Let Denmark cook.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Now that TikTok has officially gone dark, I’m re-upping my post from a few days ago to remind folks that this praise for Trump is wrong.

Protest crowds are the biggest crowds that traitorous fuck will ever get.

Watching so many people having spent money to go to the inauguration, and then Trump canceling it because he’s worried about the pictures and small crowds, is a perfect picture of his whole relationship with his supporters. They give and give, he takes and takes.

It’s 25 degrees in Kansas City where the Chiefs and Texans are playing for a full stadium. Guess it’s only dangerous when it’s an inauguration.

THIS! 100% this…

My heart is broken. Mostly I've been angry lately, but today I'm just very very sad. We are losing everything that makes America great and replacing it with hate and stupidity. The America I know and love will never be the same. I'm so very very sad. This is a tragic loss.

I don’t know who did this, but thank you 🤣

"That's the magic of America." "Only in America do we believe anything is possible. Like a kid with a stutter from modest beginnings ... sitting behind this desk in the Oval Office as president of the United States."

Pass it on. Text your friends, family, and neighbors.

Man. If I answered that many interview questions with “I’m not familiar with that,” I would not get the job.

Let's Gooo! techcrunch.com/2025/01/15/b...

fixed it

Sen. Hirono questioning Hegseth about his history of sexual assault allegations, including that he paid off a woman who accused him of rape and that he had her sign an NDA… She then asks him about being drunk at work, including allegations made by his Fox co-workers.

My latest for Salon as part of their regular pundit roundup. In part,"The minute Trump was able to announce he was running for president it was clear it was to avoid prison. And Merrick Garland knew it. And enabled it." www.salon.com/2025/01/14/t...

Hegseth is trying to be a smooth-talker today during his confirmation hearing… But he’s sexist, against diversity in our armed forces, and is unqualified to serve as Secretary of Defense. That’s the substance over style that the Senate must focus on.

Using Jesus as a prop in hearings is new

I just want to thank the democratic senators on the armed services committee who stood up and fought, despite the odds, for the American people today.

According to Republicans, honoring Jimmy Carter, who never incited a deadly attack on our Capitol, is less important than honoring Donald Trump, who very much did.

Surrender Greenland, or I will send Eric the Stupid and Junior the Con back.

The man in charge of social media platforms used by billions should show some moral courage, writes @jemima.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/682c...

Grateful for the bravery of these volunteers. Minnesota stands with our neighbors in California now and in the long recovery ahead. www.mprnews.org/episode/2025...

Sadly, we all know the answers to these questions 🫤🇺🇸

In a decent nation, Donald Trump would be in prison right now.

#EmbarrassmentInChief 🤮

What if I told you that wealthy people's and celebrities' lives, homes, pets, and families are equally as valid and worth protecting as anyone else's? What happened to simple compassion for other human beings?

Another masterful water drop from Canadian aerial firefighters in California. Thank you, Canada!

ALSO HITTING THE DOCKET: The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has DENIED Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira’s emergency injunction request. However, based on Judge Cannon’s order, the DOJ cannot release Special Counsel Jack Smith’s final report for 3 more days.

Thank you President Carter for your incredible leadership, legacy and life of service.

Over 15,000 doctors have signed a letter imploring the US Senate to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation for Secretary of HHS. The letter states: “RFK Jr. is not only unqualified to lead this essential agency — he is actively dangerous.” 1/ www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Mike Luckovich gets it right as he always does

In a sign of respect, every President, Vice President and First Lady put their hands over their hearts as President Carter’s casket moved past — except for one. You can guess who. Such disrespect! 🤬

Let’s get one thing straight: the cost of the Green New Deal is far less than the cost of losing our planet to the climate crisis.

Great letter in today's Guardian. What sort of free speech is prevented by factchecking, Zuck?

this choice of photos by the Carter Center is shadier than a Georgia peach tree in summer

Jessica: The fire chief has been called a DEI hire. I would take her resume any day, 24 year vet, paramedic, engineer, fire inspector, captain, battalion chief, fire marshal, deputy chief.

Wisdom from his many years.

DOJ has accepted the 11th Circuit’s invitation to go back to the district court & appeal Judge Cannon’s order preventing them from releasing the Special Counsel’s report. Game on.

Now would be a good time for Merchan to pull an “LOL just kidding, go to jail”

Wise words.

As of 12:02 am, DOJ has advised the 11th Cir of its appeal of Judge Cannon's order in the So. District of Florida & restated its intention of releasing the J6 volume of the report & sharing the classified documents volume with Congressional leaders.

Crockett: It was my ancestors that built the White House. If we have been good enough to build this country, we are good enough to serve in other ways. Stop trying to act as if only white men are the ones that are capable because you’re sitting with 3 very capable black women
