The WSJ lays out in clear terms how the Trump administration wants to bribe Americans:

"The tax-policy strategy is simple: Put money in voters’ wallets and get rewarded at the polls. In reality, it is a double-bank shot with little guarantee of success. "

Do not believe AI unless you know the source of data and the algorythm used.
Authoritarian regimes need to control the narrative.

Trump’s billionaire allies control the AI you're asking for answers, the algorithms feeding you content, and your personal data.

The news and your privacy are now what #Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

This is by design.

Thank you.
Ed Martin is a key part of the Trump admin’s attacks on his perceived political enemies.

Martin’s reportedly conducting official business on personal devices and autodeleting messaging apps.

We expanded our lawsuit for records related to Martin.

Thank you @katiephang.bsky.social for your work.
It’s die or be deported
An ICE detainee is the victim of “homicide” according to an autopsy report, and he is just one of 3 deaths in 44 days at this Texas ICE detention facility.

I've got the latest details, including DHS' efforts to silence and deport the eyewitnesses to this homicide.

Thank you for your commitment to truth telling. God bless.
A Reagan-appointed judge declares there's an “unconstitutional conspiracy” be/Convicted Felon Donald Trump & Cabinet members to “deprive people of their rights."

I've got the scathing ruling, incl. that federal agents are masked to "terrorize Americans into quiescence.”

Q: Did you invite Putin to be on the Board of Peace?

TRUMP: Yeah. He's been invited

Q: Thoughts on Macron saying he won't join?

TRUMP: Did he say that? Nobody wants him bc he's going to be out of office very soon. If they feel hostile, I'll put a 200% tariff on his wines & champagnes & he'll join

I agree. Why is Ka ty Tur still at @msnownews.bsky.social
Rachel, bone to pick..
Why is Katy Tur on MS NOW? She is married to a MAGA.
She is not anyone who should be on MS NOW. Do any of you really believe she is not one of them? She can not be impartial and has shown signs she is is not.
Katy Tur needs to go.

He is lying.
FOX NEWS: The officer involved in the Minneapolis shooting -- does the president stand fully behind him? Does he think his action were justified?

LEAVITT: Absolutely. President Trump was right about this all along. This deranged lunatic woman was trying to ram him over with her vehicle.

We need a Shadow Kennedy Center to step up. A performance space where these artists can perform, connect with their audiences and make up for some lost ticket sales. Their show of courage should be rewarded and celebrated. Publicly and loudly.

Your coverage is not complete nor is it accurate @washingtonpost.com @oversightdemocrats.house.gov
This year, millions of American families that have relied on Obamacare are being squeezed on multiple sides: Premiums are rising, covid-era subsidies are shrinking, and there are fewer choices with insurers pulling out of some markets.
As insurers retreat from Obamacare, a working family is caught in the squeeze
Consumers are left with few options and crushing prices as insurers offering Affordable Care Act plans pull out of some regions.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

I agree. We need the nyt to do better.
This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

@fobes.bsky.social the DOJ did not comply with thev Law.
By 1:30pm today, Democracy Docket had already published that the DOJ files release was incomplete and violated federal law.

Why did it take so many legacy media outlets until this evening to come to the same conclusion?
🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice will fail to publicly release all of its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by a Friday deadline, violating a new federal law explicitly mandating that the trove of documents be turned over for public scrutiny. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I AGREE with Rep Ro khanna.
Breaking:

Rep. Ro Khanna says the Trump DOJ's production "does not comply with" the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Khanna says he and Rep. Thomas Massie "are exploring all options" — including impeachment of DOJ officials, inherent contempt, or referring individuals for obstruction of justice.

You are 100 per cent correct.
Trump is using national security as an excuse to impose new tariffs on kitchen cabinets.

This is what happens when “damage to national security” has no clear definition.

It leads to overclassification and more government secrets.

Watch @laurenleharper.bsky.social explain.
