Mike Myers, Canadian legend, on SNL tonight.

We just watched Trump & Vance do Putin’s bidding in the Oval Office & it was horrific. Not even two months into this administration & it’s a disaster for the free world.

It's heartening that today the leaders of the two major parties in Germany are unequivocally anti-Nazi and anti-fascist. It's horrifying that today the president and vice-president of the United States of America are not.

BREAKING: President Trump just fired the head of the Office of Government Ethics. By all indications, Trump is planning to run a lawless administration and these unprecedented moves are an alarming first step to put those plans into action. www.citizensforethics.org/news/press-r...

The head of the independent federal Office of Special Counsel has filed a lawsuit, claiming he was illegally fired by President Trump.

I’ve got the morning shift. This guy is dangerous and unfit to serve and I’m about to explain why. Tune in: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

honestly think some of the hesitation here is that no one wants to sound like a crank. i was talking at an event last night and even i felt like a crank while i was speaking!

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

The egg industry has been impacted by a surge of bird flu cases, with more than 13 million egg-laying hens dying in December. That means a dozen large, Grade A eggs cost an average of $4.15 -- a nearly 37% increase from the year before. via @kcur.org

Fab opinion from Judge Beryl Howell: No “national injustice” occurred here, just as no outcome-determinative election fraud occurred in the 2020 pres election. No “process of national reconciliation” can begin when poor losers.. are glorified for disrupting a constitutionally mandated proceeding"

We just sued DOGE. Under FACA, DOGE is required to comply with transparency, ethics, records retention and equal representation. DOGE is currently violating these requirements. So, DOGE has two choices: follow FACA requirements or shut down.

I'm sick and tired of the hypocrisy of Republicans pretending to be the party of "Law and Order," when they've just elected the most lawless, chaotic jackass in American history. My latest Substack. Please consider sharing and supporting my efforts. brooklyndaddefiant.substack.com/p/maga-lawle...

"Homicide and most other violent crimes have dropped below levels seen before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and nationwide social justice protests of 2020, according to a new study of crime trends in 40 American cities...by the Council on Criminal Justice (CCJ)." But most Americans don't know.

you don't say. already RAISING Rx drug costs. Next up: Higher food prices! hbr.org/2025/01/trum...

BREAKING: North Carolina Supreme Court Rejects Petition to Toss 60k Ballots, Waits for Lower Courts. Paige and I explain this big development. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HLi...

A reason to celebrate! A law legalizing marriage between same-sex couples has gone into effect in Thailand. The law, passed in June 2024, makes Thailand the first country in Southeast Asia to recognize same-sex relationships.

Courage begets courage.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde Hero.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

Trump is currently attending a National Prayer Service at the Washington National Cathedral presided by Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde. I interviewed Bishop Budde, she told me, "Trump seeks to dismantle everything I stand for.” Then I learned of the unlikely Trump resistance within the cathedral.

For the rest of my life I will never understand how MAGA is so furious about Dr. Fauci, who saved many lives, being pardoned by President Biden, but they're thrilled about January 6th thugs, who beat cops with flagpoles, being pardoned by trump.

Musk did a Nazi salute because he knows there are zero political consequences to him doing so, and he can harass and intimidate anyone who tries to call him out. Expect others to follow suit…there are going to be a lot of unacceptable words and behaviors that are going to become “normal” + defended

If she had any self-respect, Pam Bondi would withdraw her nomination. Not only is this the worst affront to the DOJ in its history, it contradicts her testimony and her expressed revulsion for pardoning people who are violent to enforcement while making her look impotent.

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

It is hard to overstate the destructive and devastating impact of Trump’s sweeping pardons of January 6 participants. It is now clear when they say they were because of Trump, he agrees. Our statement:

That Chief Justice Roberts will administer the oath of office to a man who has broken it in the past & undoubtedly will again, the presidency he made possible, pretty much symbolizes the whole day for me.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Kinda funny, but not.

It would be a tragedy if President Biden dIdn’t pardon Leonard Peltier, who deserves clemency if anyone does and who is emblematic of our nation’s grotesque mistreatment of Native Americans. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

#Mosaicmonday The Duomo of Siena’s floor consists of 56 beautiful, inlaid marble mosaics which are covered most of the time to protect them. Here is a great piece about them: www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/19045 @thehistoryblog.bsky.social 🗃️ #historyofart #renaissance #mosaic #history #design

Who else is really looking forward to not watching the Inauguration? 👀 👎

BREAKING: Attorney General Merrick Garland says in court filing that Jack Smith has already submitted his final report regarding Trump's D.C. election subversion case and that Garland intends to release the report to Congress and the public: www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/u...

VP Harris: Today, I will perform my constitutional duty as Vice President to certify the results of the 2024 election. This duty is a sacred obligation — one I will uphold guided by love of country, loyalty to our Constitution, and unwavering faith in the American people.

This stream of Kash Patel’s baseless conspiracy theories about FBI on Jan 6 should disqualify him from leading the agency. Thanks to @normeisen.bsky.social and @tomjoscelyn.bsky.social for their work to compile it. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Can someone tell me who is the leader of the Democratic Party? It appears we really don’t have one. Could that be the problem?

With all the talk about Judge Merchan’s plan to impose a sentence without jail time or fine & with an unconditional discharge on January 10, I’d urge him instead to condition Trump’s discharge on obeying the presidential oath he will take on January 20. That’s a promise we know Trump won’t keep.

I support this brilliant criminal-justice innovation
