The media has to STOP giving trump credit for "taking questions" if he's not answering any of them truthfully. Anyone can take a billion questions and answer them in the bullshit lying way he does with ZERO pushback.

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who agrees that Jim Acosta was one of the few watchable journalists on CNN before they let him go, and MSNBC should prioritize hiring him to replace Andrea Mitchell or Katy Tur. Or BOTH.

Folks, this one is PERSONAL to me. Elon Musk said that "Homeless" is a lie. Since I was actually once homeless myself, I know it's not a lie. This Substack article is totally FREE. Please read, share, and subscribe. 🙏💪 brooklyndaddefiant.substack.com/p/homeless-i...

Gods help us all

Indeed

The legislation has already passed the House. Once it finally passes the Senate, it will head to President Joe Biden's desk for his signature. Along with government funding, this will be one of the last major pieces of legislation that Biden signs into law. abcnews.go.com/Politics/sen...

This bill, if passed into law, would dramatically *increase* the incidence of rape and other forms of sexual assault in South Carolina. Why? Because the perpetrators would be virtually guaranteed that their victims would never report the rapes.

It’s weird to think that Elon Musk will end up having paid far less for the United States Government than he did for Twitter

Honestly, Captain Highpants has no right to make fun of peoples looks anymore

President-elect Musk is really setting down the marker of how he wants to run his administration. VP Trump better pay attention.

Medicare Telehealth funding runs out SOON. Folks who think this won’t impact them — think again. Commercial insurance often follows what Medicare does. If you like your teletherapy or dor appointments for convenience or accessibility, you might lose it.

And somewhere in the darkness The gambler he broke even

It is no small thing that a Manhattan judge continues to stand up to the criminal who is headed to the White House.

He's insane to think and say these things! How is this slipping by?

Landslide whatever. But tiny wins in the right places is what matters now

Donald has gotten away with one of the greatest crimes against America. Despite the disastrous failures of Republicans, Merrick Garland, and SCOTUS, we must remember those who suffered on Jan 6 and continue to fight for justice—for them and our democracy. www.marytrump.org/p/above-the-...

It's 100% true.

When a lead from the Biden-Harris cybersecurity department expert is dramatically urging a forensic audit, you cannot say this is a conspiracy theory! Every citizen should be demanding this and if not, why aren't you? #DemVoice1 #forensicrecount2024

This “Crazy B” has become too much! I’m not a doctor, don’t claim to be…but I *know* Histrionic Personality Disorder when it slaps me in the face. The DSM-5 code for histrionic personality disorder is 301.50 (F60.4). Mace’s mug should be Exhibit A. #LiveAndLetLive #SheShed

SCOTUS would call this a gratuity.

Instead of being informed, Leonard Leo wants you to be entertained. He’s the conservative strategist who played a key role in reshaping the Supreme Court and overturning Roe v. Wade, is now focusing on influencing culture in Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and beyond. newrepublic.com/post/188810/...

This made me tear up a little. We do have to hold onto Hope. #TFG is no LOTR villain. He will be stopped.

Donald Trump - a President for stupid people

I’m an American teacher, and I’m worried. I’m worried about losing special education and Title I funding, worried about the voucher scam, worried about Christian nationalism in public schools, and I’m tired of being scapegoated. Education isn’t the problem. Education is the solution.

If you don't yet understand why Elon Musk not only loves Vladimir Putin but according to major-media reporting has been having secret calls with him for years now (see next post), here's your answer: Musk has been a fringe-right conservative his whole life, and aligns with Putin in almost all views.

Great question here.

She was fierce and honest and I loved every minute!

I’m a very happy subscriber! Highly recommended

"Trump’s and Vance’s politics are coherent, and their legislative agenda is clear: Roll back trans rights, lesbian and gay rights, reproductive rights and women’s rights, all in the name of making America great, straight and white again." www.nytimes.com/2024/11/22/o...

NPR has spent the last few years softening its coverage to appease Republicans and here's their reward
