BREAKING: Canada just stunned Trump with brutal news after holding an “emergency meeting.” This WON’T end well for Trump…

(This was the actual cover for the May 29, 2017 issue.)

a man who gets an email like this from his own mother should be legally required to reveal it to every woman he ever meets ever ever

What @mehdirhasan.bsky.social said. Every word.

I'm curious. During the campaign, fact-checkers routinely dinged the Harris campaign for calling Project 2025 Trump's playbook, saying "Trump has denied this." Have any of them admitted how badly they got rolled in the most obvious of ways?

Do not become numb to this genocide. Israeli airstrikes have killed nearly 100 Palestinian civilians in the past 24 hours. This, immediately after Biden sent another $650M in arms to Netanyahu, and after Netanyahu was charged with war crimes by the ICC. Horrific. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

The next DNC chair should make two things clear: No super pac money in democratic primaries and not a dime of corporate pac money for the DNC. That is a basic first step to ensure our party represents working and middle class Americans.

Small businesses are the heart of our communities and the backbone of our economy. On this #SmallBusinessSaturday I encourage everyone to shop local, support our neighbors, and strengthen NW Ohio's economy. Every purchase goes a long way for a small business this holiday season.

Dear everyone, This person is a conservative Troll. Please stop falling for it. She posts seemingly bold (but pathetic to cons) stuff and they make fun of all the liberals posting. Please stop

A reminder #itwasntalandslide

Higher prices and larger deficits from Donald Trump are going to hurt working class Americans.

Fake accounts, real damage. Our Sleeper Agents report reveals how bot networks amplify Russian propaganda, flooding social media with lies and blurring the lines between real and fake. Social media platforms must hold bad actors accountable. www.americansunlight.org/sleeper-agen...

Even if you're not moved by the argument that Twitter is a rightwing cesspool thanks to its redpilled owner, the fact that foreign enemies are expressing concern that they won't be able to use Twitter to manipulate Americans anymore should be enough to warrant the exodus.

For the first time in a while overdose deaths are declining - seven straight months of declines. The cause is complicated but appears to be the culmination of a number of different Biden admin policy initiatives coming to fruition. And yet it meant absolutely nothing politically.

New paper out in @ScienceMagazine! In 8 studies (multiple platforms, methods, time periods) we find: misinformation evokes more outrage than trustworthy news, when it does it's shared more + ppl are less likely to read before sharing. w/ @killianmcl1 @Klonick @mollycrockett 🧵👇

When prescription drug costs are subjectively set by conflicted intermediates who profit off higher prices and misaligned incentives, the sticker shock isn’t really a shock at all. www.wsj.com/health/healt... @wsj.com

ProPublica has published a report on the death that another Texas woman had died as a result of the state's abortion ban. 35-year-old Porsha Ngumezi died after suffering a miscarriage at 11 weeks. Dozens of doctors have said that her death was preventable. www.kvue.com/article/news...

BREAKING: Trump and Elon Musk just embarrassed themselves at Thanksgiving dinner with a VERY awkward dance. These two losers really are made for each other…

Elon Musk is like a Bond villain, but without the charm, the sex appeal, the humor, the style, the rhythm, or the looks

Some Deep Thoughts from Deep Space.

What is the state department and Federal govt doing to support the people of Georgia against their illegal illegitimate Russian puppets in the self declared govt? Step up America

The fact that the vice president-elect posted this himself is, um, alarming. Especially given his views about the proper roles for women in our society.

Quite the stance. Imagine American journalists having this clarity and being this honest.

Share this with your family members who say they voted for Trump because the cost of groceries and gas was too high; the people who couldn't think through what would inevitably happen if Trump imposed tariffs apnews.com/article/cana...

“On behalf of a grateful Congress, this plaque honors the extraordinary individuals who bravely protected and defended this symbol of democracy on January 6, 2021. Their heroism will never be forgotten.” — Me

At least the gravy boat gets out a couple times a year Unlike *some* plaques

815 billionaires hold more wealth than half of American households. If that doesn’t tell you we’re in a second Gilded Age, I don’t know what will.

What is preventing World War III? Ukrainians are containing the ongoing war in Europe to their own country; they are deterring war in the Pacific; and they are preventing spread of nuclear weapons. These scenarios have not played out because Ukrainians take risks snyder.substack.com/p/a-third-wo...

This is your daily reminder that this really did happen.

Hey if you guys are really, really, really good—like if you don’t rape anyone, steal classified documents, obstruct the FBI, or attempt a coup—maybe Santa will bring you one of these for Christmas

Signal alone is not enough. If you are an activist, you need a complete self-defense against surveillance. @eff.org has been maintaining these resources for years: ssd.eff.org

"The ‘moderates’ got *their* candidate in every single election in which the Republicans nominated Trump: 2016 Clinton, 2020 Biden, 2024 Harris… and they lost to Trump two out of three times. And now they’re going to blame *the left* for that? No f*cking way." My rant:
