I wonder if there's like, a SPECIFIC law the Belgian crypto billionaire libertarian wants to rewrite in his private island kingdom

Trump officials ordered to lift limits on lawmakers’ visits to ICE facilities A recent requirement that members of Congress give seven days’ notice before visiting ICE immigration detention centers is unlawful, a judge ruled.

A judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s efforts to prevent members of Congress from making unannounced visits to ICE facilities, a ruling lawmakers say will restore their ability to conduct real-time oversight into detention conditions.

Our grassroots pressure is working! Democrats forced a vote to extend ACA subsidies. But Mike Johnson is dodging it and eyeing a taxpayer-funded vacation. We have to keep up the pressure to force this vote and protect healthcare before subsidies expire.

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

Tonight the Convicted FElon gave a Primetime speech which I'm so glad I didn't watch or listen to. From what I have heard so far it was a total disaster. Massive lies, racism & rambling throughout. When will people wake up & get this FElon out?

Anyone notice that Speaker Johnson subtly dismissed Congress today so that they won't be in session on Friday?

Hmmm, anything big set to happen on Friday that might upset people?

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

Lone FCC Democrat warns of political pressure on media if agency loses independence The only Democrat on the Federal Communications Commission says chairman Brendan Carr's belief that the FCC isn't independent leaves news media vulnerable to political pressure.

FUCKIN FACTS 💯

We were married on this day in 1978... soulmates ever since. ❣️

Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened that’s on the cutting room floor? I don’t think there’s anything I missed that I wish I’d gotten. I’ll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, “Should I smile or not smile?” and I said, “How would you want to be portrayed?” We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, “You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.” And I looked at him and I said, “You know, you do, too.”

Holy. Shit.

Point/Counterpoint: No Blood For Oil vs. Exactly How Much Oil Are We Talking About?

Warnock: He's got a lot of nerve saying that I'm using faith to divide people. This is a man who literally had protesters gassed and beaten down so he could hold up a bible in front of a church.

very weird feeling watching a seemingly coked out president yell at you for 20 minutes straight

FURIOUS Dem UNLEASHES On Trump After FATAL MISTAKE YouTube video by Katie Phang

As someone who won’t wave the white flag, @jasmineforus.bsky.social wants to take the fight to the US Senate.

She joins me to talk about her campaign, the GOP’s failure to pass healthcare tax subsidies, & why Jack Smith was the perfect prosecutor for Donald Trump.

youtu.be/r7wZhr9XrcE?...

Yo, I can't stop laughing at this
He "medaled" himself🤣🤣🤣

The US Pirate President is seizing tankers off Venezuela's coast, claiming national security—but today's new Epstein files expose the global elite. Is one scandal a distraction from the other?

🚨LIVE on my YouTube at 6:30pm ET

OMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Rob Reiner gave us decades of laughter before politics poisoned everything.

After his death, Americans briefly remembered decency. trump reminded us why it’s so rare now.

If they weren't afraid to justify their actions, they'd release the video and make their case to Congress.

But they're far too busy chest thumping to care that they're dragging us into another forever war the American people do not want.

They seem to think they can kill whoever they want with no evidence and without Congressional approval.

And it's troubling that they're hiding behind classification to specifically avoid accountability and transparency to the American people.

The briefing with Hegseth and Rubio only reaffirmed what we already knew: the Trump Administration is in clear violation of domestic and international law—and our own Constitution.

It's all chest-thumping and zero answers.

If Trump believes these strikes are somehow justifiable, he needs to make his case to Congress and ask for authorization. That's not what's happening.

Border Patrol Boss Greg Bovino Back In Chicago As Agents Target Southwest Side Bovino returned with about 200 agents and descended on the Southwest Side, where organizers said about 15 people were arrested. "It's going to be a merry Christmas in Chicago," Bovino told Block Club.

To Trump, the holiday season means cruelty and intimidation.

Along with their cameras, his agents are prowling our streets, ripping folks out of cars and terrorizing our neighbors with assault weapons.

Using taxpayer dollars to create dystopian propaganda doesn't make us safer.

*taps sign*

Like Rep Gregory Meeks I want to know why Republicans are silent about Trump pardoning a narco who was convicted of smuggling 400 tons of drugs into the country.

The Republicans will NEVER let Jack Smith and the massive amount of evidence against Trump in a public hearing, they can’t because the evidence against Trump is incontrovertible.

Dems should hold an alt hearing somewhere other than at the Capitol.

Envisioning a World Without Trump A conversation with Tom Nichols

Trump’s speech exposed a broad spectrum of unwellness. Rushed, ranty, grievance-laden and a brutal slog for fact-checkers, the diatribe was a dog’s breakfast of barking self-pity, finger-pointing, statistical bullshit, and political tone-deafness.
