"Centrists" (i.e. on corporate donor payrolls) who refused to endorse Mamdani can't demand automatic support, especially in primaries. They decided they would pick and chose which Democrats to support- and progressives will do the same in 2026 primaries. www.cnn.com/2025/12/21/p...

"I have a strong opinion on this subject" is fine - but I wrote it in 30 minutes at a friends house with none of the course texts referenced is the definition of a failing grade on an assignment. But the rightwing doesn't actually care about merit, just fragile cis white egos getting hurt.

Blue States need to secede from United States. This is not a nation, but a mafia operation- and if one party is going to attack blue states whenevery they regain power, this is not nation worth being part of. Rest of GOP leadership is not denouncing this so this is the GOP- now and for the future.

Trump named multiple times in Epstein releases and CBS tries to spike story on Trump's human rights abuses against immigrants. And Hakeem Jeffries has mentioned NEITHER in any posts in the last week. Just same robotic messaging day after day.

Here is Epstein himself saying Trump was a pedophile just like Epstein and molester Larry Nassar. That he was sharing such thoughts in letters while in prison might be why Epstein soon "committed suicide"

Jeffries once again protecting corruption in the House by undercutting a bipartisan bill that is moving towards getting majority of the House. Just terrible, terrible leader. prospect.org/2025/12/19/j...

Right response by Clinton Release it all and let people decide how bad Clinton' Epstein connection is. Anyone else mentioned who does not ask for the same should be assumed to be a pedophile.

The fight for Ukraine is a fight against pure corporate oligarchy divvying up the world in a series of backroom corporate deals.

Lot of GOP seats or some purplish seats where Conway would be interesting candidate- but a former GOP operative running in one of the most liberal seats in the country seems like a waste of energy. But will hype his clout for future activities & revenue streams www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Worth emphasizing how intractable these factional differences are- representing not a spectrum but hard yes-no oppositon * Pro-Ukraine v pro-Russia * Israel v anti-Israel * Pro-tech oligarchy v anti-tech * (Conservative) rule of law v imperial Presidency * Pro-jew v Jews-run-world

Weiss says nothing new or interesting in 60 Minutes story. That she thinks new testimony from the survivors is not "news" but only statements from the Trump administration counts as "news" tells you all you need to know about Bari Weiss.

Most interesting aspect of Heritage meltdown is we are seeing hard factions appearing: * TPUSA & techbros lining up with Vance * Traditionalists & neocons lining up with Mike Pence * Tucker Carlson, Fuentes and white nationalists * MTG doing own MAGA thing www.nationalreview.com/news/exclusi...

Polygraph results are not gospel- but fact the career staff are being sanctioned for discovering incoming Cybersecurity (CISA) agency head couldn't pass one reinforces suspicion we have people serving illegitimate outside interests running our national security. electionlawblog.org?p=153606

Trump admin caught redacting Trump's name from document that mentions him as involved in Epstein's abuse of women Doc had previously been publicly released - but Trump censors seem to be ignoring that and just censoring any mention of Trump in the release. saltypolitics.substack.com/p/breaking-e...

Powerful statement by 60 Minutes lead on story on how CBS is directly letting Trump censor news at the channel. CBS is now government-run propaganda and should be treated as such by American viewers and foreign governments.

Subhead here is a lie. Left was bitterly disappointed Goldman, most conservative of prominent candidates, won the primary with a plurality because progressive candidates divided the vote. Getting 26% of vote in Dem primary should not mean a House seat for life. www.cnn.com/2025/12/21/p...

Trump and the GOP are literally a death cult- murdering their voters with policies to deny health coverage and other supports to them. Covid just revealing a longer-running trend of policy-driven illness and death being associated with pro-Trump and pro-GOP voting patterns.

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

Need a large and organized movement pledging to cancel any HBOMax account if bought by Paramount/CBS Make it economically suicidal for HBOMax to agree to a merger, whatever pressure Trump puts on them. Make them default to staying independent if can't merge with anyone else. I so pledge.

Lots of corporate censorship in modern US broadcast history but really has never been such clear subserviance to an individual President by a media outlet as CBS is now showing. CBS is a journalistic joke at this point. ca.news.yahoo.com/60-minutes-p...

No Dem white leader has ever apologized for being white. Some have apologized on behalf of nation and its history for wrongs done in the past And here's the racist syllogism- Vance thinks America is inherently white so apologizing for its past crimes is apologizing for being a white nation.

Majority of Americans not have "No trust at all" in the Supreme Court. It is less trusted than almost all other institutions, including the US Congress. So all the poll-driven moderates will now support expanding the Supreme Court, right? Right?

Just bizarre GOP thinks anyone would want experience of buying homeowner insurance - which has seen complaints of ripping off customers when disaster strikes along with exploding premiums in recent years. So no, no one is complaining they can't buy health insurance from an emu.

Every clip of anything from CBS now is complete hackery. Ellison-Weiss takeover makes it such a joke of a news operation now.

I wish the TWU put the effort instead into legislation demanding twice as many trains with more frequent service - and to hire twice as many train operators, which would lead to as much employment as half as many trains with two employees on each.

GOP try to claim Obamacare increased health care costs- but in fact recent years have seen overall far lower medical inflation than during the 1970s, 80s and much of the 1990s. Difference is that Americans are actually able to afford those increases because of Obamacare.

Love how racist Tim Pool is complaining Candace Owens is embarassing real rightwing racists - and her bizarre conspiracy mongering is clearly a conspiracy by the left using its control of Google to undermine the nationalist Right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_Pe...

Sixth Amendment continues to be the most important Amendment in the Constitution for justice and freedom.

We collect money for public services at tax time. Why spend transit employee effort on a second round that just slows boarding? Why treat transit differently from public schools, libraries or public parks?

Media should repeat this over and over. US made an agreement with Ukraine to protect them from exactly what Russia did. Every country is learning from Trump: get your own nukes since every promise by the US is shit.

Ben Shapiro is ideological pestilence but... Candace Owens is a straight up Nazi And this is being mainlined into an immense base of her followers Jewish leaders allying with rightwing over Israel are going to find the ovens being built sooner than they think

We've seen this one. 14 year old Trump & Epstein made uncomfortable. Trump is a Child-Rapist, his name is on almost Every Page

Ironic if Bill Clinton ends up collecting massive payout in defamation lawsuits due to this.

Protecting the pedophiles is the opposite of what the law demanded. Since he released information on Bill Clinton, this clearly refers to himself or one of his political allies. So his whole administration is run by and financed by pedophiles

‘I have a female for him’

Effective Jan 1, 2026, minimum wage in State of Washington will be $17.13/hr Jan 1, 2026, Seattle’s will be $21.30/hr And on Jan 1, 20 states will still have minimum wage of $7.25/hr Inc: AL,GA, ID, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, MS, NH, NC, ND, OK, PA, SC, TN, TX, UT, WI & WY ogletree.com/insights-res...

Health care policy should be simple- decide who pays the bills in taxes and rules on what services will be paid for. We make this complicated by creating endless middlemen, so we are regulating insurance companies who set rules for benefits managers who set rules for providers. A mess.

As a union person steeped in Flint GM sitdown strike history, there's a lot of sadness in recognizing that-with the Big Three and UAW to large extent throwing in with Trump's anti-EV agenda- the US car industry will be largely irrelevant in a decade or so. A tragedy. insideevs.com/features/782...

"Donald Trump...Memorial Center for the Performing Arts" Is he dead now? Please? Seriously. The audacity of a living person attaching their name to a "memorial" building is beyond the beyond. They couldn't even get a matching typeface, the incompetents.

Funny how they can move so fast to illegally put Trump's name on the Kennedy Center, but so slow to release all the instances of Trump's name all over the Epstein files.

Ranting about discrimination against white men is crazy-making when every drop of actual data that exists shows continual racism and sexism in hiring across the economy. "But I have an anecdote"- yep, no doubt instances of bias exist against white men, but overall face far LESS discrimination.

Lot of rhetoric about gender discrimination against men- but reality is at EVERY AGE GROUP, men make more than women Including young men who are supposedly losing out to women because of bias against them

This story is the immigration story writ large: an enormous set of hard-working immigrants contributing to our country and a far smaller subset of bad actors - the latter of which racists like Trump point to in order to obscure the contributions of immigrants like MIT's Nuno Loureiro

Brilliant MIT professor pioneering fusion research was an immigrant from Portugal So reaction of Trump admin is to further shut down immigration to make sure same mistake of recruiting brilliant researchers to our country doesn't happen again www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Hochul looks to protect US billionaires from disclosing use of LLC front groups to launder money & evade taxes. Highlights despite some public noises to look more anti-Trump, Hochul's core politics is as a servant to the wealthy. Needs to be primaried out in 2026. nysfocus.com/2025/12/17/l...

Insane fricking Mitt Romney is complaining about how Trump's tariffs are regressive and hurt working Americans and we need taxes increases on the wealthy to deal with budget issues. Reinforces Trump was never "populist" turn from Romney; just a racist dog whistle. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/o...

If we keep transgirls out of womens sports to protect "normal" girls chance to compete, shouldn't we keep mutants like this out of mens sports to protect "normal" mens chance to compete? And get mutant tall people out of basketball to give normal height men a chance? www.nytimes.com/athletic/685...

Basically the TikTok sale is a bit like the Chinese Firewall- but US corporate version Soon we'll see US GenZers using VPNs to sign up with global TikTok to escape US corporate control of US TikTok algorithms

General mockery of Trump's small penis and need to have buildings named after him is in order at this point. Most Americans will put this in the same category as the Reiner remarks- just reflecting the complete void at the heart of Trump's basic character

Dems should be pounding on this that the failure to indict means his accusations are lies - and that failure shows it's hard to get a fake indictment, which means his own indictments indicate he is guilty of multiple felonies. Good message- and will also put him on political tilt.
