BREAKING: The U.S. Coast Guard has quietly enacted a policy downgrading swastikas and nooses from hate symbols to “potentially divisive.” The manual is now in effect, despite public outrage and warnings after the draft was revealed last month. (Washington Post)

Seems like the FBI is not really covering itself in glory these days
Gotta say it's mindblowing to me that the Brown shooter is still at large and they don't even seem to have identified who they're looking for.

Being the director of the FBI and releasing a couples podcast while a mass shooter is on the loose is a wild choice
lot of awful and insane stuff going on. but if you really want to have a brain bleed this holiday season don't lose sight of Stephen Miller's wife doing a video podcast with the FBI director and his gf about their love life

History rhymes HARD sometimes.

What an ancient rebellion--

and a medieval midrash featuring ancient surveillance & a desperate bride named Hannah bat Mattisyahu, a heroine kindling revolt--

can teach us about not only igniting,

but winning, against the moral evils in our midst today:

Weekend talks with centrist Republicans on a health care amendment collapsed. Enhanced tax credits will expire, raising costs in 2026
The Republican Party is bent on destroying the United States, and this will be a huge step toward that goal.
This is why I was urging folks to go ahead & enroll in the assumption that they wouldn’t be extended.

Gov. Shapiro on Vance's visit to PA: “This guy shows up and lies to the good people of Pennsylvania and tries to convince them to unsee something they saw with their own eyes — rising prices at the grocery store and elsewhere…I know they'll reject JD's BS.”

The Republican propaganda that Trump “inherited” a bad economy from Biden and is making it better is the exact opposite of true. The numbers don’t lie and people know what they are experiencing.

Healthcare is f**k up because republicans believe that companies should make profit from your cancer and their solution to it being unaffordable is to open healthcare up to more companies to make more profits.

Rob Reiner was a supremely gifted icon who forever influenced the course of American cinema. He was also kind-hearted, open-minded, curious, and a fierce advocate for what he believed in. Let us all strive to be more like this fine man.

While many Republicans running for Congress in swing districts are going to try to distance themselves from Trump, Miller, Kash, Hegseth, RFK Jr, et al, they enabled ALL of it. They all supported Mike Johnson for Speaker, who abdicated all oversight and congressional authority.
