Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

This is a chilling hate rally. And, just in case you think this doesn't matter to you, the President of the United States is also mocking the idea of Constitutional liberties.

So…if removing Trump’s tariffs will help economically, then, for the umpteenth time - Trump’s tariffs were a really stupid idea that hurt the American people and slowed down our economy big time. Got it.👇

GM has made major layoffs throughout 2026. But its net profits for Q3 2026 rose 151% compared to a year ago. Its CEO was paid $30M in 2025 (333x more than the median employee). And GM is planning $20 billion in stock buybacks — the largest in US automaker history. Corporate greed in a nutshell.

The Trump administration is asking a federal court to block certification of Alaska’s Senate election if the GOP incumbent, Dan S. Sullivan, loses. The Justice Dept. argued that confusion over another candidate with a similar name could taint the result. nyti.ms/4i5q8I4

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

They are destroying the administrative state & throwing all of us to the wolves. Doesn't matter if you voted for them or not, MAGA/MAHA are driving us into a chaotic, deadly, pre-20th century wilderness of no aid for states devastated by disasters; no regulation... share.google/0kdXsvm8ER8q...

Higher-rated (BB/B) corporate high yield has relatively low spread, around the 25th percentile historically. But lower-rated high yield (CCC) is trading over 1000 bps, distressed territory. The result is a genuinely crazy degree of credit skew that is on par with the GFC, 2016 oil selloff, or COVID.

Today during a press gaggle President Trump told a reporter that Russia has been fine on Ukraine and hasn't been doing much. I've included an excerpt from a PBS News Hour segment from last week. Russia did not abide by a ceasefire on energy targets in Ukraine.

Failing to reach a quorum? It’s almost as if some higher power is telling us the Supreme Court must be expanded.

James Grimmelmann@jtlg.bsky.social

Because four of the Justices have book contracts with a party's corporate parent, the Supreme Court LACKS A QUORUM to hear BMG v. Vetter, and one of the worst copyright decisions in recent memory is affirmed by default. It's just one bad look after another. www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...

Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski: basically calling Trump a liar. “The US no longer finances this war since January of last year. In other words, for more than a year and a half. The US has not contributed a single cent to the defense of Ukraine. We are doing it. Europe.”

Again, the scandalous thing about Elon Musk spending $276 million on the 2026 midterms is NOT how *much* money it is. The scandal is how *little* money this is *to him.* Compared to his net worth, this is roughly equal to the median American my age spending $40.

Replying to @atrupar.com

Rubio says the restrictions weren't deliberate and “sort of happened.” Reuters says the order came from inside the White House. Zelensky confirms the limits remain. At this point, the question isn't just who ordered them. It's why they haven't been fully lifted.

Key lies in Trump's stmt: 1) diesel is up due to Iran's blockage of the Straight of Hormuz, which resulted from his vanity war with Iran (#EpsteinFury); 2) Russia is providing intel on US bases in the Middle East to Iran so it can kill US soldiers there. Trump doesn't care about these deaths ...

Trump: "My decision on Russia is simple... Russia is doing very little, if anything, to help Iran, compared to what they could be doing ...

Russia is only helping kill American soldiers a tiny bit. No biggie. They could be helping a lot more and I’d still support Putin 100%.
