America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

Judge REYES on a tear, telling DOJ she won't be "gaslit" by effort to say their ban on transgender people in the military isn't actually a "ban." She notes SecDef Hegseth literally called it a ban on X. "You're saying one thing in public. You're saying a different thing in court," Reyes said.

Casar: On a roll? What I know is that when the ultra-rich and special interests were on a roll in the 1920s and started controlling the government, they crashed the economy and caused the Great Depression. We’ve got to stop that roll—we can’t let them do something like that again.

Dear Meta: Facts aren’t biased. My students get a lot of their news from your platform. You are putting them at risk. Hopefully the GOP doesn’t succeed at destroying our public education system because it is going to be more crucial than ever to counter all the disinformation & misinformation.

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder: we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now. the climate crisis is here, all around us

FACT: The United States is the only developed country in the world without universal health coverage for all of its citizens - and that's absolutely shameful, especially for the most wealthy nation on the planet. #HealthCareForAll

I was interviewed at CES this morning. We mentioned that consumers will decide whether they want to be on a platform that is “unfiltered free speech “ or “ moderated”. I mentioned that I loved @bsky.app , and spontaneously people started clapping 🔥.

President Biden, offering unequivocal support for battling the California wildfires without threatening to withhold aid, and no lecture on raking the forest. I will miss President Biden's common sense and decency. 😔

Kash Patel to run the FBI. Calling this next Trump administration a clown show is an insult to clowns. We are going to have abuse of power AND attacks on our nation. A herd of incompetent fools.

How broken is a party that their effort to distract from their own members child rape and sexual crimes is to create a viciously hateful campaign against a minority? The Republican Party has descended into true evil.

At this point, democrats have to concentrate on stopping the ones that will do the most damage. Forget the distraction nominees. Focus on the serious threats. Gaetz, Gabbard and Hegseth remain the most problematic.

The Republicans were obsessed with Obama releasing his birth certificate, and VP Harris releasing her McDonald’s pay stubs. BUT THEY don’t want to release the report investigating THEIR attorney general nominee for allegedly hooking up with a child? Interesting how that works!

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa. I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

House Republicans actually voted today to block the US Senate from receiving their report containing sworn witness testimony and documentary evidence about the nominee for Attorney General of the United States paying a child $10,000 for sex. That’s where we are at.

FFS! The sacking of Sarah Macdonald from ABC Sydney is beyond stupid. I held that same shift on "Mornings" before Sarah and, on listening, wish I was half the broadcaster she is. With Richard Glover & Robbie Buck leaving too - the station is losing its DNA. Good luck in the ratings!!
