The president's creepy obsession with me is deeply unhealthy.

Trump falls back on the same tired bigotry to distract from his obvious failures.

His recycled xenophobia won’t intimidate me or silence my fight for the people of Minnesota’s 5th District.

NEW, from me: One startling stat captures just how badly the year went for the GOP.

Democrats flipped 21% of all GOP-held legislative seats at play.

That's thanks to gains they made in six states this year, and I break it all down in my latest:

It is driving me crazy that I’m not seeing widespread coverage of these statements by the President.

This is a big deal!

If a news organization isn’t putting this in front of their readers/viewers, they are failing at their job to inform the public.
Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."

The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"

Obviously this is not a defense of Greene, but it's clear that the secret sauce of Trump 2 is death threats and it's good when people who are receiving them start talking about it. That's the only way we get through this time.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I sent those deaths threats directly to him in a text message & informed him of what his name calling & words were doing - it was a direct assassination threat on my son. And he was extremely - I won't repeat what he said - but it was extremely unkind. No sympathy. No care"

📌Trump and his grotesque Republicans aren't possible without Rupert Murdoch's Fox propaganda station.

Watch even 15 minutes of it, as I just did, and it defies belief. It's the same shit Putin is feeding Russians.

The current Supreme Court has forfeited all legitimacy.

Democrats (and everyone) need to address that reality.

John Roberts > Roger Taney.

Court needs to expand. And have fixed terms—like *every* other supreme court in developed world. And have ethics rules, like all normal organizations.

Note: Fox ran a segment on the Chicago ICE Nativity, which is at the church of a pastor who recently went viral for being arrested while protesting ICE.

That pastor told me the church has since seen an influx of volatile messages.

“There’s been some suggestions that I should kill myself,” he said.
In Chicago, a Nativity scene features a zip-tied baby Jesus and Roman centurions in "ICE" vests.

Near Boston, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus are absent from a Nativity scene, replaced with a sign reading "ICE was here."

It's all part of growing religious blowback to ICE. religionnews.com/2025/12/05/i...
ICE Nativity scenes: Churches reimagine Christmas story amid deportations
(RNS) — 'We know that Jesus was born into a Roman imperial occupation, and pretty much immediately becomes a refugee in Egypt, has to flee and faces political violence,' the Rev. Michael Woolf said.

Yep, the Supreme Court really is just a House of Lords—a purely political branch with bizarre veto power, wielded capriciously and without accountability. Time for massive reform.
