As Joe Biden’s term as the 46th U.S. President comes to a close, so does the most pro-Native administration in history. Today in The Big Picture, Amelia Christnot explores how Biden kept his promises to Indigenous Americans—setting records and reshaping representation along the way.

Another writer quits the Washington Post and with @normeisen.bsky.social starts their own thing. Co-founder @jenrubin.bsky.social calls it "journalism in defense of democracy." Pro tip: A journalism that does the thing relentlessly (defend democracy) while using the term — democracy! —sparingly.

This is so outrageously disrespectful "Trump ignores Jimmy Carter mourning period and returns flags to full height at Mar-a-Lago"

MAGAt James Woods lied when he said his house burnt down, he was vomitously trying to smear Gavin Newsom and firefighters. The corrupt corporate mainstream media knowingly amplified his lies and continue doing so after the fact. Woods & the MSM are trash!

Two of the smartest thinkers IMO

You have to admire the chutzpah of Ted Cruz attacking Karen Bass and Dems in LA right now. Ted Cruz wasn’t on an official trip out of town when Texas snow storms hit & shut down his state - he fled to Cancun AFTER the crisis began, to stay at the Ritz & have a nice time. 250+ people died in Texas

An American city is on fire and the world’s richest man has done nothing but lie and make it worse. Thank you to the people who are actually putting their lives on the line to save this country and fuck that spoiled rotten limp dick South African and any of the tough guys who live to kiss his ass.

My message to Zuck

Ding dong the Wicked Witch is dead!

The Bidens meet their great-grandson!

Donald Trump is a brat & a threat to Democracy. If all goes according to plan, he will be the 1st convicted felon ever to serve as President. I get no joy in this. I feel sorry for our country. We DESERVE so much better for our nation. BUT, we will get through this together, we can we shall we must.

Teachers. Firefighters. Cops. After 44 years of Reagan’s cuts to their Social Security, Joe Biden just restored their benefits. This win for working people came thanks to unions, President Biden, and bipartisan support led by former Rep. Abigail Spanberger.

Kash Patel is dangerous and should never ever be the FBI Director. Agreed? Send your letters to Senators via the link below right now! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

JUST IN: A New York judge has denied Donald Trump's request to postpone his Friday sentencing while he appeals.

A convicted felon is about to be the president. The guy who staged a coup on the U.S. government is about to become president. We need to keep saying it, because this can’t become our “normal.”

The solution for the media's current state is not to shuffle between one corporate outlet to another but rather to support independent media outlets who are not beholden to corporate overlords.

We must never stop telling the truth. This piece and others like it are essential to preserving freedom and democracy in America. Because once this gets whitewashed, it’s easier for them to do it again. “That day was an American calamity.” www.nytimes.com/2025/01/05/u...

Biden signs bill to boost social security payments for millions of public workers

Some happy news. Welcome to The Bulwark, @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social ! www.semafor.com/newsletter/0...

Well, Trump and his allies wouldn’t have been so successful at getting away with their outrageous lies about the 1/6 insurrection without a LOT of help for you, @nytimes.com. If only you and your cowardly corporate media counterparts had been this hard on Trump BEFORE the election.

Would have been nice if we had seen more of this before the election... Trump Sees the U.S. as a ‘Disaster.’ The Numbers Tell a Different Story. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/05/u...

Washington Post cartoonist resigns over paper’s refusal to publish cartoon critical of Jeff Bezos Pulitzer prize winner Ann Telnaes had drawn a cartoon of the paper’s owner kneeling before Donald Trump www.theguardian.com/media/2025/j...

In 1973, the New York Times bought the lie that Donald Trump graduated first in his class at Penn’s Wharton School. There’s still no correction on the online story, and it’s amazing how little NYT has learned since then about handling Trump’s dishonesty. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/1973/01/28/a...

"The Association of American Editorial Cartoonists issued a statement Saturday accusing the Post of 'political cowardice' and asking other cartoonists to post Telnaes’ sketch with the hashtag #StandWithAnn in a show of solidarity." apnews.com/article/wash...

If you voted for Trump, FUCK YOU and your UNHOLY GOD. You are ignorant as the day is long and we will continue to bring hypocrisy to your lap. Your children are watching. Good luck MOFO. You are going to need it! www.npr.org/2022/06/02/1...

I see Elon Musk is taking a break from wrecking our country to try to wreck other countries

When the New York Times reports on Rep. Ralph Norman's backroom deal to give Mike Johnson the speakership, will it mention that Norman urged the Trump White House to declare martial law in January 2021 to keep Biden from taking office? Or will it continue its coup amnesia and normalize Norman? 1/2🧵

House Democrats cheer and give Hakeem Jeffries a standing ovation when he votes for himself for Speaker of the House. 💕

House Democrats are ready, willing and able to make life better for everyday Americans. And so it begins.

President Biden's judicial picks have included the first Black woman to the U.S. Supreme Court, women of color to federal appeals courts and openly LGBTQ judges to serve on the federal bench.

All Democrats voted for Hakeem Jeffries to be speaker. There were zero Democratic defections.

This Speaker vote should remind all of us that literally nothing Republicans try to do will be easy, or a foregone conclusion. And often, they are going to have to come to Democrats to enact anything at all. We have lost power but we are not powerless.

Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are no longer in the Senate. But the damage they've done to our political system on behalf of Big Money will linger for years. Memo to Democrats: you can't win back working-class voters by following corporate cronies like Manchinema.

Rudy Giuliani in a contempt hearing in Moss-Freeman case (they are seeking to collect on the $100+ M award against Giuliani) confronted with (among other things) his spending $99 for pizza. Judge comments that is one pricey pizza.

It’s wrong to allow someone like this to be in charge of our country, and decisions that impact all our lives! If people would have simply done their jobs to hold him accountable he wouldn’t be! It’s wrong, and now we are all going to pay the price!

Another message for elected democrats: Don’t help traitor trash republicans elect a speaker today. Just don’t! WE DON’T NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS.

"democrats passed the civil rights act and social security so dont criticize current leadership" is the blue maga version of "lincoln was a republican"
