Hungarians who lived through Viktor Orbán’s 2010 power grab warn Americans: Act now, before it’s too late. www.vox.com/politics/398...

The shock and awe Musk, Vought, Bannon and Trump — are bringing will backfire if we’re smart about it. Make clear that DOGE is the Dept of Govt Extermination, not Efficiency. Let people see that their taxes are no longer paying for vital public services but to fatten the richest people on earth.

Just a reminder, as we start these next four years: "The good thing about science is that it's true, whether or not you believe in it." Neil deGrasse Tyson Scientists, you rock. We rock. Let's keep up the good work. #Science 🧪 #ClimateChange #Extinction #Biodiversity #Conservation

Welp.

Bryan MacCormack, the executive director of a New York-based immigrant rights group, was pulled over by CBP with two undocumented passengers in the vehicle. He knew his rights, refused to acknowledge their "warrant", and despite CBP threatening him, the agents eventually were forced to let him go.

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it. This is the precedent.

Are they gonna smear shit on the walls (again)?

Thanks and farewell to an incredible Secretary of Transportation.

Just going on record that it’s hilarious they’re canceling the inaugural ceremony. It’s not the first time it’s been cold. Were they worried about turnout? no one wanted to see this.

Fearing cold temps and high winds on Inauguration Day,... Trump has announced that outdoor activities have been CANCELLED for the day. There is NOTHING Trump fears more than a windy day, because,...

I did Nazi that coming.

In July 2021, I sat face-to-face in a small room with an unvaccinated person who was feeling a little sick. I was vaccinated, and we were both masked. They died of COVID days later and I didn't even get sick. This dude is unacceptably unqualified.

The fact that it wasn’t will forever be America’s shame.

Elon’s MAGA fans are getting disillusioned.

11 teens have been arrested for beating two men they had lured using a gay dating app. Activists and police warn the attacks are part of a larger social media trend where straight teens and adults target and lure gay men for assault. www.advocate.com/crime/illino...

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina police arrested Zachery Ty Bryan, who played Brad Taylor on the hit 90s TV show Home Improvement, on New Year’s Day for domestic violence...again. Of course he's a MAGA.

her donors should sue her for fraud

MAJOR CRIME!

This aged like raw milk.

In 2006, I wrote "The People formerly Known as the Audience." archive.pressthink.org/2006/06/27/p... Today, Dick Tofel revived that post for use with another: "The People Formerly Known as the Press." dicktofel.substack.com/p/thinking-a... Recommended if you're tracking the future of a free press.

Before they became ass-kissing sycophants, Trump’s cabinet picks used to speak the truth about him.

Trauma is not a shield for shitty behavior, and yet so many try it.

Quite minor in the grand scheme of things, but one thing I think blue states (and CA in particular) should be doing if we morph into tariffsland is require companies operating in the state (above some size) to list the price of tariffs on receipts separately

Californians pay a lot of taxes that wind up supporting red states like South Carolina, so … go ahead. I dare you.

What do you notice in this photo of Trump and first buddy Musk?

“Trump’s bet? The media will do what it has always done: focus on the noise and ignore the existential threat Trump poses. Yes, Trump won the election; no, nothing about who and what he is changed with that victory.” Read more from @therickwilson.bsky.social: open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

NEW: Donald Trump is personally calling senators to press them to confirm former Rep. Matt Gaetz to be his attorney general, according to senators who have spoken with Trump. t.co/P3hTC3Lgk2

"She testified that in July of 2017, at this house party, she was walking out to the pool area, and she looked to her right, and she saw Rep. Gaetz having sex with her friend, who was 17” -Attorney Joel Leppard

There but for the grace of God goes any of us who have to try to keep our jobs by paying off women to keep quiet after they report to the police that we raped them.

I regret to inform you that I do sometimes judge a book by its cover.

No wonder Trump picked him.

Matt Gaetz has been training for this role as Attorney General since he was a teenager. Google “Matt Gaetz 17 year old” to learn more.
