AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.

Which wealthy people will Trump threatened today so he can shake them down and reveal their cowardice as they desperately and greedily cling to their piece of the pie while sacrificing their principles, choosing surrender over a difficult fight? None of it will ever be forgotten.

It’s really striking watching coverage of this joint address how normalized everyone has become to radicals and conspiracy theorists inhabiting the GOP and halls of power. Has a single news network pointed out all extremists currently inside the U.S. Capitol?

Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv while Russia was bombing the city and sending in hit squads to kill him. J.D. Vance fled to an undisclosed location because some peaceful protesters yelled at him while he was on vacation. This is why I believe victory over these people is still possible.

Federal workers choose public service to serve our people, but the Trump administration wants to traumatize them. We need cancer researchers, forest service firefighters, nuclear safety experts, VA nurses and food safety inspectors. We don’t need Elon Musk, whatever his job is.

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

Damn absurd that Republicans are moving to confirm as FBI director a guy who worked with and glorified violent January 6 rioters (promoting the J6 Prison Choir) and who reposted a meme of himself using a chainsaw on Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, and other Trump foes. He also is unqualified. This is nuts.

We are deeply concerned about the current state of our country. As civil servants, we are doing everything in our power to resist, even if it costs us our jobs. We are proud to be Americans, but what is happening right now does not reflect the values we, as Americans, stand for!

So Trump is building the camps. Got it.

Trump, the felon president, is a self aggrandizing moron

BREAKING: Donald Trump's executive order that would allow him to replace public servants with unqualified loyalists is illegal. We’re suing on behalf of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, alongside Democracy Forward, to stop his plans from taking effect.

SCOOP: RFK Jr. secretly recorded his second wife during their bitter divorce fight and in one conversation acknowledged he was "polygamous" and blamed her for that. One recording might have violated state law—in a messy saga that ended with her suicide. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Trump has already arguably done enough stuff to be worthy of impeachment in the first 5 days of his second term. It's not worth trying, it won't succeed, but it's still crazy.

More bad news for the "vaccines are killing millions" crowd! Researchers in Norway conducted a study examining all-cause mortality between 2021-2023 from the population, over 4.6 million people. In all age groups, the rate of death was lowest among those who were fully vaccinated.

15 years after Citizens United, which transformed every corporate treasury in America into a potential political slush fund, we now see the result: government of billionaires, by oligarchs, for plutocrats.

HOW TO WRITE A HEADLINE

What I saw at the kleptocrats' revolution: While Trump's MAGA marks were getting soaked in a weekend of cancelled events and a $250M grift, the rise of American oligarchy was toasted on yachts by crypto dude bros and a president with a meme coin My column from DC www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Trump promises a “golden age.” But here’s what I don’t get: He had four years before as president. Did he deliver a “golden age”? He couldn’t even pull together a single infrastructure week or a healthcare plan. And he mismanaged a pandemic. Only a cult wouldn’t remember this.

Pardoning violent thugs who attacked the US Capitol and assaulted cops to subvert an American election is quite fascistic. No rule of law. No law and order. All that matters is following the Dear Leader, who incited violence with lies. This is a violation of his oath to protect the Constitution.

At first glance this spells "Smelania" The self-owns are breathtaking

Not seeing anything on NYT or Washington Post about Trump’s utterly scammy $25 billion (on paper) memecoin windfall The traditional media is so ill-equipped to cover the broken modern world
