Trump and Musk are a living monument to the worst excesses of human nature—an exhausting blend of arrogance, ignorance, greed, selfishness, narcissism, and the kind of misplaced confidence that has already fueled a thousand horrible decisions that will ultimately hurt millions of everyday Americans.

That’s the problem. We’ve been standing by for too long.

I’m sorry. You can’t conduct “peace talks” with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine without Ukraine at the table.

They have trashed valuable products your tax money paid for.

Gotta love the British press.

Ah, the faces of cowardice.

“Trump appears determined to test if he can squander the goodwill he has, and when he does, it will only serve to reinforce what many already know: his leadership is a clear and present danger to the principles that hold this nation together.” My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-honeym...

Millions of people voted for Trump to fix an economy that isn't broken, and in doing so are going to tank it. Super work, kids...

“Blue Cross Blue Shield in Connecticut, New York and Missouri has declared it will no longer pay for anesthesia for the full length of some surgeries. It the procedure goes over a certain time, anesthesia will not be covered for the duration.” Welcome to the nightmare.

Can we please get back to holding the INCOMING president’s feet to the fire —someone who will take the oath of office in two months but clearly doesn’t give a shit about upholding the oath of office?!

To be fair to Pete Hegseth, I too at previous and current jobs have showed up to them in the morning still smelling of alcohol and looking in rooouuuuugggh shape. I am also not in the running to be Secretary of Defense

Legacy media.

Donald Trump and his team have continued to refuse critical transition documents with the GSA because they don't want their nominees to undergo FBI background checks. Senators should vote NO on any nominee who is not vetted by the FBI. Pass it on.

Here’s a crazy idea. Let’s make sure the proposed new FBI Director can pass an FBI Background Check.

"The nomination of Kash Patel is Trump’s most brazen bid to criminalize resistance and crush dissent. He's manifestly unfit. In a sane world, senators would laugh him out of the room. But sanity is now in the rearview mirror and receding from view."

Now, President Biden needs to spend the next month using every bit of power he has to protect America and its people from the most corrupt and lawless cadre of ghouls on their way in.

It is exhausting having to research and figure out everything from black plastics to best ventilation practices to COVID vaccine schedules, I know this is a wild idea but have we thought about creating publicly funded government bodies that could manage and regulate this stuff on our behalf

No words.

I just made this. Thoughts?

Do you ever get the feeling that Republicans stopped caring about you the second you exited your mother’s womb?

If Donald Trump’s goal is to break the FBI and turn it into an instrument of revenge, Kash Patel is the perfect nominee to run it, @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes:

These are the streets of Georgia now, resisting Russia. When Trump tries do what he is already threatening, this will be what the streets of DC will look like and I will be on the frontlines with you. We will never obey in advance, or ever.

Patel is a conspiracy theorist even by the standards of MAGA world. Like other senior Trump nominees, his primary qualification for the job appears to be his willingness to do Trump’s bidding without hesitation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Trump is doing exactly what we knew he would—handpicking nominees who will toe the line in his authoritarian quest. We have a conspiracy theorist and election denier with no qualifications except undying loyalty to Trump as nominee for FBI director. PLEASE MEET OUR LATEST NIGHTMARE— KASH PATEL

Trump noms ordered by how urgent it is they be stopped: By Any Means 🟥 Patel 🟥 Kennedy Jr. 🟥 Gabbard 🟥 Hegseth 🟥 Bondi 🟥 Bhattacharya 🟥 Huckabee 🟥 Whitaker 🟥 Vought By Almost Any Means 🟧 McMahon 🟧 Blanche 🟧 Oz 🟧 Noem 🟧 Stefanik Try Hard 🟨 Wright 🟨 Zeldin 🟨 Bessent 🟨 Phelan 🟨 Greer Pass it on.

They say Elon Musk doesn’t have original ideas; he just copies other people’s ideas and puts money behind them to make them better, while he stiffs the original creators.

Donald trump, convicted felon, appointed Charles Kushner, also a convicted felon, to be his US Ambassador to France. What an embarrassing clown show America has become.

Kash Patel has openly expressed his plans to “come after” journalists he doesn’t like. He is for retribution, not justice. This is from my book, #RoughBeast:

RFK Jr. is a fraud. Always has been.

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum continues to strike back against Trump.

Trump was the worst president in the history of our country—and we chose him again.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

These are the members of ‘The Village People,’ the musical group that made the song ‘YMCA.’

“‘I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.’” www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/u...

Contemplation for today…. if you LIKE IT give it 💙and plz RP😘😘

Trump spent Thanksgiving sitting like a schlub at Mar-a-Lago while Kamala Harris spent the day prepping food for underprivileged DC’s school children. If you think I’d regret my vote for her for one second you are out of your mind.

This is VERY telling.

Everyone knows by now that what they taught us in school about Thanksgiving was bullshit, right? A lie, because the truth was so horrific we’d question EVERYTHING about the founding of this country. Book banning is real now, but whitewashing history was always real.

Dedicated to all those enjoying good food at other people’s houses today
