Read what the rich tech bros are trying to do to us: "A world where everyone knows their proper place, low on the pecking order w/ no assumptions of things like equal rights or inalienable human rights, brings social cohesion and eliminates strife." www.counterpunch.org/2025/11/07/m...

SURPRISE!! "Kristi Noem’s race to add 10,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents has become a 'circus' as sloppy vetting and massive bonuses have attracted a raft of bottom-of-the-barrel recruits—and even some suspected of having gang ties." www.thedailybeast.com/ice-barbies-...

Important too were his comments about how when people are struggling to stay "above water", they don't have the energy/focus to work together to maintain our democratic principles. By strengthening our quality of life, we will in turn strengthen our democracy.

NEW: Civil rights groups may ask SCOTUS to take up their challenge to Texas’s sweeping voter-suppression law. If the justices agree to hear it, the conservative majority could use the case to make future challenges to restrictive voting laws even more difficult.

Unlike many of his contemporaries, billionaire Jeff Yass is driven almost entirely by his commitment to promoting vouchers and other school choice programs. Here’s how one of the richest people on the planet uses politics to press his pet issue:

Of course it was a Trump supporter. Why would anyone else even bother?

EXCUSE ME?! Sue the hell out of them. This is a sitting member of Congress.

“Opinion commentator”. He admitted his entire career was based on telling a steady stream of lies, then got mocked for it all day. This is his response. ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

The timing of this DC bomber arrest seems so suspect, doesn't it?

An organization of historic levels of corruption — see: www.libraryjournal.com/review/red-c... — propping up an administration engaged in historic levels of corruption with a cartoonishly corrupt "prize." It was inevitable!

NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse. The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead. "Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender" Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue." 1/

As Republicans attempt to gerrymander their way to a 2026 election win, they’re encountering one big obstacle: the courts and voters. Now, the party is waging war on both by attacking voter-approved measures, threatening impeachment and more.

Suozzi: Prices are up. Why? Because of the tariffs. Prices are going up in health insurance because of the cancellation of the premium tax credits. Prices are going up in energy because there’s new demand for energy at the same time they cut supply.

Frank Gehry, who in the second half of the 20th century forged a new language in architecture, becoming one of the most famous architects of his time, has died at the age of 96, according to a spokesperson at Gehry Partners. https://cnn.it/4oEoblZ

The current Supreme Court has forfeited all legitimacy. Democrats (and everyone) need to address that reality. John Roberts > Roger Taney. Court needs to expand. And have fixed terms—like *every* other supreme court in developed world. And have ethics rules, like all normal organizations.

US federal judge orders release of Epstein grand jury materials

@npr it’s not a principle. It is a constitutional guarantee.

If you’re Donald Trump or one of his supporters, you get to crime with impunity knowing that anyone who attempts to hold you accountable for your criming will be punished.

Yeah, that didn't happen.

Not sure if Republicans will release Trump’s brain MRI to distract from the Epstein files, or announce he’s on the Epstein list to distract from how bad that MRI is.

Democrat: Video of Boat Strike One of “Most Troubling Things” He’s Ever Seen

Creators across every discipline are organizing the first mass public testimony for AI protection legislation in American history. Monday, Dec 8, writers, artists, musicians, photographers, and coders will testify at Stanford in support of #CAAB412 www.einpresswire.com/article/8722... #March2Testify

What's missing from this arrest affidavit, something that appears in ALL other January 6 affidavits, are data points showing that Brian Cole did ANYTHING between December 19, 2020, when Trump announced the rally and when he appears on Capitol Hill on January 5.

This is my big soap box. We gave the presidency too much power with the PATRIOT Act, extrajudicial drone strikes, indefinite detention and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. Trump is just using executive authority Congress gave to the presidency after 9/11 to maximum effect.

NEW: Two Chicago police officers were investigated for sexual misconduct — then promoted. It wasn’t an oversight. Despite a decades-long reform effort, the Chicago Police Department’s promotions system allows for disciplinary records to be ignored. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Pleased to speak with @gregsargent.bsky.social for this piece. It sounds like the two survivors were shipwrecked and directly targeted. If you accept the administration's bogus theory that there is an armed conflict (there isn't), then targeting the shipwrecked would be a war crime.

Experts urge release of boat strike video as US admiral denies ‘kill them all’ order
