This time a week ago we had no idea the Eagles were about to blowout the Chiefs. So young. So naive.

“Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service is seeking access to a heavily-guarded Internal Revenue Service system that includes detailed financial information about every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country, according to two people familiar with the activities, sparking alarm within the tax agency.”

Zelenskyy: "I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine. Never."

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

We have reached North Korean levels of sycophantry. From NY-24’s Claudia Tenney 👇 tenney.house.gov/media/press-...

?? It’s no mystery where the money goes; this has been asked and answered. 70-75% of US spending is on Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, Pentagon and veterans + interest on the debt. Foreign aid is 1% of the budget. You can read this in a CBO or OMB report! Easily available.

This. Especially Senate Republicans.

I'll set aside that he thinks chicken farms are going to build high tech security perimeters against geese. If he's talking about bio-sec and anti-virals, maybe not an ideal time to be firing everyone at USDA and CDC.

Here’s a better peace plan for Ukraine. “Russia, you’ve already sustained twice as many casualties as the US did in ww2. Leave Ukraine or suffer four times more, and collapse as a country in the process” Done

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are mass firing veterans. apnews.com/live/trump-p...

It's a coup of dummies. Because we live in an idiocracy.

Money talks

Those who uphold the rule of law save their country.

They do not care. It's strictly a power and money grab for and by the top 1%.

Musk and his MAGA bros "Making America Great Again". #PutinsPuppets

Which photo most accurately depicts the real Donald Trump? Left side: Weave and makeup Right side: Au naturale Should be able to add an actual poll to this.....

Bezos has really upped the ante for billionaires debasing themselves to gain favor with Trump.👇 Cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit the Washington Post because it refused to print a cartoon mocking tech and media billionaires for sucking up to Trump. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Friday night Tequila Tweet: Fuck people who push conspiracies and disinformation. And fuck people who knowingly lied about, and are still lying about, what happened in New Orleans & Las Vegas this past week. And fuck people who lie and spread fear of the other.

Here is my response to Donald Trump’s latest malicious lies:

"Trump is a con artist and ordinary people are going to get hurt. That’s the all-encompassing story of the next four years. To the political journalists out there, I say get on it or get lost." —@froomkin.bsky.social‬ Worth reading. presswatchers.org/2024/12/trum...

Donald Trump will be president for another term. But he will forever be a convicted felon and an adjudicated sex abuser.

70% of the world’s population has universal healthcare, but not the US We are the only highly developed nation without it Our healthcare is twice as expensive as the average wealthy nation US ranks last among industrial nations for deaths that could be prevented with timely access to healthcare

President Biden just awarded Liz Cheney the Presidential Citizens Medal “for putting the American people over party.”🇺🇸🇺🇸

Hey @4for4-john.bsky.social Bucky Irving tells Glazer he feels much better. Does this effect start decision? How much? #NFL #FantasyFootball

Hey @4for4-john.bsky.social I am starting Dowdle and Monty at RB. Jefferson and Kupp (Thanks for the 0) at WR. Who would you rather flex, BT Jr or Bucky Irving? Obviously Bucky if healthy but he only made it 10 snaps last week. But I also have to make up for Kupp's goose egg. HPPR. Also, DeVonta?

Never underestimate the stupidity and/or mendacity of Trump.

Did Chuck Grassley have a stroke or does he always post like a tween?

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

didn’t see quite the same level of outrage about these pardons

There is no point in trolling if no one sees it. User control over our feeds is great. Including the ability to fully hide from everyone, unwanted replies, and block those people. If i hide a reply from a troll from everyone, no one sees it. Moderation is great Really helps engagement

QUESTION: Hannity says Joe Biden lied when he said he would never pardon Hunter. But Hannity is divorced. So when he vowed to stay with his wife until death did them part, was he lying, or did circumstances change?

Want my wedding ring? Come and try to take it.

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

The AP can get bent.

I hope everyone is paying close attention to how the Hunter Biden pardon is being covered. If you wondered why Trump and his cronies can betray America and commit ceaseless crimes for years without consequences but Democrats can't right obviously partisan wrongs, the current media reaction is why.

Thou shalt not accuse others of being criminals when you just made a criminal the commander in chief. Thou shalt stop being a gigantic hypocrite every second of thy life.

I'm curious. During the campaign, fact-checkers routinely dinged the Harris campaign for calling Project 2025 Trump's playbook, saying "Trump has denied this." Have any of them admitted how badly they got rolled in the most obvious of ways?
