Here in Annapolis getting ready to testify with my friend Sgt Gonell, in support of Maryland Senate Bill 962 that will prohibit January 6th insurrectionists to serve in government roles.

The US is no longer a liberal democracy, according to the top global watchdog on freedom and democracy. We're falling fast, and are now classed the same as Guatemala, Colombia, and Peru www.v-dem.net/documents/75...

Washington just passed a “millionaire tax,” after Massachusetts passed its own in 2022. New Mexico enacted universal childcare last year. And organizers in Montana and California are advancing a ballot measure that would get corporate money out of politics. We still have power to fix the system.

1. Billionaire Les Wexner, the founder of The Limited and Bath & Body Works, who transformed Victoria’s Secret and other brands, was deposed by the House Oversight Committee today about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Brutal new polling finds Trump's net approval is -16 — down 22 points from inauguration day. Every authoritarian action he's taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity. He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

It would simply never happen.

The SAVE Act doesn’t have the votes in the Senate, but Trump doesn’t need it to pass to do damage. In tomorrow’s piece, Jay Kuo breaks down how Republicans are using it to undermine trust in our elections ahead of November. Yesterday, Todd Beeton reported from Senate Dems’ digital creators summit.

The Trump regime deported a 2-month-old baby and his family after the infant was hospitalized following their detention at the Dilley family detention center. Rep. Joaquin Castro says the family was shipped off with only the money in their commissary — $190. The cruelty is endless.

Today we once again witnessed CBS capitulate to Trump. I created Democracy Docket to never back down or obey. It has no corporate backers, venture capitalists or private equity investors. It's only accountable to its members who support its 22-person team. Become one now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

What might a regretful Trump voter do to pay penance for their sins besides apologize on social media? Get a Bad Bunny tattoo? Donate to Planned Parenthood? Actually vote against Republicans?

Finally, people are recognizing what I have been saying for months -- CBS has completely capitulate to Trump. I created Democracy Docket to never back down. It has no corporate backers and will never obey. It's only accountable to its readers who support it. Sign up now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" Billions for ICE, refurbishing Trump's Qatar jet, and tax cuts for the rich... "That's just how it is."

The lying never stops in this administration.

Seven Dems voted to fund the terrorizing of communities, while begging Dems to send them money for reelection. Not on your fucking betraying life. Suozzi, Perez, Davis, Cuellar, Gonzalez, Gillen, Golden are all dead to me. All MUST be primaried. All of them.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the senate to vote no

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN: "I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind." and "The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back." Read storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

2. Khanna says, among other issues, that the DOJ is not explaining its redactions and has completely redacted a 119-page grand jury file, even though the judge ordered it released. Khanna says he and Massie are exploring their legal options.

1. BREAKING Congressman Ro Khanna — who co-authored the Epstein bill with Congressman Thomas Massie — says the Trump Department of Justice’s Epstein files release today DOES NOT comply with federal law.

Mick Foley has parted ways with the WWE due to it's relationship with the loathsome piece of shit. 😳👇

Netflix, Warner Bros., Paramount, Jared Kushner, and Saudi Arabia? My reaction to @goodworkmb's timely skit about movie mega-mergers.

When I was on CNN's northeast desk, the first job at 6a every morning was to read the local papers. That guided some of what the massive CNN machine followed every day. When those papers die, CNN doesn't hire new regional reporters. What you get instead is more panel shows, more punditry.

FBI has just released this image of the person of interest in the Brown shootings.

They basically want articles about the admin to read like a transcript of Dear Leader's Cabinet meetings.

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.

The Trump sycophants and spinmasters can twist the jobs numbers all they want to fool people, but here is one simple number they can’t change: the US unemployment rate is now the highest it’s been in 4 years.

Give it a rest, JD. Everyone knows the high tariffs and cuts to healthcare support happened under Trump.

Unabashed cruelty.

She interviewed with Vanity Fair 11 times and they quoted her extensively from those interviews.

Let’s be clear: Susie Trump hasn’t denied making those statements. She’s just claiming they’ve been “taken out of context.” So, she made the comments. End of story.

Attorney for Letitia James reacts to VANITY FAIR quotes from Susie Wiles: "The White House Chief of Staff admitting that Pres Trump turned the Justice Dept into his weapon for political retribution against Atty Gen. Letitia James only confirms that this has been an improper vindictive prosecution"

I’m sorry, but that’s not how this works.

The direct care industry could lose nearly 400,000 jobs if Trump succeeds in deporting one million people each year he’s in office. This would gravely harm both the workers and the patients that rely on them for care. Is this what Trump had in mind for his “Golden Age”?

Trump's vile comments about legendary director Rob Reiner's killing has only widened the cracks in the MAGA movement: https://www.salon.com/2025/12/16/maga-shifts-away-from-trump-after-reiner-remarks/

NEW: Nick Reiner will be charged later today with two counts of first-degree murder in the killing of his parents, the celebrated Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, prosecutors in Los Angeles have confirmed.

Some classy words to honor a man and his legacy @brezwrites.bsky.social www.esquire.com/entertainmen...

The evil narcissism is becoming even more evident… and this Reiner post is opening even his biggest supporters eyes open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Or watch Pam Bondi lie again and say they can't release them because of new “active investigations.”

It cannot be an offense to repeat what the law itself clearly states: Soldiers are not required to follow illegal commands. This is political persecution, and it must end now.

CBS went from the home of "The most trusted man in America" to Bari Weiss & her fascist agenda. People are rejecting corporate billionaire owned outlets. My human rights platform—Let's Address This—has no paywall & being a paying sub is optional. Join 150K+ readers: www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe

Since Trump's return to power, the SEC has backtracked on cases against crypto firms with ties to his campaign or family businesses. It's blatant pay-to-play corruption that could crash the entire economy. https://youtu.be/gpCxV-cRY4o?si=la9hYMiXGc7-0AFp
