Trump can call me names but the truth remains. He is an unhinged wanna be dictator who is angry that I beat him in court and won't cower in fear. Now he is weaponizing the federal government against his political opponents. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

So RFK Jr is saying that the measles vaccine wanes at a rate of about 4.5% per year. That is absolutely false. In almost all cases, it provides life-long immunity against measles. He says the effects of the vaccine are as bad as catching measles. Again - absolutely false. He should be fired..!

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.

No leader should by his decision create so much disunity and anger in his own party. That alone is political malpractice.

AOC slammed Mike Johnson, saying: “You run the government. If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats. Those are your two options. Blaming someone else because your shoes are untied isn’t one.”

CHUCK SCHUMER HAS TO GO. He’s way past his best by date and I’m not talking about age, I’m talking about usefulness. Senate Dems need to step up and have some courage.

So I’m assuming the name of Gavin Newsom’s podcast is “I Don’t Want To Be President”

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

This is how you get under Donald Trump's skin......

Thank you, Judge Alsup💙💙💙💙

the guy who got eddie gallagher pardoned appointing eddie gallagher's lawyer to reform the JAGs is a nightmare scenario. gallagher is not a soldier who committed a war crime. he is a serial killer who happened to be a soldier.

Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."

Republican Administration...

Judge Alsup just now, on Ezell's evasion: "The government has tried to frustrate the judge’s ability to get at the truth of what happened here. It set forth a sham declaration, then withdrew it, then substituted another. That’s not the way it works in the U.S. District Court."

We live in the dumbest of times.

One more thing. It’s a classic trap to think that sacking administrators means more focus on ‘front line care’. Very often it means the opposite. It means doctors have to do the admin, which they’re not very good at.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law: “It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

Brave soul.😢

Josh is the former chair of the Tennessee Libertarian Party 👇🏽 They’re not cutting “waste fraud and abuse”. That’s the cover story. It’s a con.

If Linda McMahon and the Department of Education believe in "efficiency and accountability" (after laying off half of the department), then I'm sure they'll gladly publish a list of every position that has been eliminated and why that position is no longer needed.

This right here is top number one reason why there shouldn’t be billionaires. They buy everything and anyone. Musk is a parasite. He is THE parasite.

One democrat voted for this piece of shit. Would have been nice to have been a united front. Thanks, Jared Golden. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

NEW: Perkins Coie, the law firm targeted by Trump in an Executive Order, has now sued the Trump Administration in federal court alleging the EO is unconstitutional on several grounds, including violations of the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Journalists who frame what's happening in Washington as Republicans vs. Democrats instead of fascism vs. democracy are missing the most important story of their lives.

It’s amazing to find out at this late date how much the rule of law depended on people simply deciding, on a voluntary, daily basis, not to break the law.

A Message to MAGA...

I understand TwiXter, whose owner fired 80% of the company’s quality engineers in a fairly arbitrary way, has been dealing with pretty significant tech problems today. Let’s hope the moron who made those cuts isn’t directing random firings that could really hurt people… www.cnbc.com/2023/01/20/t...

The South African is now calling our military heroes traitors. I know whose side I’m on.

It’s not just cruelty it’s also incompetence
