It's wrong when a large amount of a person's sparse income is spent on all of the taxes in their lives yet those at the top can pay their tax bills with what is essentially change they find in their couch.

Percentages cover up the truth of how unchecked wealth is wrecking our nation and its people.

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

New in PN: A band-aid on a festering hand wound

"The Epstein files and illegal boat strikes aren’t the only coverups taking place right now in the White House. There’s also something clearly wrong with the president’s health that the administration is trying to conceal from the public."
A band-aid on a festering hand wound
Something's up with Trump's health and we should really find out what it is.

If you’re running for Congress, maybe talk about passing a bill to refund everyone the difference in their health premiums for 2026 if republicans fail to pass ACA subsidy extensions.

The only surefire way to stop oligarchs buying up the things we love is to drop those things the moment oligarchs buy them & that requires changing habits and massive self-discipline.
It means going to alternatives that might not be quite as good or convenient.
It’s really hard. But there it is.

Note how the Kennedy Center ribbons are blue, instead of the traditional rainbow colors. Because the Trump administration never gets too preoccupied with its racism to overlook its homophobia.

Minn AG Keith Ellison on my show explains that The head of massive fraud ring in Minnesota was NOT a Somali American as Trump claims. Rather a white woman named Aimee Bock was convicted as being the mastermind. But Trump spewed this lie to give his base some racist red meat.

European reaction to the new American national strategy document
The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this:

The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

Republican Elite (last week): treason to tell military to not obey illegal orders & we would never give illegal orders

Republican Elite (yesterday): we stand by orders to kill unarmed survivors of our attacks clinging to boats

Republican Elite (today): military deserves all blame for illegal acts

"Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved.

Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath, but never a source of God's mercy, generosity, or compassion."

I am really losing patience with Americans who treat their elected officials like celebrities they have to defend, instead of representatives they have to hold responsible. Grow the fuck up. Millions of lives are at stake.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.

This isn’t controversial.

A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott.

From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

Sorting through my memories of everything that happened on Tuesday, and reflecting on how some of the first phone calls I got and first people I saw onsite were union leaders in Saint Paul. I don’t know that unions ever get the credit they deserve for showing up for ALL workers, all the time.

AP and others *have* been on the ground and interviewing families and telling their stories, and the people on the boats appear to the mostly working class low-level people smuggling cocaine, not hardened cartel operatives bringing in fentanyl as the admin repeatedly has suggested.
Cotton on Trump's boat strikes: "Use common sense. If any of these had been boats full of fisherman or refugees, CNN would've already been on the ground & interviewed all their families & told their stories. We can be confident all of these strikes have been against cartel-based drug traffickers."

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.

A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.

We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.
