1/2 MAGATs hurting still accept lies coming out of the WH do so bc they cannot admit error. "A majority of Rs say that tariffs help U.S. companies that manufacture goods (56%) & roughly half say they help the U.S. economy overall & job seekers (49% each.)" 🧾 is.gd/8aBibJ Polls after the jump. ⬇️

The Trump administration is playing semantics about whether Hegseth gave a no quarter order. They're saying that the unarmed smugglers clinging to the wreckage were legitimate targets because they were still "in the fight"--but they've defined "the fight" as maybe being able to traffic drugs again.

It's all eugenics. And I wish people could understand how much of this script was written 100 years ago.

So this isn't really accurate, t's been a great propaganda push though, and it helps obscure the incredibly high rate of IPV in Finland. And of sexual assault. EU countries are running a lot of game with these declarations of being better than the US while glossing over their major internal issues

Trump is addicted to media coverage, especially prestige media. He needs them more than they realize.

Trump is claiming that each boat strike saves 25,000 American lives, which is a total lie. There were only 80,000 overdose deaths in the whole country last year and most of those were from opioids. The boats in the Caribbean are smuggling cocaine, most of which isn't coming to the US.

Man, between all the babies and formula we’ve got trapped inside our bodies no wonder we are too precious to be trusted with our own rights. We are hot commodities.

Food has gotten way better. Travel is cheaper than it ever has been, though less luxurious. Infrastructure was neglected for decades and Biden invested in a major upgrade. What has Trump done?

Love u queen but absolutely the fuck not

1/2 fElon is spun out, having another "white panic" attack. The soon-to-be world's first trillionaire is a freaking Nazi, & his non-stop bleating about white genocide / great replacement theory is under-reported by media outlets. The ketamine-fueled fElon is a danger to the planet. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Honestly? Impressive.

Today's column: "Remember Sam Doyle, the first-time activist I wrote about in March? Now, you can call her Mountlake Terrace City Councilmember-elect Doyle. …  Her experience can serve as something of a case study for people who might be interested in running for office for the first time."

Sounds like the conservative SCOTUS majority plans to hand over more power to the Mad King by overturning/limiting a 1935 landmark precedent as Trump attempts to fire a member of the FTC. It is rolling out full unitary executive for the 🇺🇸 — it will shred the Constitutional order. 🧾 is.gd/Llfd6O

🔥 A corporate battle that requires eyes-on. Consolidation of media — controlling what you consume for news & entertainment — is being consolidated by billionaires like the Ellisons. They are seduced by authoritarianism & freedom to profit beyond their dreams by this fascist regime. 🧾 is.gd/KUW7rd

"I think the admin is going to push the unitary executive idea as far as it can, & all of the signals it has been getting from SCOTUS is to push further & push faster.” 🧾 www.politico.com/news/2025/12... 📻 You can listen to Monday's SCOTUS arguments @10 AM ET (www.youtube.com/live/dRZEOGP...)

It wasn’t even a secret, Michael Wolff documented the whole sordid episode minus his own complicity in Too Famous.

What a gleefully unserious person JD Vance is.

I'm sure there's a lot of tears being shed right now in the EU. Crybaby fElon also called for the abolishment of the EU itself after being fined €120M ($174M; pocket change for fElon) for deceptive and scammy practices with his blue check system of verification. 🤣 🧾 www.bbc.com/news/article...

The myths around the Nordic states fascinate me. Because it is always "Oh this Nordic country is a wonderland of social safety nets and why can't we be like them?" And then you read local news and none of that shit is actually true. So where does the propaganda start and why is it so pervasive?

There's stupid and then there's...this

Love to talk @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social over breakfast in Kolkata!

WOW! National champs again, beating Stanford 1-0 with a last-minute goal.

The failed parking lot attorney that hangs out at Mar-A-Lago and loses cases for Donald Trump is now out as acting US attorney...CYA Alina Habba! Her statement below... 🧾 Trump lawyer Alina Habba resigns as New Jersey U.S. Attorney share.google/nlpg21teZbnt...

There goes Grandpa Chaos again, attacking reporters for doing their jobs rather than answer a question. Any woman that he perceives as challenging him he uses the opportunity to tell on himself. Colleagues stand by and do nothing, because they do what they're told. 📺 bsky.app/profile/atru...

The quality candidate offered up to run in MTG's district to replace her...Colton Moore. 🧾 www.wabe.org/georgia-stat...

"Remarkably preserved" takes on a whole new meaning here.

More incompetence by the destructive Trump regime! 🖕 Dept of Education requested that ~250 fired employees come back *temporarily* to handle backlog of civil rights discrimination cases. (They are on admin leave during the legal challenges to their March firings.) 🧾 apnews.com/article/educ...

Cory Mills is a piece of work.

I needed a laugh tonight and nothing better than watching Milo expose family values winger Benny Johnson as gay. 🤣🤣🤣 @keithedwards.bsky.social has the 411... 📺 youtu.be/kvVUscKTcs8?...

From the "this is not normal" department of the flood of hate symbols and actions promoted by the military under [future war criminal] #DUIHireHegseth. Only on Earth 2 can you see white supremacist imagery on the helmet of US Southern Command promotional material. 🦋 bsky.app/profile/robe...

Look at who's butthurt over MTG's 60 Minutes interview, as predicted, & issues an edict (hey, Bari!): "I hereby demand a complete & total APOLOGY, though far too late to be meaningful, from Lesley Stahl & 60 Minutes for her incorrect and Libelous statements about Hunter’s Laptop!!! President DJT"
