I say, looking back about ten years or so, that when a presidential candidate says some shit that’s border criminal and unquestionably morally reprehensible in a hot mic in an RV, that we make that the end of it. We really fucked that one up.

Yep

Trump's promise of $1,776 for service members last night -- which was supposed to be a tariff thing -- is in fact theft from increased housing allowances. www.defenseone.com/policy/2025/...

The Kennedy Center name is established by federal statute, and therefore may be repealed only by federal statute. www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

It gets even more pathetic— x.com/RepBeatty/st...

BREAKING on MS NOW: Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

Prayers to @atrupar.com though.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

We could have had this...

Here's interview with US citizen scanned by ICE's facial recognition tech. Walking home from gym, authorities come over. He says he's a citizen. Put him in car. Only release after scanning his face “Flagrant violation of rights and incompatible with a free society” www.404media.co/how-a-us-cit...

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

“Other countries don’t do this. Other children don’t live this way. This is a choice. A series of deliberate political decisions wrapped in cowardice, corruption, and a gun fetish masquerading as freedom.”

“Whatever the case, the end result is a regime hated by its subjects but wielding so much internal power that it cannot be displaced by ordinary democratic means. If you wish to see living examples of regimes that successfully executed the Authoritarian Shift, look to [Orbán, Lukashenko, Putin...]”

"Every lockdown drill is a confession of failure. Every barricaded classroom is an indictment. Every child taught to hide is proof that the adults in charge have surrendered."

Trump is trying to steal the money importers have paid in illegal tariffs before SCOTUS rules the tariffs were illegal. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat. The claim collapsed because it’s a cover. Check my latest… open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

“.. The problem isn’t that grocery prices are high .. the problem is that nobody is giving the president credit for all the good things happening in the make-believe world he inhabits.” @rexhuppke.bsky.social www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

"Today’s ruling is a powerful affirmation that the rule of law still matters," Sandoval-Moshenberg said. "The Court made … clear that the govt cannot detain a person indefinitely without legal authority, and that every agency involved must now comply fully and promptly with the Court’s directives."

One of the most blatantly authoritarian threats in a Trump term full of them

This is probably the clearest indication yet that the administration understands what they’re doing in the Caribbean is illegal. They’re now threatening the ICC with sanctions if they investigate Trump and his team.

This one is speaking to me today

Same headline. Seven years apart. 🤡 @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Shouldn’t this news about Trump Jr. spend at least a few hours atop the newscycle?

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

As you read about service members' response to being underbussed by Pete Hegseth, consider how this will play as Trump tries to start an illegal war with Venezuela.

Welker: "Are you calling for U.S. service members to actively disobey orders like those?" Sen. Mark Kelly: "If orders are illegal, not only do they not have to follow them, they are legally required not to follow them…There needs to be an investigation."

Why didn’t Trump order flags to be flown at half staff for National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom like he did for Charlie Kirk? 🤔

More troops in DC? “The sunk-cost fallacy describes a phenomenon whereby individuals irrationally decide to continue investing in a flawed decision as a way to try to justify the original bad decision.”

“The National Guard is stranded somewhere on this battlefield of partisan politics. They are not ready for this arena, and we should never have asked them to be. Politics is not a military mission.” @juliettekayyem.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?

With DC shooter now identified as an Afghan national not the antifa secret agent White House hoped for a good time to remember the Trump admin has gutted domestic anti-terrorism capacity and reassigned many to finding grandmothers to arrest at immigration hearings.

This is smart from @tressiemcphd.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/o...

“Today, as the Roberts court rewrites the Constitution in the image of Trumpian autocracy, it’s become clear that Roberts’ promise to be a neutral umpire was a lie.”

This is all John Roberts’ fault

National Guard members were not getting shot in DC under Joe Biden.

Donald Trump’s administration has put both the National Guard and everyday Americans at risk by forcing them to occupy our cities. We hope that everyone involved is ok and makes a swift recovery.

Yep. I've been waiting for EU spooks to start reminding Trump that they've got their own capabilities.

@ Justice Roberts?

@ Justice Roberts?

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Here is my peace plan for Ukraine/Russia. 1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine. 2. Putin goes on trial in the Hague. 3. Russia pays everyone for everything. 4. Trump gets impeached, convicted, and sent to jail. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

So as sure as the sun will shine I'm gonna get my share now what's mine And then the harder they come The harder they fall one and all Ooh the harder they come The harder they fall one and all

Oh. Nice of the Trump shitshow to care about oil companies having a field day.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired. If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

The cases against Comey and James went down faster than Lauren Boebert at a Beetlejuice performance.
