I missed Trump’s apology to Zelensky for calling him a dictator last week.

"Why don't you wear a suit?"

This is Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend by the way. Here's there instead of the AP.

US President Donald Trump is taking a wrecking ball to science and to international institutions. The global research community must take a stand against these attacks. https://go.nature.com/4kd1vIu

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

It’s not a coincidence—it’s a warning.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you. STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

The difference between Democrats and Republicans: No Democrat is rallying behind the corrupt Eric Adams, proclaiming him as the leader of the party, or promoting him as a presidential candidate. 🇺🇸

seems like it is a big deal that the unifying ideology of the doge team is neo nazism

This statement could only be honored by the ignorant, indoctrinated and gullible. We the people of the United States of America do not obey a dictator.

And now, from the “AYFKMRN?” desk: www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

I was led to believe that the two most important issues to American voters were the price of eggs and the risk of dementia in an aging president.

Tulsi Gabbard has just been confirmed as the Director of National Intelligence. 😫

We can’t say this enough: When people in Trump‘s orbit deliberately lie about how our constitutional democracy works, they violate the oaths they take to uphold the law. & they violate the trust the American people place in them.

Nobody voted to let Elon Musk cut funding for pediatric cancer research.

Everything seems so confusing in America right now, but this era will be easily explained in the history books: The majority of white men became afraid that they'd lose their privileged place in society, so they threw in with racist, sexist criminals in order to keep it.

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other. Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

It’s getting terrifyingly clear folks: DOGE is a Trojan horse for full authoritarian takeover.

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy's letter so everyone is informed about RFK Jr. Please repost far and wide.

What's happening now didn't come from outer space. It happened because when given a choice between good governance and an authoritarian, the AMERICAN VOTERS CHOSE THE AUTHORITARIAN. Instead of blaming themselves or the Authoritarian, y'all are choose to blame the Dems for not being LOUD enough.

[finger to earpiece] I’m here on the ground and can report the giant imaginary faucet is ON, I repeat, the giant imaginary faucet is on, back to you, Bob [camera light goes off] what the hell is this felonious fuck babbling about now

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

A farm worker sent us this pic from where they are harvesting carrots in Santa Maria. It's hard difficult work. We're on our knees most of the time on the cold damp soil. In addition, I don't live near the field and I have to drive an hour to work. #WeFeedYou

"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong.

The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like. static.politico.com/b3/3e/5baf92...

Nazi SALUTE and now this ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Please listen and share

I’m wondering how Hegseth’s first day of sobriety is going so far. 🤢

Looking around at the US in this moment, I feel a mixture of nausea + rage. Nausea, for obvious reasons. Rage? Rage because for decades now, I've been trying to warn folks. As a #Homeschooled little girl, I had a front row seat to this nonsense. 🧵1/16

This puritanical pixie thinks Jesus's Sermon on the Mount was radical ideology. "Blessed are the merciful." Matthew 5:7 Christian Nationalists are the least likely Americans to pay attention to Jesus. Even atheists are more likely to follow his teachings, if only inadvertently.

A humble soft-voiced Episcopal bishop pointed out that the emperor has no clothes, and the emperor is spitting mad. May she be the first of many voices of conscience to point out what the fawning and normalizing press is afraid to say.

Reup: Peterr's reflection on Bishop Budde & prayer service: This is a service for the nation. Not for "the citizens of" the nation. Not for "the taxpayers of" the nation. Not for "the leaders of" the nation. This was a service for the nation-the *whole* nation. www.emptywheel.net/2025/01/22/h...

Government by schadenfreude is not sustainable.

ACOSTA: Do you agree with Trump's decision to pardon violent people? REP. BURCHETT: If they were truly violent, no. But I don't know that? ACOSTA: What do you mean you don't know? We're showing the footage right now.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP!

I mean….

We are a week away from “Sure, Elon is a Nazi but he makes the spaceships run on time.”

This isn’t a “seems like” or “appears to be” event… It was intentional, deliberate, and unequivocal.

um

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.
