It's not hyperbole to suggest that today we have a federal government that doesn't so much represent or resemble a federal administration as it does a family crime syndicate.
BREAKING: Columbia President Claire Shipman says DHS agents entered a residential buliding this morning and detained a student.
"Our understanding at this time is that the federal agents made misrepresentations to gain entry to the building to search for a 'missing person.'"
What lesson did the U.S. political class learn about military adventurism from the Iraq War deaths of 4,500 Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis?

Anyone?

Any thoughts on that?

Thank you for standing strong for us Congresswoman!
Christian wanted people to know what immigrant families like hers were going through inside the Dilley detention center, so she gathered dozens of letters and hid them in her jacket. She and others told me and @mckenziefunk.com its becoming harder to speak out www.propublica.org/article/dill...
Trump/GOP’s tariffs are an ILLEGAL TAX on Americans making everything expensive & creating a Trump/GOP AFFORDABILITY CRISIS!!! In response to Trump/GOP’s tariffs, employers are laying employees off & not hiring-at or almost at recession levels! Trump/GOP’s 2025 job numbers are the WORST since 2003!
Happy Presidents’ Day to the last real president we had. Americans now see he delivered a strong economy, low unemployment, major infrastructure investment, the CHIPS Act, & the 1st Black woman on the SC. He was treated shamefully—his only “crime” was aging. I hope we learn from how good we had it.
If the Supreme Court ever rules carbon isn’t a public health danger, it won’t be a legal decision, it’ll be a confession: science discarded, reality vetoed, and fossil fuel money seated on the bench. At that point, stop calling it governance and start calling it fraud.
She says this like its a good thing and that’s the entire problem.
Some striking arguments here from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) to Pam Bondi
"You replaced real prosecutors with counterfeit stooges who robotically do the President's bidding"
"Trump orders up prosecutions like pizza.. and you deliver every time"
That's half her selfie budget!

This administration is A LOT of shitty things...but the shittiest thing it is is a barely disguised (if at all) White Nationalist Attempted Takeover.
This administration is racist as hell. They don't care about anyone, but they're scared of and particularly hate POC.
This five year old is still in jail
Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill: "Trump seems to be trying to incite insurrection so he can then put troops on the streets with the Insurrection Act. This is something that every single American should be concerned about, that we are going live with military troops on the street."
Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.
Not only has the United States of America abandoned its moral role in confronting evil around the world, Donald Trump's derangement and depravity are swiftly making us the principal planetary force promoting evil.
THE MAN THEY TOOK WRAPPED IN A BLANKET IS A U.S. CITIZEN.
This is the Kavanaugh Stop of all Kavanaugh Stops.
Here's CBS anchor Margaret Brennan telling the mayor of a city under a violent federal invasion that he's making too big a deal about it.
The Washington Post Guild is alarmed and appalled by federal law enforcement’s search and seizure of reporter Hannah Natanson’s property and personal devices. Hannah is a valued member of our union whose work covering the federal workforce has been essential (1/3)
Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) says that she's under federal investigation by the Department of Justice. MS NOW's @kevinjfrey.bsky.social has the latest.
This divorced adulterer who covets other men's wives, constantly bears false witness, steals (elections), kills (fishermen), and plays golf every sabbath has obviously never opened a Bible. But, in fairness, he's never opened any other book either.
“Republicans have begun to openly and repeatedly defy him. Democrats have started to outmaneuver him. The Epstein scandal has once more erupted with embarrassing revelations. And every now and then, Trump seems to have a hard time even staying awake”
Not the ball drop we wanted for the New Year. Republicans could have so easily voted to extend the credits. One year. Two years. Three years. They rejected all.

Maybe I am old-fashioned, but I miss the days when the president needed a Congressional act to declare war.
The Department of Ed is not Linda McMahon’s personal plaything where she gets to decide what legally mandated functions stay or go or whether spending is allocated or not—and yet she repeatedly acts like it www.aft.org/press-releas...
BREAKING: ICE announces it has detained Santa Clause because he entered the country illegally and without documentation.
"Nobody is above the law," said Pam Bondi, "especially communists who just want to give things away."
From our family to yours, merry Christmas! We hope your day is filled with good people and good food.
I was devastated to hear about the loss of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer. Rob is a generational talent that used his voice to advocate for a better world. We live in a better country because of them. They will be missed.
