New in PN: The "cognitively irresponsibility" presidency "Cognitive irresponsibility is a giveaway that a leader is an authoritarian ... they don’t want to have to persuade the nation. They want to make a policy, and when we ask why, they say, 'Because I said so.'"

A blind man is raising concerns about Indiana gun laws after he was allowed to get a license to carry a handgun

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

Hearing from federal employees tonight who are getting messages via their agency’s emergency notification system, which is usually reserved for snow-related office closures, that’s like DO NOT RESPOND TO THAT EMAIL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, WE HAVE NO IDEA IF ANY OF THOSE PROMISES ARE REAL

The reality show President is creating mini "reality shows" to satisfy the voyeuristic interests of USians. He knows that a significant number of people get pleasure from watching others suffer.

Trump is attempting to unilaterally freeze trillions of dollars in federal spending that’s been duly appropriated by Congress. This is completely insane and illegal. He’s seizing unlawful control over the constitutional spending power? Five alarm fire www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

We need to pay attention to this now before it’s too late.

Oh FFS www.cnbc.com/2025/01/27/g...

What a fucking joke. Every guardrail is gone as the oligarchy bends to the will of the authoritarian.

I am completely unsurprised

Yeah, me too …

When there weren't enough bank examiners on the beat, SVB and Signature Bank failed, requiring big bailouts. The FDIC should explain why it’s now axing even more examiners whose job it is to make sure big banks don't crash our economy. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

On October 24th 2024, when Kamala Harris said that tRump was a fascist she was correct. She was not exaggerating or engaging in name calling. She made an accurate judgement of tRump's character based on his own past behavior and statements.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) is a longtime friend of RFK, Jr. and reportedly has not yet committed to voting against him. Personal friendship are not relevant to whether a nut job like RFK, Jr. is qualified. Call Whitehouse: 202-224-2921 Or message: whitehouse.senate.gov/contact/email-sheldon

Elon Musk contributed more than $250 million to 2024 campaign groups backing Donald Trump www.usatoday.com/story/news/p... via @usatoday.com

Here’s what the law says about the 30-day notice requirement to Congress about firing IGs:

This is why wealthy Americans, like Elon Musk, want middle class Americans to be obsessed with worrying about immigrants stealing from their piece of the zero-sum economic pie.

Donald Trump revoking security for Mike Pompeo and other members of his first administration, despite credible evidence of ongoing threats, is a deeply troubling precedent. Security for current and former government officials should not be politicized. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/u...

Yesterday, ICE raided a business in New Jersey and detained both citizens and non-citizens — without a warrant. They even detained a U.S. military veteran. Nobody is safe.

Why are Trump & Musk so fixated on Greenland? It’s not just about its strategic location—it’s the minerals. As Greenland’s ice melts (climate change) it’s exposing cobalt, lithium & copper (key for EV batteries).Their interest looks less like America first & more like exploiting crisis for profit.

Mahoney to the rescue….Steve Guttenberg….hero of the #PalisadesFire staying back helping move cars for fire trucks to get through

This is my award winning documentary 'True Believers At The Insurrection'. My footage has been licensed in every documentary about that day and by the January 6th committee and in the 2nd impeachment trial. My work is made possible by your support.

I posted about it already but I will repost you here. Thank you! #BadassFeminist

FACT CHECK: Guns on January 6 CLAIM: Trump says no rioters on January 6 were armed with guns. TRUTH: Several rioters were armed with guns and other weapons—the convictions prove it. Watch…

Why are Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Pichai and Tim Cook visiting and giving money to Trump ? Because they are in “The Race “ to become the dominant platform in the world. Amazon/Anthropic vs FB/LLama vs Google/Gemini vs Twitter/Grok, vs IPhones/ChatGpt is the penultimate global power war ever.

Dear Joe, I know it feels really wrong to order your AG to release a Special Counsel report because that’s been a bad thing to do for so long. But the Supreme Court says it’s okay now. It’s legal. It’s an official act. So go ahead, Mr. President. It’s normal now. ~ Everyone

Not only did Fox News lie about the suspect driving the car across the border two days ago, it turns out the car never even crossed the border at all. It was just driving around Eagle Pass over a month ago. Clown. Show.

Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene are actively spreading anti-immigrant disinformation about the perpetrator of the attack in New Orleans, who was born in the U.S. and is an army veteran.

In this age of increased terrorist threats and actions, we strongly need an FBI run by seasoned and competent leaders, not political hacks like Kash Patel.

Trump insinuating the truck driver in New Orleans is an immigrant…

I’m glad Biden got every penny appropriated to Ukraine out the door before the melon felon takes over. You know he’d impound that money if there were any left. 🇺🇦 🫶

The Speaker saga: - Trump slams Mike Johnson for passing the CR to keep the government open - MAGA demands Johnson's head - Someone shows Trump a schoolhouse rock video on how he can't get certified without a Speaker - Trump flips and endorses Johnson - MAGA loves Mike again You're caught up.

Lt. Gen. Honoré: Elon Musk is a national security risk. "If the federal [probes] demonstrate deep connections to China and Russia, the federal gov't should consider revoking Musk's security clearance. It should already be thinking about using alternatives to SpaceX." www.nytimes.com/2024/12/29/o...

The incoming felon-elect is willing to send our troops to “take back the Panama Canal” in order to stop their government from investigating his businesses there, but he says that lowering the price of groceries here at home will be “too hard.” Anyone else see a problem here?

How is that a publication like Rolling Stone gets it right when so many other news orgs are failing at real journalism & keeping it real—and so damn obvious about it?

Translation: She was just told Desantis isn’t picking her.

NEW: North Carolina Alliance for Retired Americans, VoteVets Action Fund and individual voters file motion to oppose GOP effort to disenfranchise tens of thousands of voters in state Supreme Court election. Proud that my law firm is representing these brave clients in this fight for voting rights.

Canada is rocking much better than America! They actually have people in power who stand up to the convicted felon instead of bowing down. We could use some of this truth to power in our media. It’s embarrassing for America.
