1/ Tina Peters is in prison for criminally breaching election security, not for exposing fraud. No court, audit, or investigation found widespread voter fraud in Colorado. Mail-in voting in Colorado has existed for years, is used by voters across parties, and has been upheld by courts.

WATCH: Local CBS followed up with a day care in the viral Nick Shirley *report* — video shows kids were dropped off right before/after he demanded entry. Would you have wanted want your kid’s day care to let him in? Now they’re getting harassed, and Trump has cut all Minnesota daycare funding.

Feels like the real election theft is the fact that Jack Smith didn’t talk publicly about Trump’s attempted 2020 election theft before the 2024 election.

“This is just one more step to push out principled humanitarian actors."

😬 @tobymorton.bsky.social has outdone himself: www.trumpkennedycenter.org

Elon Musk promised a lot of things by 2025 - colonists arriving on Mars - xAI achieving AGI - Tesla robotaxis serving half the U.S. - completely driverless robotaxis - a Tesla Roadster demo - DOGE cutting trillions none of them happened mashable.com/article/elon-mus...

JACK SMITH: “That differentiates this case from any in history.” He says he was still considering charges when Trump won, and Trump put Pence’s life in danger with his lies.

A few reactions from some folks who understand how day cares work

‘Mayhem’: Farmer warns of catastrophic consequences from Trump’s federal workforce cuts www.rawstory.com/farm/

FLASHBACK — per REUTERS Nick Shirley, the guy behind the Minnesota day care *fraud* video, once paid Hispanic day laborers he recruited at Home Depot $20 to hold pro-Biden signs in front of the White House to gin up fears of an “invasion” www.winnmediaskn.com/pro-trump-in...

I see this take all the time, and it is absolutely dumb as hell.

“The US Dept of Health & Human Services says it has frozen all child care payments to Minnesota…” So after Minnesota Republicans sent Shirley to make his viral claims, Trump uses it as an excuse to punish families in a state he doesn’t like. www.cnn.com/2025/12/29/u...

"Russian commanders threaten their own soldiers with death so often that the killings have their own name — 'zeroing out.'"

If the next Democratic president doesn’t abolish ICE then the Dems deserve to lose forever

The story was always already about an impoverished unmarried couple facing a pitiless bureaucracy, having a baby in a barn, and then having to hide from a tyrant. The baby grew up to say that the poor were blessed and the neighbor is he who shows mercy. You can’t hide from the politics of all that.

My stance with the “never Trump” right remains: These are the people who fucking built Trump. Years of shit in service of Reagan, Bush, Romney, McCain paved the way for Trump. I don’t trust them. They’re rotten. I trust the people who opposed this shit all along.

LOUISIANA: ICE officer pleads guilty to sexually abusing Nicaraguan detainee for Months “while she was under his authority”

Millions of kids are going to lose health care so that billionaires like Trump’s Secretary of Education will get a tax cut. So I asked her to explain how that is ok.

We are 30 years into the right-wing hissy fit and somehow it still manages to take people by surprise. The truth of the matter is secondary, you put an allegation into the puke funnel and with Washington wired for conservatives it quickly becomes America's Most Important Story

On Fox, Leslie Marshall takes on some of the right-wing talking points about the Minnesota story

🎥 Mouin Rabbani says a 2-state solution is “attainable” but no longer “desirable.” “Reason I say it's undesirable is because I think genocide has consequences. I don't think there should be a diplomatic resolution with a genocidal apartheid regime. I think it should be dismantled rather than...

They really cut $1 Trillion from Medicaid then put $50 billion back and think we’re all too dumb to notice

Endless lies 🤥

"Trump officials celebrated with cake after slashing aid. Then people died of cholera."

A synthesis of denial and performative sadism.

"If there is no boundary between real and unreal, good and evil, life and death, then nothing means anything, and we face a nihilist abyss." @marcishore.bsky.social in #IWMPost @iwm.at www.iwm.at/publication/...

The December 24 drone strike in Venezuela is the latest in a long tradition of CIA interventions in Latin America — which often lead to destabilization and blowback.

“Where is that same energy?” Suddenly the people who didn’t care about Trump’s 34 felony counts are super into accountability and against fraud? Please spare us

Wrote up today's ruling effectively telling Russ Vought that if he stops seeking funding for the CFPB while under an injunction to keep the agency open, he'll be in contempt. prospect.org/2025/12/30/j...

Every American should be demanding answers as to why the Trump Department of Justice was monitoring a journalist investigating Jeffrey Epstein.

Federal judge rules that Russ Vought CANNOT stop seeking CFPB funding from the Federal Reserve because it no longer has "combined earnings" out of which to pay the Bureau. Vought has been blocked from shuttering the CFPB multiple times.

🤔😕“Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered in the corruption probe, which they and FBI agents believed had shown Homan unsuitable for a trusted senior role in government service…” www.ms.now/news/border-...

“There is palpable fear throughout the community… now if you’re an immigrant you’re not going to call law enforcement when you’re the victim of a crime…” ICE has detained nearly 6,000 people in Tennessee alone - most NOT violent criminals. Full: www.wkrn.com/news/tenness...

This is an act of war and illegal under both US and international law, let’s just be clear about that:

WATCH — @emmavigeland.bsky.social : “I do think the elephant in the room is 🇺🇸 completely losing… and Biden is complicit as well… moral standing throughout the world due to our complicity in the genocide in Gaza… this will go down as one of the worst crimes in the history of humanity.”

“Local news covered this, the alleged scheme has nothing to do with terrorism, employees sounded the alarm — and Shirley ignored a white woman (Aimee Bock) arrested for $250 Million fraud.” @qasimrashid.com on the “Minnesota Somalian fraud” story: youtu.be/4XZgjm1qZhU?...

If the strike happened, Trump will have made war in Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, Yemen, and the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean in 2025, despite claiming to be a “peacemaker.” interc.pt/4plB4Sn

Got a new one from @matthewccook5.bsky.social and our friends at @exposedbycmd.bsky.social on the rather credulous reporting pushing the Minnesota benefit fraud scandals, and the blanket statements associating all Somalians with this thievery. prospect.org/2025/12/29/c...

People forget Elon Musk said he'd end world hunger for a year if human rights orgs could provide the exact amount necessary and when they replied 6 billion he went silent. There's no "left wing billionaires" because to become one you need to exploit thousands of humans

for the love of god, AI systems aren't "just tools that are neither good nor evil in and of themselves". AI systems *are* tools of capitalism. they exist as tools of capitalism. there is no AI system "in and of itself" outside of capitalism

The new HBO documentary "Critical Incident: Death at the Border" looks at the alleged cover-up of the murder of an undocumented Mexican immigrant who died while in U.S. custody under the watch of the now-head of Border Patrol, Rodney Scott.

Fascinating that WCYB declares the RNC/DNC pipe bomber “was not motivated by the certification of Biden” when the documents show he literally says believing the 2020 election was stolen is exactly why he did it. 🤔 wcyb.com/news/nation-...

#GVerse Maggie Smith and Joan Plowright roasting Judi Dench for getting all the roles is genuinely the best thing you’ll see today.

AI has only made the world a worse place. Basically going to start boycotting any organization that uses AI for customer service.

Goldman was among a clutch of Democrats who voted for an NSA spy program, despite warnings about Trump’s return to power.

Alarm is growing over the treatment and deteriorating health of eight Palestine Action activists jailed in the U.K. who are on hunger strike to protest their detention.

Even on a cold winter night Denmark has 100% coverage of electricity by wind energy. 4GW of offshore wind projects are in the making in the coming few years. 1GW in a year. Denmark plans to be a net exporter of green energy in the form of electricity, hydrogen and electro fuels in 2030
