Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president

We'll never know for sure, but this feels like yet another unintended consequence from pardoning Nixon.

We need to stop lying to ourselves & others about how "no one is above the law."
It isn't true. Obviously.
If it were, dtrump would've been the 2nd ex-prez to serve time.
Alongside that lot.

Yet theyโ€™ve got the audacity to pat themselves on the back like this is a game.

This isnโ€™t governing โ€” itโ€™s reckless, itโ€™s cruel, and itโ€™s a damn disgrace.

Do your jobs. Or get the hell out of the way so people who actually care about Americans can.

Republicans have officially caused the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

Folks arenโ€™t getting paid, families are wondering if they'll have food on the table โ€” and now theyโ€™re closing off airspace right before the holidays. (1/2)

His influence didn't start with Bush 2.
Dick Cheney came to DC in the 70s and rose to power with his first stint in the WH in 1975.
For about 50 years, he was a major influence in the GOP.
He might not have wanted a trump, but there's no denying that Cheney helped set the stage for one.

They were also told not to believe trump&co. Not regarding the economy, not regarding deportations, not regarding anything.
They chose to believe MAGA propaganda.

Walmart and McDonaldโ€™s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year โ€” over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M โ€” 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

This might be the one that breaks me. Every federal agency reduced to banana-republic personal fiefdoms where criminal Trump allies loot the public and fire vastly more qualified people for daring to do their jobs. Itโ€™s unthinkable. Itโ€™s obscene.

Dems need to -en masse and at every level of gov't- get out & volunteer at food pantries and similar organizations to help those who will suffer from this GOP-shutdown. They need to show they understand & then act. People will back & support them if they support people.

Remember how it was leaked earlier this week that Johnson told his fellow Republicans "the pain dial is about to go up to 10" in regards to the shut down? He can try to downplay this all he wants, but the prices on the shelves and the premiums tell the real story.

Everything in this official USDA post is a lie

This contradicts what the USDA had on its OWN website - that it would use contingency funds to keep feeding people

Dems are NOT asking for health insurance for undocumented immigrants

The shutdown has NOTHING to do with โ€œgender mutilation proceduresโ€

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

They found $300 million for a ballroom,
but not $86 a month for groceries.

Tell me again whoโ€™s โ€œdraining the swamp.โ€

Mossad names IRGC terrorist behind global plots targeting Jews, Israelis Sardar Amar was said to have been responsible for attempted terror plots that were thwarted inย Greece, Australia and Germanyย during 2024 and 2025.

Donโ€™t imagine that Iranโ€™s anti-Israel terrorism hurts Israel alone.

Iran sponsored terrorism in Greece, Australia and Germany during 2024 and 2025.

Itโ€™s past time for people to stop blaming Israel and start understanding the threat of Iranian Islamist terrorism.

Questions about credibility

Thieren's account describes organizations discussing how to use humanitarian terms for political objectives before completing investigations.

He noted that genocide reports about Rwanda were 24 pages, while reports about Israel run 72 pages with extensive justifications, which he finds suspicious.
