Does Trump have to give back the FIFA Peace Prize after he invades Venezuela, or does the FIFA guy really not care what he does because he needs a lot of favors for the World Cup and the whole thing is a ridiculous corrupt charade?

It’s just great that we finally have an FBI Director who is able to make time to keep the American people informed with updates on the relationship he has with his girlfriend. There will never be another one like him.

Classic Trump-style:
1) Announce something.
2) Wait for pushback.
3) Say you're not going to do it.
4) Pause.
5) Do it.

Hegseth needs to be asked directly and repeatedly (when he refuses to answer) whether he believes that a swastika is a hate symbol. Force them all to individually admit or refute that they’re nazis and fascists.

The U.S. Coast Guard "new workplace harassment policy ... downgrades the definition of swastikas and nooses from overt hate symbols to 'potentially divisive' despite an uproar over the new language that forced the service’s top officer to declare that both would remain prohibited."

Do read this. It’s by Brian Eno for @thenerve.news & it’s about this generation’s BandAid.

Lullaby is based on a traditional Palestinian melody, all proceeds go to Gaza, it would be amazing for it to be Xmas no 1, but more than that, buying it is a political act 👊
“Let's make Together for Palestine's record this year's Christmas No 1.” Musician and activist Brian Eno explains why one song in particular matters this Christmas.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Look at broader measures of unemployment—including people who want a job but aren't in the labor force or who are working part-time but want a full-time job—and the labor market is in the worst place since the pandemic

In essence, there has been no growth in the jobs base since Trump proclaimed "Liberation Day." Trump gets a disastrous report card. But no economists are surprised by it. www.ft.com/content/17a1...

I'm amazed that Zelenskyy could walk up the staircase with that knife in his back.

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

Istanbul. Alaska. Geneva. Results? Nothing.
Why? Because:
Russia doesn’t want peace.
Team Trump wants business deals.
Europe refuses to shape events in Europe.

Berlin will be no different.

There are reports Zelensky may say Ukr is dropping NATO aspirations. Given that the US is blocking Ukr for NATO and may abandon NATO, this is realism. But when Ru says "good, but we want XYZ also" it will confirm for the nteenth time that Ru doesn't care about NATO; it wants to subjugate Ukraine.

OK then, what was the action? What has the Trump admin done? What proposals have they made? They have only ever offered “thoughts and prayers” on social media. Nothing else.

Putin claimed Ukrainian forces were "surrounded" in Kupiansk. He invited foreign journalists to visit—offered a 5-6 hour ceasefire so they could see the encircled troops safely.

Today, Zelenskyy walked in freely.

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted
