It’s very telling that Ghislaine Maxwell was happy to sit down with Trump’s former criminal defense attorney Todd Blanche for 2 days & answer his pathetic questions in exchange for special treatment, but she will refuse to answer all questions from anyone else including Congress.

ICE is still doing checkpoints in Minneapolis like we are an occupied territory. Life remains really hard here thanks to Trump's thugs.

Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Why We Already Know Year Two of Trump 2.0 Will Be Worse Than the First The Tulsi Gabbard raid and the IRS lawsuit represent corruption on a level no one could even have imagined—until Trump came along.

Three more years of this. trib.al/oA9LY2w

It’s getting harder and harder to see how we survive it, but if we do, Congress is going to have to pass a bunch of laws that were never thought necessary until we elected a gangster as president.

#החמוד_היומי מהורהר לאור הכישלון הקופתי של הדוקו הסנסציוני על מלניה טראמפ.
* עלות ההפקה היתה כ-45 מליון דולר. להשוואה סדרת הדוקו על OJ עלתה חמישה מיליון, וסרט דוקו לרוב לא יעלה יותר ממיליון.
* זה עלה 45 כי מלניה קיבלה מאמזון 40 מליון דולר על הזכויות.
* זה בכלל לא שוחד מבזוס לטראמפ.

מדהים כמה מהר זה הידרדר. עוד לפני שטראמפ נבחר ומינה את קנדי, כבר רואים עלייה מדאיגה, אבל זה ממש התפוצץ בשנה האחרונה. ואני תוהה איך זה עובד? כלומר ריכוזי הלא מחוסנים נצברו כבר כמה שנים כנראה, כך שזה אולי היה בלתי נמנע, אבל אני מניח שפירוק מנגנוני הבריאות במדינה ושינויים במדיניות החיסונים תרמו לכך.

In Court Filings, Witnesses Describe Fatal Minneapolis Shooting of Alex Pretti The filings raise further questions about the federal government’s narrative of what happened before federal agents shot Alex Jeffrey Pretti on Saturday.

A person who said they witnessed federal agents shoot and kill Alex Jeffrey Pretti submitted a sworn statement in court disputing the federal government’s account of the shooting. “I have read the statement from DHS about what happened and it is wrong,” the person said in the statement.

It’s not just that they are murdering people who are peacefully protesting, it’s that they then stand in front of the cameras and slander the victims by telling us that what we see on the videos didn’t happen.

"When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One." - Trump, August 2024.

Trump’s America, you get executed for disrespecting ICE, Fed Chairs get threatened with criminal indictments if they don’t lower interest rates, and our closest allies for decades are threatened with invasion. We are in a dark place, a place some of us very much expected.

MAGA’s Lust for Fascism Trump’s ideologues want a smaller, meaner, whiter America.

Trump is not a patriot, and MAGA is un-American.

Also, TikTok US is still controlled by Chinese interests in violation of the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act .

She smiled at the officer. So he shot her in the face. And then called her "a fucking bitch."

ואחרון להיום - החל מראשון בדצמבר, אזרחים סינים יכולים להיכנס לרוסיה ללא ויזה. (רוסים עדיין צריכים ויזה כדי להיכנס לסין). בעיני זהו צעד משמעותי נוסף בהשתלטות הסינית על רוסיה.

The bad thing about the NYC subway this time of year is the number of passengers slinging the flu or other seasonal viruses.

No shame in wearing a mask.

WOW -- Trump announces he's not taking questions today, which is highly unusual, saying "I think we have to just stop right here"

Heather Long: The economy is about people. We talk about %, but keep this in mind: There are nearly 1 mn more unemployed people now than in January. 271,000 federal workers left or were let go since January. That explains some of the rise in unemployed, but there are other shifts going on.
