NEW: Pentagon lawyers asked State Dept. if US could send survivors of Trump's boat strikes to a notorious prison in El Salvador. Then Pentagon pushed to have survivors sent anywhere but the US — to prevent any US court cases. Gift link to our @nytimes.com story: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/u...

We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

At this point, Trump has no relevance. He's just some old guy flapping his lips and taking bribes.

A leaked DOJ memo obtained by @kenklippenstein.bsky.social reveals an effort to build a list of supposedly "anti-American" groups and individuals, an escalation of the administration's crackdown on dissent. The list targets "not just the left" but "anyone who isn't a Trump supporter," he says.

typical 'Trump deal' - make up an answer (devoid of information/facts) - leaves someone else to figure it out/make it work - and sadly in this case - it won't work...
tough break #republicans 👿

Trump wants a health care deal. He’s leaving the details to Congress.
Several GOP lawmakers have proposals to address the year-end expiration of enhanced ACA subsidies.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

A demand of NATO was they accept no new members, ever

Not just Ukraine

It's not a vote on NATO displacement—it's a veto of NATO principles

EU was also assigned a $100 billion obligation to fund the rebuilding of Ukraine

The deal included an amnesty for war crimes—which Putin is desperate for
The Plan. The Corruption. The Reality
Paul Niland examines exactly what is being demanded of Ukraine by Trump, Witkoff and Putin's 'peace plan', and asks for what price are American oligarchs so blatantly selling out an ally?

The threats from unchecked AI are real — worker displacement, corporate surveillance, invasion of privacy, environmental destruction, unmanned warfare.

Today, a tiny number of billionaires are shaping the future of AI behind closed doors. That is unacceptable. That must change.

I don't know. How are we paying for the massive giveaways to billionaires? Why isn't anyone asking that? Why is it always about programs that HELP people?

Days before Kirk was killed, there were all kinds of weird searches related to the alleged shooter & the hospitals & doctors in the area

To be clear, we’re talking about sudden spikes on terms which previously had no search data

Most of those spikes came from, you guessed it… Washington & Tel Aviv
Google trends for Washington DC and Tel Aviv expose another CIA/Mossad assassination
In a weird coincidence, Google data shows that someone searched for Rahmanullah Lakanwal before he carried out the shooting of two National Guards in Washington DC on 26 November.
