This is fucking awesome!

Thank you @agwilliamtong.bsky.social

Call them want they really are: HACKERS This "DOGE engineers" thing is bullshit! They are boy hackers! Plain and simple This is 2016 Cambridge Analytics bullshit on steroids

This is shameful, journalism malpractice

A total of zero votes were cast for the guy currently running America.

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

Trump Did That!

Hegseth as Secretary of Defense. FFS. This careless #Project2025 appointment is as dangerous to good order and discipline among our men and women in the armed services as it is to our national security. I am an unafraid veteran. I will #resist. And Mitch?…fuck you. 🖕🏽

An executive order cannot supersede a statute. Congress has found ByteDance a danger to national security and SCOTUS has upheld it. Trump’s job as of noon tomorrow is to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” That means enforcing the ban until ByteDance sells TikTok.

Fucking hypocrites and liars!

In 2017, Snoop Dogg asked who the first "Uncle Tom" performing at Donald Trump's inauguration was gonna be. Last night, Snoop performed at the Crypto Ball.

It was just as cold for Obama's inauguration in 2009, fyi.

They tried to impeach Joe Biden because his son had a job

Sun reportedly rises in the east days before Trump takes office.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin in his farewell address: "You know, I was taught at West Point to pray that I would 'choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong.' And I have tried every day as Secretary to live up to that teaching." It's a prayer for America right now.

If I was Matt, of all people, I would probably not muse about where kids are gonna be spending their time.

Betcha ten bucks the price of eggs will be going UP. ⬆️

In Burbank this morning, I met a couple who told me they still didn’t know if their house was still standing. We looked it up online and got the good news together. It was still there. If you don’t know the status of your home, you can find it here: recovery.lacounty.gov

This is brilliant!! 😂✊🏼

Trump hanging his supporters in DC out to dry in favor of an exclusive inauguration where only his inner circle and top donors can attend is the perfect metaphor for this administration and today’s GOP.

YESSSSS!

So Trump’s Deportation Czar Tom Homan says it’s impossible to dramatically increase deportations with the current funding levels for DHS, so he needs a lot more money from Congress before he can do it. Which is exactly what the bipartisan border bill Trump killed was all about.

DARCY: “Zuckerberg also spent a healthy amount of time characterizing Joe Biden as some sort of tyrant, while he conveniently ignored the fact that the guy he is sucking up to literally threatened to jail him.” @oliverdarcy.bsky.social $META www.status.news

I reported and blocked three blatant Russian trolls posing as angry American “former Democrats” blaming Ukraine for the fires or similar. They have deployed on Bluesky. Look for them with no profile pic, almost nothing but reply posts, and the same crappy Russian cartoons. Report, block, hide.

4 years ago today TFG was impeached for a second time. Today would be fitting to drop the report that impeaches him a third & final time.

Now that I’m retired and my elderly father is no longer with us, I don’t experience this very often, but I’m glad I know the name of it. If I can just remember it.

Muchas gracias, Mexico:

Led by a group called the BadAss Grandmas, North Dakotans voted to create an Ethics Commission six years ago. But the legislature has consistently limited the agency’s funds, the complaints it can investigate and its attempts to oversee lawmakers. w/ @northdakotamonitor.com propub.li/4fMLBBh

FAVORITE PROTEST SIGNS… did you like it? Give it a 💙and please RP😘😘

You know who you are

Why haven’t the democrats pursued this? 🤦‍♀️

Good morning! ☀️ Another call to action reminder. Literally, call your representatives: Capitol Switchboard 202-224-3121 The GOP will try to push through the SAVE Act this week. 👇🏽 How many of us have names in adulthood that match our birth certificates? Exactly. This is a BFD. Make the call. ☎️

Holy shit! I haven’t read or watched a lot of US news because I’m in the UK, but if the corporate media isn’t covering this, we’re fucked. open.substack.com/pub/deanobei...

Trump has said he will stage the largest mass deportation campaign in history. Meanwhile the shipbuilding industry, which he also says he supports, is struggling to overcome an acute worker shortage. Immigrants have been critical to filling the gaps. @nicolefoy.bsky.social propub.li/4fJNAGp

In a democracy, social platforms should belong to the people and NOT to one person that is rich enough to make his voice louder than ALL others.

You’re the US Marines band at the White House and Mavis Staples 👑 walks into the room so you start playing "I’ll Take You There" and this happens👇

The big story today is the Matt Gaetz report. The bigger story should be the incoming President, despite knowing what Gaetz is, because everyone in Congress knew, still wanted to make him the Attorney General of the United States. Never normalize his madness, his corruption. Even for a single day.

“In a healthy political system, pronouncements from an elderly president-elect that could upend 80 years of foreign policy would spark significant discussion from all quarters.”- @hcrichardson.bsky.social on Trump’s threats to take Greenland & Panama heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/december-2...

Since they vilify government all day every day, here’s a reminder of “50 ways government works for us”👇🏽🇺🇸 Government is not the enemy. It’s not about “Big Government”, it’s about good government. Elect people who believe in it, not the ones who seek to destroy it.
