One month after being pardoned by President Trump for his role in the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the Proud Boys, was arrested again on charges of assaulting a protester at a bizarre news conference held outside the Capitol on Friday.

"They’re going to play golf. They’re going to do a lot of things. They’re not working."

American presidents don’t even joke about this. Just because he’s petty doesn’t mean this isn’t dangerous.

Imagine if Presidents Clinton, Bush, Obama or Biden posted this from the official White House account. 25th Amendment would be on the table.

After Trump declared himself King, White House Deputy Chief of Staff added this picture. If this was any other President, they would be discussing the 25th.

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

We’re not going to call it the Gulf of America. Some thoughts on the latest episode of “The Jim Acosta Show.”

The Jim Acosta Show Friday Feb 14, with @normeisen.bsky.social on SDNY resignations and @ezralevin.bsky.social on how Democrats can fight back plus Manuel Oliver on “Guac.” Now on Substack, YouTube and Apple Podcasts. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

My latest on Substack: Trump WH harassment of the Associated Press cannot stand. open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

As Canada's population is about the same as California, that would mean they'd have about 50 electoral votes. MAGA probably didn't consider that. abcnews.go.com/Politics/wir...

"51stState" trending with MAGA on X. What they might want to think about is that Canada would have over 50 electoral votes. Probably didn't occur to them. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH) came with facts for Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds (R) while Reynolds tried to defend her state's push for government efficiency

Ok then, Madame Secretary 🤦‍♀️ www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Why the hell is she smiling at this moron?

Jan 6 must be fully & conclusively adjudicated in a court of law if this country is to ever move forward. They can't just wish it away unless we let them.

Trump says Americans could feel ‘some pain’ from his new tariffs that are triggering a trade war apnews.com/article/trum...

February 1 is the beginning of Black History Month, which for decades has recognized the contributions of Black people to American civic life and culture. With President Trump’s furious assault on diversity programs, the celebration takes on new significance.

Breaking news: The Canadian dollar, Mexican peso and US stock futures fell early on Monday after Donald Trump levied 25% tariffs on America's biggest trading partners www.ft.com/content/33ff...

Thousands of protesters rallied in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday against President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration and his aggressive deportation policies.

NEW: WIRED has identified six young men—all apparently between the ages of 19 and 24, according to public databases, their online presences, and other records—who have little to no government experience and are now playing critical roles in Musk’s DOGE project. By @telliotter.bsky.social

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

Republicans will not speak out. Democrats need to hold a daily press conference on the Capitol Steps speaking plainly to the American public against this #musktakeover. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine stance and rejection of proven health measures could lead him to cancel or redirect vital health projects for his own agenda. His influence could delay progress and put communities at risk. We can’t afford to let personal beliefs disrupt essential health advancements.

Trump’s White House is rewriting history, pushing “patriotic education” while banning discussions on racism and gender. This isn’t education—it’s censorship. Silencing truth weakens our democracy. America needs facts, not propaganda.

Sen. Bill Cassidy - a vaccine advocate and doctor - signaled that he's skeptical of RFK Jr.'s nomination. He also said that his office has received calls in support of RFK Jr. I cannot stress this enough: If you live in Louisiana, CALL CASSIDY'S OFFICE AND DEMAND THAT HE VOTE NO. ☎️(202) 224-5824☎️

Sen. Bill Cassidy’s contact info here; please take a moment to give him a call and politely urge a no vote on RFK, Jr He’s clearly disturbed by Kennedy and has the power to scuttle the nomination, help him get off the fence www.cassidy.senate.gov/contact/

Sowing doubt about vaccines has earned RFK Jr. millions of dollars — and could keep paying out if he's confirmed to lead HHS. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/nkl1b1

A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.

The cruelty is the point. The chaos is the point. Creating fear and panic is the point. It's always been about this.

Caroline Kennedy is right. He must not be confirmed. Caroline Kennedy warns senators of ‘predator’ RFK Jr. in searing letter www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Thank you Jim Acosta for all your years of holding people accountable and standing up to truth. You are one of the best journalists I've seen. CNN doesn't deserve a person of your caliber and character.

Jim Acosta is one of the few remaining CNN anchors with real integrity. Removing him from his morning show to appease the Orange Fascist is a sign of weakness on the network’s part. That’s why its viewership has declined dramatically, and will continue to do so. www.thedailybeast.com/jim-acosta-r...

Trump's nominates possibly the one of the worst ever members of Congress, Matt Gaetz first. Then this alleged abuser, raging alcoholic, unqualified failed leader of 2 non profits gets this enormously important job. Is this what Trump means by "merit based hiring?". 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

This Congresswoman is from New Mexico.

ICE was in my hospital today… i am so beyond angry—this is unacceptable stay away from our patients and let us do our jobs
