No. Just No. We won’t accept this. His EOs have to stop now! Where are all the states rights people. Be LOUD

Today in state media:

⬇️THIS!

We’ve faced bullies before. He’s not new. He’s not special. He’s not complicated. He’s the same sad, dangerous pattern in a sloppier suit. And I know bullies. Believe me. I know how they operate. I know how they implode. I know how they fall. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

HAPPENING NOW: SCOTUS hears Trump v. Slaughter on the removal of FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter — a case that could upend federal agency independence. Listen here: www.supremecourt.gov/oral_argumen...

ICE stormed a residence hall at Augsburg University, detained an undergrad, and aimed rifles at students and staff then admitted they had no warrant to be on campus. This is state violence. This is terror. And this is exactly what Trump’s America unleashes on our communities.

The GOP enacted civil service reform. The GOP will destroy civil service reform. The GOP is NOT the same party that it was. Keep this in mind when they claim Lincoln as their own

Bill Kristol of The Bulwark said this about the Venezuela boat strikes. “This isn’t a counter-terrorism campaign. It’s a shooting gallery with helpless targets” Hegseth won’t release the footage of the murders because he knows the American people will be outraged. #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

Corporate Media could still end Trump's authoritarian crime spree against US at any point that they chose to report on him objectively. Which is why they don't.

🧵1/3 Trump is asking Scotus for unchecked power to purge “independent” regulators at will. If he wins, the FTC, FEC, FCC, NLRB all become partisan weapons he can bend to his will. This is a direct attack on the guardrails that keep presidents from ruling by decree. abcnews.go.com/Politics/lan...

No, @therickwilson.bsky.social has not created a bunch of brand new channels. He’s the victim of an A.I. impersonation scam. Watch here for how to stay safe against them: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YysO...

The president’s son-in-law is in on Paramount’s hostile bid for Warner Bros. And Trump recently said he wasn’t a fan of the Netflix bid. Cuz this is Trump’s Washington. www.axios.com/2025/12/08/j...

FWIW DOJ still has not appealed the ruling disqualifying Halligan, nor have they appealed the Third Circuit ruling disqualifying Alina Habba on similar grounds (and nor did they respond to my request for comment about whether they plan to appeal)

"Starting Jan. 1, in six states selected to take part in a federal pilot program, traditional Medicare recipients will face a new hurdle to get certain procedures covered -- private AI companies that get paid based on how many claims they deny..." www.kuow.org/stories/thou...

Congrats to the White House for inventing a stat that measures doing nothing and still bragging about it.

NEWS: Mike Johnson braces for 'mass exodus' of House Republicans. Trump caught committing same mortgage fraud he is prosecuting Letitia James for. Trump's Thailand peace deal is effectively over. An important news update. Subscribe to support: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

A leaked DOJ memo obtained by @kenklippenstein.bsky.social reveals an effort to build a list of supposedly "anti-American" groups and individuals, an escalation of the administration's crackdown on dissent. The list targets "not just the left" but "anyone who isn't a Trump supporter," he says.

"Trump’s two loans, they said, exceed the low bar the Trump administration itself has set for mortgage fraud." "Given Trump’s position on situations like this, he’s going to either need to fire himself or refer himself to the Department of Justice” (a Suffolk University law professor) #Pinks

It’s always projection isn’t it? Trump, and looney tune people just like him always project their bullshit on people they hate when the reality is - they are guilty as sin. Oldest trick in book.

CNBC: Do you think the president embraces the idea of you being the owner of CNN given his criticism for that network? DAVID ELLISON: Ah -- we've had great conversations with the president about this but I don't want to speak for him in any way, shape, or form

Supreme Court takes the bench in a few minutes to hear case that could spell the end of independent agencies in this country. Sounds arcane but huuuge practical importance. Also, Court has told lower court to reconsider its ruling that upheld vaccine requirements w/o exemption for religious belief

It’s becoming increasingly clear that partnering with an unpredictable American regime weakens Europe. The only way to save itself is to disconnect from toxic Trumpistan, just as it did with Putin.

Come for my small hairless dog stay for @therickwilson.bsky.social youtu.be/HOs3IvNhubU?...

It's not "free-market conservatism" when Trump uses government power to sabotage farmers' markets and then spends taxpayer money to bail them out, making them more dependent on the government. It's what dictators want: everyone dependent on their personal whims.

As cost-of-living concerns mount across the political spectrum, Republicans are struggling to act decisively to address them.

No shit.

RELEASE THE DAMN EPSTEIN FILES UNREDACTED! NOW!

A Virginia grand jury refused the DOJ’s attempt to re-indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on alleged mortgage fraud allegation charges, marking a major blow to the department’s push to prosecute Trump’s political enemies.

This is the president and this guy has got to go!

Trump says Lisa Cook is unfit to be a Fed governor because she claimed two different properties as her primary residence on her mortgage applications. (Cook denies this.) Trump did the exact same thing on mortgage applications submitted a mere 7 weeks apart. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Good Trouble go.bsky.app/M322QeX

If you wonder whether these comparisons of Trump to Nazis go too far, remember that Hitler was present in the German political scene long before he created the first death camp And at that point, he was calling Jews “vermin” Which-of course-is not dissimilar from Trump calling Somalis “garbage”

“Everything that they’ve done has been illegal. It’s illegal under international law. It’s illegal under the Geneva Convention. And it certainly is illegal even under domestic law. It was essentially murder," Duckworth said. Go here for more:

NEW: The Trump administration has argued that Fed board member Lisa Cook may have committed mortgage fraud by declaring more than one primary residence on her loans. We found that Trump once did the very thing he claimed could be a crime.

Dreaming of warm paws, and even warmer beds. The temperature dropped to -12C this morning, we were lucky to get a few photos during yesterdays snow when the outside was still tolerable.

If there is a museum for political art anywhere this poster should go in it

Democrats post strong early voting turnout in Miami mayoral runoff Miami hasn’t elected a Democrat as mayor in nearly three decades, but early voting & mail-ballot returns in next week’s runoff show Democrats turning out in significant numbers as they try to break the city’s long Republican streak.

If the rumors are true, every signature is a symptom of a bigger problem. America deserves to know who’s actually in charge.

The United States new National Security Strategy has declared Europe the enemy, it is now official US policy to weaken and destroy the European Union in order to subjugate the continent under Russia.

Just a proud, unrepentant racist.

The most transparent administration in history is now hiding both the complete Epstein files and the complete video of the Sept. 2 boat strike from the American people, only releasing the parts of each that they want you to see while concealing the rest.

We need more leaders like Adelita Grijalva! You'll wanna see this:

1) Trump pardons a corrupt Dem 2) Jeffries makes excuses for the "thin" indictment 3) Cuellar files to run as a Dem 4) Trump squeals that his quid pro quo isn't being honored

Spot on, Mr. Rather. 🎯 💯

Trump’s Justice Department is hellbent on accessing our private voter info—Social Security numbers, party affiliation, driver's licenses—resulting in what experts warn would be a gold mine for hackers. “It's a hacker's dream to have all of this private, sensitive information collected somewhere.”

Himes on the difference between Trump's boat strikes and Obama's drone strikes: "The most important distinction is that Congress authorized the war on terror ... the original sin of this whole thing is that there is no congressional authorization."
