Putting this up now because I know I won’t have time tomorrow. Merriest of Christmases to all who celebrate! ❄️👼🎅🏻🎄🎁🛍️🎉
POST-CHRISTMAS PSA: Thank your Christmas hosts (who are most often women). It’s fun work we do quite lovingly & willingly, but it is work. How much? I looked at my step count prior to bedtime on Christmas Eve. It read over 14,000 steps (that’s 5 miles ) & I never even left the inside of my house. 😜

Michael Cohen is correct - Trump is leading us into war under a rationale that would justify the United Kingdom reclaiming the original 13 colonies. A war that may not limit itself to Venezuela, given that it disrupts shipping bound for China. Who voted for this?

Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

Making kids sicker again just in time for millions to lose their health insurance. RFK Jr. doesn’t really care about actual children. Like most within Trump’s inner circle, he exploits Americans’ insecurities to stroke his own ego & line his own pockets. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
American Academy of Pediatrics loses HHS funding after criticizing RFK Jr.
HHS cuts key AAP grants, citing concerns about “identity-based language” and insufficient focus on agency priorities. The organization said the cuts could harm child health.

Both parties share responsibility for not effectively addressing the unsustainable costs of actual health care inherent to our health care system. However, it is the Republican Party that continues to block all workable solutions yet has offered none of their own for over 3 decades.

All the threats from Trump and his henchmen to Republican state senators in Indiana failed. Mid-decade gerrymandering rejected. This is no small thing. Maybe some other Republicans will finally start to stand up to the Mob Boss.

Michael Cohen articulates this well. Trump can’t lie, distract, & bluster most folks into believing things are peachy when, nearly a full year into his term, voters can no longer afford their lives. All while he wastes taxpayer money on ego indulgences like military parades & a massive ballroom.

just incredible optics here, the president yelling at you about how you should buy less and like it, three weeks before christmas, while standing in front of a bunch of stupefied moronic dipshits holding BIGGER PAYCHECKS signs
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

From the Washington Post - the Netflix deal to buy Warner Bros. raised enough anti-trust concerns. But given that this new Paramount Skydance offer is a debt-based one backed by Jared Kushner & his Middle Eastern prince buddies also raises emoluments & national security concerns.

Throwing soldiers under the bus to save their own asses after ordering them to commit acts considered to be murder under any circumstances, even during war. Typical of a regime headed by a draft dodger who called fallen soldiers “losers & suckers.” 😡
