Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Some men would rather end human history’s longest running experiment in self-government than go to therapy

Kristi Noem has dispatched a team of ICE agents to the "Puppy Bowl." They've been instructed "to get" any puppy who resembles Cricket.

This is insane. Musk, the world's richest man, owner of the most influential political messaging platform, and a de facto government member and top ally to the president, is accusing a journalist of being a criminal, because she reported on one of his racist DOGE staffers. This is fascist behavior.

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

Oligarchy doesn’t even begin to describe what this is

okay but even in dystopian novels i'm pretty sure they have universal healthcare

More than 8,000 web pages across more than a dozen U.S. government websites have been taken down since Friday afternoon, a New York Times analysis found. The purges have removed information about vaccines, veterans’ care, hate crimes, scientific research and more.

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

This photo hits hard.

CNN's Jim Acosta signing off: "I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too." I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too. Pass it on.

Tip from @snowjob.bsky.social If you have a whitehouse.gov link you want to access and it is down, try replacing "www.whitehouse.gov" with "bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov" The national archives is still doing its job for now.

REP. MCGOVERN: “I don’t ever want to hear about law and order from your side again.”

Imagine watching that sermon and thinking it was "nasty." We elected a man who thinks mercy has no place in a house of worship. God help us.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

Owners’ box

Donald Trump plans to pardon the terrorists who violently attacked our Capitol. Joe Biden pardoned the police officers they attacked and the lawmakers who investigated the attack. Any questions.

I used to love reading dystopian fiction in high school. Reaaaaally not enjoying living through dystopian reality as an adult.

NEW: My staff just got ahold of this memo from House Budget Committee Republicans. It's lengthy and hard to digest but it tells us exactly how Republicans plan to sell out the American people for another round of tax cuts to the rich. We're breaking down the highlights as we go:

GOP members complaining about reduction of military standards while using a chart that misspells the word military!

Today brings another reminder that the guy who owns the other place is really no better than the guy who owns the other, other place.

Spot on.

Give her what she really wants this holiday season. Death to the patriarchy, bodily autonomy, and real pockets in every dress and pair of pants.

Did I just learn about football overtime from Cheez-its?
