Rev William Barber, Co-Chair, Poor People’s campaign, in Bad Faith documentary: "I’m not an optimist. No. No. I’m full of Christian Hope, which looks at the despair and at the destruction and at the denials and at the deceptions, and says they are real, but they don’t have to have the last say."

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

Where we are: Former DHS secretary’s sidepiece/unofficial staffer allegedly demanded bribes from for-profit prison operator for federal ethnic-cleansing contracts. Explosive (if not surprising) reporting from NBC

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

WHOA. Lewandowski is accused of demanding fees from a private prison company to steer them ICE contracts, at a time when he was widely known to be running DHS on Kristi Noem's behalf, then punishing them when they didn't pay up. Congress should conduct a full and bipartisan investigation into this.

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws. You know, like a democracy.

I received notification of yet another death at an ICE facility, meaning 38 people have died in custody since Trump returned to office. ICE is failing to ensure the health and safety of the people it is responsible for. We need immediate oversight of this entire operation.

There is now audio of Trump on Bongino’s show saying the federal government should take over state elections. That is not a “hot take.” It is a direct attack on the core safeguard of American democracy. Treat this like the emergency it is, not just another clip.

Authority in the U.S. is predicated on the consent of the governed. Let's make clear that we don't consent to how the Trump administration is inflicting authority on our communities.

Hundreds of millions of Americans have now seen how ICE shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis — but the Trump administration is still lying to us about what happened. No more lies. No more obstruction. We demand an independent investigation NOW.

The “Late Show” host, Stephen Colbert, in his opening monologue on Thursday night, told his audience, “The message from this administration is clear: Only they determine the truth, and when their forces come to your city, obey or die, and if you die, you clearly didn’t obey.”

The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price. Here we are again. We cannot let a wannabe dictator drag us into another forever war. www.axios.com/2025/12/17/t...

🚨There it is — Mike Johnson and House Republicans are refusing to even vote on extending ACA tax credits. They are actively choosing to go into the holiday break, knowing health care premiums are doubling & tripling for millions of Americans in 2026, and doing nothing about it.

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground. Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse. Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

First, Donald Trump sided with his billionaire Big Tech buddies and endorsed the AI regulation moratorium. Now, MAGA Republicans are trying to sneak it into the defense bill. Democrats must stand up to this all-out attack on AI regulation.

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal. This a real thing happening today. Don't look away.

Do political science profs have to explain to their students that, for most of American history, it was actually borderline unthinkable that elected officials and their spokespersons would constantly talk like trashy reality show contestants?

After calling Schumer a "Palestinian," Leavitt refers to "Gavin Newscum." So she's just ripping off her boss's smears now.

Bowie sometimes thinks about his wolf ancestors. Their ferocity, their ruggedness, their giant teeth, their unstoppable spirit. Then he thinks about how proud they’d be of him and his ability to manipulate his humans into picking up his poop. 🐾💩
