BREAKING: Mike Johnson just said he won't call a vote this year to extend enhanced subsidies under the Affordable Care Act — effectively guaranteeing they will expire at the end of this month.

Hilarious. The WH had all the Cabinet members simultaneously put out statements supporting Susie Wiles after the Vanity Fair article came out.

Payrolls fell -105k in October and rose +64k in November. August and September payrolls were also revised down a total of 33k. These data suggest VIRTUALLY NO EMPLOYMENT GROWTH since April ("Liberation day"). Unemployment is now up to 4.6%. This is a tricky report, so stay tuned.

Wow — White House Chief of staff Susie Wiles did not hold back. 👀 Start the clock! ⏰ www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/u...

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration escalated its effort to punish a sitting U.S. senator for protected political speech Monday, formally converting the Pentagon’s review of Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) into an official Command Investigation under military law. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

🚨BREAKING: Republicans on county election boards are advancing proposals to the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) that would make it harder to vote — especially for student, minority and working-class voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

BOYCOTT CBS

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

Harvard’s Pricing Lab data shows that goods prices – which were previously declining – have been on the rise since Trump started his trade war. Even domestic goods prices rose, though by a smaller amount.

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

Trump is the biggest piece of shit ever. And if you voted for him, fuck you.

Who are the moochers, and who are the donors, among the 50 US states? Information that all Fox viewers think they know, but they have it exactly backwards.

Sounds about right.

👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 He gives them permission to be the worst of inhumanity and proves that the worst beta male, full of grievances and incompetence wrapped up in a toddler tantrum, can become the bully president.

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis effectively stole $35 million in government funding for healthcare and child welfare to unlawfully fund a state-sponsored election campaign against ballot initiatives on abortion rights & legal marijuana in 2024. Florida leading the way in authoritarian corruption

Everyone in this admin, from the president on down, rushes to social media to put things out rather than act responsibly and prudently. Always looking to declare victory while seeking praise.

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.

Wow

Horrific. people.com/rob-reiner-w...

There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it." It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵

Under Trump, the SEC has eased up on more than 60% of the crypto cases that were ongoing when he took office in January. Many of the firms that benefited from the leniency had financial ties to the Trump family. The SEC is no longer pursuing any cases against crypto firms with Trump ties.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

REP. @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “The biggest ‘welfare queens’ in 🇺🇸 are corporations that don’t pay a penny in federal taxes, and CEOs who get a tax deduction for flying on a private jet — not hungry kids, or working parents who work multiple jobs.”

Stephen Miller shares worth $50,000 to $100,000 in the mining company MP Materials following a lucrative deal between the company and the Trump admin. The sale came just one month after the admin announced measures to support MP Materials. The deal led MP Materials' share price to skyrocket.

This is what Trump is posting while an active shooter is on the loose

Tyson is shutting down its Lexington, Nebraska plant in January 2026. That’s 3,200 workers gone in one shot, the largest plant shutdown in company history. Blame Trump’s tariff chaos and the lowest cattle inventories in decades. Tariffs jack up costs. Supply shrinks. Plants close. Towns hollow out.

Page One in Indy: #redistrict 🇺🇸

Fox News’ Chief National Security Correspondent. We are about to go to war for oil, while citing a lie as justification. Again.

Donald, tell me you are a criminal POTUS having criminals crime on your behalf without telling me you are a criminal POTUS having criminals crime on your behalf.

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

Trump's approval rating on the economy hits record low 31% www.axios.com/2025/12/12/t...

😕

Q: If DOJ doesn't release the files it has by next Friday, is there anything Congress can do to compel that to happen? MASSIE: It's a crime if they don't. This is a new law with criminal implications if they don't follow it.

Trump appears 4 times in newly released Epstein photos released by House Democrats. Here they are. www.cnn.com/2025/12/12/p...

The US voted with Russia, China and N. Korea against most of the civilized world. This is where we are at.

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map. This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026. The vote failed big, 19/31. The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

We're at the stage of fascism where they are threatening to harm states if they don't help them rig elections.

Q: You voted for President Trump. Why did you vote for him? Minister: Because I was an idiot.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

The US government is now a mafia organization.

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported? Noem: We have not deported military veterans. Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

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

AI data centers are sucking up communities’ power & water. AI is being used by corporations to shaft consumers and is threatening young workers’ job prospects. So Trump wants to ram through a ban on state AI regulation — all to help out his Big Tech billionaire friends. See how this works?

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

An incredible admission at how top down the right is and how the oligarchs propagandists view their followers as lemmings to manipulate through social media rage bait. Now they're upset that they have lost control of the manipulation machine.

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs. Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

Trump’s Golden Age.

Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans. Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills. Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

An insane political move. One of the recurring complaints about immigration in the U.S. is that those seeking asylum jump the line. This is line-jumping — but for rich people, not those in need.
