I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

Bye bye 2025 (yayyy), hello 2026 (boooo)

Trump wants a blue state to free a convicted felon he likes. Since the state disagrees, the White House keeps punishing the state and its residents. Let’s not lose sight of how utterly bonkers this is. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

“This is not utopia, this is not some pie-in-the-sky idea. This is something the American people want.” @sanders.senate.gov speaks with @premthakker.bsky.social after swearing in Zohran Mamdani as New York City Mayor.

How does Moscow view Donald Trump at the end of 2025? One Russian paper today: “The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World…he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold to be destroyed…” #ReadingRussia youtu.be/7EwZNk6KgHU

Every installment of this MTG rehabilitation tour feels like “Nice Scorpion Regrets Past Stings, Needs Help With River Crossing!”

MSNOW reported the pipe bomber was a trump supporter. Marcy Wheeler pointed out the 22-day gap missing from the arrest affidavit. Now DoJ wants you to believe this guy has no political affiliation?

A nice thread in which an actual expert patiently explains why the Secretary of Health and Human Service is not simply a liar, but an especially stupid one.

Keeper of the Flame (1942), starring Katharine Hepburn & Spencer Tracy. It feels… uncomfortably current✨ 🎥 amouthful_of_cherries (IG)

This year's most disappointing thing for me was the capitulation of the press... more so than the universities, law firms, and corporations. Where are our current 1st Amendment warriors? Insightful reminder⬇️

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

“.. fame and exceptionalism can be very, very destructive. .. I think it’s good to make your own bed, it’s good to go do your shopping, to have your feet on the ground, to know that you’re a human being as well. The other stuff is projection.” - Annie Lennox, born today in 1954 💕

The Liz Truss Show - Behind the Scenes

p.s. has anyone seen my hotdog costume

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

Watch. DOJ will eventually release the old FBI handwriting analysis of the Epstein/Nassar letter saying it's a fake, then point fingers at "dems" who "perpetrated a hoax" to "hurt president trump."

1. Keep your eye on the ball, people That Epstein-Larry Nassar letter has fake written all over it -- N. Virginia postmark, after JE's death, in a handwriting that appears not his own It's hard not to think DOJ WANTED this out there to then be debunked and thus discredit every mention of Trump...

As you know, I am an expert on letters/documents. This one is an obvious fake, clearly made by someone in the days after Epstein died as a very sick joke. The content is preposterously ridiculous in every way and the postmark is from North Virginia. DOJ obv wants it out there for the reason below.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

The Dunning-Kruger Effect and the Streisand Effect, when merged, become the Bari Weiss Effect

Why would anyone risk themselves to go on 60 Minutes after this? How can viewers ever trust CBS News to report fairly on topics this White House is sensitive about?

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin model—using the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in return…

@padilla.senate.gov asked five U.S. citizens who were illegally detained by ICE what they would say to this Administration. Their response? This America is NOT “great.”

RFK Jr. should have paid more attention to the comics in 1968.

This Epstein files "release" is the most disgusting cover up in American history

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

The Kennedy Center name is established by federal statute, and therefore may be repealed only by federal statute. www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

The Trump administration is reportedly moving to dismantle NCAR in Boulder, risking jobs and research that is crucial for our nation’s safety. But this administration’s threats against Colorado won’t work. I’ll always stand up for Colorado and fight against lawlessly bullying.

What the absolute [expletive] was that?!?

It's one long run on sentence. Did he get into his son's stash?

"Mommy, why is that man on the street corner yelling like that?" "Don't look at him. Just stay close to me. And let's go get an ice cream."

Exactly. If people can’t see the familiar choreography by now…..

Don Quixote is funny ways that I thought you weren't allowed to be in 17th-century Spain without being killed. It is a story for our times: A man who minted a masterpiece and then spent years struggling for control of his intellectual property. www.motherjones.com/media/2025/1...

TOTAL BACKFIRE: Pulitzer Prize Board just turned the tables on Trump. In his defamation lawsuit, they’re demanding his tax returns, financial records, and even medical & prescription history if he’s claiming damages. (Law&Crime)

I can’t handle the Truth Social post from Trump about Rob Reiner

Trump’s post about the murder of Rob and Michelle Reiner is perhaps the strongest indication yet that he is disintegrating before our eyes. And, even GOP members are condemning it. More on Substack: substack.com/@thefrankfig...

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.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

“Commercial breaks were largely filled with spots from direct-response advertisers, including the dietary supplement SuperBeets. “Viewers of of the telecast on WCBS, the CBS flagship in New York, saw a commercial for Chia Pet, the terra-cotta figure that sprouts plant life after a few weeks.”

The purpose of the United States Constitution is to limit the power of the Federal Government, not the American People. #Truth
