Trump: “China has very few wind farms. You know why? Because they are smart. You know what they do have? A lot of coal.” Fact: China has about 44% of the world’s wind farm capacity. Ranking No. 1 globally. Almost tripling what the U.S. has.

isn't it weird how there was a big thing about the epstein files and then they signed a law to release the epstein files and then nobody gives a shit about the Epstein files anymore and they never got released and probably never will

This is demonstrably false. A blatant lie. Not even a hint of truth. Can we not sue them for this shit?!? This frustrates me so much.

MAGAZINER: A hardworking man w/no criminal record who raised 3 sons to be Marines -- ICE agents tackled him while he was mowing lawn & imprisoned him. Will you consider him for parole? NOEM: Everyone in this country illegally has an opportunity to voluntarily go home M: He raised 3 Marines

By adding piracy to the long list of crimes, after openly declaring political war on Europe, the USA must now be regarded by our supine leaders as a hostile rogue state. Won't be, of course, they're cowardly idiots. Get US troops out of Europe. Close embassies. No travel. Seriously, USA - fuck off.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

🇨🇦 If you are a Canadian who still wants to travel to the US, you may want to put that thought aside. The US Thought Police want your social/personal history for the last five years. If you have said anything against Felon 47 you might be banned or jailed. US Tourism is dead. #CanadaSky🇨🇦

$9.23 billion over 3 years/2% of the economy lost to car crashes And NACT want us to go faster, on more roads, with less safety www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s farewell gift to Mike Johnson: a longshot plot to oust him Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been gauging whether there's enough support among her GOP colleagues to remove Rep. Mike Johnson from the speakership.

Thinking of that time when my dad, himself a doctor, was thrown by a horse on a trail ride. Punctured his spleen, internal bleeding, got him to an ER just in time. He lived another 20 years. With two hours delay, probably wouldn't have. We rushed to *nearest* ER. Not comparison-shop for ER prices.

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote: https://propub.li/3MTlm33

Bradley "affirmed having sought real-time legal advice" & got it. But per cong'l sources, Bradley "did not say whether his military lawyer considered the survivors shipwrecked & out of the fight." Leaves me deeply doubtful that the JAG ok'd it & Bradley just neglected to mention that.

THANEDAR: It is a fact that you ignored federal court orders in March and in May of this year. Do you plan on ignoring federal orders? NOEM: We always comply with all federal court orders THANEDAR: I'm sick of your lies

To anyone interested, the reason why the right are so against wind turbines is they are so good, it’s potentially free electricity for the world indefinitely. That’s why they’re so against it.

People with no criminal records now make up the largest group in ICE detention. They’re also holding children for longer than twenty days after ripping them away from their families. They’re deporting people in persistent vegetative states. They’re committing crimes against humanity.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social I thought Johnson was a Christian. Why does he keep lying?

Eight months ago vs today. 🤡 @atrupar.com @cnbc.com @cbsnews.com

Calling the press “fake news” is harmful. Calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing reporting is something else entirely. Treason is a capital crime. Suggesting journalists should face it for exercising their First Amendment rights and doing their jobs is dangerous.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara apologies to the US citizen who was brutally detained by ICE. “This is embarrassing”. ICE is embarrassing America. That’s why tourist revenue is down. That’s why people don’t want to visit. That’s why there’s boycotts. It’s an embarrassment & a danger.

Why isn't it, @nytimes.com @nypost.com @wsj.com @washingtonpost.com @postopinions.bsky.social @dallasnews.com @chicagotribune.com @latimes.com @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @abcnewsbot.bsky.social @foxnews-mun-1.bsky.social @cnbc.com?

It's not a new thing, iirc Jim Jordan also has an outstanding subpoena he never answered.

Shit, they also ignore subpeonas. New thing the GOP just does and gets away with it. Time for this shit to change.

Noem leaves the hearing and is heckled as she departs the room

There’s no need to treat these people as anything but the sordid rabble of crooks and grifters and subnormal bigots that they are.

Kinda weird that the old man busy taking vaccines away and screaming about tylenol is pretty clearly on sterioids or something similar.

Trump pushes for ‘free economic zone’ in Donbas, says Zelenskyy on.ft.com/3MDWqwq

Moskowitz: "Perhaps someone should tell the president that every time he says 'affordability is a hoax,' another Democrat sprouts of the ground and lands in the House of Representatives and eventually we'll get a gavel."

NSF reorganization is, frankly, a bit odd, and we haven't run a story on it partly because it's hard to know what to make of it. The impetus for reorg, as I understood it, was to limit the siloing that occurs because NSF has so many (35ish) divisions. Now there will be 50+ sections.

It has never been more obvious that Republicans only care to fight for their billionaire friends. Even if it means Americans dying. Health care access saves lives. Now, starting on New Year’s Day, millions of Americans will lose their health coverage. Republicans don’t care!

NEW: The DOJ said it’s readying to sue GOP-led state Georgia after it told the department to “pound sand” for requesting unredacted access to its state voter records. The development underscores growing nationwide alarm over the DOJ’s national effort to access voters’ private data.

Glasheen is in the process of utterly shaming himself.

Senate Republicans just voted to raise health insurance premiums for tens of millions of Americans. Their vote today was the latest action in their 15-year crusade to demolish the ACA despite the law putting affordable, quality health care within reach for tens of millions of Americans nationwide.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

DOOCY: If Trump launches a bigger military campaign in the Caribbean, is he jeopardizing a Nobel Peace Prize? LEAVITT: The president has proven over the past year that he's more than worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize. He's solved 9 conflicts

There’s one number Jamie and Carrie Wright haven’t squared away: $1,792 -- their projected monthly insurance premium in 2026 if Congress doesn’t extend enhanced marketplace tax credits. That’s 265% more than their current monthly premium... From @wdownard.bsky.social

Denmark isn’t exaggerating. If a country threatens to seize another’s territory, it becomes a potential threat by definition, even if they are treaty allies on paper. This is the situation Trump has created for Greenland and Denmark. #holdfast #steadystate

😕

COLLINS: If the economy is as strong as Trump says it is, then why is he telling parents 2 weeks before Christmas that they should only buy 2 or 3 dolls for their kids? LEAVITT: What he's saying is if we want products made here, we're gonna have better quality. Maybe you'll pay a dollar or 2 more

Kaitlan Collins pushes Leavitt on her gaslighting about the economy. Leavitt ends by accusing her of wanting to "push untrue narratives about the president"

Sen. BLUMENTHAL: Parents don’t want speeches. They want a law. The House has weakened the Kids Online Safety Act that would prevent abuses and impose a legal responsibility on Big Tech. It’s a disservice to parents, children, and victims.

In addition to 5 years of social media history, CBP would also require tourists to provide all phone numbers used over that period, any email addresses used in the past decade, DNA and iris scans, and the names, addresses, birthdates and birthplaces of family members Including children

Q: Why does Trump keep saying the farm bailout will be paid for by tariffs when Sec. Rollins says that's not the case? LEAVITT: *never answers question*
