Biden: So, folks, that's my message to all of us today, to all who love our country, to all of us are dismayed by the present state of the union: it's time to get up, get up and fight back. Get up. Continue to fight. What's the fight all about? Protecting the constitution.

Today, we fined X for non-compliance with transparency obligations under the DSA. We're holding X accountable for: 🔹Deceptive design of its ‘blue checkmark’ 🔹Lack of transparency of its advertising repository 🔹Failure to provide access to public data for researchers link.europa.eu/bcmC87

As I have been lamenting for years, the clear erroneous standard for District Court findings of fact has been rendered null & void by this Court. Justice Kagan in dissent: “We are a higher court than the District Court, but we are not a better one when it comes to making such a fact-based decision.”

As Jared Kushner prepares to meet with Putin today on behalf of Trump, REMEMBER: After taking billions from the Saudis and other foreign governments, Kushner explicitly said he would not have a foreign policy role in this administration. popular.info/p/jared-kush...

Scoop: They tried to bury this news on Black Friday, but, well... Trump crypto partner Alt5 Sigma told the SEC its auditor quit in Nov. We called the auditor. He resigned in August. That's the second SEC filing with an apparent conflict that Alt5 Sigma has made in recent weeks. 1/

Who’s gonna tell ‘em

Prediction: Some will seize on the shooting to try to pull Dems back to a position of cowardice on Trump's deportations, and Stephen Miller will scam dimwit commentators into making this case as well, but what happened ultimately won't dent public disapproval of the raids/arrests in the slightest.

The MAGA mob bosses took over.

"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I guess I am not a Christian, can't forgive MTG for creating fascist state.

I used to handle interlibrary loans for a public library. ILL is a magnificent expression of the idea that readers deserve books, and books deserve readers. It’s libraries everywhere pooling their resources for the benefit of everyone. Killing IMLS could have killed ILL. This is great news. 📚

Breaking News: A federal judge found that the presence of more than 2,000 National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., was unlawful.

And Martinez has FAR fewer resources than Jim Comey does. She was courageous and her lawyer kicks ass. But it's still an incredible trauma for a life, even ignoring the bullet wounds.

Were I a pettier person (ahem), I would take some pleasure in the fact that, despite their titanic efforts, no one really gave a shit about Kirk or took up the offer to make him a martyr. Instead the RW vultures, most notably his *own wife*, immediate descended & started picking over the remains.

JARED BERNSTEIN: “.. Manufacturing is in a real slump, with emp down 5 months in row, down 94K over past year. We haven’t seen such trends outside of recessions for years. “.. Trump’s fingerprints are on this trend. It turns out that making factory production more expensive is bad for jobs.”

I’m howling.

Oops

Taking down Trump isn’t even political anymore, it’s about taking down a transnational criminal organization operating at the highest echelons of US government and putting our international security at extreme risk.

Welcome to the loophole.

NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court. Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

Stop whatever you're doing and read this piece by @pemalevy.bsky.social & @ariberman.bsky.social laying out how John Roberts has spent his entire adult life constructing the scaffolding for Trump's authoritarian takeover, and why he's so invested in rigging the system to continue to help Trump.

The D.C. Circuit has cleared Judge Boasberg to proceed with his stalled contempt proceeding against DOJ. And the counterattack by MAGA DOJ is already underway.

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism. Got it.

Greg Bovino is leading a rebel cavalry terrorizing America—and it's important to recognize that it's in retreat. While the trauma and terror Bovino’s raiders instill is real and damaging, it’s remarkable to note how ineffective the force has turned out to be. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-bord...

The White House fired a sensible FEMA chief in May and replaced with an unqualified loyalist — who just resigned after six unfortunate months on the job. It’s hardly unreasonable to wonder if the agency can survive Trump’s second term. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

NEW: A federal judge ordered the DOJ to provide former FBI Director James Comey with all materials it presented to a grand jury for his two-count indictment, citing "substantive irregularities" he found that may constitute "misconduct" by the DOJ.

My insurance premiums, with a Silver plan, are going to go from $706 tp $1,093 next year. Big shout out to everyone in the Dem coalition who sat that last election out because Harris wasn't your cuppa tea!

A did a video on the import of Jim Comey's claims that Kash Patel's FBI didn't get (new) warrants for their investigation into him. If he proves this, it should be a glaring warning for every Trump target who has ever been investigated by DOJ. www.youtube.com/watch?v=auQZ...

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

Trump plans to sue the BBC despite the apology. Shouldn’t have apologised.

One of the things I worry most about is the Trump administration actually believes the things they say on TV.

LAWSUIT WIN: Trump’s rule preventing DACA recipients, asylum seekers, asylees, refugees, and other immigrants from obtaining commercial driver’s licenses is now HALTED while our lawsuit proceeds. This decision gives 200,000 immigrants a chance to keep working.
