Oxford University Press has chosen “rage bait” as its 2025 Word of the Year. The open-compound word, which beat out “biohack” and “aura farming,” goes back at least to 2002. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/a...

Seems like a weird thing to tweet on the day when your boss said he’d pardon someone convicted of sending 400 tons of cocaine into the US.

Good move. That stunt in the White House did you no good.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has retreated from the national stage in recent months, privately expressing ambivalence about running for president in 2028 — moves that have stunned many top Democrats.
Ambivalence or Strategy? Whitmer retreats from 2028 spotlight
Whitmer, who many Democrats have seen as a top-tier presidential candidate, appears to have done little to raise her national profile since last spring.

also we now have a “whites only” refugee policy. they aren’t trying to hide the white supremacy anymore. it’s overt and mainstream.
Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

MAGA learned from global autocrats the language needed to push fear.

By using the term "gender ideology," the right seeks to cast gender identity not as something you are, but as something dangerous that you believe.

I didn’t think 2025 would get a better visual metaphor than the pic of Elon Musk’s micropenis car on fire outside a Trump hotel.

Or inaugurating a racist on MLK Day.

Or tearing down the East Wing of the White House.

But apparently we have a new winner:

A chance to crowdsource reporting.
The Trump administration has found a devious way to force local governments to submit to ICE and end DEI.
This is a story that YOU can do something about.
