By having Bari Weiss turn the CBS Evening News into a propaganda outlet for Trump and Netanyahu, I shall mold the minds of all the Gen Z-ers and Millennials who watch the CBS Evening News. by Larry Ellison

This story is not getting the attention it deserves in fact it should be so shocking that it took over the CK story at this point. However, you would be hard pressed to find more than a couple people who even know what happened

The family of Trey Reed is seeking an independent autopsy following the Delta State University student’s death on Monday, when his body was found hanging in a tree on campus.

For the people who say they want to hear from Obama... The Obama administration deported 3 million people-- a historic number. What exactly do you want to hear from him about ICE right now? Or does it not matter because of his smooth voice? www.npr.org/2024/12/05/n...

npr.orgLessons learned from when the Obama administration deported millions of peopleCould deporting immigrants open up their jobs for Americans? President Obama's administration deported more than 3 million people, and an economist studied those effects.

The craziest part of the "Rwandan Genocide leader getting caught for visa fraud" story is that NYT interviewed him almost 20 years ago and had no idea

Kirsten Gillibrand just won re-election without a sweat and has a bottomless source of cash as DSCC chair. The fact that she still won’t speak out or show up for an innocent constituent kidnapped by the Trump administration is utterly shameful. She’s going to be primaried in 2030.

Rep. Jim McGovern, Senator Ed Markey, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, left to right. Then Rep. Troy Carter of Louisiana and Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi. Thank you to these Democrats. All five stood up for Mahmoud Khalil before his own New York senators did.

I had a conversation (via Instagram) with someone who was 4.5 years into a trial for a vaccine to prevent the recurrence of breast cancer. Trial - gone. She’ll never know which group she was in, which is gut wrenching. We’ll never know the findings of that study. What a waste.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

We don’t have to let Trump wreck our economy with tariffs—that’s a choice. The Constitution gives trade authority to Congress, not the President. Congress delegated tariff powers to the President and we can take them back. We have the bills (one is mine). We just need enough support to pass them.

Trump campaigned on his unhinged plan to impose tariffs on the entire world and Corporate America could have made it clear that this would have devastating consequences for consumers and the economy but instead they just assumed that Trump would not follow through and supported Trump

I'm old enough to remember when something like what Cory Booker is doing would be covered an all of the cable channels almost uninterrupted. I'm old enough to remember when the whole country would be watching. For the "DO SOMETHING" crowd, remember we do not have the same kind or press.

Here’s Elon cutting pediatric brain cancer research 👇🏻

Rachael Sirianni, PhD@docsirianni.bsky.social

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

I somehow missed that Elon Musk on the Rogan podcast said empathy is a "bug in western civilization." It's kind of odd how the Christian tradition gets totally ignored in these conversations.

The first text I got from a "famous" person after I went public about January 6th, was @joyannreid.bsky.social Joy didn't want an interview, a statement or even a soundbyte...Joy simply said, Harry i want to be your friend and I'm here for you. She's as real as they come and I'm so thankful for her

Trump and Co’s efforts will be hindered by infighting and incompetence. Hopelessness at this point is unnecessary defeatism. But still, this anniversary marks a dark day in US history. Unlike the forces that attacked America at Fort Sumter, Pearl Harbor, or the Twin Towers, the Jan. 6 attackers won.

Every election postmortem makes it clear people voted for Trump for two reasons 1. He has a mystical association with money to them, like throwing a coin into a fountain and wishing for wealth 2. They want people “beneath” them to suffer to reinforce that they’re above someone.
