Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

In 2021, Pennsylvania GOP's Sean Parnell’s then-estranged wife testified he repeatedly abused her & their young kids, verbally & in occasional fits of violence. “He tried to choke me out on a couch" & once forced her out of a car & told her "go get an abortion." Trump made him Pentagon Spokesman.

BREAKING: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who ran a failed 2024 presidential campaign built on crank beliefs about medical science before dropping out and endorsing Donald Trump, was confirmed by Senate Republicans on Thursday as the president’s Secretary of Health and Human Services.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

-The GOP only accepts the election results when they win. -The GOP only accepts court rulings if in their favor. -The GOP only protects speech they agree with. -The GOP is a cancer to our democratic Republic.

Statement from Senator Elizabeth Warren: “Vought is giving big banks and giant corporations the green light to scam families. The CFPB has returned over $21 billion to families cheated by Wall Street. Republicans have failed to gut it in Congress and in the courts. They will fail again.”

Just for fun, here’s Matt Schlapp, the head of CPAC, on a trip to Ghana to celebrate USAID projects.

None of this is legal.

So the world's richest man spends a fortune backing Trump and is given the go-ahead to... -Run an "efficiency" agency despite having billions in govt contracts -Replace civil servants with his own cronies -Gain access to sensitive Treasury payment systems See the problem?

I was one of those warning how bad it would be and how Trump 2 would be much worse than anyone complacently assumed. But even I didn’t have ‘cancel all foreign aid, including to kids with HIV & malaria’ and also ‘let the world’s richest man get access to our private data’ on my 2025 bingo card.

“But her emails!”

Far too many people mistake petty stuff like this for strength. Instead of what it obviously is—the action of weak, small, insecure men who recoil when faced with actual integrity. They know, deep down, guys like Milley are everything they aren’t.

Trump deported 200 Colombians. None were criminals. It's critical that we publicize this and counteract the propaganda.

Trump rescinded Biden's Executive Order to lower prescription drug costs for Americans, which will be devastating for tens of millions of people. We need to stay focused on issues like that—not on the shiny, offensive distractions like Elon's weird salute.

I dedicated years of my life to reporting on January 6 and exposing what happened. I was there that day, co-wrote a book, and published a series of major stories on my own, for Rolling Stone, and for TPM. I hope it mattered. I hope history will remember and understand what happened.

Elon Musk goes full Nazi salute at Trump event minutes ago. This is who MAGA is:

Once again, Will Bunch gets it. Running to the middle of the road gets Democrats nowhere. As the inimitable Jim Hightower once put it, there's nothing in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos.

Jan 6th is a reminder to me: cowardice spreads like wildfire… this country needs leaders who are willing to tell the people the truth, not pander to lies

President Biden just awarded Liz Cheney the Presidential Citizens Medal “for putting the American people over party.”🇺🇸🇺🇸

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed. The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

Kylie Kelce's new podcast has been #1 on Apple and Spotify for 10 straight days, knocking Joe Rogan from the top spot. She says her political views skew "aggressively left" and she doesn't care what Trump fans think of her. Here's a gift article: www.nytimes.com/2024/12/19/b...

“FACT CHECK: Yes, Trump Praised the Nazis in Charlottesville” Sorry, Elon Musk and Joe Rogan, but Trump absolutely did praise neo-Nazis, and it's not actually a 'hoax,’ writes @katz.theracket.news in this #mustread mythbuster for Zeteo.

Biden's NLRB has made it easier for workers to unionize and cracked down on anti-union practices like captive audience meetings. Like his first term, Trump's NLRB will likely be staffed with union-busting hacks who will reverse these gains. Who's really on the side of workers?

Trump said that rioters on January 6 had "no choice" but to assault police officers If any Democrat in the country publicly justified the assault of a police officer it is all you would ever hear about for years www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people just passed $2 TRILLION. 12 people. $2 trillion. The bottom half of America collectively holds $3.5 trillion. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

With that key Nelson Agholor drop, it is time to revisit this gem. #FlyEaglesFly www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dz7...
