Be light, be love, be hope, be kind!

It’s uncanny. #PedoPresident

Marjorie Taylor Greene: After President Trump called me a traitor, I got a pipe bomb threat on my house, and then I got several direct death threats on my son. Lesley Stahl: You blame him. Greene: Those are death threats directly fueled by President Trump.

The Bulwark: Trump is considering replacing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem with Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin thebulwark.com/p/trump-dhs-ho…

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Marjorie Taylor Greene just exposed how Republicans make fun of Donald Trump behind his back. This is incredible.

So Bondi and Kash make a big deal out of arresting the J6 pipe bomber then the guy confesses that he is a Trump supporter who thought the 2020 election was stolen and his lawyer is arguing that Trump’s broadly-worded J6 blanket pardon applies to him and he should go free. Poetry.

WYOMING: “9-1-1? These guys are in front of my house and they can’t speak English. I think we need to call ICE.” A racist old white man calls the police on An Amazon delivery driver for not speaking English. This is what Trump & Stephen Miller have unleashed and emboldened.

Nearly every precinct swung left in last week’s TN-07 special election. The biggest shift was in SoBro/Pie Town in Nashville, moving 42 pts left from Trump +1 to Behn +41. One rural Hickman Co. precinct bucked the trend, shifting 7 pts right from Trump +70 to Van Epps +77.

MURFREESBORO: “MTSU students are mourning the death of professor Ashleigh McKinzie… found shot multiple times 50 miles from campus, a loaded gun next to her… when officers arrived a man was at the scene in possession of a gun— he is not facing charges…” wsmv.com/2025/12/05/mts…

A suburban Boston parish is under fire from Fox News and MAGA commentators after unveiling an Advent Nativity scene without Jesus — and with a stark message: “ICE was here.” The priest says he’s answering Pope Leo XIV’s call. thelettersfromleo.com/p/ice-was-here…

On Tuesday, Republican Matt Van Epps won the TN-07 special election by just under 9 points, a double-digit underperformance of President Trump's performance last year. Here's a map emphasizing the role developed precincts played in fuelling Democrat Aftyn Behn's overperformance:

BREAKING: Donald Trump may be receiving the Alzheimer’s drug Leqembi. It is administered via IV in the hand, causes swelling in the brain requiring regular MRIs, and one of the main side effects is tiredness. Is the President taking secret Alzheimer’s drugs?

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: In a HUGE embarassing defeat for Donald Trump, a New York Grand Jury has DECLINED to indict NY Attorney General Letitia James. Justice wins. Trump loses.

The right-wing Supreme Court majority has once again shredded its credibility by rubber-stamping a racially gerrymandered map in Texas. Republicans know the extremists can only win by cheating. The people of California and beyond will prevent that from happening.

Could we have viable independent candidates in both South Dakota and Nebraska? Hmmmm.

To be clear, it was a **Trump appointed judge** that initially found the new Texas map to be racially biased. Thats how compromised this Supreme Court is.

If you run out the clock on your redistricting map, then 'it's fine' is an extremely dangerous precedent we are setting.

I love @SteveKornacki, but he’s wrong here, because he misunderstands the nature of evangelical Christianity in the South. Thus, his analysis mistattributes the political character of Williamson County — which is arguably the birthplace of modern southern evangelicalism. It did not meaningfully “step away” from Trump in 2016 or 2020 — certainly not in the way we saw in the Atlanta or Raleigh suburbs. The comparison simply doesn’t hold. To see why, you have to understand the two very different strands of American evangelicalism, a distinction most political commentary misses. One strand comes out of historic mainline Protestantism. These are families who were once Baptist, Methodist, or Presbyterian and shifted into evangelical churches over time. They often have Democratic lineage in their background — think Jimmy Carter — and they remain more culturally flexible and occasionally swing-curious. But Williamson County’s evangelicals are overwhelmingly the second strand: they were never mainline Protestants to begin with. Their churches didn’t evolve out of old denominational life; many were founded in gyms, storefronts, or living rooms. They are products of the Falwell-era Religious Right and have been politically conservative from day one. Even when Middle Tennessee was blue, Williamson County was not. There is no generational Democratic muscle memory in this population — no latent blue affinity waiting to be reactivated. That’s why the expectation that Aftyn Behn could move the needle in Williamson as much as other communities was always misplaced. Voters there are not suburban moderates in the mold of northern Atlanta, northern Virginia, or the Research Triangle. They are structurally Republican, culturally conservative, and historically aligned with the GOP. No one working on the ground expected a dramatic shift.

@LDonivan @yarbro Sadly i wasnt joking. Tennessee is a MAGA haven and a sanctuary for the worst of the far right.

@RutherfordNew @yarbro Lol don't forget LAPD. There's a shitload of them around my area. Sorry, I read through that too fast to realize you were joking.

Let’s be clear. The 7th Congressional District was designed to be uncompetitive. Trump won it by 22% one year ago. They carved Nashville into 3 districts to tilt the scales. The plummeting support for the President today shows no Republican is safe in 2026.

@liljoe732 @OrianaBeLike This was just her launch party. She will run again 2026.

NEW: Dems feel confident about their chances in red areas In TN-5, Dem Chaz Molder outraised Andy Ogles in Q3 $790K vs $61K — and some Republicans are concerned Ogles isn't taking his race seriously "He’s raising like no money," one GOP strategist said notus.org/2026-election/…
