Interesting attire for a US Ambassador at a formal occasion.

Hugely gratifying!

Exactly! 💯

It’s getting real for Home Depot. The flash mob is only the warm up, the nationwide boycott hits on November 27th.

Chant: “Tax the rich tax, the motherf*cking rich.”

Did Secretary Noem funnel taxpayer money to line her friends' pockets? DHS sent $240 million in taxpayer dollars to a firm that she allegedly has personal ties to. Another growing scandal in the Trump Administration.

Ranking Members Bennie Thompson and Robert Garcia demand answers.

If you’re wondering why there’s a lull in the Epstein files discussion, it’s because the law that just passed gave Pamela Jo 30 days to release the files. So we’re all waiting to see how she tries to sabotage it. The discussion will pick back up in earnest on December 20th.

Federal Court Hears ‘Unprecedented’ GOP Bid to Deny Missouri Voters a Voice on Gerrymander Read more here.

But rather than work to win public support for the map, Republicans are deploying every conceivable tactic to stop Missourians from voting on the gerrymander, which GOP lawmakers passed earlier this year at President Donald Trump’s request. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Members of the military swear an oath to uphold the Constitution and have a duty not to obey illegal orders.

Context matters. @aftynbehn4tn was protesting a child sex abuser who had admitted it. Now Republicans are attempting to shame her for it.

EPA to abandon air pollution rule that would prevent thousands of U.S. deaths The Environmental Protection Agency will no longer defend Biden-era limits on fine-particle pollution, which causes heart and lung disease.

This week, Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency moved to abandon the national health-based limits on fine particulate matter, also known as soot. A move that scientists say could lead to dirtier air and more U.S. deaths.

Judge Dismisses Georgia Election Interference Case Against Trump

Unavoidable conclusion: SCOTUS has put 1 man in America above the law & created a king. Not the first time a case has been decided wrong. The fix for democracy lies, as it did in Dred Scott, with fixing a broken decision. Hopefully this one won’t require a civil war. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

2 leaders attempt a coup after losing a presidential election: In Brazil, Bolsonaro swiftly prosecuted, barred from office and now in prison. While in US, Trump isn't even charged until almost 3 years later. Then corrupt GOP Supreme Court protects him. Brazil values its democracy much more!

Huh?

Ron is right. This is about the entire MAGA/Republican party.

Amid Confusing CDC Guidance About Vaccines, Study Highlights New Risk of COVID-19 During Pregnancy A Harvard study found that the children of women who contracted COVID-19 while pregnant may be at an increased risk for autism and other diagnoses, raising new concerns about the CDC’s decision to stop recommending the vaccine to pregnant women.
