Why I despise Trump supporters for enabling this hell

I'm not writing to you today about all the things I am thankful for as our 2025 holiday season visits us, because I am too damn busy with what makes me furious to type otherwise. We are a country at war against fascism, and its racist, evil residue. We are at war against a dark, lawless, centralized force that does not believe all men and women are created equal, and do the bidding of soulless billionaires who fund all this hell to pad their absurd fortunes.

Retired Army general fears Trump's 'retribution campaign' will have 'chilling effect'

In a video released in late November, a group of military veterans -- including Sens. Mark Kelly (D-Arizona) and Elissa Slotkin (D-Michigan) and Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colorado) -- urged members of the U.S. Armed Forces to disobey orders from President Donald Trump if they are blatantly illegal. In response, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is saying that Kelly will be investigated for his role in the video. But the Arizona senator isn't backing down. During a Sunday, November 30 appearance on NBC News' "Meet the Press," Kelly called out former Fox News host Hegseth as the most unqualified defense secretary in the history of the Pentagon.

Dems shockingly competitive in deep-red House district Trump won by 22 percent

When Tuesday night, November 4 arrived, Democratic strategists were on pins and needles as they awaited returns in 2025's off-year elections. And there was a lot of good news for Democrats, from double-digit victories in gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey to landslide wins in three Pennsylvania Supreme Court retention votes. Those elections were widely viewed as a referendum on Donald Trump's second presidency, giving Democrats some optimism about the 2026 midterms.

TN Republican rejects Trump's election scheme following slur against the disabled

After Democrats enjoyed a wide range of victories in 2025's off-year elections -- from gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey to three Pennsylvania Supreme Court retention elections -- President Donald Trump and his MAGA allies doubled down on their gerrymandering/redistricting efforts in red states. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, meanwhile, is encouraging fellow Democrats to fight "fire with fire" by doing some gerrymandering of their own.

One major Jeffrey Epstein connection is flying under the radar: analysis

Before he was accused of sex trafficking of minors, disgraced billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein interacted with a long list of prominent figures -- from now-President Donald Trump to former President Bill Clinton to economist and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers. That isn't to say that all the politicians, bankers and economists who knew Epstein were actually involved in his crimes in any way. Michael Cohen, Trump's former personal attorney and fixer and now a scathing critic of the president, told MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) that when he was working for the Trump Organization, he "never heard Jeffrey Epstein on the phone or even call into the office."

Ex-GOP strategist tears apart CNN Trump 'shill's' flawed 'rationalizations'

Like Fox News' Sean Hannity, CNN's Scott Jennings often draws scathing criticism and mockery from Donald Trump opponents for stridently defending the president at every turn. Much of the criticism comes from Democrats, yet right-wing Never Trumpers have major disagreements with Jennings as well. Some of those Never Trumpers are at CNN, including SE Cupp and Florida-based Ana Navarro (a Nicaraguan immigrant who, in the past, helped former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and other Republicans with their Latino outreach).

Trump admin selling off historic public art to the highest bidder

Painted figures haunt an empty building. A boy leaning on a pair of crutches. A father and son wandering a barren railroad track. A nuclear family at a picnic table. These poignant scenes were painted by two of the foremost American artists of the twentieth century, Ben Shahn and Philip Guston. No one is around to see them. They are on the walls of the Wilbur J. Cohen Building in Washington, DC, one of forty-five federal properties currently earmarked for sale. The staff who worked in the building have been mostly fired, furloughed, or relocated. Only the murals remain""and perhaps not for long.

True taxpayer cost of Trump's golf obsession may be even worse than reported $71 million

During former President Barack Obama's eight years in the White House, Donald Trump repeatedly attacked him for spending too much time playing golf. Trump, in 2016, claimed that if he won the presidential election and defeated Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, he would be too busy helping the American people to play golf. But according to a 2020 fact-check from CNN, Trump spent a lot more time playing golf than Obama -- 266 days playing golf by May 2020 compared to Obama playing 98 rounds by May 2012.

Legal experts accuse Trump official of 'murder' after new reporting

Former top military lawyers on Saturday said that new reporting on orders personally given by US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in early September, when the military struck the first of nearly two dozen boats in the Caribbean, suggests Hegseth has committed "war crimes, murder, or both." The Former Judge Advocates General (JAGs) Working Group, which includes former officials who served as legal advisers for the military, issued a statement in response to the Washington Post 's reporting on the September 2 attack on a boat in the Caribbean""the first strike on a vessel in an ongoing operation that the Trump administration has claimed is aimed at stopping drug trafficking.

Companies promoting controversial Trump policy facing angry 'consumer revolt'

Although MS NOW host, Never Trump conservative and ex-GOP Congressman Joe Scarborough often says that the United States' immigration laws must be obeyed and enforced, he is vehemently critical of the way in which President Donald Trump's United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids are being carried out. Scarborough considers the raids reckless and blatantly cruel.

'Rumors were true' as another Republican quits Congress after Greene

The suspicion that other Republican lawmakers might follow MAGA firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene out of Congress appears to have some foundation. U.S. Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) announced on Saturday that he is retiring from Congress roughly one week after Greene's own announcement that she was abandoning her seat in January. "Before making this decision, I called President Trump personally to let him know of my plans. President Trump has always been a strong ally for our district and a true friend, and I wanted him to hear it from me first," Nehls posted on X.

GOP insiders hoping for 'ceasefire' in MAGA's 'burgeoning civil war'

Although President Donald Trump demands total, unquestioning loyalty from his MAGA allies, there is no shortage of infighting within the MAGA movement. There are considerable tensions between Tesla/SpaceX/X.com head Elon Musk and Steve Bannon, host of the "War Room" vodcast and former White House chief strategist in the first Trump Administration.
