Bernie sounding the alarm about A.I. tech billionaire oligarchs buying our government and data centers

Newsom isn't the one. Refused to back taxing billionaire, says they're part of the big tent. Gets money from the broligarchy. Still sucks up to AIPAC. Threw transgender people under the bus when he interviewed Charlie Kirk and Bannon on HIS podcast. He won't reform anything. We deserve better.

MAGA Boomer: At your age in 1970 I paid off college & bought a house w/hard work Millennials: In 1970 college was 5% of median salary—Now it’s 44%. A median home was $24K—Now its $417K. The top marginal tax rate was 70%—Now its 37%. Sure maybe you did work hard—but then closed the door behind you.

Fox reports that that while many of the redactions to the Epstein Files were made to protect victims’ identities, “the same redaction standards were applied to politically exposed individuals and government officials.” In other words, DOJ admits that they edited Trump and his pals out.

When the Department of Justice blatantly violates the law to protect wealthy and politically connected pedophiles, then we have no Justice Department and we have no justice.

So, you ask, if they can’t just do a simple thing like release the files as the law requires, how can we trust them to do hard things like run the economy and keep us safe? The answer, of course, is that we can’t. We can never trust they can and will do the right thing.

“Coverups are difficult in free societies. They are routine for authoritarian governments. The Epstein coverup will be an indicator of how far we are down the road to authoritarianism. The success of such a coverup would take us much further down that road.” www.thebulwark.com/p/why-the-ep...

😕🇺🇸

“Do you support ICE?” “Not really.” “Hell f*ckin’ nah.” These two dudes drink for free on us if we ever run into them in Minnesota 🍻

Trump openly tells his flock he’s stealing $1 Billion from the treasury for himself — and somehow makes himself the victim in the story. And they clap.

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears. “I’ve waited 30 years. I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor. Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

BREAKING: RFKJr directs that the US instantly stop recommending all vaccinations for children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines. It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States. And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Jack Smith's information belongs to the US public. This government belongs to us. Information about this government belongs to us. This government exists at the behest of the US public. It's infuriating that they have these investigations and yet they're secret These people serve us. It's ours.

Do it

This is the worst case scenario that everybody was worried about

Interesting to consider that if you were to go and deface the Kennedy center by removing Trump’s name, you’d be arrested and charged with a crime, but your act would be no more unlawful than what they’re doing right now.

The American government is killing people.

Judge Mark Wolf on why he resigned: What we have now under President Trump is utterly inconsistent with equal justice under law. I watched, virtually day after day, his direction to the DOJ to prosecute his perceived political enemies and to insulate his friends, his family….

Whipple: Wiles thought she was talking to someone who would give her a fair shake. And I did give her a fair shake. But the problem is, when you’re in that bubble, you wouldn’t recognize fair treatment when you see it—because crazy is crazy when you’re in that bubble.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

I'm old enough to remember when the networks refused to carry an incredibly important speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia by President Biden about creeping fascism in the U.S. because it was "too political". Sure, but they'll broadcast every minute of Trump's propaganda bullshit. 🙄

Trump: “One year ago, our country was dead!” The Economist, one year ago:

It’s wild that Trump and the Republicans are willing to try basically everything except actually making things less expensive for people. Because they know if they show government can do that we’ll want it to do that more. #MedicareForAllNOW

Powerful

House Republicans are going on vacation and letting your health care subsidies lapse.

REP. @crockett.house.gov: “Speaker Johnson loves to run when things get tough. That's not leadership, that’s cowardice. We are supposed to be in till Friday. He has decided that our last day is going to be tomorrow.” (Epstein files deadline is Friday)

“When the German nation was, thanks to the inflation instigated and carried through by Jews, deprived of the entire savings which it had accumulated in years of honest work..when we were divested of the whole of our colonial possessions” Adolf Hitler, 1939 There’s not much difference

Trump’s speech for those who missed it.

For those who dont follow MAGA and right-wing news, it's full on "The Emperor has no clothes" right now. Straight up cult behavior and gaslighting, praising what clearly was an unhinged, weird AF rant/speech that did nothing to help their cause or poll numbers. Sadly this cult is the entire GOP.

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

👇🏽

This is an important moment, and we need to explain to the public why it's important. An agency with the power to decide who gets to broadcast is supposed to be independent from the president so it won't abuse that power. If it's not, then we are letting the president seize the power to censor.

This used to be Tulsi Gabbard.

Incredible line, from Vanity Fair part 2: @vanityfair.com www.vanityfair.com/news/story/v...

I'm told that HHS has just terminated all funding agreements with the American Academy of Pediatrics. Here's a letter HHS sent canceling one of the grants, relating to work on birth defects. Canceled because the project "emphasizes equity, diversity, and inclusion as key foundational components"

The Trump Admin wants to turn the clock back to 2008 and let Wall Street run wild. We all know how that ended – with taxpayers bailing out Wall Street while millions lost their homes and got fired from their jobs. Donald Trump could be setting the stage for the next crash.

everybody is 12

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits. If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

Frost: If you want to protect children, why don't you ban assault weapons instead of health care?

They updated the website today to remove the word "independent" Before (left), after (right)

Balint: "Even for Republican this is extreme. Are we really attempting to lock up parents and doctors? Your kids' medical care is none of their damn business. It's creepy. It's a creepy obsession."

American Doc back from Gaza to @mehdirhasan.bsky.social : “I did not see a ceasefire. I cared for patients with new shrapnel & gunshot injuries daily.” Full: substack.com/@teamzeteo/n...

What Susie Wiles thinks about the Trump administration

Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) on GOPers letting ACA tax credits expire: "We live in the richest country in the history of the world. We have a trillionaire.... And yet we're being told millions of people need to lose their health care because we can't afford it? That's obscene."

This is extremely important
