Office Hours: Why isn't the media reporting on Trump's dramatic mental decline? He's showing even more signs of dementia, but the media is mum

Trump's mental decline appears to be accelerating. So why isn’t the media reporting on it? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-why-isnt-the-media-reporting-dec

The fix is in!

Nihilism is the thing I am most alarmed by...but it sucks to be sad and scared all the time, too, I must say. Just doesn't suck as bad as nihilism.

One of many costs to US murder (sorry, no better word for it) in Caribbean:

"United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal."

One Weird Trick to Get Rid of Chuck Schumer - The American Prospect Multiple Democratic groups, House members, and candidates say it’s time for the Senate minority leader to go. It turns out any single Senate Democrat can force a vote on Schumer’s job.

Many are calling for Chuck Schumer's resignation. What hasn't been reported until now is that any Senate Democrat can offer a motion to challenge his leadership position, and it would have to get a vote within 7 days. From @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social:

I'm sure he goes by *Pee*Paw.

An unwrapped tamale.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

Tapper: Angus King said standing up to Donald Trump didn't work.

Sanders: Maybe Angus didn't notice the elections on Tuesday. I thought that they worked pretty well.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".

But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

The 1930s taught us what appeasement gets you: a stronger enemy and a weaker democracy. Some of today’s Dems still haven’t learned it. You don’t bargain with extremists holding people’s livelihoods hostage. You hold the damn line. #HistoryRepeats

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.

YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

Let’s take John Fetterman. AIPAC funded. Got elected by the people. Immediately began working for his funders after his election by the people. Stopped working for the people altogether.

I'm so glad you are ok. ❤️

Debunking Gun Myths at the Dinner Table We’ve created these graphics to help you “fork over the facts” and dispel some of the most prominent myths about gun violence.

There’s a lot of misinformation and disinformation out there about our country’s gun violence crisis. The reality is: The US has a gun homicide rate 26x that of peer nations. That’s no coincidence—it’s the result of lax gun laws.

This holiday season, be ready to push back with the facts. ⬇️

Why are the Democrats so bad at this?

US skips human rights review by UN body as countries appeal for its return next year The United States on Friday snubbed a U.N. body charged with keeping tabs on the human rights records of all its member countries, on orders of the Trump administration — which has turned its back on the Human Rights Council.

The Trump administration is setting a dangerous precedent.

The world is watching this administration's attempts to limit our constitutional and human rights.

FIFA head says 'you will see' at World Cup draw if Trump receives new peace prize FIFA has announced the creation of a peace prize, which it plans to award for the first time at the World Cup draw on Dec. 5 in Washington.

Trump has threatened to bomb or invade 7 countries with a shot to play in the 2026 World Cup. He *has* bombed one (Iran) and said he'd deny them visas. He's preparing for war with another (Venezuela). He has summarily executed citizens from at least 3. He has imposed tariffs on nearly all of them.

Donald Trump just said he'll ask the Supreme Court to freeze SNAP payments AGAIN.

His message to the 42 million Americans who rely on SNAP? Eat dirt.

Because many struggle with math…

Stop giving Dems money in any way shape or form until they dump leadership thank you good morning ☀️

I double dog dare ANYONE to give me one legitimate reason why we need health insurance companies.

Besides making money for themselves and frustrating the shit out of needy people, what actual necessary service do they provide?

Are those the "reasonable" grades he got in Logic?

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.
