders & authorities 🧵

The media never talks about educating the American voter. Only that politicians should cater to their delusions. But Democracy can't survive if the voter demands the lying politician always wins their vote because the honest politician tells them an uncomfortable truth. 🧵

U.S. Democracy fails when we convince ourselves that voters are always right & should be told what they want to hear to earn their vote. Actually, a healthy democracy MUST contradict voters. Leaders MUST tell ignorant voters what they NEED to hear when they don't know how the world works. 🧵

They need to check her credentials,+ many of those working in Trump's orbit- She + Charlie Kirk's widow were in one of Trump's 2012 "beauty pageants"(cover for luring girls+women to be " models/escorts...fancy word for PROSTITUTES! Trump had the RU.🇷🇺 Criminals "CRIMING" at his Casinos+ properties

I agree, there’s stuff coming out about her and Erika, thankfully Candace Owens has decided to expose Erika’s affair with a married man before Charlie! 🥴🥴

He lied about being a hillbilly.

DOJ has deleted (not just redacted) but deleted at least 16 pages of the Epstein Files mentioning Trump. We've entered a new level of coverup and corruption to protect PDFiles. We must impeach Pam Bondi ASAP. Rep Khanna & Rep Massie are moving forward to do so: www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-trump-...

America is not now, and never has been, a Christian nation. In fact, it was *explicitly* designed *not* to be. Most of us learned this in junior high—at the latest. But Vance is a white nationalist who’ll say or do anything to get even a *shred* more power, so this perversion of our history fits.

I don't care what anyone says. I don't care about the lies. No woman on Earth is attracted to JD Vance

"The Epstein files implicate billionaires and political donors that they're trying to protect. Epstein also had close ties to our intelligence agencies and Israel's intelligence agencies." Thomas Massie on why they're withholding and redacting most of the Epstein files.

Former NSA employee (16 years) with a pro tip for you. Released controlled document on the left, Epstein on the right. See the difference? In real redactions, some words, headers, and bits will almost always still be visible, but especially classification headers. These documents are UNCLASSIFIED

Doesn’t feel good that the head of BBC News Content is instructing reporters to refer to trans people with slurs. If this leak is real it raises questions about who made this decision, who was consulted, and why the BBC chose to ignore its own editorial guidelines on slurs and offensive language

"Efficiency!"

The epitome of misleading bullsh*t from the WH deputy press secretary. 👇 Getty Images link to a 2003 pic of the same event. www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-...

Did Trump’s DOJ really think dropping hundreds of blacked-out pages counted as complying with the law? I know it’s a bunch of unqualified folks with no backbone over there, but this is next-level.

A recent renovation at the White House caused quite a stir on Wednesday.

The Epstein files were due to be released this Friday Congress is breaking early for vacation Trump is preparing to go to war with Venezuela They set a quota for denaturalizing citizens. Bongino is resigning. These are distractions. They want you to forget about the list.

And this just in 🚨

AZT is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines because it is still used to prevent HIV worldwide. RFK Jr. denies that the human immunodeficiency virus exists.

Designating fentanyl a WMD will worsen fentanyl misinformation, which does not prevent overdoses -it makes them deadlier- & harms anyone who could ever need pain treatment, anesthesia, & more. Patients already refuse one of the safest, best studied, easiest-to-dose pain meds because of such misinfo!

The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price. Here we are again. We cannot let a wannabe dictator drag us into another forever war. www.axios.com/2025/12/17/t...

Susie Wiles is not a complete moron. She’s smart enough to know that when you talk with a journalist and it’s on record, it means it’s on record and you will be quoted. She did this intentionally.

Call your reps and tell them we don’t want to go to war with Venezuela!

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

#GVerse via @captmarkkelly.bsky.social "Tonight, we learned the Pentagon is escalating its review of me into "an official command investigation." If #Shit4Brains or #WhiskyLeaks think they can stop me from doing my job and serving the American people, they've got the wrong guy."

1. A blockade is an act of war 2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨 3. It’s always about oil.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

🚩The threat is real!

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it. They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

I’m right over here why can’t you see me oh oh on

The titular wokeness being rolled back is the Civil Rights Act of 1964
