One thing I think Trumpers and MAGA don’t seem to understand: If they hate being the “world’s policeman” and want to focus on Trump’s inane “sphere of influence” approach, WE DON’T NEED A HUGE MILITARY. We could - and should - reduce the budget by 40%.

Worse news - Republicans have been underfunding science since the 1990s. Employment opportunities for graduate students even then were pathologically bad.
My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”
Gutting. How many future scientists have we lost?

In his heart, Tom Cotton is a murderer. A criminal. As are any other Republicans defending this crime.
WELKER: Lawmakers say the 2 men appeared to raise their arms potentially to surrender. Why did Admiral Bradley interpret these actions as anything other than them trying to survive?
TOM COTTON: They were sitting or standing on top of a capsized boat. They weren't floating helplessly in the water

The birth of our solar system - at last, closing up the penultimate page of this mammoth chapter exploring the origin of the universe in all its swirls of different sorts... It's been a long trip. And there is, to be sure, a lot going on on this page :)

CUELLAR: Look, it’s un-American for the Republican Party to hog all of the criminals and felons - we have to save at least one for the Democratic Party.
BARTIROMO: Have you considered switching parties?
CUELLAR: Look, I'm a Democrat
BARTIROMO: Okay, but Trump is out with a new Truth Social saying saying, "next time, no more Mr Nice Guy"
CUELLAR: I was at church this morning praying for the president

I guess the Trump administration’s new National Surrender Document has really horrified the Wall Street Journal. Such an abdication of power will inevitably have commercial and economic blowback.

Europe must have its own tech-infrastructure. It's too dangerous to be dependent on U.S. companies. We need to replace Amazon servers, Google search, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, ChatGPT, Nvidia, What'sApp etc with European versions. Or we might just be destroyed from within by fascist propaganda.

Texas Republicans also bet that Hispanics that voted for Trump in 2024 would say with him in 2026 and 2028. That was kind of stupid bet in retrospect, given how Trump polls with Hispanics now.
I think that map is going to end up backfiring on Texas. They’ve given up some bright red districts in hopes of gaining more red-ish ones.
In a high turnout election, a lot of those seats could very well turn blue.

Will this be another malformed “decision for the ages”? Yes, yes it will. The radical rightwing of the Court is deeply racist and deeply contemptuous of the American people and existing law.
The 14th Amendment says that all people born in America, regardless of race are citizens and have a right to equal protection under the law. For SCOTUS to be remotely confused on that text speaks to their racism, not the Constitution (1/3) www.cnn.com/2025/12/05/p...

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.
ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”.
Why is ICE harassing women?

🚨 The Trump administration is bragging about investors fleeing to Treasuries—when that’s a panic signal, not a victory. Money moves to bonds when people expect recession or crisis.

Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child
