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...

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

Dutch intelligence suspends sharing arrangements with the US after concluding that high level intel was routinely being shared by the White House with their friends in the Kremlin. www.volkskrant.nl/binnenland/n...

My list of disabled StartUp apps and processes is going to be so so long.

"You'll laugh your heads off!" Look at these fucking assholes.

Cuomo could never.

A Black teen named Kalief Browder was falsely accused of stealing a backpack. He spent 3 years tortured at Rikers & died by suicide A wealthy white man named Tom Homan was caught by FBI accepting bribes. He was promoted to a powerful law enforcement position This is what white supremacy looks like

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

A man very recently called for “involuntary lethal injection” for the mentally ill and the unhoused. Literally talking about murdering other humans—and he still kept his job. Brian Killmeade, Fox & Friends.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

This was a word AND he cussed 😂

Little kids are having to use their bodies to shield friends from gunfire while armed soldiers are busy picking up trash.

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.

It’s about racism and pretending it’s not about racism will not magically erase the racism

Since @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is so concerned about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social housing maybe he should address his own property tax bill of just $213 a year thanks to a sweetheart deal he supported when he served in the state Assembly that will last through 2032. nypost.com/2022/01/23/r...

So Mamdani, who is not in power, is being criticized for a shooting that happened while Eric Adams is mayor. And the policies that were in effect during this shooting are not the ones that Mamdani supports but his policies are bad anyway, because reasons. Got it.

MAGAs will pay ICE fascists a six figure income—but not teachers. They’ll increase military spending $150B—but cut $500M from PBS. They’ll spend $300M on Trump golfing—but not on lunch for hungry kids. The Party of “life and liberty” is only pro war and tyranny, all to uphold MAGA white supremacy

Hunter Biden has a point. And a quite colorful one.

Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates “like dogs”, per a report from Human Rights Watch

This is not complicated, folks. www.discourseblog.com/p/people-don...

During a debate titled "One Christian vs. Twenty Atheists," Jordan Peterson loses by forgetting what side he’s on

Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?

Just incredible

The FBI just arrested a sitting judge.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

owning a small business in 2025…

“We need to get better at treating this like a business,” Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said, explaining he wants to see a deportation process “like (Amazon) Prime, but with human beings.”

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

Holy cow! I had no idea. Thanks for shining a light on this. techpolicy.press/substack-fou...

He fired the black chairman of the joint chiefs for being woke and hired his brother.

Absolutely vile

every college, corporate, and nonprofit president right now

If the Senate Democrats do this, yes, it’s a massive betrayal of their base and an unconscionable abdication of their duty. Every single one of them who’s complicit in this scheme needs to be driven out of politics forever.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Columbia grad student with a green card and a pregnant US citizen wife, abducted by ICE because of his political organizing, and now his lawyers can't find him. Hey, @schumer.senate.gov. This is your constituent. Bring him back home.
