House GOP wants $4 TRILLION dollar debt ceiling increase.

You marks really thought the world’s richest man and the guy with the golden toilet seats were really going to “fight the elites” for you?

Nah, they just want their tax breaks.

We woke up this morning to ICE raids in Denver.
The kids ditched classes to join up in mass. Pictures of the capital don't do it justice, people were marching in a loop chanting Fuck Trump and deport Elon.
Vehicles driving nearby honking their horns in support.

Here is what happens when you call, an aide has to answer then that aide has to write down the inquiry, that is presented to your politician. Now times it be 1000% and that aide is now stressed, lines get disconnected, the stress created is transferred to the politician. The pressure builds up.
"People are waking up. Our office's phones are overwhelmed today. This rally tonight to protest Musk and Trump's seizure of our personal data was supposed to have a few hundred people and 1000+ showed up."

The only thing that unites the GOP today is being Donald Trump's sycophants. Now it has spread to the billionaire class, legacy media and large corporations. They are throwing money at Trump.

It is up to us to build and lead a new opposition movement.

Russian asset Assad apologist Tulsi Gabbard has only met with MAGA senators and refuses to meet with any Democrats as well as republicans who are against her corrupt nomination as DNI.

Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris warned everyone about her and they were right and ignored.

Supreme Court 18-year term limit bill should be just the beginning:

— 13 justices
— 7 clerks per justice
— single 18-year term
— binding code of ethics with punishments all the way up to impeachment
— full investigation of corrupt gifts to Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, et al.

If you are a leader who previously boasted about your pro-democracy positions, you have a greater obligation. If you feel obliged to obey Trump, spare us your justifications and rationalizations and just tell us you are too scared to continue the fight. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/now-...

The FSB you say!
A fascinating US criminal case that flew under the radar. On Nov. 21, Nomma “Alyssa” Zarubina, a Russian woman living in the US, was arrested by the FBI in New York, charged with lying to the FBI. Per the FBI affidavit, she lied about her contacts with Russia’s FSB, between 2020-2022.

"Trump won the crucial blue wall states... by 231,000 votes? So if just 116,000 voters across those three swing states – or 0.7% of the total – had switched from Trump to Harris, it is the vice-president who would have won the electoral college … and the presidency" - me for the Guardian:
