"No mainstream reporter has the stomach to say, 'By the way, this administration lies all the time and we should assume this is a lie too' after every unsupported statement." They should, because it's true.

The war against Venezuela isn’t about drugs. It’s about the destruction of regular order.

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.

Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

You absolutely have the constitutional right to record ICE, Border Patrol, or any law enforcement officer in public, and with everything happening in Charlotte right now, people need to understand that clearly.

CR has now been signed in the White House. Watch for additional dangerous distractions but there also may be a few more Republicans spines. Despite recent set backs and cruel tactics, resistance matters.
Stand up, speak out, fight back.

Look, I know we’re all rightfully pissed about the current Epstein stuff, but you should really set aside some time and read this piece. There’s a reason “mitigating the effects of climate change” is one of my key policy positions.

The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Trump thinks he’s a king. Forcing a government shutdown because you don’t get your way has nothing to do with democracy — it’s autocracy. Join us to make it clear that there are still NO KINGS in the USA: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

We’ve been warning about the propaganda. For more proof of how aggressively the Trump administration is pushing its propaganda machine, just look at the government websites.

The President is unwell.

PBS comments: “his remarks were rambling and incoherent,” in multiple appearances.

The Guardian calls some of his speeches “baffling” and “weirder than ever.”

Cambridge analysis says that his statements often require “translation” or annotation to make sense.

I will say, watching the behavior of the Generals today, respectful but reserved and apolitical in the face of Trump was heartening.

Hopefully the next generation of officers, the young ones, see that and take it to heart.

Anyone with courage has to acknowledge Trump isn't well. And he's getting worse.

My look at his babbling insanity from just the past week:

Ranting about Tylenol and escalators while seeking revenge on his enemies, Trump is showing us one simple thing: He is desperate and declining.

SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted.

My story:
Trump mandates all federal agencies send email blaming Dems for potential gov’t shutdown
Workers call the partisan email "a vile slap in the face."

As we approach a government shutdown the President of the United States is posting AI videos on line with the maturity, dignity and sense of humor of a poorly-raised 5 year old. He is an embarrassment to us all.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Trump wants everyone to think that submitting to his will is the only option – but that is a lie. Defiance is not only available, it is the strategic choice.
