After seeing and hearing people with shingles, I’d say the injections aren’t so bad.

So she should resign immediately, right?

“the President must have the power to control and…the one who has the power to remove is the one who…is the person that they have to fear and obey.” this is the argument used to allow unitary executive power to fire anyone. We are so scewed!

Trump Pulls a Sudden 180 on Releasing Boat Strike Video It sure sounds like we are never going to see that video.

Trump pulls a TACO again…

Five days after he promised the American public that they would be able to see drone footage from the September 2 airstrike in the Caribbean, Donald Trump has decided to walk it all back. | TNR

🔂 I post this everyday so we never forget Jan. 6, 2021, was a violent attempt to overturn the will of the people. We can’t sanitize it or minimize it. It was a reminder of how fragile democracy becomes when hate, lies, & power-hungry leaders go unchecked.

If only every eligible voter would vote we might be able to fix this gerrymandered state of SC. Just like LA there are many gerrymandered states that need every voter to step up. #VoteBlue

MS NOW's Lawrence O'Donnell with white text over his shoulder: "You said that"

Well, Bessent is out of the soybean farm business 😁 claims he divested per his ethics agreement. 👀

Looks like trump's peace plan for Thailand and Cambodia is a bust! 👀

How bout withholding the presidents funds as well? And while you're at it, lets see a running tally board of the rising deficit, costs of his parades, golf trips, cabinet members make up mirrors, body guards for girlfriends, etc.

Congress to withhold Pentagon travel funds until it sees boat strike videos Lawmakers quietly stuck the requirement into their must-pass annual defense policy bill.

Is it too much to hope that Congress is regrowing some backbone? Baby steps here, but important ones. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about Don Jr receiving a massive loan for his startup from the Pentagon. I guess when there’s so much corruption some things fly under the radar?

The endless grift that is the essence of the Right Wing KKKulture.

Every time Butker misses a field goal, a woman gets a PHD.

Not as careful as I used to be. Retirement is freeing. 😊 admittedly though i do not talk politics in groups of my elders who lean right.

THE YALE LAW JOURNAL DANIEL EPPS & GANESH SITARAMAN How to Save the Supreme Court ABSTRACT. The consequences of Justice Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation are seismic. Justice Kavanaugh, replacing Justice Anthony Kennedy, completes a new conservative majority and represents a stunning Republican victory after decades of increasingly partisan battles over control of the Court. The result is a Supreme Court whose Justices are likely to vote along party lines more consistently than ever before in American history. That development gravely threatens the Court's legitimacy. If in the future roughly half of Americans lack confidence in the Supreme Court's ability to render impartial justice, the Court's power to settle important questions of law will be in serious jeopardy. Moreover, many Democrats are already calling for changes like court-packing to prevent the new conservative majority from blocking progressive reforms. Even if justified, such moves could provoke further escalation that would leave the Court's image and the rule of law badly damaged. The coming crisis can be stopped. But saving the Court's legitimacy as an institution above politics will require a radical rethinking of how the Court has operated for more than two centu-ries. In this Feature, we outline a new framework for Supreme Court reform. Specifically, we argue for reforms that are plausibly constitutional (and thus implementable by statute) and that are capable of creating a stable equilibrium even if initially implemented using "hardball" tactics. Under this framework, we evaluate existing proposals and offer two of our own: the Supreme Court Lottery and the Balanced Bench. Whether policymakers adopt these precise proposals or not, our framework can guide their much-needed search for reform. We can save what is good about the Court- but only if we are willing to transform the Court.

‘Only so long’ before Trump's tariff costs hit consumers, businesses warn Corporate executives are telling investors that prices will rise as soon as January as pre-tariff inventory runs thin and holiday discounts disappear.

Last month, @SecScottBessent claimed that despite Trump’s tariffs, in early 2026 “we are going to see the inflation curve bend down.”

But according to major retailers, the tariffs will soon make prices rise even higher—the worst is yet to come.

I'm not an economist but I don't see how this doesn't end in economic collapse. 1. Deporting the labor force that maintains our basic necessities 2. Slashing funding for education, government, and healthcare 3. Massive layoffs across the private sector 4. Destroying relationships with allies.

Tom Cotton would not even be in Congress, were it not for the huge defense contractors supporting him from the beginning and keeping him flush with cash.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just now:

ICE stormed a residence hall at Augsburg University, detained an undergrad, and aimed rifles at students and staff then admitted they had no warrant to be on campus.

This is state violence. This is terror. And this is exactly what Trump’s America unleashes on our communities.
