The National Guard wouldn’t have been shot today if Trump hadn’t sent them into DC in the first place — when nobody asked for them and nobody needed them.

Now he’s 500 more as a “response” to the chaos he created. did I get that right?

Trump's speech about the shooting in DC veered into him attacking the Somali community in Minnesota, which of course had nothing to do with the shooting. Gives away his bigoted game.

Republican Congressman Don Bacon slammed U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff. “If he were a paid Russian agent, would he be doing anything differently? He must be removed.” Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick added, “These secret side shows need to end. Let Secretary Rubio handle this with fairness and objectivity.”

Oh no 😱

Is the media finally treating Trump, who is clearly in rapid decline, the way they treated Biden?

It’s about fucking time! Who’s with me?

Kash Patel Fact Checked on Live TV After Vowing Manhunt for National Guard Shooter… Who’s Already in Custody

FBI Director Kash Patel vowed to launch a manhunt for the shooter who wounded two National Guard—only for an official to point out that a suspect is already in custody. 🤦‍♂️

Sen. Mark Kelly isn't guessing. His wife, former Rep. Gabby Giffords, was shot while meeting with constituents. 6 people were killed. Sen. Kelly knows what political violence looks like-and what fuels it. While speaking w/Rachel Maddow, he made it plain: Trump's rhetoric puts real people in danger.

Imagine George W Bush causing
5k dead US soldiers
1 million dead Iraqis
an occupation w/no WMDs
a global recession
Wall St meltdown
derivatives & housing market crash
blow off a hurricane
crash economy while enriching millionaires...

...and he's still not the worst POTUS of the 21st Century.

What's the deal with balcony solar? Cora Stryker joins me to explain how "plug-in" solar took Europe by storm and is finally, via Utah (?), making its way to America.

🚨President Trump on Thursday called for six Democratic lawmakers to be arrested, put on trial, and executed following the release of a video in which they urged U.S. service members to refuse illegal orders.

YouTube video by The Hometown Holler ICE Detained an 18-Year-Old U.S. Citizen. This Is His Story.

An 18yo US citizen, surrounded by eight masked, armed agents of the state, taken into custody, not read his rights, not offered a chance to contact a lawyer, proof of citizenship ignored, handcuffed so tightly he later required medical attention.

Profoundly, profoundly anti-American shit.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a heteromultivalent nanogel capable of killing some of the most dangerous bacteria known to medicine- with over 99.9% effectiveness against P. aeruginosa. It also showed strong antibacterial effects against other major threats, including E. coli and MRSA.

An email reading in part “I’m proud to say that I’m currently out of office for care- of my kids, of my parents, and even myself (imagine!)….i adore my work and am grateful to be able to use moments like these around the holidays to practice what I preach. Millions cannot. The impact: In 2025 alone, 450,000 women have left the workforce. Please join me in setting an honest OOO and making visible the real reason why many of us step away from work: We need paid leave and affordable care… for all.”

Happy Thanksgiving to my friend Lauren’s badass out of office message

I love Brad Lander.

But Chanda - You're forgetting how many people get their food for free at food banks..... And those numbers, according to reports, have SKYROCKETED. See? Problem solved. Oh wait..... That kinda sucks, doesn't it?

It's stunning how many people have 1) forgotten an era 25 years ago where mostly white men were getting crazy VC money for tech startups without so much as a biz plan, and 2) how many of those startups used funky accounting practices that made them wildly over leveraged and led to economic collapse.

Project 2025 is a declaration from the (MAGA) Heritage Foundation, so why not a declaration from Democrats. Let voters know what the alternative is to what the hate-filled MAGA administration has to offer for our future.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Most troops at Fort Benning didn’t know their base honored a man who never served in the U.S. Army and vowed he’d rather see “famine and pestilence” than end slavery.

Brigadier Gen. Ty Seidule (Ret.) explains that history, and the resistance he faced at places like Fort Bragg.

I just hope we can climb out of this abyss so that history will one day tell the story of all the truly horrible things that this administration has brought down on the world.
