The DOW has dropped more than 1,100 points only 13 times in American history. 10 of them have happened under Donald Trump.

Chris Krebs is America’s next profile in courage. The entire nation should support this honorable and courageous fellow citizen.

Can states withhold the tax revenue we would otherwise send to the feds so we can inspect our own goddamned food? www.cbsnews.com/news/fda-foo...

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

The administration is looking for “nuclear verification” in a deal with Iran, meaning that they apparently won’t be trying to get Iran to stop enriching uranium completely. You know, kinda like we had in the JCPOA that Trump pulled out of in his first term. Absolute clown show.

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

OMG WTAF

this honestly goes a long way toward explaining why the coverage of the Biden administration was so egregiously terrible

Elon Musk's and X's Role in 2024 Election Interference, a letter from an alleged X whistleblower. "What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations." theconcernedbird.substack.com/p/elon-musks...

We are in real time chaos now. My partner runs a research lab at Mayo Clinic funded primarily via the NIH, He’s #5 in the world in aging research & expertise & on multiple review boards ensuring funds go to crucial research. #NIH #NCI We are both in tears @mayocliniccancer.bsky.social

I hear there are stories coming, but putting the brakes on our country’s world-leading medical research system feels like a five alarm fire and I don’t see a newspaper that even has it on the front page yet

Of course he's not going to comply with the Impoundment Control Act.

Wow — Speaker Sexton now requiring tickets for ALL access to the gallery at the TN House, claiming it “ensures access for all”🤔 Expelling legislators… filling a roped off rotunda with troopers… keeping us out of pressers… requiring tickets… Watch Authoritarianism work.

I’m hearing from constituents whose jobs are at risk because they do agency outreach to minority communities. Consider what this means for public health, national security, agriculture and justice. The war on DEI has become a war on public service and government for all.

Check out my latest, I decided to make this available to everyone because it's too important for people not to hear. 9 mins if you can spare harrydunn.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

Andy Ogles: He has no idea how the Constitution works, but at least he wants Obama to be able to run for POTUS in 2028.

Melania Trump rejected First Lady Jill Biden’s invitation for an official White House meeting. This is a decades-long tradition that was broken in 2020 by Melania refusing to meet with Dr. Biden. REPOST if you are proud to call Dr. Biden our First Lady!

This is who we are. And it’s not pretty. I mean, talk about lack of humanity. www.lpm.org/news/2024-12...

With a government shutdown looming, one thing that was in the package that has increased the quality of life of people on Medicare is telehealth. Without funding by December 31st telehealth will no longer be available for millions of Americans. That breaks my heart not only for me but for millions!đź’”

GOP extremists want House Democrats to raise the debt ceiling so that House Republicans can lower the amount of your Social Security check. Hard pass.

BREAKING: Matt Gaetz has WITHDRAWN from consideration for attorney general.

Below is one of the best threads on how to move forward in the face of fascism that I’ve seen to date. It is worth reading in full even if—especially if—it makes you uncomfortable:

Billionaire grifters are about to dismantle your government. So instead of your tax dollars going to your Medicare or your Medicaid or your affordable care act or to veterans benefits or your social security - it will go to THEM in the form of tax cuts for the wealthy.
