Literally this year the MN Speaker was murdered at her home when a white male MAGA chud dressed up as a fake cop & killed her

Now mere months later, MAGAs are shocked that daycare operators in MN wouldn't open doors for white male MAGA chuds dressed up as fake journalists, demanding access to kids😐

WHEN DO WE START BOMBING RUSSIANS WHO ARE KILLING CHRISTIANS IN UKRAINE?

If Trump is bombing "terrorist scum who have been targeting and killing Christians in" Nigeria, why not in 85% Christian Ukraine?

Trump lies: Putin wants Ukraine to succeed

George Clooney: "If CBS and ABC had challenged those lawsuits and said, 'Go fuck yourself,' we wouldn't be where we are in the country."

"That's simply the truth."

"Bari Weiss is dismantling CBS News as we speak," Clooney says. "I'm worried about how we inform ourselves."

Lauren Boebert just reacted to Trump blocking clean water for her district after she voted to release the Epstein Files:

“I hope this veto has nothing to do with retaliation for calling out corruption…

I thought Trump’s campaign was about lowering costs and cutting red tape.”

Trump’s latest fundraising email asks supporters to check a box to “SUPPORT MAGA in this DO-OR-DIE battle.” The fine print: checking it auto-adds an extra $3,300 donation on 12/31.

Pelosi: “The President incited an insurrection. We begged him to send the National Guard, they never sent them. This President is trying to re-write history… it was an assault on the constitution of 🇺🇸.”

Zelenskyy calls Russia’s claim of a strike on one of Putin’s residences a “complete fabrication,” a lie designed to sabotage diplomacy, justify more attacks on Kyiv, and excuse Moscow’s refusal to end the war. He warns the world must not stay silent as Russia tries to derail peace.

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:

Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

We will literally have a big bonfire on national TV…. And ceremonially destroy any memory of the Trump presidency

Kyiv did not sleep once again last night. On the last weekend of the year, the capital should have smelled of mulled wine, cinnamon, chocolate and joy.

Instead, our city was filled with smoke, gunpowder, explosions, screams, and curses.

The Russian attack lasted twelve hours.

J. D. Vance has “clearly made the calculation that anti-Semites are part of the Republican Party’s base, and he can’t afford to shunt them to the side as he plots his own presidential bid,” Franklin Foer argues.

JUST IN: CBS’s Kennedy Center Honors just hit an all-time ratings low. Preliminary Nielsen data shows only ~2.65M viewers tuned in to the Trump-hosted show, down from 4.1M in 2024. A stunning 35% year-over-year collapse.

JD Vance says he wants the Republican Party to be a big tent ... Big enough to hold a Nuremberg Rally.
But as the Republican Party, and the fully Trumped Heritage Foundation, ever more openly embraces bigotry - and particularly antisemitism - there are some initial rumblings of discontent.
Heritage Foundation killed by MAGA
Antisemitism in the GOP? The devil you say!
