Just four Republicans can change the lives (and deaths) of millions of Americans.
Are they all too scared of a lame duck failing President to save lives?
Vote them all out!

Why can’t we start electing more decent men and women like Mark Kelly and Jasmine Crockett? Why?

More important question: Are voters going to hold Republicans accountable for actions they allowed under their watch?
Trump will never be a candidate again. They will.
If media spent half the time they do reporting on his "favorability ratings," on Republicans in Congress, 2026 would be a blowout.

Wealthy Ranchers Profit From Public Lands. Taxpayers Pick Up the Tab. A ProPublica and High Country News investigation found that government programs supporting grazing on public lands prop up a wealthy few while harming the environment. The Trump administration is supe...

The U.S. government’s grazing program was established a century ago to prevent abuse of public lands.

It’s grown into a massive subsidy program that benefits wealthy ranchers and corporations.

She has stars in her eyes (looking to higher office) and thinks this shift to the right, however brutal the results, will help her.
Remember how popular Baker was? She wants that.

Trump appears to doze off in another meeting It was the second time in a month Trump has appeared to struggle to stay awake as his advisers have spoken to cameras about the administration's initiatives. December 2, 2025 at 6:04 p.m. EST

While Trump dozes off, millions of Americans are wide awake to the fact that they won’t be able to afford health insurance or Christmas presents because of his terrible policies.

@weeknightmsnow.bsky.social Why are you all talking about the crime of following an illegal order?
WHO GAVE THE ORDER?

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Russia started this war and Russia is the only country that can stop this war.

Make Money Not War: Trump’s Real Plan for Peace in Ukraine The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europe’s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board.

Her death is on the hands of all the Republicans in Congress who won’t stand up to Trump.
Every crime ICE commits against every man, woman & child is on the Republicans.
We must vote them out!

Oh, but those hyenas are detestable!

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Canadians have all the fun.

Also if you’re unwilling to be confrontational with powerful people you just should not be a journalist. You aren’t cut out for it.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates.

“I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.

Let's not confuse the people giving the stupid orders with the people who have to deal with following them, who are often good and decent people.

There will never be a world without Jeffrey Epsteins until more people are willing to call out men who abuse women. Including the President, who models abusive behavior every damn day.

Violence thrives in silence. And silence teaches other men they can abuse with abandon, and without consequence.

The next journalist needs to ask the same question.
Or they should all walk out together.
This is abuse.

What the U.S. Government Is Dismissing That Could Seed a Bird Flu Pandemic Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vacci...

To combat bird flu spread, other countries have authorized poultry vaccines. The U.S. hasn’t, amid political and economic pushback.

Without a vaccine, experts say the virus poses an escalating threat: “The minute it transmits to humans, it’s done.”

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.

Disgusting doesn’t begin to describe Putin’s behavior.
Or the silent Republicans in Congress with blood on their hands.

What is the latest Black Friday boycott – and will it work? While others scramble for deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, activists hope to leverage shopping behavior for societal change

Home Depot has provided tools and materials to build this regime. HD turns profits from customers who bust their assess constructing & repairing in our communities, then aid in allowing the regime to abduct them. (Who knows, perhaps for an additional sum.)

Libraries win! A judge in Rhode Island issued a permanent injunction stopping the Administration from dismantling the Institute of Museum & Library Services and nullifying all actions taken to do so.
Here's the decision: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

@barbmcquade.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social Maybe attorneys should swear to, “Tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,” so they can be charged with perjury if they lie to the Court.
It could thin the ranks of the Justice Department.

Thank you so much from one with first-hand understanding of what that support means in a life.

🥰 Thank you Yo-Yo Ma and @mayorwu.boston.gov
