The previous modern standard for murdering people en masse while effecting an arrest warrant involved members of a Waco religious cult (76), or group home occupants (11) in West Philadelphia or the Chicago abode of some Blank Panthers (2 dead, more wounded). Trump now holds the record.

There's a lot I dislike about this guy, but if Hair Furor's fragile ego needs to give him a platform like this to kick that big fat orange ass around, I'm fine with it.

How soon before WaPo dumps George Will for being insufficiently jingoistic. This is where we are now, folks. www.washingtonpost.com/.../trump-ma...

Stephen Miller's demonic consort has grand ambitions. America First, amirite?

It's a sad situation when foreign leaders across the political spectrum can denounce Trump's unlawful action in clearer and harsher terms than the supposed leaders of the so-called opposition party in Congress. Schumer and Jeffries are worthless.

If only someone would fly in and kidnap OUR president.

It’s the United States that needs regime change.

I PRAY EVERY DAY FOR HIS DEATH.

When it comes to the crackdown on fraudulent activity in Minnesota, “the administration’s preferred narrative has been advanced in widespread coverage by corporate media outlets,” writes @matthewccook5.bsky.social with @exposedbycmd.bsky.social: trib.al/i6Uhp3R

The real story here is that his doctor has told him, not once but THREE TIMES, that he needs to take a cognitive exam. His own government says that "Cognitive testing is used if a person shows signs of a problem with memory, thinking, or other brain functions." medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/co...

A lot of the coverage of Mamdani is predicated on the idea that socialism is necessarily an economic system of mass impoverishment, and this is by design: the very wealthy want people to imagine that any system where the rich end up less well off will lead everyone else to be poorer too.

There's a lot to hate about POLITICO—especially its cynical horse-race coverage that completely skirts questions of truth. But they do excel at getting insiders to go on the record, and they can sometimes produce in-depth reports about political boondoggles. Like this one. Well worth a read.

But the doomers assured me that the law was dead and we might as well give up apnews.com/article/trum...

Fuuuuuuuck you.

The Judiciary Committee just released the transcript of special counsel Jack Smith's testimony, and it tells you how well the Republicans think the session went for them that they've decided to dump it on New Year's Eve. Here's a sample of Smith eating their faces:

The subtext here – although the Wall Street Journal buries the lede – is that Mar-a-Lago was using its spa in the late 1990s and early 2000s to traffic teenage girls to Jeffrey Epstein. Even Trump‘s wife at the time, Marla Maples, knew there was something wrong with the arrangement.

Since 1975, $79 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1% — a 1% that now owns more wealth than the bottom 93%. We can respect innovation & entrepreneurship, but we cannot respect the extraordinary greed that now exists. We need a wealth tax.

Bari Weiss’ two accomplishments so far are hosting an interview that she desperately wanted people to watch (but they didn’t) and trying to spike a news story that she desperately wanted nobody to watch (but they did)

Every warehouse will bear a sign reading "Arbeit macht frei."

Here’s the episode of 60 Minutes on human rights abuses at CECOT that Steven Miller, Donald Trump, Larry Ellison, and Bari Weiss (I believe that’s the order of command) didn’t want you to see.

Acting Director of Cybersecurity Agency demands to see top-secret data. Director is told he needs to take a polygraph. Director says fine. Director fails polygraph. Six career staffers responsible for organizing polygraph are suspended while DHS investigates them. Makes perfect sense.

Todd Blanche is USING survivors to protect Trump and it’s DISGUSTING. Can we please yeet this monster into the sun?

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Let me see if I have this right. Republicans are going to “change the subject” from their stripping healthcare away from millions of Americans by boasting about stripping healthcare from even more Americans. Their strategic ineptitude is exceeded only by their malicious cruelty.

Florida has had 30 exonerations from death row, more than any other state in the country. When the stakes are life or death, we cannot afford to settle for anything less than what the Constitution promises.

New Quinnipiac poll: 57% favor path to legalization for undocs vs 35% who back deporting them Trump underwater on immigration (44-54) and on deportations (42-55) Meanwhile DHS's Twitter feed is a white nationalist sewer pit and Gregory Bovino is swaggering around like an occupying general

Just fucking monstrous.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

This is what happens when the FBI is run by two right-wing conspiracy theorist podcasters who spent the last 11 months purging almost anyone with institutional knowledge from the bureau. They're going to keep fucking this kind of thing up.

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.

shoutout to the crowd that insisted it was a political loser to stand up for abrego garcia’s rights

Amazing how one man has stood up to a festering mass of pure evil.

My people, I know you can't afford hamburger, but I bring you the gift of racism!

This is a white supremacist rally. Anyone who attends something like this or still supports the leader of this movement should be unwelcome in your home and shunned from civil society. Period. We’re way past the point where this crap should be tolerated from anyone. Cast them out.

First, you start a trade war by levying massive tariffs on foreign goods. Then you collect what amounts to a tax from all Americans who purchase those goods. And finally, you dole out money from this tax to your core supporters to ameliorate the destructive impact of the tariffs you imposed. Genius!

Hey Repunicans, tell us more about the "Biden crime family."

If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud. Just unspeakable assholery.

By “sovreignty” he means “states should be weak enough so that billionaires like me should be able to treat them as feudal vassals” bsky.app/profile/lora...

He'd be pleased to receive a gold-plated shit-filled diaper. Thirstiest person ever. Just a gaping maw of raw grasping need.

But hasn’t Hair Furor already pardoned everyone charged in relation to events on January 6? Give him a job at the Pentagon maybe? Lots of murderers there.

What's changed is that the Court has become more transparent in its corruption. There's not even an argument here beyond the implicit one which is: how do you expect us to hold the House without those seats?

My guess: the remains of the legitimate DoJ and FBI are ratfucking the current corrupt leadership by forcing them to confront the crimes of Jan. 6. The prosecutor who secured this indictment also got convictions of the Proud Boys that were later overturned by Hair Furor. Eat this, Bondi and Patel.

Trump’s Lawless Rampage Is Only Accelerating talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

It is tragic that this person was put in a position where she lost her life for no reason other than to serve the vanity of a man determined to establish dominance over a city that hates him

An in-depth—& infuriating—overview of the wilding spree Elon and his minions subjected our government to, and a sad survey of the wreckage they left behind. Maybe the worst self-sabotage in US history. If a foreign enemy (or evil space aliens) had taken over, they could hardly have done worse.

On the one hand, these numbers are heartening. It means that the more voters learn about these monstrous policies, the more they oppose them. On the other hand, it means that 77% of registered Republicans don’t care if DHS/ICE harasses, detains, and possibly even deports US citizens.

Lawless shits. "ICE agents surrounded the judge’s car, threatening to smash in the windows. Head of Security for R.I. Superior Court confronted the agents and told both the judge and the intern to stay inside the car. After an argument, ICE confirmed they had misidentified the teen and left."

Crow: "It just tells us everything that we need to know that reminding people to obey the law, reminding people to obey the Constitution, is somehow criminal in Trumpworld and should be responded to with death threats. It's very, very telling."

If you pick clowns to go after your political enemies, you're going to get a circus.
