Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

Trump is now firing FBI agents who worked on J6 cases for doing their jobs. www.cnn.com/2025/01/31/p...

One movie a day for 365 days. 31/365: Gentleman Jim. Feisty and cocky, 'oirish' Flynn gets all the way to the top. Enter haughty Smith. The two fall in love and "hate each other". The best movie about prizefighting, even better than Raging Bull. Why? It's fun and there's Errol.

ICYMI: After OMB Director Nominee Vought's hearing, I submitted some questions for the record which he is required to answer under oath. While he dodged many of our questions in the hearing and in other responses to QFRs, he used this one to show his true colors.

NEW: At least 6 senior FBI officials have been ordered to resign or be fired by Monday. They include those that oversee cyber, national security and criminal investigations. www.cnn.com/2025/01/30/p...

On his first day at DOD, Pete Hegseth ordered the military to suspend all recognition of holidays like MLK Jr’s Birthday, Holocaust Remembrance Day, Black History Month, Juneteenth,Women’s Equality Day, National Hispanic Heritage Month Pride Month, & National Disability Employment Awareness Month.

It’s far too soon to ascribe responsibility for the horrific DC plane collision, but it’s not too soon to say that dismantling the safeguards afforded by a functioning federal government put us at significant risk. And it’s irrefutable that, since January 20th, we are all less safe.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

"Donald Trump's administration is lying to you." Gov. J.B. Pritzker slammed the White House for saying the freeze wouldn’t affect Head Start and Medicaid. This is how we do it. Call out Trump’s lies to the camera, bold, strong action. Hold him accountable, every single time.

This threatening tweet was deleted by Trump’s dumbest son 20 minutes after he posted it.

Trump firing these inspector generals without notifying Congress is an impeachable offense.

Holy f*ck! Just days after his Nazi salute seen around the world, Elon Musk is speaking at an AfD rally about “German pride”, warning against “multicultural delusion”, and telling them not to feel guilty about the “sins of their great grandparents”.

The purpose of this is … what??

Trump last night fired 17 inspectors-general. IGs were historically a nonpartisan position. Trump however takes the view, "You can get away with a lot more when nobody is watching." www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/u...

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Helpful!

Good morning.

JUST IN: The U.S. added 256,000 jobs in December, surpassing expectations and bringing the total for 2024 to 2.2 million. The unemployment rate dipped to 4.1%, and wages grew 3.9% over the past year, far outpacing inflation.

Check out the Carter Center’s photo from the funeral this morning and who’s obscured. This photographer needs a raise. 🤣

Rewatching Old Acquaintance. I have a huge soft spot for this sophisticated soap opera; sophistication and soap opera don't usually go hand in hand. Bette is great as always, but the icing is Miriam, deliciously over the top, who gets the fun part.

Everyone should read the letters the Las Vegas cybertruck guy left. The excerpts that most media are quoting manifestly understate the guy’s crazed support for Trump, Musk and RFK Jr. It’s clear whom the media owners are trying to please and placate.

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor. Party of Family Values, am I right?

Congress should ask Pam Bondi during her confirmation hearings why she failed to bring statutory rape charges against Matt Gaetz.

Matt Gaetz was found by congressional ethics investigators to have paid numerous women — including a 17-year-old girl — for sex, and to have purchased and used illegal drugs, including from his Capitol Hill office, according to a final draft of a comprehensive investigative report.

I was really hoping we'd have a woman as president before we had one from South Africa, but here we are.

I knew it was going to be a shit show. But I didn’t expect it to be a shit show a month before he even takes office.

Some folks are pretty good seeing things coming.
