Slam it to the left if you’re having a good time, shake it to the right you know that you feel fine.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Call me crazy, but I find it comforting that in a world as surveilled as ours, a good old fashioned jewelry heist where no one gets hurt is still possible.

hard to believe that the president of the United States — a 34-count convicted felon, con man, rapist, domestic terrorist, child molester, bigot, white nationalist, Nazi, and all-around orange dumb motherfucker — is waging war on America

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

President Donald Trump said Friday that he will posthumously pardon Pete Rose, the disgraced Cincinnati Reds star who received a lifetime ban from baseball for gambling on his team.

Trump did not specify what he would pardon Rose for.

So glad I deleted that cursed app.
Elon Musk is working to transform X, his social media platform, into a virtual wallet where people can send money to each other. Digital payment platforms have come under intense scrutiny by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but that is likely to ease.
