This is true. @bsky.app is the app of the people. We may not all agree. We may not even all like each other. But we can engage and disagree and agree with our hate That makes the platform the future of social media

Dark Pence is back.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Pete Hegseth, President Trump's nominee to lead the Pentagon, paid $50,000 to a woman alleging sexual assault, according to documents obtained by CNN. cnn.it/4hjp6VI

HELL YEAH! Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias announces he Will NOT COMPLY to Donald Trump’s demands for the DMV to turn over data about undocumented immigrants without due process. It gets even better.

americans please take note of your duties as laid out in the declaration of independence.

This is being circulated in all federal agencies. chcoc.gov/sites/defaul...

WOW. Senator Reed isn't holding back: Variety of sources, including your own writings, implicate you with disregarding the laws of war, financial mismanagement, racist and sexist remarks ...alcohol abuse, sexual assault, sexual harassment and other troubling issues…

Sen. Tammy Duckworth to Pete Hegseth: "You say you care about keeping our Armed Forces strong and that you like that our Armed Forces' meritocracy. Then let's not lower the standards for you. You sir, are a no-go at this station."

a big showdown likely coming up this spring: Elon Musk vs. Larry Krasner from: boltsmag.org/2025-crimina...

Thank you SEC! Give them hell...

President Nixon’s 2nd Inauguration, the flags flown half staff to honor President Truman. Something's not tracking...

Today, MAGA is losing it over this video of Pete Hegseth SLAMMING Trump. “All bluster, very low substance… he’s an armchair tough guy. He said that John McCain is not a war hero yet he sought his own five military deferments.” RT to ruin Trump’s day!

The Hegseth hearing is doing one thing incredibly well: it’s establishing that when his leadership at DoD fails, it’ll be clear that GOP Senators knew, excused it, and they own it. Serious concerns about experience & judgment are literally being laughed off.

Because of our investments since 2019, California is home to the largest aerial firefighting fleet in the world. Combined with assets from the state's partners, our brave pilots are taking the fight to the fires across Southern California.

Jen Rubin leaves The Washington Post to join Norm Eisen in starting a new media publication and venture called "The Contrarian."

Here’s a version that I found printed in Germany around a decade ago, ahead of its time. . .

We need positive forms of political opposition in the United States. The People's Cabinet would offer new ideas, new voices, and new forms of action. snyder.substack.com/p/an-alterna...

This from the Washington post Editorial board is correct

He’s guilty of 34 counts of business fraud He stole classified documents and led a conspiracy to obstruct the retrieval of them He pressured elections officials in Georgia to overturn their election results He tried to overthrow an American election And he won't face consequences for ANY of that

The GOP's latest attempt to suppress votes: the SAVE Act. This bill would require citizens to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote, disproportionately affecting the elderly and women who've changed their names. #StopTheSAVEAct

A serious constitutional crisis is taking place in North Carolina where Republicans are trying to steal a state Supreme Court election by disenfranchising 60,000 voters AFTER the count and recount have showed the Democrat won. Please watch and share. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5yW...

President-elect Trump’s defense lawyers accused Jack Smith, the special counsel, of unethical and improper behavior in his prosecutions of their client. They could be in senior Justice Department roles within weeks.

House Republicans from the newly-elected Congress listed a bill to require anyone registering to vote in federal elections to provide proof of citizenship as a top legislative priority. If passed, the bill could disenfranchise millions of voters.

Seniority in Congress is about longevity which correlates to age and Congress unusually old with an unusually large number of particularly old members. But, then, so is America — and that pattern will persist. Gift link: wapo.st/3DPeob1

"the model of journalism we have used for more than 100 years has been tested in this era of bald-faced political fabrication, dissembling and existential environmental threat. It has been found utterly wanting " meanjin.com.au/essays/the-t...

We are facing a moment when much will change for the worse, not just in policy, but in the structure of politics itself. We need to be imagining a better America. A Shadow Cabinet would be a positive form of opposition. snyder.substack.com/p/shadow-cab...

To help counter the crazy that will be coming from the trump admin, Dems as part of being the opposition form a shadow cabinet that would be loyal to our constitution. It would remind us how much better things could be by generating new ideas/visions, and give us hope for a better future. #DemCast

NEW: Given Musk’s role advising President-elect Donald Trump on ways to slash regulations and government oversight, Boring and the Vegas Loop project might be a harbinger for the country. w/ City Cast Last Vegas

Under the governance of Democrats inflation dropped year to year for all of Joe Biden's presidency. The Mass Deportations and Tariffs Trump is promising to implement will raise cost of living and increase inflation. We must hold him accountable for hurting our economy, workers and growth.

Five alarm fire in North Carolina, where right-wing GOP majority on State Supreme Court just blocked certification of Democratic Justice Allison Riggs’ victory & appears to be laying groundwork to overturn the election www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If the 11th circuit overturns Cannon on the Jack Smith report, and Trump files for an emergency administrative stay with SCOTUS, guess which justice can issue the administrative stay unilaterally?
