You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too.

Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

3 Californias. 200 Wyomings.
This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

I guess "government healthcare" is different from tweeting at the president to have him give you preferential treatment for your cancer.

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...

For those keeping track at home, that's $2.5 million per win, or $5 million if you're limiting it to conference appointments.

Unless the new trick is making the subway free (it's not) I bet they won't!
Subway and bus fare evasion cost New York City’s transit system nearly $1 billion last year. Will an arsenal of new tricks turn things around? trib.al/BzbS2FD

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

"The purpose of a system is what it does."
Applying Beer's Maxim we can clearly see that the purpose of the Lurie administration is to make housing more expensive and to make transit worse. abc7news-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/abc7news...

Again, this is a liquidation of the union in all but letter of the law. This is reverse secessionism engineered by a central government.
NEW: White House announces it's going to pause, and potentially cancel, $11 billion in infrastructure funding (via the Army Corps of Engineers), specifically citing cities, like New York, represented or led by Democrats. More to come.
