Everyone should listen to Ezra Klein’s podcast in general, and this interview with Fareed Zakaria in particular.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

The wealthy commit fraud WAY MORE than the rest of us do. They also serve WAY LESS time in prison.

I know there’s a phrase that perfectly describes what’s going on here but gosh darn it I’m blanking on it Maybe we can crowdsource this. The best I can come up with is I think it may rhyme with or sound something like “anti-magnetic lyco-bath.” Can anyone help?

Trump and Musk play Hungar Games. Americans must be united to show them the End Game.

The economic black out is tomorrow. I'm participating.

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

FFS, all this is so goddamn humiliating, day after day We look like effing children in the eyes of the world No, worse—infants, literal babies

Another week, another Friday night massacre. Interim US Attorney Ed Martin -- an election denialist and champion of pardons for J6 offenders-- sends letter arriving just before 5 pm firing dozens of prosecutors who worked on the January 6 prosecutions. Breathtaking corruption and pettiness.

There is absolutely zero justification to slap 25% tariffs on Canada. None whatsoever. I get how the dipshits can make their arguments about other countries with their half-assed arguments, but the Canada tariffs are madness. Complete insanity.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Our beloved Canada is under threat. The threat comes from the president of the US—a convicted felon and known predator. But the threat is also being driven by the hate algorithms of oligarchs like Elon Musk….

American auto stocks plummeted after the White House confirmed it’ll impose 25% tariffs on Mexico & Canada tomorrow (and 10% on China). The trade barriers spell disaster for US automakers, whose supply chains are deeply entwined with our North American neighbors.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Totalitarianism won't grow in a healthy society with a functional government and a robust economy. 🍊💩🤡 did not inherit a broken nation, so he has to break it in order to become the dictator he wants to be.

Jessica: He had a campaign rally in the middle of what should have been a somber occasion. And these DEI policies were put in place in 2013. He had every opportunity through his first administration to revoke them if he thought they were terrible, but he didn't.

Senator Adam Schiff torched Kash Patel: "Mr. Patel may be, I don't know, but he may be the first nominee for FBI Director in history who felt it necessary to plead the 5th." BOOM! 🔥

Fanone: There’s a lot of John Fettermans in the world and unfortunately, that’s why we’re in the predicament that we’re in

Told ya. They're going after veterans' benefits.

The kid from Scranton who kicked the ass of the bully from Queens is giving his farewell address tonight.

@repjasmine.bsky.social: "Number one, [Nancy Mace] is an unserious lawmaker. And number two, that she will do anything for clicks and anything for money." Watch the full interview: youtu.be/WBg_t7ZFsLo

It shouldn't be difficult to commit to preserving the evidence from the Special Counsel’s January 6th investigation. And yet...

Is there any doubt that MAGA share 45’s values and morals?

"To get access to the candlelight dinner with Trump and the vice-president’s dinner with Vance, donors would need to have contributed at the $1m level. A $500,000 contribution would limit access to only the candlelight dinner, unlike in 2017..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Russia's gray market oil sales just took a mighty hit only two weeks after Ukraine turned off the spigot on $6.5 billion in annual gas revenues. Putin might be starting to sweat...

Outrageous! This needs to blow up. They want to throw out 60,000 votes and steal the state Supreme Court election in NC!

Mad men…

NEW: They’re already trying to cut social security. Dems in the senate saved it.

CNN Fact-Checks Trump’s Claims Daniel Dale debunked Trump’s false claims: no link between vaccines and autism, tariffs were paid by Americans, U.S. inflation hit 8% under his term, and wars in Yemen, Syria, and elsewhere continued. Misinformation on key issues misleads the public and erodes trust.

12 years since Sandy Hook and still, we're mourning lives lost to mass shootings. ➡️Over 1.2 million Americans shot ➡️480,000 killed by guns ➡️5,400+ mass shooting incidents. NO MORE "thoughts and prayers". We want action. Repeat after me: #EndGunViolenceNow

Gun violence is the NUMBER ONE cause of death for children and teens in the US. Not car crashes. Not cancer. It's guns. Schools should be sites of learning for our kids, not centers of carnage. It's still the guns.

Republicans + NRA are the major problems to human lives in America. Fuck all who are against gun control and reform.

As you process the devastating news that another tragic shooting took the lives of at least 3 innocent people in Wisconsin, remember the shooter didn't act alone. He was assisted by 222 House members, 49 Senators, and the NRA.

Our country should be very shameful. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Drones exist. This doesn’t mean they’re Iran, alien, or sniffing out nukes. The existence of a drone doesn’t prove the above theory. All the videos are planes

As someone who is surrounded by folks who value a private school education & Ivy League degree, I’m proud to say my public school experience (including community college) was exceptional. Not everybody has to spend tens of thousands towards their education & put themselves in debt to be successful.

Trump promised cheaper groceries, but MAGA’s about to find out: once prices are up, they’re not coming down. Just ask him. “It’s very hard.” – Trump

Why? www.cnn.com/2024/12/10/m...

Markwayne Mullin on Hegseth’s drinking: TAPPER: Drinking at 10 in the morning, that’s a drinking problem. MULLIN: Yeah & there’s probably a lot of media that has a drinking problem too. TAPPER: A drunk reporter who is drinking at 10 AM…is not in charge of the 3 million person defense department.💥

Maybe Tulsi Gabbard can let Assad stay at her house, since they are pals.

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit. But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it. Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

Elon can suck a bag of lemons. Who is this guy who immigrated here illegally to tell us how to care for our seniors?

Can’t say I’m surprised. Or sorry.
