BREAKING: FBI Director Kash Patel promises to punish Bolton "as far as the law allows," possibly seeking life in prison, after thousands of classified documents were discovered. "The proof is irrefutable."

My iPhone has decided I’m no longer the same person. Face ID has stopped working. I even reset it, and after that it’s like, “Who the fuck are you?”

I just saw a commercial saying that the Golden Globes are live on January 11, and this was my thought process: “Well, that’s an old commercial. We’re already several months into this year. Oh wait, it’s December. Oh shit! It’s almost January!”

Albanian PM Edi Rama mocked Trump to Macron: “You should congratulate Ilham Aliyev and me. Trump has ended the conflict between Albania and Azerbaijan” Earlier Trump claimed he ended a war between Albania and Azerbaijan. It was a war between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Trump’s calling Greg Abbott and red states to rig the 2026 election by redrawing Congressional lines. California’s fighting back. 🗳 On November 4th, Californians will vote in a special election to protect your voice, uphold fair representation, and stop Trump’s power grab.

Great way to run ... *checks notes* ... the National Security Division?! If you are a DOJ employee and have other examples of Pam Bondi's mismanagement or partisan management of the Justice Department or other petty-appearing behavior, please reach out via a nonwork phone on Signal: crg.32

I’ve seen a lot of comments on Twitter from the low forehead crowd about how great a market crash is, but I just sent out letters to 11 girls whose families live below the poverty level, telling them we had to withdraw their scholarships because our endowment lost millions because of Donald Trump.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but tariffs don't bring any money at all into America. They redistribute money which is already here. Mostly from the poor and the middle class to the government.

The economy is in free fall. The markets are collapsing. Our soldiers are dying. Our sensitive information is being leaked over text message and gmail. Random people are being kidnapped and sent to foreign torture prisons. And Trump is fucking golfing.

At a time when the world is down to a single drug that can reliably cure gonorrhea, the U.S. government has shuttered the country’s premier sexually transmitted diseases laboratory, leaving experts aghast and fearful about what lies ahead.

House Democrats will continue to strongly oppose the reckless Republican budget scheme. Hands off Medicaid, our veterans and nutritional assistance for the children of America.

The overlooked story of the day: Trump said he'd love to send American citizens to prison camps—the same camps his own admin argued in court he has no authority to extract people from if they're sent wrongly. Don't forget, he calls anyone who doesn't support him criminals, the "enemy within," etc.

Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽@joshuaeakle.com

Reporter: "The President of El Salvador said he would be willing to take American citizens [into his prison camps]." Trump: "I love that... I'd be honored to give them... if they can house these criminals... I'm all for it." This is totalitarianism.

when we learned about peasants smelting pig iron in their backyards during the Great Leap Forward it would have been nice to know that this was less of a “history lesson” and more of a “sneak preview”

Our fascist government put a third-grader in handcuffs.

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social

A mother and her three children were snatched by ICE from a dairy farm in Sackets Harbor, a rural town in northern New York. But the location is no coincidence—Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, LIVES THERE. He allowed his own neighbors, including a third grader, to be jailed. Deplorable.

Looks the same way to me: deliberate slow-walking of compliance with court orders, obscured in a “fog bank” of false information, is the way I describe their contumacy. In time, we’ll get the emails and depositions to prove it. turnto10.com/news/local/f...

Trump says he wants to send Americans to gulags in El Salvador: "I love that. If we could take some of our 20 time wiseguys that push people into subways ... if he would take them, I would be honored to give them. I don't know what the law says on that ... I'm all for it."

Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head. He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison. Bring them back!

EAST COAST: TUNE IN NOW TO @cbsnews.com @60minutes.bsky.social THE PRISONERS – The Trump admin says they are all violent gang members and terrorists. But after obtaining internal government documents, 60 MINUTES could find no criminal records for most of the prisoners. #FreeAndry #JusticeforAndry
