Hello fellow Boomers: We have lived most of our lives in a free society. I’m guessing many of you, like me, took it completely for granted. We may not live to see a free USA again. 1/2

Jennifer and I are heartbroken by the devastating tragedy at Reagan National Airport. Our hearts go out to the families of those aboard Flight 5342 out of Wichita and the service members inside the helicopter. California is grateful for the first responders on the scene.

Donald Trump is the most unpopular president at the start of his term in modern American political history. Don't let anyone talk to you about a mandate. Don't let anyone talk to you about there being support for his agenda. Don't let anyone tell you that anything about this presidency is normal.

I’m a young man with Autism living in Scotland. I feel very bad for what my American friends are going through right now. I supported VP Harris and Coach Walz in the US election and while they may not have won I will continue to uphold the values they espouse. 🧵

Here's my Gov Walz tearing Rat Fucker von Shitzhispants a new one for freezing payments to the states. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR96...

A message to USAID staff, obtained by NPR, says it will analyze "actions within USAID that appear to be designed to circumvent the President's Executive Order" freezing most foreign aid.

Bessent won Senate confirmation with the support of more than two dozen Democrats.

This guy is a rich jock and jackass. What an embarrassment this state has become.

Happy Birthday to the leader of the free world. Slava Ukraini🇺🇦

BREAKING: The Senate has just voted to confirm Pete Hegseth, a drunken, out-of-control abuser, as the weakest Secretary of Defense in history. This was the closest vote for SecDef, needing the weird couch guy to break the tie. It's a sad day for America. Hegseth is a DUI hire.

I fucking hate Trump’s America.

Costco’s shareholders voted overwhelmingly to reject a proposal from a conservative think tank aimed at getting the company to roll back its diversity hiring practices.

You guys need to see this and take it in… Wise words from someone who is a target. And he’s been listening.

Also yes project 2025 was always the plan.

Senator Chuck Schumer continues to torch Pete Hegseth: "Is man, with a known history of excessive drinking, the guy you want at the other end of the phone at 2AM in a crisis? In control of the nuclear codes? Who are we kidding?" Go Chuck!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Constitution is clear: if you're born on American soil, you're an American citizen. I'm grateful there are still some within in our justice system, including GOP-appointed judges like this one, who refuse to abandon their oath of office to uphold this sacred document. apnews.com/article/birt...

One way to reduce drug spend is to have the FDA do an analysis of how long medicine retains it's potency. It can do it one drug at a time. No one should throw away medicine they shouldn't have to. Whether pharmacy or patient. www.propublica.org/article/the-...

I'll summarize the whole podcast genre: " If you are entertaining, people will listen to you and buy what you are selling. Including politics " They will not check your background, your education or fact check you It's a podcast. They are trying to kill time. Entertainment sells.

Don't worry, this will be updated again when necessary

Yep, time to suit up.

News: @jenrubin.bsky.social is becoming the latest in a long list of Washington Post figures to leave the troubled institution. She is partnering with former WH ethics czar @normeisen.bsky.social and launching a startup called The Contrarian. Here's my full story >>> www.cnn.com/2025/01/13/m...

Sold.

News Analysis: Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency will face a daunting reality. Any effort to slash the U.S. government and its 2.3 million civilian workers will likely face resistance in Congress, lawsuits from activist groups and delays mandated by federal rules.

SCOOP: At least two dozen House lawmakers are sizing up runs for Senate or governor in 2026 — far more than is publicly known.

Powerful insight on the psychology of fascism and its followers from the amazing John Amaechi. It helps that he also has a voice like liquid gold.
