Yep. We are only weeks into a chaos and controversy-plagued transition for a four year presidency, in which for at least the first two years, a vengeful convicted criminal who has criminal immunity from the Supreme Court controls both chambers of Congress. It’s going to be much worse than we think.

Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD

It’s awesome how many people have made the move to Bluesky from X. But I urge people to be vigilant. X and its cabals of toxic trolls and grifters is not going to die out easily. There is a possibility they will at least attempt to bring their toxic habits here. indianexpress.com/article/tech...

Linda McMahon lied about having a degree in education to serve on the Connecticut state board of education. She will head the U.S Department of Education under Trump. The narrative that Trump wants to intentionally corrode our institutions sounds about right. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

Facts matter. Science saves lives. Anti-science destroys them.

While Trump's Criminal Cases Are On Hold, His Civil Cases Will Continue Full Speed Ahead. Because #JusticeMatters youtube.com/watch?v=PMbF...

What (if anything) can we glean from Senate Republicans bucking Trump not once but twice? Could it be that they don't share Trump's appetite for dictatorship?

One day, like a miracle. ☕️

“America’s Next Top Model” alum Jenn An has accused Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, of strangling and sexually assaulting her on a music video set in 2010, according to a federal lawsuit she filed this week.

Trump’s intel pick Tulsi Gabbard was placed on government watch list for overseas travel and foreign connections www.cnn.com/2024/11/22/p...

Honestly, just F Joe Rogan

When I wrote this in July, some said I was being alarmist. Unfortunately, now I look prescient. "Project 2025 is premised on contempt for constitutional norms and the rule of law. It seeks to reshape American government, law and society for a generation." www.democracydocket.com/opinion/how-...

“The CIA & the FBI are trembling,” Komsomolskaya Pravda, a Russian newspaper, wrote in glowing profile of Gabbard, noting, positively, that Ukrainians consider her “an agent of the Russian state.” Rossiya-1, state TV, called her a Russian “comrade” in Trump’s cabinet www.nytimes.com/2024/11/18/u...

Convicted felon Trump & his allies want to use the military to punish critics & opponents by invoking the Insurrection Act as an excuse to deploy the military against civil demonstrations. Protect our Bill of Rights' freedom of assembly & speech. https://bit.ly/4fnavId

I'm struggling to get particularly exercised about this because anyone who's paid any attention to politics over the last ten years knew that Trump was lying about not only Project 2025 but every single one of the hundreds of promises he made to voters The issue is that his voters don't read news

I won’t be able to get them all, but I promise if I find a MAGA troll in my comments bothering readers, I’ll block them. I want the reading experience here to be a good one—just as I want that when I’m reading/commenting on others’ feeds. MAGAs are free to be here, but harass people and you’re gone.

I understand why people bought them years ago. I do not understand how or why anyone would buy one now. Many better options, and the CEO is a white supremacist.

I just got a push notification for an Elon tweet… on one of my Twitter accounts that doesn’t follow Elon. Just next level neediness and insecurity.

Not enough ink spilled on the threats here to Medicare in particular, which hhs directly oversees
