So much fun! Eastern Market Park on Capitol Hill, Washington DC 🎄

Here for the tree lighting in my Capitol Hill neighborhood 🎄

This is a new and dire development in the ongoing American constitutional crisis. The voters, Congress, and, yes, the U.S. military must all now be more vigilant than at any time in our modern history. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

“Shut up. You had me at despot.” ❤️

Senator Bill Cassidy, who voted to confirm RFK jr, just posted this.

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Trump administration to end its monthslong deployment of National Guard troops to help police the nation’s capital.

Trump is absolutely cratering on economy in new Marquette poll: Overall econ approval: 36-64 On tariffs: 37-63 On inflation/cost of living: 28-72 (!!!) "We’re looking at a really grim downward spiral for Trump," says @timothynoah.bsky.social. All on the pod: newrepublic.com/article/2034...

When a sitting president calls for death to lawmakers, it’s not a warning sign, it’s the emergency siren. He is talking like a dictator and telling you exactly how he plans to use his power. This is how democracies fall and how dictatorships begin.

He started all this redistricting nonsense, forcing other states to follow suit. Yet his corrupt maps were thrown out on the same day he was ordered to remove the Ten Commandments from Texas classrooms. Thou shalt not cheat.

This…isn’t good

This has got a good beat to it.

Newsom for the win

It really is disgusting that Trump can insult, berate, single out, threaten, and demean female reporters on a daily basis for asking fair and legitimate questions and you can’t find a single Republican woman in Congress to say it is inappropriate behavior.

"Quiet, piggy!"

In April 2009, the Washington Post asked 10 writers to make the case for something that deserves to be tossed out as part of "spring cleaning." I chose Larry Summers. Better late than never. Unlocked version of my 16-year-old article below. naomiklein.org/why-we-shoul...

Page One: “.. Just 217 minutes elapsed between Mr. Trump’s command .. that she investigate prominent Democrats .. and Ms. Bondi’s announcement that she had referred the matter to the U.S. attorney ..” @glennthrush.bsky.social @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/u...

I’ve been working hard for this 🤣 #Wordle @nytgames.bsky.social

Of course they did.

Vote. Protest. Vote. Donate. Vote. Organize. Vote. Talk to your neighbors. Vote. Stay informed. Vote. Keep a sense of humor. Vote. Also, vote

The U.S. intelligence community concluded Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman approved the killing and dismemberment of a Post columnist, making President Trump's formal dinner for the prince on Tuesday a dramatic step in public rehabilitation. https://wapo.st/3LOwEFn

President Trump returned to office promising to avoid foreign entanglements, make life more affordable and ensure that available jobs go to American citizens. His recent actions have been a significant departure from the expectations of his loyal base. nyti.ms/4p91FCj

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

Fact-check: true 😕

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow. She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

Government, taxes, & regulation are good actually

“Because, I’ll tell ya, this is costing the airlines millions of dollars,” the pilot said. 🚨 Dems caved on shutdown because it’s easier to have millions of people without health insurance than to have airline CEOs mad

The problem isn't that they caved for a promised vote; the problem is that the vote will be a meaningless gesture impressing no one but Senate Democrats. It will fail. ACA beneficiaries will suffer considerably as a result and there will be no consequences of any kind for Republicans.

Dick Durbin suffers from a terminal case of Senate Brain, in which the big prize is a handshake deal with your distinguished colleagues where they'll allow you to hold a meaningless vote that you can then point to with pride to your constituents as they go broke from crushing medical bills.

Dick Durbin just voted to fund this.

New: The Supreme Court DENIES Kim Davis' request to overturn Obergefell, the marriage equality decision. No noted dissents. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

💯 this!

Tonight was a very bad night.

TL:DR spineless Dems caved to airline industry lobbyists

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

Dems who voted with GOP on ending shutdown: DURBIN SHAHEEN HASSAN FETTERMAN ROSEN CORTEZ MASTO KAINE And KING (I) On track for 60-40 vote

BERNIE ON THE *DEAL* with Centrist Dems: “That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.”

Government is shut down. Chaos in airports. 42 million going hungry. 24 million face skyrocketing healthcare costs. Economy in turmoil. And the president of the United States is in the Fox broadcast booth calling plays for a football game.

If this is true, the U.S. is completely fucked. There is no bottom.

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.

ICE agent in Chicago draws and trains a firearm on protestors armed with iPhones. Trump's America in 2025.

We will not let Minnesotans go hungry.

A staggering number of jobs lost, of lives ruined And a stinging indictment of Donald Trump’s incompetence

Three of my neighbors were forcibly illegally detained over night by masked ICE agents who refused to show ID, my youngest kid died of measles, and I can’t afford to feed the other two, but at least I sleep easy at night knowing the damn Jew at the bagel shop has to say “Merry Christmas” this year.

Not sure if these are the Page One headlines WH was going for. @wsj.com
