All I want for Christmas is Democrats for start driving their social media traffic to their Bluesky posts, not to Twitter.
Folks are welcome to post on Twitter/X but we should not be driving traffic there. Am amazed this remains a common tactic.

watching the CECOT 60 Minutes segment that CBS suppressed, it’s striking that Weiss specifically called out as unnecessary some of the most rigorous investigative work in the segment, including an explanation of how it was done (by human rights researchers)

The last-minute decision to pull the 60 Minutes CECOT segment looks a lot like political pressure from Trump and his allies who don’t want the public to see the consequences of his policies.
This is the LEAST transparent president in American history.

Hours before 60 Minutes was set to air a story on deportees who were sent by the Trump administration to prison in El Salvador, describing “brutal and torturous conditions,” 60 Minutes announced that it has pulled the segment and will air it in the future.

I'm old enough to remember when the networks refused to carry an incredibly important speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia by President Biden about creeping fascism in the U.S. because it was "too political".
Sure, but they'll broadcast every minute of Trump's propaganda bullshit. 🙄

If you’re wondering why Trump never accused Venezuela of stealing our oil in his first term or the first 8 months of this term it’s because he just made it up right now.

WTF? ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security.

Whitehouse: Not only were the founders extremely interested in checks and balances but they were desperately concerned about corruption.
This Court has consistently taken the side of corruption against every device Congress has created to fight political corruption.

"She's got a wonderful boy. And she's very proud of her boy" is a pretty weird way for a dad to talk about his own son. They're all such bizarrely monstrous people.
Trump on his wife's legislative initiative: "I just heard about that for the first time. The only thing I can tell you, I know one thing for sure, it's going to be great for children. I don't know what it is she's doing. She loves children. She's got a wonderful boy. And she's very proud of her boy"

Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not “stupid”, they are not “piggies”, and they are not “ugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience.
We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.
