The quixotic quest to indict Letitia James on bogues charges keeps flaming out. That's what happens when you replace the career DOJ lawyers with sycophant MAGA loyalists who are utterly incompetent. Hey, that's what happens when you rely on flunkies. Losers.

The ethnic cleansing continues at America's first concentration camp. Fort Bliss was used as one of the main internment centers for Japanese Americans during WWII. And is not slotted to be the Auschwitz of America. elpasomatters.org/2025/12/08/f...

Guess which vulnerable Republicans voted against extending ACA subsidies: TX John Cornyn, NC Thom Tillis, OH Jon Husted, IA Joni Ernst, WV Shelley Moore Capito and LA Bill Cassidy. Full list below. Each of these states as well as most other red states rely heavily on subsidies. Good luck with that

Protecting pedophiles and rapists is Trump's thing. "The [Tate] brothers’ release from Romania was the culmination of a yearslong effort by Andrew [Tate] to forge alliances with Mr. Trump’s advisers and family members." Barron Trump admires Tate and influenced Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/u...

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Grok AI. So if you want to inject bleach into your veins for Covid, find out why vaccines actually cause disease, learn why Hitler was a good guy, find out about the global Jewish cabal running the world or hear flattering things about #ElonMusk, just ask Grok.

Pam Bondi. What to say. Attended Stetson University College of Law which is ranked 99 in law school standings. Thinks she looks like she's 29 years old. Ugly face that reeks of hate, As they say you get the face you deserve. Bondi was endorsed by Sarah Palin. She sued to nullify Obama care. Ugly.

A media mogel with important merger business before the FCC says he has "great conversations" about it with Trump, while Trump for his part speaks openly about the kind of ownership he wants to see at CNN, a news network he detests.

Hey I have an idea let's turn CNN into another MAGA right wing outlet since there is such a shortage of right wing news propaganda. Fuck you Ellison. We will remember this collaboration with the Fascist regime.

House Democrats are escalating their impeachment strategy, now targeting Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. This move signals a broader effort to hold Trump's entire cabinet accountable, using every tool available to confront this administration's abuses.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

This is the same guy who did a decidedly hostile interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates and went so far as accusing him of hating Jewish people. Real Fox News type stuff. Bari Weiss is turning CBS News into Pravda Fox News edition. All propaganda all the time, what this fascist oligarchy wants to feed us.

Joseph Goebbels and other Nazi leaders made substantial fortunes in the build-up and execution of the Holocaust and WWII. Stephen Miller is a fascist who is merely following his fascist predecessors to enrich himself while carrying out his fascist agenda and ethnic cleansing.

I agree with @karaswisher.bsky.social on the Netflix and Warner Bros merger. CEO Ted Sarandos started Netflix because he loved movies and still does. Consumers love it. The Ellisons have no entertainment experience, know nothing about creatives and don't give a fuck. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7PO...
