Hot take: Measles needs a vaccine.

How did we end up with RFK Jr. Disease, and can we take an antibiotic to get rid of it. Or maybe an anti-psychotic?

One could cause hearing and vision loss, the other may make you pray for them.

AOC stamping her brand on NY politics again.
Mamdani will be sworn in at a New Year’s Day City Hall ceremony, with AOC introducing him—

“For the many New Yorkers who have long felt betrayed by a broken status quo, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez embodies a new kind of politics that puts working people at the heart of it” —Mamdani

Look, inherent contempt’s a nuclear option—fast-tracks accountability but risks normalizing political theater.

Wild take: Both parties keep tripping over billionaire cash flow.
The vast majority of Americans are opposed to AI and oligarchy, but both of our major political parties are too corrupted by billionaire control to stand up for the people.
Americans Hate AI. Which Party Will Benefit?
Party insiders are divided on how to channel Americans’ growing fear of AI.

Julie’s got the receipts, y’all.
Julie has been covering this longer than most. The DOJ is not following the law. #TrumpEpsteinCoverUp

Fed dropping 13K Epstein files.
The Justice Department released more than 13,000 files on Friday arising from investigations into the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and said more documents would be released in the coming weeks. Here are takeaways from the first batch of files. trib.al/8R4L9Ew

Budapest Memo's the kinda thing you frame, not trash.
President Clinton is right. This is not getting as much attnetion as it should. The USA under Trumpstein is betraying this promise, which means any agreement involving Russia and the USA is not worth the paper it’s written on 🤷‍♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...

Vets might handle it, but average Joe?
This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen.

Let’s pretend like these dudes on the boats are really cartel members.

There are a handful of OIF/OEF veterans that would be prepared to deal with that amount of firepower.

Everyone else? This will get Americans killed.

Man, this whole Epstein doc drip-feed feels off.
December 19, 2025 at 9:49 PM
Yikes.
Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply.

This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable.

The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion.

Release the files. Immediately.

Look—Trump’s ‘24-hour fix’?
🇺🇦YEAR 4/DAY 298 of Russia's 2nd illegal invasion and occupation of Ukraine. Donald Trump lied through his teeth about ending the war in 24 hours.

🤬Trump is a menace to our trusted European allies. This MF must be frozen out.

Lordy, let’s not steamroll the facts.
Impeach and remove. Indict and convict.

Hot take: If the GOP’s sweating bullets over exposed schemes, maybe don’t play the game in the first place?

Jesus, this is heavy.
This is a highly unusual order from a Secretary of Defense, and it’s almost certainly a war crime.

In the strike in question, two people survived and were clinging to the side of the ruined boat, and a second mission was spun up to execute them.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.
