House Democratic Vice Chair Ted Lieu reads Trump’s unhinged social media post.

An unpopular, lame duck president with a declining economy*&* an unpopular war?

Welcome back 2006 midterms

The Affordable Care was signed into law 15 years and 9 months ago

Huey Lewis once stowed away on a plane to Europe.

(It was in the 1960s, not while on tour...)

(In fact, he was technically a minor at the time.)

Judge: residents must move out, ICE-raided South Shore building is uninhabitable • The TRiiBE The tenants of the property at 7500 S. South Shore Drive are ordered to leave the property by Friday.

this whole situation stinks to high heaven thetriibe.com/2025/12/judg...

This is criminal assault, made worse because the fuckhead is actually reaching through to touch the trigger!

My statement on Republicans stripping my Afghan relocation legislation from the NDAA and betraying our Afghan allies.

It's been truly remarkable to see the grand jury system actually act as a real line of defense.

Especially since--as I bet most non-lawyers don't know--the only legal person in the GJ room is the prosecutor: no defense, no judge.

There is NO place more favorable to the state. And they keep losing.

Sen. Blumenthal and I are appalled by the treatment of U.S. citizens by ICE and DHS. We will continue to bring awareness to these injustices and uplift their stories.

They deserve justice, NOW.

Congress quietly strips right-to-repair provisions from 2026 NDAA despite wide support "I don't know how to interpret this, other than to say that industry prevailed in their influence over Congress," Greg Williams said.

in other news, our grotesquely corrupt Congress just killed "right to repair" military reforms that saw massive bipartisan support and would have saved taxpayers billions of dollars

I love this, so it cost more, took more time, looked worse and everyone STILL hated it. I can see why so many people think it’s the future 😂😂

New York Times editor Joe Kahn misunderstands what the readers want | Press Watch They want the Times to be more honest, not more partisan

The NYT's top editor did an "interview" with a staff sycophant and the result was an embarrassment to him and his organization. Press critic Dan Froomkin explains why:

I'm not sure. I do remember the Milford Plaza ads though.

(1) Videos of murders must be very bad for Trump/Hegseth/Bradley to choose cover-up over spin (2) Congress has oversight over executive, Congress has power of war, it should not be the military’s choice to decline to show things to Congress, that is not how this is supposed to work.

"There are no more free public spaces!"

Your library is right there.

"I can't afford to subscribe to every media outlet!"

Your library is right there.

"I have to subscribe to corporate streaming or else I can't watch movies or play video games!"

Your library is right there.

"But instead of being in an arena that could draw several thousand attendees, it was held in a conference center ballroom at the Mount Airy Casino Resort in Mount Pocono, a small town of about 3,000 residents."

Xmas reminder: If GOP didn’t give 800 billionaires a $2T tax cut (again)—we’d have enough for SNAP & to cancel medical & student debt.

GOP sold out 200M Americans for 800 billionaires.

This is what class war on working people looks like. Stop bootlicking billionaires. Tax them out of existence.

Quite something when a historic major American media conglomerate is looking to sell, and the buyer with more *political* capital with the American government is the Saudi royal family, and not one of America's great new media success stories

love to get lectured on the virtues of spartanism from the guy with the gold toilets

NJ still has diners.

On the internet, age verification doesn't know you're a dog.

I just read this out loud to my wife. If you have a spouse or partner, try it, especially if they don’t know what’s coming. Hearing it out loud makes the bonkers-ness sink in.

Reading this to unsuspecting people should be a TikTok meme.

10/ to recap: DHS pointlessly interrupted someone's marriage-based residency process, forced them to get a 2nd lawyer, delayed the process by months, added a *lot* of extra stress and anxiety, & fought to the end to make it all as inconvenient as possible--all while needlessly wasting govt resources

You can't make this up.

Also the, um, "we should do something about it" part is seriously crazy.

Great thread on the petty and stupid cruelty of the Trump admin, which makes their own lives more difficult for no reasons other than to hit vague goals of putting people into removal proceedings.

It's like they are actively trying to kill the tourist industry.
