The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Congress used to have the power of the purse and the power to declare war.

Christine Le Jeune was testifying against an Open AI/Oracle data center campus coming to her city of Port Washington. The officers claimed this was disorderly conduct - but I just see a woman exercising her rights as an American. Officer’s dragged her out.

More ICE fuckery…

This young woman was wrestled and dragged out of her car by ICE agents before even checking her ID.

Keep recording and documenting.

America, without a Congress.👇

MI peeps, particularly those in the northern lower… I think we can agree with Paul Krugman. No one who was in northern Michigan during 2025’s ice storm believes the recovery should be burdened alone.

Tmurp repeatedly tells his supporters he doesn’t care. When will they believe him? #Michigan #ETTD

They are LIARS and they have serious problems with numbers. ‼️💯‼️

Minneapolis police blows budget by $19.6 million; council leaders call it ‘mismanagement’ Police Chief Brian O’Hara says it’s costly to replenish the ranks, since new hires need training while existing officers still rack up OT.

I give @deenawinter.bsky.social & the Strib credit for bringing the wood to the MPD budget fiasco. Total Frey administration failure to a) manage & b) inform policymakers before the crisis. Election year shittery. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

This is exactly what churches should be doing, calling out injustice.

📌 Lake Street Church Nativity: a bold social justice statement with ICE-like Roman soldiers, the Virgin Mary in a gas mask, baby Jesus zip-tied, Joseph on the ground, pushing viewers to think about immigration.

Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.

“What have I done!” 🤡

When the U.S. commits war crimes, acts of war, and meddles in the internal affairs of other countries, it jeopardizes our national security because it invites retaliation and sets precedence for others to follow suit.

REP. HIMES: “The video was enormously disturbing… the example given in the DOD manual is of shipwrecked sailors. You do not kill them.”

Health officials in Gaza report 366 Palestinians have been killed and 938 injured by Israeli forces since the October 10 ceasefire.

Donald Trump promised almost a year ago that he'd "take care" of rebuilding after the Los Angeles firestorms, but survivors are still waiting for him to officially ask Congress for relief.

It's long past time for Trump to wake up and do his job.

Trump threatened ICE raids at the World Cup. I wonder if the silly "FIFA Peace Prize" was to buy him off so he wouldn't interfere. Both FIFA & Trump are so corruptly transactional, it would work that way. Or course, money may have changed hands, too.

Fears Mamdani’s election would trigger an exodus of wealthy New Yorkers were BS. Luxury home sales surged in November, with 176 contracts signed for properties priced at $4 million or more — a 25% increase from October, per Bloomberg.

Vanity Fair, Olivia Nuzzi Agree to Part Ways Nuzzi and the magazine will let her contract expire at year-end, following new allegations and revelations about her conduct while she reported on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Calling it now that she'll eventually end up at CBS www.wsj.com/business/med...

We have become a profoundly ridiculous country. This makes the Nero-era look sane and normal.

NEW: The Trump administration sent Head Start employees a six-page list of "prohibited words" for grant applications, including terms like: disabilities, tribal, Black, and women.

The administration wants to erase communities and block access to early childhood services. We'll see them in court.

Inject this straight into my veins‼️Ukrainian journalist confronts Putin’s illegitimate daughter, Yelizaveta Krivonogikh, in Paris. Tells her straight up that her father murdered his brother. She declined to comment. Call these assholes out every chance you get. Bravo💥🔥💥

It's important to recognize great journalism when you see it

Kudos to @JohnBerman for this well-informed series of questions

One note: Sen. Cotton is wrong at end. POTUS needs affirmative authorization from Congress under the War Powers Resolution. Current ops are illegal.

This is America.

This is DISGUSTING

I can't help but wonder . . . what has the notoriously corrupt FIFA already gotten (or hopes to get) in exchange for its silly award to flatter the perpetually needy Donald Trump?

Please do not take medical advice from this administration. Listen to the actual experts.

Biden: So, folks, that's my message to all of us today, to all who love our country, to all of us are dismayed by the present state of the union: it's time to get up, get up and fight back. Get up. Continue to fight. What's the fight all about? Protecting the constitution.

JUST IN: Judge Sooknanan has rejected DOJ's effort to dismiss a lawsuit brought by immigration detainees at Guanatanamo Bay, saying the plaintiffs made a plausible claim that the policy is illegal and punitive. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

It's the moment when he takes the medal out of the box and puts it on himself for me. That's one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen lol. He's so desperate to get it.
