Inside the Pentagon’s Scramble to Deal With Boat Strike Survivors

BREAKING: At one point, the Pentagon considered sending boat strike survivors to CECOT torture prison in El Salvador to avoid discovery in US courts. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/u...

There’s no money to make healthcare free or more affordable, but there’s money to give $40B to Argentina, $350M for a trashy ballroom, $172M on private jets, millions of dollars for golf trips and lavish dinners and $12B to pay back “farmers” (creditors). Funny how that works.

Trump can go to Pennsylvania, mock the topic of affordability, lie that prices are way down, but that won’t change the trajectory. Holding a rally with supporters laughing along with him about affordability doesn’t make him look any less untethered from reality & the actual struggles of Americans.

If you’re celebrating the mass deportations of distraught, exhausted human beings seeking refuge, you probably shouldn’t be singing sweet songs about a baby with “no crib for a bed.”

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

Congress has just NINE voting days left before Republicans let the ACA tax credits expire.

It’s time for Speaker Johnson to put a bill on the floor to stop premiums from doubling or tripling for millions of Americans.

Rep. Adelita Grijalva was pepper-sprayed by ICE agents during a raid last week.

Remember: ICE is getting $170B in new funding from Trump's Big Ugly Bill and lowering its hiring standards.

If Trump's thugs can do this to a member of Congress, they can do it to you.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just now:

Trump Just Put the Quiet Part in Writing And I'm grateful for that.

As Anne Applebaum notes, “The new National Security Strategy is a propaganda document, designed to be widely read. It is also a performative suicide. Hard to think of another great power ever abdicating its influence so quickly and so publicly.”

Holy crap. Perhaps we should blow up SCOTUS, come up with an entirely different mechanism for adjudicating disputes.

Incredibly galling to hear Sauer talk about how the president is accountable to the public through elections, when the president he's referring to is one who attempted to illegally overturn an election he lost

Trigger warning: ANIMAL CRUELTY & CRUELTY TO PEOPLE!

Make sure knows these stories because if it can happen to them, it can happen to you & your precious pup(see below).

Speak out against #ICELawlessness!

Undoubtedly This week, The Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether children born on American soil are American citizens.

Someday, someone will write The History of the Decline and Fall of the American Empire, perhaps even in the then-former territory of the United States. In that work, the Roberts Court will be correctly identified as one of the chief causes of its destruction. 🧵

What in the actual hell

The Supreme Court on Monday hears a case to decide if a president can fire FTC, NLRB, or agency leaders at will.

If Trump wins, he could force the FTC to approve the Netflix merger.

He could fire the NLRB chair if they don’t stop union drives at Amazon.

Agree 💯 With Our European 🇪🇺
Allies......

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

Donald Trump isn't interested in wielding his antitrust authority to protect the American people and preserve competition in our economy — he's using it to reward his allies.

It's all out on the open.

AFFORDABILITY IS NOT A SCAM.

If we won’t adhere to our own laws, or any international laws, why would anyone else?

Their brazen lawless actions will have a ripple effect and it will endanger Americans everywhere.

The more we learn, the harder it is to deny it was a war crime.

📌 The Atlantic: Footage was so graphic it made viewers nauseated. “Worse than we were led to believe.”

📌 NBC News: Pete Hegseth ordered the military to kill all 11 people on the boat.

No shit.

Paramount Skydance launches hostile bid for WBD 'to finish what we started,' CEO Ellison says Netflix won a bidding war for the Warner Bros. film studio and HBO Max streaming service, but it doesn't plan to buy WBD's TV networks.

Is Trump going to hand over CNN to his pals, the Ellisons?

Trump and Republicans gave ICE $45 billion in their Big Bad Betrayal Bill to ramp up their campaign to kidnap and disappear immigrants — sending many to inhumane detention centers.

Yet DHS is refusing to allow members of Congress to conduct oversight visits of these facilities.

Foul winds blowing across America.

Trump has removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of days Americans can enter national parks for free. He has added his own birthday.

It's not "free-market conservatism" when Trump uses government power to sabotage farmers' markets and then spends taxpayer money to bail them out, making them more dependent on the government. It's what dictators want: everyone dependent on their personal whims.

The title screen for a BBC article with the title, "New US security strategy aligns with Russia's vision, Moscow says." The picture shoes Trump patting the handshake he made with Putin.

Putin declares victory.

Did you ask him if his job was under threat if he failed to follow an illegal order? Did you ask him if he knows killing the shipwrecked is an illegal order? Did you ask him if he was promised clemency if he took the fall? What did he say? TELL US. Stop dancing around these questions.

📌NOTE: The Conservative Supreme Court is nothing but a bunch of destructive liars doing the bidding of a sick, demented tyrant who wants to hold absolute power.

Dismantling this court shouldn't be a consideration, it should be a thing that simply has to happen so that our democracy will survive.
