🧵Let’s get real. While we all know 🍊💩 will lie and take credit for all of this, what both Mexico and Canada have announced is what they are already doing. This gives Trump a reason to gloat to his cult that he made these countries capitulate. apnews.com/article/trum...

The side by side of the Trump family reacting to what was essentially a message of loving your neighbor is quite something. (1/3)

There is no such thing as the “Department of Government Efficiency” IT DOES NOT EXIST. First, Trump is not president yet. Second, presidents cannot create departments on their own, without Congressional approval. Anyone saying otherwise is LYING — or FAILING at their jobs.

I can’t wait until Trump decides that President Musk is stealing too much of the spotlight and jettisons him The resulting explosion will make the launch of Musk’s rockets seem lilliputian in comparison And it feels like constantly referring to Trump as second banana can only speed up the process

Once again, my Senator is spot on. đź’Żđź’Ż

Hey Canadian friends, How y'all feel about this insanity!? #resist

Ben Wikler is a very smart guy and step one, as a prelude to and eventually along side more robust, explicitly pro-Dem messaging/media, has to be having Dems be willing to go on these shows and break some eggs.

Luigi Mangione was the valedictorian of his high school class. Here’s his speech.

**Good News** The Supreme Court has once again declined to remove the gag order placed on President-elect Donald Trump in his hush-money case. Conservative Justice Samuel Alito rejected the request on the court’s behalf. (Via New Republic)

WaPo has 7 stories up about Hunter Biden pardon (which would include his alleged lie to Congress about business w/CEFC in 2018, when Biden was no longer VP and not yet running for POTUS), but is not interested in Trump just getting $18M free and clear WHILE POTUS-elect.

Jeffrey Toobin: “Biden’s pardon for his son dishonors the office.“ I am so sick of these fucking talking heads. I am so sick of CNN. I am so sick of these self defeating assholes. Our freedom is on the line and these guys are in-fucking-capable of focusing on what’s at stake. FUCK.

Maddow: That is the behavior on January 6th that Trump is praising and promising to use the pardon power for. So, yeah, tell me all about the scandal of the use of the pardon power.

Thanks to @yarkot.bsky.social for creating this Ukraine supporters Starter Pack Many great follows here! go.bsky.app/V7kXbWB

She gets it

Everyday Democrats are working together to push back on Donald Trump’s extremism and win back the halls of Congress in 2026. Here’s an incredible list of leaders working tirelessly to win. Give them all a follow. go.bsky.app/3mLbEbu

@potus has better start playing HARDBALL and pardon everyone Trump has said he will come after. Including the entire Justice Department, all Generals and political commentators. Literally wipe the floor clean. Force Trump to renounce all pardons! He’s stupid enough to do it.

Joe Biden would not have pardoned Hunter if anyone else had been elected president. Under the circumstances, he did what any loving father would do. Why anyone is upset is beyond me. After all, these aren’t normal times, right?

A reminder that the orange convicted felon dangled and sold pardons to his biggest loyalists and is planning to pardon the most dangerous criminals, so if you’re upset about President Biden issuing a pardon for his son you can just shut all the way the fuck up.

Oliver has it exactly right. The propositions that Donald Trump is a pathologically lying conspiracy theorist, and that defending him (as the cases of Jennings and many others we know have long illustrated) necessitates mendacity, are provable and proven facts, not tendentious opinions.

Reminder: Liz Cheney, Joe Walsh, and other Republicans/conservatives who oppose Trump are "right-leaning voices." Scott Jennings, Lindsey Graham, and other Republicans/conservatives who support Trump are fascist-leaning voices. Note the difference.

The subtext of every Elon tweet is “God you guys are so easy to manipulate”

Time to give @bluesky props. As I write this, there are 560 quotes and replies to the post below. Of those only 4 call me names and give me shit. About 15 do the same towards Trump. The remaining 541 are on topic and add value. đź‘Źđź‘Źđź‘Źđź‘Źđź‘Ź

At least we will have some good reading.

This is what happens when a woman is in charge of a country Bravo, Madam President

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike. I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it. Because I want to live in a thinking human world over some AI generated slop dystopia

Writing a new book with conspiracy theories as its primary focus. I’d hoped that the chapter(s) dealing with Trump could all be written in the past tense. Hard to believe that we are going down this path again.

BREAKING As expected, President-elect Trump says he intends to nominate Dr. Jay Bhattacharya as Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This nomination will receive some controversy due to his position on Covid measures but not even close to RFK Jr level controversy.

Interesting piece of information here on trump's AG nominee pam bondi's connection to musk.

Exactly

Wow. Just wow.

Why are we “striking deals?” We have the fucking majority. I’m so tired of Schumer. If you have to work through the holidays and stay up nights, DO YOUR JOB and confirm judges for every vacancy. I don’t care if it takes longer. DO YOUR JOB.

This is extremely sudden. And odd. Did he learn something about the campaign he supported that caused him to feel, almost overnight, that he needed to distance himself from it? And from Trump? This guy was a True Believer so recently that it is best measured in hours rather than days.

As a candidate, Donald Trump disavowed the MAGA manifesto Project 2025, calling its ideas “abysmal.” Now the president-elect has nominated or appointed to his incoming administration at least five people involved in the project

BREAKING: Republican Senators are privately looking into obtaining Tulsi Gabbard’s FBI file given concerns over her pro-Russia policies. It looks like Gabbard could be the next Trump nominee to go down.

BREAKING: Merchan keeps NY Trump criminal case alive Briefing on immunity to be completed by 12/9 He should & likely will rule Trump NOT immune. Sentencing stayed but ONLY “to the extent” current date is off. We will see if a new date is forthcoming or not

Matt Gaetz says he will NOT rejoin Congress after withdrawing as Trump's pick for attorney general Bye bitch!

What's interesting here is that Elon and Musk are snake oil salesman and MTG is a snake oil purchaser. You have three stupid people who think they're all Alpha males. They'll steal from everyone including each other and then blame each other for the chaos.

If the New York Times could connect the criminal dots of Matt Gaetz’s predatory activity- Why didn’t Merrick Garland? www.cbsnews.com/video/2-wome...

If true, this is disqualifying. Full stop.

She’s not a sex offender, and she’s smarter, but she’s a true believer without scruple. Awful rather than humiliatingly awful.

🤬 🤬 🤬 GOP-Controlled House Ethics Panel Votes to Keep Gaetz Report Secret www.commondreams.org/news/matt-ga...

FOR THE RECORD: Donald trump's ENTIRE cabinet, so far, is all White. Most of his picks are just loyal sycophants, they're NOT qualified. Isn't that the main criticism of DEI?
