Wow. Brian May kills it.

This is the best left leaning new roundup on the net. Check it out! www.youtube.com/live/o8A21FK...

Donald Trump and JD Vance are laying the groundwork for a possible constitutional crisis where the Administration rejects a lawful court order. We cannot sit idly by. We cannot allow them to subvert our constitutional system.

Have you no sense of decency, Susan Collins?

This Trump Administration is going to be so so so bad and everyone with actual power is just caving before he even steps into office

My mother's had breast cancer, hip replacement, sepsis, fractured back, stroke, shingles, and cataracts. My father had idiopathic nocturnal seizures, tachycardia, heart incidents, and cataracts. Hospital bill? Absolutely nothing. American politicans are lying to you about American healthcare. 🏥

Elon Musk didn't come to the US on a H1B visa. He came on a J-1 student visa, failed to get a work visa, and worked in the country illegally. He claims to have later gotten a H1B visa without providing any proof. Like Melania Trump, he used money to make his history of illegal immigration go away.

If up to RFK Jr., we will never have this success again. Thank you, Trump voters.

I'm relieved that Congress and Biden are laser-focused on the most pressing matters in these last days before a malevolent sociopath takes over the reins of our country. www.axios.com/2024/12/25/b...

Reminder.

A fair question.

GOOD LORD CNN, WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU Threatening to take over the Panama Canal, annex Canada and force a purchase of Greenland isn't "teasing expansion" It's contemplating unprovoked armed conflict-and against our allies, no less! This is what Putin does! YOU'RE NORMALIZING A POTENTIAL WAR

CNN is hopelessly broken. 1. This "expansion" would require military invasions of several allies in violation of international law. 2. It would violate several treaties. 3. The Louisiana Purchase was the sale of land by a colonial power (France). These are sovereign nations.

A “territorial extension”? What the fuck, CNN???

from today's post — link is here: bit.ly/41OdXYg

I wrote about how Congress has turned into a senior center. How many AOCs are never elected because 80-year-olds refuse to step down? How many young lawmakers don’t acquire leadership roles — and miss out on years of experience — because seniority is prized above anything else?

Every single time when I see the dumbest of my former classmates on social media

The $600,000,000 about to be obscenely squandered on this second marriage could have funded the pediatric cancer research that was cut by Republicans in Congress for 47 years.

And yet we’re over-reacting when we call them fascist.

Where is the Musk/Trump partnership headed? Spontaneous combustion.

Knock-knock. Who's there? Nobel. Nobel who? Nobel, that's why I knocked.

This applies to all privatization. If your state or city is outsourcing things to private industry, you're paying more. You should be asking why. Sometimes it's legitimate, they may not have the specialized knowledge needed or the equipment. But for other stuff, ask "Why can't you do this in house?"

Yeah, and we didn't prosecute the ring leader either. As a matter of fact, we just put him in the White House. Nothing makes sense anymore.

agree with this take, but the key is that you have to use the leverage as David says

Hey Democrats and "pro-democracy" media: why not join me in addressing the elephant in the room? Turns out We the People are not okay with steamrolling towards an illegal presidency that's going to destroy it all.... My latest on Trump's enduring disqualification: youtu.be/gOXsuiyWu4w

The markets react to the Elon Musk government shutdown

It will amuse me when Elon finally realizes the government shutdown he is orchestrating will stop payments on his various contracts with the government.

Me thinks that the rich are still in the "Fuck Around" phase of the FAFO principle... they are testing how much we, the people can tolerate.

Wrote this at the other place after a mass shooting in the United States. Can't remember which one. There have been so many since.

OMG, another fucking school shooting, this one in Madison, WI. Seven people shot, three deceased. We are the only so-called civilized society on the planet in which this is a recurring problem. IT. IS. THE. FUCKING. GUNS.

JOURNALISM 101 RULE: If someone says it’s raining, and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the fucking window and find out which is true. — Now more than ever.

ABC has just done a major disservice to ALL media outlets. They just gave Trump the green light to go after anyone who dare criticize him. Their capitulation will have chilling effects on the free press extending far beyond this incident. So irresponsible.
