This whole thing is just so silly. Many artists started cancelling performances months ago when he put himself in charge of the Kennedy Center and fired the former board. Not to mention the ticket sales are down, and seats are empty at many performances.

If you’re telling Head Start programs they can’t say “disability”, “Black”, “female”, or “Tribal” in order to get funded—you don’t care about kids. Period.
This administration is attacking the very protections that keep children safe and supported. Our kids are not political props.

Game time! Disinfo Rodeo runs all week.
Let’s start with Marty Makary. What’s his latest nonsense?
✅ Lyme disease was created by a Nazi doctor at a lab in CT
✅ HIV came from primate research in Africa during the Cold War
Score: 6.5/10. Points for performative BS but the lab leak theory is tired.

Farmers are celebrating the bailout as “Christmas coming early.” Meanwhile, many of the same voices insisted students didn’t deserve loan relief because they should “pull themselves up by their bootstraps.”

High Point University is out with a new poll of North Carolina voters. It shows Trump's approval rating continuing to drop, while Governor Stein's remains sky-high. On the 2026 Congressional generic ballot, NC voters currently lean towards the Democrats.

There's no reconciling this. His 'policies' and actions are willy-nilly reactionism at best. He isn't even clear on why he issued the pardon. He is too busy focused on his fake peace prize, redecorating the White House, and putting his name on things.
Chris Hayes: Trump keeps justifying the killing of more than 80 men on boats in the Caribbean as a way to save Americans from drugs, but just this week he pardoned a man who helped traffic more than 500 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

I know: he’s a racist authoritarian who’s running a militantly racist government constantly doing and saying racist things, carrying out a highly militarized campaign of ethnic cleansing and also doing anti diversity crackdown all over the place. And yet…his racist rhetoric IS getting worse, somehow
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."
