House Democrats want a government that’s an instrument for the public good, not an instrument of self-enrichment for the president and his rich friends. Americans are sick of the coin-operated, pay-to-play corruption emanating from Trump's White House.

Why is Trump's DOJ refusing to release ALL of the Epstein files or prosecute the abusers identified in those files? Is it because the files keep implicating Trump? We need a special prosecutor to get to the truth.

Larry Glickman@larryglickman.bsky.social

I think the epilogue of my book, FREE ENTRPRISE: AN AMERICAN HISTORY, captures how Trump both broke from and reinforced conservative political traditions. He never cared for free markets but he valued state power as a source of domination and he consistently privileged anger and resentment.

Pretty grim footnote to West's career that he ended up serving the richest man in the world's successful attempt to restore white nationalism to the US government.

(Still page 5) “Today, it’s clear not only that AGI is possible but also that, in some sense, the hard part is already done.” 🤯😡 Okay, so the problem for me here is that my book pub date is 2.5 months from now. And the thesis of my book is (basically) “no it fucking is not. See: history.”

Remember Tommy, who asked El-Sayed if he disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood? He worked for Hawley until February 2026, then became Political Director for failed Kansas GOP candidate Philip Sarnecki. His father, Timmy Teepell, is a longtime GOP strategist who worked for Jindal and Hawley.

It’s not a political party. It’s not an ideology. It’s an international crime syndicate.

However, the incident spurred the LDS Church to change its policies. In 1970, BYU recruited its first Black football player. In 1978, the church lifted its restriction on Black men entering the priesthood. In 2019, the University of Wyoming apologized to the surviving members of the Black 14. /9

Like, the Dunningites did not do bad history insofar as they didn’t use primary sources. They did bad history by making the denial of Black humanity the centerpiece of their work. They did so as part of a larger political effort entailed with Jim Crow.

Shooting at a car to stop a shoplifter is not justified. Even if no one was harmed, let alone shooting to death a 1 year-old baby.

Unacceptable. Meta took down the No Kings Instagram today and kept it offline for well over an hour. Censoring free speech to appease Donald Trump? We the people deserve answers, but regardless, we will not be silenced.

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.
