Thousands of Americans are getting sick from a foodborne parasite, and federal regulators have still not publicly identified the source. So what's been happening in the federal government over the past year that might be a factor in this outbreak? 🧵⬇️

Every American should be disgusted by this.

A must read FB post from Steve McEachern: (It’s a bit long, but worth it.) I’m Canadian. That means I don’t get a vote in American elections. But don’t get it twisted — I’ve still got skin in this bloody game. When the United States lights the world on fire, the smoke drifts north, 1/21

So far, Vance’s foreign policy record is yelling at Zelensky for not thanking Trump enough, campaigning for AfD in Germany and Orban in Hungary, getting rejected by the Pope on his invite to the US, and failing in the Iran negotiations.

Like a Disney movie.

What’s the German word for the despair that comes when yesterday was 75 degrees and sunny, and today is 49 and rainy, and you thought you could shed some layers, stand up straight again and just be, but obviously you cannot?

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying. This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you. In the US Senate, I’ve got plan to ban it.

This is 100% true. Pay the TSA agents.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were. These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War. Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35 Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42 Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39 Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

I encourage everyone to sit with the term "ethics waiver" for a minute.

The current person in charge of ICE's procurement for detention is a GEO Group executive who ran the company's immigration detention portfolio. He was granted an "ethics waiver" from DHS allowing him to hand out contracts to GEO in his new role.

NO LIES 👇 DETECTED.......

Something I think a lot of people aren't clear on, Liam's parents have followed the legal process of claiming asylum. They are here LEGALLY. Liam was being used to try to lure someone ELSE out of the house. He and his father were taken because that failed. Now ... they seek revenge.

How many times in your life have you heard a member of Congress or someone on TV say “we can’t afford it” when talking about something small but very important? It’s been happening my entire life. We can’t afford it? They’re putting seven times the annual budget of the EPA into immigrant detention.

More #Epstein, if you can stomach it.

We have interviews! #EpsteinFiles www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOSI...

I’m just curious why #Epstein is not always trending… And why not today?

I can’t believe it took me this long to realize the real focus of those flying the Gasden flag was the ME part, not the DON’T TREAD ON part. They’re fine with us being tread upon, even unto death.

The Libertarian Party just advocated abolishing ICE. I will never vote Libertarian. But this is why I care, even as a leftist: GOP voters will need an off-ramp when they start to realize they’re the new Nazi party. I don’t JUST want a vote split. I want the GOP to wither under its own rot.

What are members of the Professoriate — particularly those in the social sciences — planning to talk with students about tomorrow? Just sticking with lectures straight from the syllabus, or in any way trying to address the world we’re living in at the moment?

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

I don’t understand how the first reaction from leadership isn’t “This is an impeachable offense. My colleagues must defund Hegseth and begin drafting articles immediately.” Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?

Happy Holidays from south Florida, a place that would not receive a cent of our tourism dollars were it not for our kids and grandchildren.

Is it fair to assume that Trump’s diatribe on #RobReiner is an attempted distraction from some story we may or may not yet have heard? I mean, I know he is perfectly capable of being this disgusting for no reason, but he over goes this far over the top for reasons, too.
