I kept this screenshot assuming someday we might be asked to forget.

Elon Musk gave two back to back Nazi salutes at the Trump inauguration parade

Pete Hegseth said he doesn’t want women in combat and then sent his mommy to fight his battles for him

Is it good for businesses to be in "panic mode"? Asking for a 6x bankrupted...

Health insurance companies, you know the ones that you pay into, are meant to provide you coverage for care. That’s literally what you pay them for. If they take your money but deny you coverage, they’re basically stealing from you. Expose the insurance companies. All of them.

With Mitt Romney retiring, are Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski the last Republicans willing to uphold their Constitutional duty to defend democracy? If these are the last guardrails, what does that say about our future?

Good Thursday morning, BlueSky!

Hegseth explaining the violent and war-forward ethos that stands in stark contrast to frequent MAGA supporter arguments: youtu.be/s8f5F-9FTbY?...

Legacy media.

Kash Patel has been a danger to this country for years. John Bolton compared him to a Soviet secret police leader. Bill Barr said he’d let Trump appoint Kash to the # 2 spot in the FBI “over my dead body” saying the idea showed a “shocking detachment from reality.” Patel should never head the FBI.

As respect for U.S. law erodes, none of us can assume that doing right will keep us safe. This dangerous hindrance limits America, forcing its people to endure yet another wave of uncertainty and fear. Do you feel it? Do you feel it limits you?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Misinformation is a pandemic.

1/ The #Atheism United community on Facebook is the largest atheist-only community in the world. Here's a starter pack of #atheist members we know about. The only commonality we know that we share is atheism, that's it. 🧵 go.bsky.app/V2dTvfM

In Hungary, a key Orbán tactic in dismantling their democracy was that his allies bought media outlets that were critical of the regime and turned them into loyal cheerleaders for the regime.

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of “protecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

RFK Jr. attacks "red state people" in recently unearthed footage: "Red state people are more likely to murder you, to impregnate your teenage daughter, to commit a violent crime against you..."

All of this.

I wish I cared about anything as much as Nancy Mace cares about where people pee.

Note how “concerns about fairness in sports” has already transformed into unvarnished transphobic bigotry

With an anti-science loon in charge, go long on bad health. His objections to fluoridated water will result in more cavities. A big win for dentists and cavity supply companies.

1.2 Millions Americans died because of his negligence, while he was sending our lifesaving supplies to Putin.

OK School Chief Ryan Walters directed all public school teachers in his state to play this video to students, where he says a prayer for Trump.

Trump’s FCC Director nominee. The oil and gas industry, polluters, corporations and banks will be free from regulations; while the media, schools, universities, scientists, doctors, and Trump’s political enemies will receive special attention. As we warned many times.

Beware the Day One dictator.

Trump's pick to lead the mass deportations that will cripple the American economy played an important part in writing #Project2025. Also, his pick to lead the #FCC wrote the section in Project 2025 about the FCC. Maybe he did actually know the people who wrote Project 2025?

Apparently over at the bad place you can’t call Elon Musk a 40 pound toddler with a full diaper.

The point of bringing in Hegseth, Gaetz and Gabbard is to burn it all to the ground. Senate: You must recognize this and stop it.

Is it time to investigate the investigators who don't release their investigations?

New in PN: Trump moves to burn down the rule of law "Gaetz is basically Trump writ small, a petty little tyrant who came to prominence thanks to Daddy’s money, a misogynist who sees women as objects for the taking, and an unqualified troll who has bullied his way to the top."
