Let's be clear: This is Christopher Landau, a longtime part of the conservative movement and former Thomas clerk, not some random Trumper who found his way into a job.

I’m honestly surprised he did this. Only because he’s generally able to muddy the waters a bit, but this absolutely, positively erases even the scintilla of doubt that Donald Trump was and remains a racist POS.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Raskin: Our chairman… How does one go from a libertarian railing about the deep state and the fbi and the doj coming down on the rights of the people to becoming a supine submissive authoritarian who votes against providing basic due process rights for the people against the government?

Booker: I miss Obama… I miss Obama.. I miss her husband too.

TRUMP DITCHES FALLEN SOLDIERS' DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR GOLF DINNER Trump won't attend the dignified transfer of 4 U.S. soldiers at Dover AFB who died in Lithuania. He'll be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead. The soldiers were honored by Lithuania's president.

They can't spell "April"? "The termination emails were riddled with mistakes — with employees’ names, the month of April and even the institute’s title misspelled in places — a telling sign of the rushed and haphazard nature of the operation..." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Goldberg: "Hegseth is promising that US warplanes are taking off in 30 minutes to bomb enemy targets that we know are protected by anti-aircraft batteries. If that's not the most sensitive information, the most secret info in the world, I simply don't know what the meaning of 'classified' is."

NEW: Russian President Vladimir Putin did not accept the US-Ukrainian proposal for a temporary ceasefire along the frontline and reiterated his demands for a resolution to the war that amount to Ukrainian capitulation. (1/3) Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, Mar 18, 2025: isw.pub/UkrWar031825

We accelerate into a lawless abyss.

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

Way to go, all you Leftist performance artists. You sure showed Kamala Harris!

Despicable arrogance.

Trump and his henchmen did not make "a deal" with President Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukraine over rare earth minerals. They engaged in extortion, part of their protection racket-style strategy to shake down an ally in the midst of a deadly conflict.

Himes: "It just looks like an episode of The Sopranos. 'Give us your minerals or we're not gonna help you fight a bloody butcher.' I mean, is this really we want the greatest country in history to be known for -- some mafia thing? ... this president is standing with the bad guy"

WTF?? His soullessness knows no bottom. Wasting $200M of tax payers money to stroke his ego with ads?? How is this helpful?

“It's fucking racist,” one active-duty Army general told @stevenbeynon.bsky.social on the condition of anonymity to avoid retaliation. “For the Army now, it's 'Blacks need not apply,’ and it breaks my heart."

@raskin.house.gov: "Mexico said they were gonna put 10k troops on the border-- they already had 15k troops on the border! ... He just likes a lot of razzle dazzle and noise, but the leaders of the world are laughing at him. And we can recognize what a fraudulent pretense this whole thing was."

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

The video is too long for me to post here. But this is a link to Caroline Kennedy reading her letter to senators about her cousin Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. In a nutshell, she depicts him as an unqualified, deranged, drug-addled, corrupt, and lying sociopath. x.com/jbkschlossbe...

This is just one of the approximately 1,500 people convicted in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack who were pardoned by Trump. 😡😡

President Donald Trump signed an executive order revoking the security clearance of 51 former intelligence officials who signed a 2020 letter arguing that emails from a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden carried “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

This is the cowardice of The New York Times. Legacy media is failing.

The Department of Defense has already determined that Hegseth is unfit to serve. This should be the final word. bsky.app/profile/did:...

INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP!!! www.nytimes.com/2025/01/14/u...

Striking juxtaposition in Jack Smith's final report: While riot raged, the TV where Trump was sitting showed rioter saying Pence was Trump's last hope to overthrow the election. *Then* Trump issued his tweet directing the mob to target Pence. When informed Pence's life was in danger, he shrugged.

He orchestrated a coup. It failed. He was a convicted felon. He rose to power on a wave of divisive propaganda and hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric. He promised to make things great again. He threatened to annex his neighbors. I'm referring, of course, to Adolf Hitler.

ABC News, citing interviews with three of her former staffers, reported that Gabbard regularly read and shared articles from RT (formerly Russia Today), a state-run media outlet, even after being advised that RT wasn’t a credible source.

JUST IN: The U.S. added 256,000 jobs in December, surpassing expectations and bringing the total for 2024 to 2.2 million. The unemployment rate dipped to 4.1%, and wages grew 3.9% over the past year, far outpacing inflation.

“Although I inherited the worst economic crisis in decades with unemployment above 6% when I took office, we’ve had the lowest average unemployment rate of any administration in 50 years with unemployment at 4.1% as I leave,” - President Biden News flash: Trump had nothing to do with any of this

Don’t think we forgot.

Would you look at that. The same day this lawsuit was filed, Republican Senators sent a letter to the NIH demanding a investigation into the funding of Dr. Olson Kennedy's puberty blocker study. Surely, just a coincidence.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

Maddow: That is the behavior on January 6th that Trump is praising and promising to use the pardon power for. So, yeah, tell me all about the scandal of the use of the pardon power.

Happy thanksgiving!
