Paging anyone who can answer the linked questions knowledgeably, who isn’t also in the Trump administration. This is where Congress should have a giant role, but we’re at this point because Congress has been ignored, asleep, and/or a rubber stamp. So our corrupt POTUS lurches on with no oversight.

Disagree w AOC more than I agree, but we definitely agree on this.

“The president’s solutions-focused approach to legal roadblocks necessitated thinking outside the constitutional box.” www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/new...

Villagers say Jabo, which was one of the cities Trump ordered a strike on in Nigeria, is not known for terrorist activity and that local Christians coexist peacefully with the Muslim majority. www.cnn.com/2025/12/26/a...

Nauseating. Call your GOP representatives and ask them to defend this, and when they can’t, ask them to speak out to get all J6 rioters away from DoJ and rehire the public servants who were fired (assuming they’d want to return). www.reuters.com/investigatio...

The incompetence is both staggering and expected.

Good example of how the far left and far right merge: Attacking Torres for being pro-Israel (a far left attack) and pro-Ukraine (a far right attack). Even citing Gabbard as a credible source (far left and far right!)

“While the president is talking about handing out tariff revenue, he is also simultaneously facing a case in the USSC that could force him to pay much of that money back. It’s not clear yet how the court will rule or whether refunds will be required to be sent to companies that paid the tariffs.”

This unhinged liar is the most powerful man in the world. Let this insane speech be a rallying cry when you’re tired, to do something to end this nightmare, every day.

Every time someone who knows better (looking at you, Wolf Blitzer) says that they are surprised that Trump isn’t showing basic leadership traits like empathy and respect, I have to control my emotions. Let’s stop being surprised by Trump, please? Let’s use our energy on countering. Thx

Trump’s son-in-law and other interests aligned with our corrupt POTUS are behind Paramount’s hostile takeover bid, if anyone is keeping score. apple.news/A2p_JIc6DR5C...

In the current GOP culture, publicly disagreeing w Trump on anything constitutes a profile in courage. But let’s please stop lionizing a fringe QAnon-supporting anti-Semite just because of that. I wouldn’t say she “lost it,” but the referenced clip illustrates that MTG is still MTG, Trump-emulator.

Sums it up. Dems have to know the difference between running in Queens versus TN-7, or those possible gains will vanish.

"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."

The deranged madman now threatens to blow up commercial airliners flying in and out of Venezuela.

Still bears repeating that Trump sounds like a Nazi leader with this language: “Trump said he would ‘denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility’ … and deport any foreign national who is a ‘public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.’” Never forget.

R-QAnon isn’t done in politics, unfortunately. That she is some kind of hero because she deigns to challenge Trump is an indictment of the GOP, and indirectly all of us, for our collective neglect of our democracy that got us to this point.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (QAnon-GA) to resign from Congress. I guess I’d take her over the sycophants, but that’s a low bar. She can now spread conspiracy and anti-Semitism more easily. And will be quickly replaced with a Trumper. And run for another office. Meh.

Because it’s a real concern.

Trump doesn’t realize that saying “Hussein” to the Saudis isn’t the put-down that it is to his base. Sad.

Under Trump, we are an unstable democracy.

Not surprising of course. The corruption is open and flagrant now. Thx again to @propublica.org for their consistently heroic journalism.

Paul Ingrassia said he had a “Nazi streak.” Trump should have immediately condemned Ingrassia’s rhetoric and fired him from the White House. Instead, Trump offered Ingrassia a new job. For Trump, extremism is a positive – not a disqualifier.

A total tragedy. He developed a treatment that has proven life saving for so many patients with previously intractable depression, then himself succumbed to the same disease. Nolan Williams, Who Stimulated the Brain to Treat Depression, Dies at 43 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/11/h...

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

Why is Trump trying so hard to stop the Epstein files from coming out? It must be because he cares so much about due process.

If Trump can publicly ask his personal lawyer, AG Bondi, to set up a $230 million payment to himself, why shouldn’t his Senate enablers try “self-serving, self-dealing kind of stuff” themselves? The Trump Party’s open corruption is staggering. What’s happening behind the scenes? And this passed.

This is a big deal. "The UN’s human rights chief, Volker Türk, said last month that the strikes violate international law and amount to 'extrajudicial killing.' The UK agrees with that assessment ..." Call your GOP Senators.

As usual, our POTUS just says nonsense and we are left guessing what it means. The greatest country in the world ... TL;DR: Its nonsense. Imagine the good we could be doing here and throughout the world if we'd not re-elected this man. Then call your GOP Senators.

Tens of thousands killed in the past month. If our country had any sense of the responsibility of world leadership, or even interest in the human condition, we’d be on the ground. Having gutted USAID and having far right nationalists at the helm, we just watch; and by our absence, encourage.

Today’s GOP.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Breaking on MSNBC: Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

May I present a former clerk to Justice Gorsuch.

Sen. Paul is right. These are murders.

I’m only posting this as a reminder that public corruption must now be run through the states, since the pardon power does not apply to state courts.

I didn’t plan to break news. I just looked out the window. I was flying out of DCA and saw the East Wing being demolished. I took a photo, posted it, and by the time I landed, it was on CNN. It's wild how fast one moment can move — and how something so ordinary can make the world pay attention.

ABC News pulled the satellite imagery of the White House comparing Sept. 26 to today. abcnews.go.com/Politics/new...

Mike Johnson doesn't know sh*t

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Because the customers want their products/services more than they want the White House or dislike Trump, and paying off Trump is good business in a country that increasingly tolerates, and even encourages, corruption. Next question?

Trump demanding $230 million from the DOJ, that he controls, is a shakedown of the American taxpayers so that Trump can line his own pockets. “There’s a government shutdown happening right now across the street, and on the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, they’re tearing down the East Wing.”
