NEW: Israel has committed at least 497 ceasefire violations, killing at least 342 Palestinians since the U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel & Hamas went into effect on Oct. 10.

An Israeli ‘kamikaze’ drone targeted a car on a busy Gaza City street on Nov. 22, killing 5 Palestinians.

Jeannette Garcia is affiliated with Turning Point Action and an Avondale City Council member. She’s being sued for allegedly sexually harassing another Turning Point employee and then drunkenly kidnapping his daughter alongside another Turning Point employee after he rejected Garcia’s advances.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:

1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

The tech giant deleted the accounts of three prominent Palestinian human rights groups — a capitulation to Trump sanctions.

❗️ President Trump does not care if you can’t pay your health care premiums.
❗️ President Trump does not care about you or your children.

❌ President Trump only cares about himself and his billionaire buddies.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

BREAKING: Federal prosecutors said today they went to a grand jury twice to indict a D.C. woman for assaulting an FBI agent during an arrest by ICE — and were twice rejected.

Notably, she faces the same charge as the District's alleged sandwich thrower.

If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare…

Straight out of Project 2025:

ICE is now the single largest federal law enforcement agency in the history of the nation, with enough funding to hire more law enforcement agents than the FBI and more detention potentially than the entire Bureau.

we got some of the very worst bits out but the core of the bill remains: gutting medicaid, supercharging ICE

this is a disaster and a good reminder that there are no good republicans - murkowski betrayed us all, collins would have voted yes if murk hadn't saved her, paul wanted it to be worse
The Senate has officially passed the MAGA murder budget 51-50. Collins, Tillis, Paul join Dems on the no side.

This now goes back to the House, where the HFC is as usual making ugly noises. Rules Committee will meet this afternoon, which will give us an early look at what (if anything( they mean.
Quick stakes reminder: with the exception of the health insurance losses being kept at 16-17 million and the gender-affirming care ban being dropped, this is all still true.

We call it the MAGA Murder Budget because it's gonna kill jobs, industries, freedom, and a lot of people.

The person who tweeted that we should "denaturalize and deport" Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was Chris Rufo's longtime assistant and is now working in an official position under Russell Vought in the WH OMB office. This is not just Trumpian bluster.

People don’t want to admit, or can’t understand that fascism of the kind of Trump and the Republicans are a part of is a process, and we are far into the process already. Fascism is not just the end act and industrial death it’s the lock step social and political process that destroys all pushback.

Since May:

Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time.

Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time.

A judiciary at war with itself.

I didn’t have the Supreme Court destroying the authority of federal district courts on my bingo card. But in retrospect that’s perhaps where all this shadow docket decision-making was going all along.

Really scary stuff.

Sorry, but I’m all out of sympathy. Farmers who supported Trump should have known exactly what they’d be getting. After all, pretty much his entire campaign was based on his vitriolic hatred of undocumented workers, coupled with his idiotic tariff policy.

You reap what you sow, guys.
