I agree with your take on Newsom and I think the Rockwell family and Jack White are right to speak out. We need more to do this. Mainstream media has failed us badly and continue to do so. I cannot seem to figure out a way to change it. They have not changed even after they have been called out time and time again.
(“Orange turdsicle”: love it! Dworkin readers come up with the most fabulous vocabulary!! I hope it’s okay if I use this epithet once in a while, FAITH? 👏👏)
The Dumpster Fire wants his name on the Kennedy Center- then he steals someone’s art (Rockwell) and alters it- to make another show of self aggrandizement! so how is it that he loves the arts?
I believe they have that MDS because they know in their shriveled pea-size hearts that what Mamdani will do in New York City will catch on in other cities as well. Bernie was right. Mamdani's campaign was not radical at all. The richest country in the world should absolutely have affordable housing, medicare for all and salaries for workers that enables them to feed and house their families comfortably. That isn't radical - that is the future for America.
Mamdani’s own party wouldn’t endorse him after he won the primary and sided with Trump, supporting disgraced ex-gov Cuomo
Self-proclaimed “moderate” (aka financially compromised) Dems need to step away or if they want to remain in office, lose some of their lobbyist donors
We’re not in a place where we can afford deadweight
When there is bold, youthful visionary leadership in the picture, we can’t afford not to
You know what else I loved about his inauguration? When it was over, he served coffee and hot chocolate to the staff/crew who were cleaning up after the event. Leading by example, with respect and authenticity.
Rarely do we see bits of caring for the worker bees who clean up our messes. They truly are the backbone of this country who hardly ever get lifted up.
Let’s make 2026 the year of being better at recognizing and thanking the folks who do the menial tasks that get taken for granted (which I try to remember to).
It’s the least we can all do. Gratefulness is just akin to kindness.
Very well said, EaB! And I agree with you. A pet peeve of mine is when people do not look service people in the eyes and acknowledge them. I always do and it simultaneously makes me happy that they feel acknowledged and also sad that something that should be a given is often all too rare.
Well said in return Julie. Such a tiny effort it takes to be civil. I always think that may be the only verification or kindness they may receive in a normal day.
Happy New Year. Let’s make this the year we finally remove tRump’s henchmen in Congress out of office and bring down this democracy-destroying administration.
Respect for Jack White. Awesome comeback. No surprise that the Rockwell family protected Norman Rockwell’s reputation by publicly announcing he was Antifa. No artist portrayed the American ideals as well as he did. He would never agree to letting Trumps fascist Government use his art in any way
He and his sister were just inducted into the Rock ‘n Roll hall of fame!
Jack’s more than just a ‘pretty face’. He’s a truly wise and patriotic American!
P.S. the Rock ‘n Roll H of Fame show with the inductees was excellent with a lot of incredible music performances and civic messages by so many great musicians
I am so glad to hear that the Rockwell Family spoke out against the abuse of the legacy of Norman Rockwell! This maga group has no morals at all, if they did, they could never get behind such a vile human being! And oh yah - how come NONE of these supposed Christians wonder why trump refused to put his hand on the bible when he was sworn in .. eh??????
Gov. Newsom is like a dog with a bone! He never gives up. Bravo to him.
Rockwell's family is 100% correct! They should sue the s*$$ out of this "administration" (T's regime).
I don't know if there's hope for corporate media! They sure seem bought & sold. It is really terrible that t's deteriorating health is not covered in full. A disgrace to the country, & even to the Mad King himself. He's very sick & should be in a facility for the criminally insane. I maintain that the family, who seems to have disappeared, should conduct an intervention for madman Daddy for commitment. Probably will never happen.
Gavin Newsom’s non stop fight drove Trump away. Corporate media should do the same thing re: Trump’s health, but their bottom line is the priority. Not much change ahead. Jack White and the Rockwell family member are examples of what it means to be class acts. And, finally, Mr. Mamdani’s Jan. 1, 2026 speech is one I’m keeping to read frequently. It’s stunning. I’m especially excited for New Yorkers.
Corporate media will become interested in trump's grey matter when it becomes profitable for them to do so, but by then said grey matter will be reduced to puddles of drool.
So Sayeth the Commander-in-Chief of Our Armed Forces
CBS News reported this morning that Trump is threatening to go to war with Iran if Iran "violently kills peaceful protesters" who are protesting the economic conditions in Iran."The United States will come to their rescue...We are locked and loaded and ready to go" said Trump on January 1.
While a normal person might believe that this is all bluster, given Trump's unstable and volatile mental condition and his motive to distract the American people from the wave of his ongoing slaughters on the high seas, further massive Epstein disclosures and his plummeting approval ratings in the polls, the prospects of attacking Iran from the air and on the ground appear to loom large on the horizon.
Given that we have a rogue President and a spineless groveling Republican majority in Congress, we cannot dismiss this threat as merely the hallucinations of a raving madman.
I have already been making some phone calls about that this morning, L. D. Michaels! I couldn't help but wonder why he ranted about Iran killing peaceful protesters when he has wanted to do the same thing to peaceful protesters here in our country? I can't understand that. We must do all we can to let our representatives in Congress know that we are not in agreement with his attempt to take us into a war.
This is the upside down world we are in….😡 threatening to go to war if Iran “violently kills peaceful protesters” while my Florida sheriff threatens to shoot (peaceful) protesters “graveyard dead”.
Yes, the American people need to speak up.Be like Jack White !!
All he does is kill fishermen and threaten war on other countries, and he still thinks he should get the Nobel Peace Prize. He is delusional and his mental capacity is declining daily.
As for his health, taking too much aspirin is dangerous and could cause internal bleeding. My stepmother sneezed and it tore her stomach lining because she took too many n-saids. If she hadn’t called 911 she would have been dead in a half hour. Fortunately she got to the hospital and had surgery and blood transfusions and survived.
Newsom deserves credit for standing up to the lawless political theater of deploying troops to blue states but let’s not forget Gov Pritzker has turned up the pressure too. I think there are over a hundred lawsuits against trumpy admin. Let’s hope the CORRUPTED SCOTUS doesn’t step in.
MSN is infected with MAGA (fear) and they don’t want to make waves. Just look at #MagaBariWeiss corrupting @cbsnews She is just an example of taking the knee so I imagine that we will not get a lot of news about HIS health from anyone other than independent journalists, like you Scott.
Jack White, the Rockwell Family AND all the performers canceling their shows at THE KENNEDY CENTER are helping all Americans see the grift, the cruelty and idiocy in trumpy world.
One more thing…JD just stay home where your “nonwhite” children probably still like you because the day will come that they will want to know why you’re a racist “ahole”
My sister went to Mamdani’s inauguration and said the 20° weather did nothing to dull the enthusiasm and joy of the event. Go, Mamdani! We’re behind you, even way out here in Colorado!
HAPPY BLUE YEAR! Let's get that blue wave going!
Our main focuses today:
NEW: Demand AG Bondi release ALL of the Epstein files now: https://tinyurl.com/yzm32ams
Demand Congress vote on ACA subsidies: https://tinyurl.com/sv7ddnm3
And these 2 other actions:
Pass bill on unmasking ICE and displaying clear ID: https://tinyurl.com/bp8cau82
Demand answers about Trump’s visibly deteriorating health: https://tinyurl.com/sk9xm38v
Happy Blue Year
Go Gov Newsom! You are the leadership we deserve.
Thank you to thE Rockwell family, and Jack White for speaking out to the Maga morons.
Mainstream media won't cover the declining orange turdsicle's health, they are too afraid of the wrath of trump.
The Rockwell family needs to sue drumpf like the musicians have for using their property for propaganda.
I agree with your take on Newsom and I think the Rockwell family and Jack White are right to speak out. We need more to do this. Mainstream media has failed us badly and continue to do so. I cannot seem to figure out a way to change it. They have not changed even after they have been called out time and time again.
(“Orange turdsicle”: love it! Dworkin readers come up with the most fabulous vocabulary!! I hope it’s okay if I use this epithet once in a while, FAITH? 👏👏)
Of course you can, feel free to my epithet any time😊
Loving "Happy Blue Year" reply, Faith!
The Dumpster Fire wants his name on the Kennedy Center- then he steals someone’s art (Rockwell) and alters it- to make another show of self aggrandizement! so how is it that he loves the arts?
This is the most fire post I've seen in quite some time.
Seems republicans have MDS or Mamdani Derangement Syndrome.
They have lots of derangement, over lots of people and certain topics.
I believe they have that MDS because they know in their shriveled pea-size hearts that what Mamdani will do in New York City will catch on in other cities as well. Bernie was right. Mamdani's campaign was not radical at all. The richest country in the world should absolutely have affordable housing, medicare for all and salaries for workers that enables them to feed and house their families comfortably. That isn't radical - that is the future for America.
Mike Hammer---Thank you for this valuable and amusing insight!!!!!
Haha Mike…turn that table!
TAX THE RICH is a BANNER to ignite the wealthy who have made NYC UNAFFORDABLE!
WATCH! It's a growing movement...
What does it announce to the PUBLIC when the IRS AUDITS the GREEDY WEALTHY that they CHEAT on their taxes?
DS is enough to be accurate - all else cloud the fact of a mentality
that is stuck upside down in a ditch with its wheels spinning.
Deplorably Deranged might be more accurate, using a retread of 'deplorable,'
or a Deranged Deplorable.
Not just Republicans!
Mamdani’s own party wouldn’t endorse him after he won the primary and sided with Trump, supporting disgraced ex-gov Cuomo
Self-proclaimed “moderate” (aka financially compromised) Dems need to step away or if they want to remain in office, lose some of their lobbyist donors

I loved Mamdani’s inaugural speech yesterday. It was uplifting and spoke to the diversity that makes NYC great.
I agree Cathy!
You know what else I loved about his inauguration? When it was over, he served coffee and hot chocolate to the staff/crew who were cleaning up after the event. Leading by example, with respect and authenticity.

Thx for setting a good example Mayor Mamdani!!

That’s a great image of Gavin Newsom. I hope to see more headlines like this

Such an intervention would happen only if his family loved him.

Thank you, Peggy. I am thankful that my senators certainly do not want war. All you do is such a help!
