Seen just now at CPAC… The most un-American party of all time.

Stephen Miller explodes trying to defend DOGE. “When faced with even the simplest questions about DOGE, Donald Trump’s former immigration ghoul couldn’t keep his cool long enough to make it through an interview on CNN.” newrepublic.com/post/191665/...

"Unfortunately, rather than be shocked by each time Trump or one of his closest allies utter something openly authoritarian, we need to take a step back and realize that the Republican Party has become an authoritarian political party."

Media literacy moment. If you wonder why journalists avoid using the word “Lie” it’s simple. It’s difficult to prove someone is knowingly lying in court. They could just say something incorrect without knowing it. Using terms like “liar or lie” opens up journalists to lawsuits. That’s it.

We mock the egg price discourse but if Harris had won rising prices would have been the crisis cited as killing her presidency before it got started.

Glenn Kirschner, former federal prosecutor and YouTube host, joins us after the break to talk about whether it's legal for Trump to do... ALL OF THIS. Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner #SexyLiberal #JusticeMatters #JusticeIsComing https://buff.ly/40qFRbR

Given "what appears to be a loyalty purge of the federal bureaucracy, what appears to be unwillingness of the Trump administration to obey court orders, maybe historians will look back and say that American democracy ended in January 2025," Paul Krugman said. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

The Danielle Sassoon letter to AG Bondi is wow. If you have a tip about what’s going on in DOJ/SDNY, I can be reached on Signal at annabower.24 Read the letter: www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

OPINION | Richard Forno “It’s crucial for the administration, Congress and the public to recognize the cybersecurity dangers that DOGE’s activities pose and take meaningful steps to bring the organization under reasonable control and oversight.” buff.ly/4hAijrm

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.

Talking to an acquaintance in India on WhatsApp. Spellcheck for “genocide” or “Ukraine” doesn’t exist. Just a heads up…

I’m still waiting for all the folks who voted for Jill Stein or another third party candidate “because Harris is no better than Trump” to admit how fucking wrong they were.

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

This asshole could have ended it all by voting to convict and remove. He can fuck off with this late stage bullshit.

Trump’s freeze on foreign aid will hurt America An expression of soft power, it provides more bang for the buck than almost any other budget item. The Editorial Board www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Yep.

We’re going to hear a lot more of THIS over the next four years. #Trumpflation

Unpopular activist opinion. My Mpls Mayor candidate this year is Anderson Kelliher.

He doesn't get to reclaim his honor now...

It has been 60 years since Minnesota experienced as little crime as it did in 2024. For the vast majority of people alive in Minnesota last year was the safest of their lives. Keep this in mind when politicians in upcoming elections attempt to use fear to get you to vote for them!

Hide the ketchup! The Trump inauguration had the worst ratings in modern presidential history. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Mike Johnson and Republicans have refused for the last two years to put up this plaque honoring law enforcement officers that served on Jan. 6 and Donald Trump just pardoned 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants. Remind me again who is the Party of law and order?

The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.

So Trump, who was the president who initially banned TikTok in his first administration--b/c China, China, China--and got the ball rolling, will now come in and save it b/c it helped him in election and CEO sucked up. And because of memory hole, young voters will think he's a savior.

8” of snow laid on the ground for John F. Kennedy’s inauguration on 1/20/61. It was 19 degrees in Wash. D. C. In his speech? “If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.” In a world of Donalds, be a John.

Efforts to stall the Jan 6 investigation by Trump and his allies allowed him to beat the clock. My analysis of Jack Smith’s report here.

States shouldn't have to earn the right to federal aid. But in any case, California, which subsidizes the rest of the country, definitely has open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Yes, it MATTERS that the FELON was tried by a jury of his peers, found GUILTY of 34 counts of business fraud, sentenced, & CONVICTED!!! The felon won’t always be POTUS! He doesn’t have absolute immunity for all conduct! He’s engaged in criminality & turpitude! Every bit of accountability matters!
