NEW: lots of you have sent me this article asking for my thoughts. I’ve been able to confirm it. Just as she says, Trump’s administration is staging vote.gov on a non-government cloudflare account under the EOP where there’s no oversight or accounting. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/thedreyd...

open.substack.comI found a second vote.gov — and it's registered to the White HouseThere is a moment in every investigation where the thing you have been looking for finds you instead.

You’ll notice the American state media has completely ignored racist fascist dog murderer Kristi Noem’s adulterous relations with serial woman abuser Corey Lewandowski as well as her giving him a position of power at DHS as well as him trying to carry a gun in the agency.

Trump is posting more photos of dead birds and wind turbines today. In one photo he captioned “Eagles going down!”, it’s actually a photo of a red kite from 2010 in Spain. The other photo is from 2006 in Taiwan.

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…” Read that again.

The orange felon is spending his entire Christmas holiday calling half of the country “scum.” And he wonders why he’s so hated and loathed aside from being a deranged disgusting trashy idiotic corrupt immoral racist sexist rapist pedophile asshole criminal dictator wannabe.

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

Warnock: He's got a lot of nerve saying that I'm using faith to divide people. This is a man who literally had protesters gassed and beaten down so he could hold up a bible in front of a church.

BREAKING: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ discharge petition has reached 218 signatures, clearing the threshold needed to force a vote on a clean, three-year extension of Obamacare premium subsidies.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

AI and crypto have created the illusion that all is well with the economy — even as Trump has taken a wrecking ball to it. When the AI and crypto bubbles burst, we’ll likely see the damage Trump’s wrecking ball has done. Be warned.

On this day in 2002, former President Jimmy Carter received the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to “find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development.”

It is not making any major news in the US but all Honduran news are covering it. 47 is meddling in Honduran elections which take place November 30th, telling Hondurans who to vote for for democracy( like he cares) and calling the other two presidential candidates communist and drug runners

Gupta: It’s clear that there’s age-related cognitive decline. He’s confused a lot. He sometimes mumbles sort of incoherent nonsense when he’s asked a question in the Oval Office. Clearly they’re not getting MRIs just because, because that’s the moment that we live in. There’s a reason

New Justice Department filings reveal that it was Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem who chose to defy a federal court order by transferring more than 100 Venezuelan men into Salvadoran custody to be imprisoned.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences. It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.

Maaaaan, this. So much this. Every time there's any kind of actual in-depth survey we find that the American people are *abysmally* ignorant about even the most basic political facts, but the pundit class just immediately forgets & proceeds with political analysis based on subtle policy differences.

American parents, please ignore Trump’s recent reiteration of nonsense about Tylenol and vaccines, as well as anything the man ever says about the health of your children. Please talk with your medical professionals.

The trade deficit was $35.7 billion in 2024--but that misses an important point. Canada’s population is only about a tenth the size of the U.S. If you adjust for that, Canadians buy 7.5× more per person from the U.S. than Americans buy from Canada. Canada is a pretty good neighboUr to have. 😀
