Cheney to Vance: “You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you’re losing. That’s tyranny.”

While Musk runs the country, Trump had a productive weekend naming himself Chair of the Kennedy Center, picking the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, canceling pennies, demanding Google Maps rename Gulf of Mexico, invited only White immigrants from Africa, and saved plastic straws.

Why is Trump the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl? Because all the presidents before him realized it would be extraordinarily wasteful to spend 15-20 MILLION of our taxpayer dollars to go in person.

Gov. jobs were among the 1st sources of econ. opportunity/security open to Black workers, dating back to the Reconstruction. Today, nearly 1/5 Black workers are in the public sector. What happens when DJT slashes the fed. workforce? @errinhaines.bsky.social @imaniperry.bsky.social on @ 11 #Velshi

Giving state and local officials more control over disaster aid in the form of “block grants” sounds nice until you remember this administration is all about racism and the spoils system www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Nearly $7 million has been “apportioned” over the past week to cover DOGE-related expenses.

A group of anonymous authors has published this well-sourced memorandum on Musk and the Neoreactionary movement. Please share widely. The threat is not well understood. Take a moment to read the one page executive summary now; then call Congress. america2.news/content/file...

Everything happening now is a result of the long standing beef between the KGB and CIA. Musk, Gabbard, Patel, RFK; USAID, NED, VoA, RFE/RL, CIA, FBI, debt default — this is Putin settling scores. You have been warned. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/r...

Board member of META asks a very good question.

Credible.

"Continued access to any payment systems by DOGE members, even ‘read only,’ likely poses the single greatest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.” From a Treasury threat intelligence dept email www.wired.com/story/treasu...

“This abrupt change..will have devastating consequences on medical science. Many people will lose jobs, clinical trials will halt, and this will slow down progress toward cures for cancer and effective prevention of illness” “A sane government would never do this” apple.news/AuphtalGfSpy...

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Sign of the day…

Welcome to the new American oligarchy: Trump’s rise was decades in the making. Billionaires and mega-corporations are driving policy at the expense of democracy – an “absolute seizure,” as @hartmannreport.com puts it. #Velshi www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...

Trump just undid the only good thing GWB did in his entire 8 years.

Peter Klamus was on DemocracyNow. He pointed out what the NYTimes didnt let him put it in his essay. Today on CNN the anchor tried to minimize fossil industry role in climate change but Klamus stood his ground. Worth seeing if/when CNN post it on their website. www.democracynow.org/2025/1/10/pe...

They're such whiny victims, even when they have all the power they still complain about being supposedly victimized, so now they're trying to rig the rules of broadcast TV to protect themselves, and promote themselves, further. Brian Lowry for Zeteo:

He watched democracy die in his home country of Hungary. Here is his advice to Americans getting ready for a second Trump term.
