There's a word for what Trump and his allies are trying to do with this gerrymandering plan...

What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.

It doesn’t get much more foolish than this.

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated. We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

We cannot let a person who has a nematode in his brain, who was addicted to heroin for 14 years, and who drove his wife to take her own life, who has sexual assault allegations against him, and a fetish with dead animals – to make *any* kind of health decisions for *anyone*.

Was he having a medical event while typing this?

Some people are so fucking stupid, holy shit.

“The list…includes nine Air Force general officers, seven Navy admirals of different ranks and four Army general officers. Eight of those 20 are women even though only 17 percent of the military is female. None are Marines.” www.politico.com/news/2024/12...

In the night sky, one by one, the stars were going out

There are probably more than 4 million American kids whose parents Trump wants to deport. As he seems to understand, his "the kids can go, too" approach will have a difficult time surviving public outcry. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I can’t tell you how important it is to start paying attention to local races.

As always, stooping low.

Joe Biden welcomed this guy to the White House. Trump responds with a gross diss on Jill.

I choose to believe this is an elaborate piece of performance art, because I refuse to accept that any humanities professor would accept this total abdication of our basic duties. Why not just toss the students a Magic 8-Ball?

Don’t mistake our kindness for weakness.

On Wed, Dec. 18 come join our own @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and Tim Miller and Reason's Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch for a debate on whether you have to pick a side in politics, moderated by Peter Suderman. Tickets:

He clearly has dementia setting in..

Reform is a party by and for men born in 1967 who believe they were personally gassed at the Somme.

Are you against Tulsi Gabbard's nomination? I am. Tell your Senators to oppose Gabbard too:

Things have changed.

Convicted felon, insurrectionist, and digital rapist Donald Trump wants to make it a crime to say that he is a criminal. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

As Trump promises to immediately pardon January 6th prisoners on Day One — saying they’re “living in hell” — keep in mind that virtually all of those doing serious time behind bars assaulted a police officer.

Sounds about right.

Save this Elon Musk tweet from today, as the degree to which it is willfully false will shortly be seen as historically mortifying

He will live in infamy because history is written by dispassionate scholars based on facts, not ideological political extremists living in their own reality. #NoNamesNeeded

Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do; Nothing to kill or die for And no religion, too. Imagine all the people Livin' life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one. John Lennon, 10/9/40-12/8/80

Sickening hypocrisy.

“Woke” means “suspected of harboring loyalty to the Constitution”

People not elected to government should not have the power to reshape the government, especially people whose obscene wealth depends on the government functioning a certain way. This is not a hot take. It's just plain common sense.

This burn is epic. 🔥

Drumpfs new fragrance: “shite, shite, shite”😈

Jim Jones wanted his followers to drink the Kool-Aid. Traitor felon ‘45 WEARS the Kool-Aid.😡

WASHINGTON (AP) — Agriculture Department orders testing of the nation's milk supply for bird flu.

If you want to smell of anus, and armpits:

Here is Nick Fuentes’ mugshot after being arrested for battery. All I have to say is: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh it’s super clear now, Elon.

BREAKING: Joni Ernst having multiple meetings with Pete Hegseth, appears to be leaning toward caving and confirming him. If she votes to confirm him — with all the credible allegations of sexual predation and alcoholism — then the good people of Iowa should VOTE HER OUT in 2026.

Still not over being told by the media that Project 2025 couldn’t possibly be the Trump agenda just because he denied that it was.

NEW: "No platform, it seemed, was too kooky" for Kash Patel. "In 2021 and 2022, he made no fewer than six appearances on the show of anti-vaccine maniac Stew Peters, who is widely regarded as a white nationalist." www.thebulwark.com/p/kash-patel...

I say this as someone who has watched and endured years of MAGA ugliness on social media: Yesterday was as bad as anything I’ve seen. charliesykes.substack.com/p/desperatel...
