Husband. Grandfather by the grace of God. Lawyer. Farmer. Small businessman. Struggling musician. Dog daddy. Democrat. We can only save this country if we get money out of politics.
It’s time to let farmers who made the crappy business decision to vote for Trump go out of business, just like other business people who make crappy business decisions. No welfare.
Are farmers going to be on welfare for all 4 years of this Trump term, or just for 3 years like the first Trump term?
We get you like voting for government handouts, but we are $38 trillion in debt.

Trump’s farm bailout billions won’t actually go to struggling farmers - it will go to major, price-fixing behemoth ag corporations whose job it is to squeeze farmers for basically every cent they have.

This is why Biden should have looked at Roberts, Alito, Gorsuch, Thomas, Beer Boy and What’s-her-name and said “You are too corrupt to be a Supreme Court as the Founders intended; as head of the Executive Branch, I will give your decisions no weight and will not abide by them.”
We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

So Colin Allred has dropped out of the Texas US Senate race because Jasmine Crockett *might* enter the race?

Forcing consumers to buy a subscription is antiquated and guarantees that most paywalled content will never be read, which means lower salaries for fewer journalists. A lot more content would get sold if publications went to an Apple Music-style “pay-per-article” format.
complaining about paywalls when so many journalists are being laid off and there are fewer market incentives to do great reporting and in-depth investigations, data analysis and features is also wild when everyone understands you need to pay for electronics, streaming services, and utilities

One thing I think Trumpers and MAGA don’t seem to understand: If they hate being the “world’s policeman” and want to focus on Trump’s inane “sphere of influence” approach, WE DON’T NEED A HUGE MILITARY. We could - and should - reduce the budget by 40%.

Worse news - Republicans have been underfunding science since the 1990s. Employment opportunities for graduate students even then were pathologically bad.
My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”
Gutting. How many future scientists have we lost?

I guess the Trump administration’s new National Surrender Document has really horrified the Wall Street Journal. Such an abdication of power will inevitably have commercial and economic blowback.

Europe must have its own tech-infrastructure. It's too dangerous to be dependent on U.S. companies. We need to replace Amazon servers, Google search, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, ChatGPT, Nvidia, What'sApp etc with European versions. Or we might just be destroyed from within by fascist propaganda.

Texas Republicans also bet that Hispanics that voted for Trump in 2024 would say with him in 2026 and 2028. That was kind of stupid bet in retrospect, given how Trump polls with Hispanics now.
I think that map is going to end up backfiring on Texas. They’ve given up some bright red districts in hopes of gaining more red-ish ones.
In a high turnout election, a lot of those seats could very well turn blue.

Will this be another malformed “decision for the ages”? Yes, yes it will. The radical rightwing of the Court is deeply racist and deeply contemptuous of the American people and existing law.
The 14th Amendment says that all people born in America, regardless of race are citizens and have a right to equal protection under the law. For SCOTUS to be remotely confused on that text speaks to their racism, not the Constitution (1/3) www.cnn.com/2025/12/05/p...

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.
ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”.
Why is ICE harassing women?
