This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

"Rahmanullah Lakanwal was reported to feel that the CIA had abandoned him once he arrived in the United States, so he might well have become radicalized, but not in the familiar way; not by Islamists but by the actions of the Trump administration." lnk.thebulwark.com/48EQjzA

Hayes: I'll level with you here. I too am a great believer in naps. I do try to avoid them while I'm on air with you. It goes without saying that the 79 year old president is no Thomas Edison

Blatant corruption on full display.

The government has asked for the grand jury materials to be released as part of the law requiring the Epstein files to be made public.

Giving the president the pardon power was a mistake. The most corrupt president in American history is conducting a jailbreak for his fellow criminals.

NEWS: The Institute of Museum & Library Services has restored ALL previously canceled federal grants to libraries, following a ruling by a federal judge in Rhode Island last month. This is a massive win for libraries & communities in every state & territory! Learn more: www.ala.org/news/2025/12...

“.. If there’s one good thing about the proposed [$2000] dividend, it’s that the administration is starting to recognize voters’ doubts about tariffs more broadly. Its claim that foreign exporters would absorb the costs .. is wearing thin.” @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

“Crypto giants moved billions linked to money launderers, drug traffickers and North Korean hackers *** The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists traced tens of thousands of transactions and found major crypto trading platforms awash with dirty money.”

A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/i... @thecity.nyc @gwynnefitz.bsky.social

This is too much.

You have the right to record ICE. You have the right to film any operation happening in public as long as you do not interfere or impede it. Your camera is proof, but keep a safe distance. KEEP RECORDING.

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

DNC chair: “Aftyn Behn’s overperformance in this Trump +22 district is historic and a flashing warning sign for Republicans heading into the midterms.”

i'd say the midterm-level turnout for a special election is even more ominous than the swing

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

I agree 100%. We need to hold Trump and his administration to account.

Meet two heroes of our times.

Monthly registrations, a proxy for sales, slumped 58% in France to 1,593 vehicles sold, and by 49% to 534 cars in Denmark, where the Model Y was the 23rd most popular vehicle with 206 units sold, official data showed.

2014: “I admire Putin as an operator” 2010-14: Appeared on Russia today 17 times 2017: Knighted by a 7 year old girl on RT 2022: blames EU for Russian invasion 2024: “We provoked this war … of course it’s his fault – he’s used what we’ve done as an excuse” Is this not dodgy?

@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”

To be fair, Trump and Hegseth are more Klink than Rommel

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Reporter: You said that that second strike was in full accordance with the law of armed conflict but the Navy's own manual of law of war says that specifically firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime that's forbidden under U.S. Law and the law of armed conflict…

Maybe, just maybe, if the FBI counterterrorism desk hadn't been retasked to chasing abuelitas, somebody might've followed up on the tips...

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

Reading this feels like being yelled at by a calculator having a stroke.

Thou shalt not pretend that you’re at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*

Um, good time to mention Trump is pardoning Juan Orlando Hernandez? zeteo.com/p/trump-hern...

"… in the present instance, it was perfectly clear to the accused that killing defenceless people in the life-boats could be nothing else but a breach of the law. As naval officers by profession they were well aware …."

When Mark Carney sets specific goals for Canada to "diversify away" from its reliance on the US—making headlines in Canada but not the US—hear that for what it is: Close partners and allies looking elsewhere for better friends. This is the silent way that the US loses its pointless trade war.

If the Telegraph can do this, why can’t #BBC journalists challenge all politicians who bemoan our lack of growth on the elephant in the room: the damage of #Brexit+what can be done to repair it? @omrgriffiths @Nshallice @dianamartinbbc @JonathanAspinw1 @JohntNeal @jonathancmunro

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Assuming every boat Trump and Hegseth blew up contained the amount of drugs they claim, Hernandez was responsible for bringing more drugs into the US than every one of them had combined. By far. And yet, Trump murders 80+ people and counting while pardoning the narco kingpin.

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

"If you look at job growth between January and September ... for the past 15 years, it's only been worse once, and that was during the pandemic ... It is the worst first nine months for the labor market in 15 years."

Lindsey Graham sponsored the Afghan Adjustment Act: “This is the right thing to do. The people who were there with us in the fight who are here in America need to stay. This will be their new home. We have a moral obligation to these people and they will make great citizens.”

Criminal Trump allies himself with South American drug cartels. Criminals stick together. The president of the United States is a lawless criminal. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This isn’t about signatures. It’s about a president asserting he can declare what the law is or isn’t, nullify the lawful acts of his predecessor, and threaten prosecution for routine administrative practice. This is a profound abuse of power. #holdfast #SteadyState

In case you thought you were safe bc you aren't one of his currently identified enemies to kidnap and deport, take a look at this line: "and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country..." No one is safe when a bully is in charge.
