I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

Nice

Not a joke.

Please add to my list of things that would be better to do than watching Trump tonight: 1. Root canal with no novicane 2. imitate Mike Tyson's voice to his face. 3. Watch Don Jr podcast marathon. 4. Use outhouse at 6 a.m in Manitoba 5. Cross country road trip with Stephen Miller 5.

Good interview with Ken at www.hopiumchronicles.com . Scroll down a bit. Ken is impressive

Both what Bernie says and his not being electable can be true.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

This is very good news. Something we can sure use

Yes

It's been a week. The shock part is over; the awe part never happened. Time to be throwing sand into the fascist gears, y'all.

And when you reach 66 you realize it was the Grateful Dead all along. HBD

Any ideas?

I don't see blue states allowing him in the ballot.

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

Wikler for head of DNC.

It’s a tale as old as kleptocracy: Trump ran a campaign of division and fake populism. Now, he’s appointing a cabinet of billionaires and gearing up to rip off everyone who can’t afford a Mar-a-Lago membership.🧵

Trump has jumped the shark.

What permanent damage does the budget episode do to trump?

The Musk is POTUS framing is brilliant. It will drive trump nuts, characterize the incoming administration and eventually make the two blowhards massive enemies.

He's doing that very much on purpose.

On CNN tonight, former Rep Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) is referring to “President Elon” and “Vice President Trump”

It is cowardly. It's not about the size of the companies. It's about fear of retribution.

Cooder is a treasure. Album out with Taj.

Time got it right. Person of the year is not necessarily a good person or somebody who does something positive.

Spread Elliot’s message far and wide. It could save a life. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💙 Elliot Page joined the ACLU in front of SCOTUS yesterday to send a clear message: We will never stop fighting for trans youth. #DemCast

On Sunday, I launched my campaign to chair the DNC. I'm looking forward to talking with DNC members & allies about how we can unite our party, fight on every platform in every place, and win – with a year-round campaign strategy for each and every state and territory. @michellegoldberg.bsky.social

Go Ben go

Way too soon.
