Oh. www.newsweek.com/joe-rogan-de...

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

🤷🏼‍♂️

U.S.-funded Israeli military assaulting and threatening American journalists.

On pro-Trump website, many people expressed hopes for executions of Democrats, judges or law enforcement linked to the Jan. 6 cases. They called for jurists or police to be hanged, pummeled to death, ground up in wood chippers or thrown from helicopters. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Trump's Day One executive orders were a huge gift to to the Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Oil, and private prison companies who bankrolled his campaign. The big losers? Ordinary Americans desperate for lower costs.

So Republicans are pro drug dealing and murder now, too? The party of law and order!! Trump just pardoned this guy.

We keep hearing about masculinity from the Zuckerbergs of the world-- this woman has shown more courage in this 60-second clip than any of the tech billionaires have shown in recent memory as they grovel at Trump's feet.

The “free speech defenders,” ladies and gentlemen.

Donald Trump plans to pardon the terrorists who violently attacked our Capitol. Joe Biden pardoned the police officers they attacked and the lawmakers who investigated the attack. Any questions.

CARTOON OF THE DAY 🫤🇺🇸

🔥 MUST-WATCH: @profgalloway.com tells Morning_Joe greedy oligarchs are putting capitalism at risk — he says the 🇺🇸 middle class is “the greatest innovation in history” but the billionaire class is growing fastest, and rampant inequality risks revolution Full: www.instagram.com/share/_3tJFt...

Once again it’s worth noting about the white male party: “Notably, there are fewer women in the 119th Congress than in the previous one, and there will be no women chairing committees in the Republican-dominated House.” - @hcrichardson.bsky.social heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-2-...

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever. Make it go viral but make sure she benefits. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

“No transparency… no accountability…” — @propublica.org on a failing charter school re-opening as a private religious school: www.propublica.org/article/ariz... So find 10-12 kids for your “school” and make double what a teacher makes — And @GovBillLee says this won’t hurt public schools?🤔💰

This is so spot-on it’s scary.

A bill you haven’t heard of bc it passed fight-free: “Supporting America’s Children and Families Act infuses $75 million yearly into combatting child abuse & protecting kids in foster care.” Functional government doesn’t get clicks! www.wakeuptopolitics.com/p/r-and-r-a-...

Ann Coulter to Vivek Ramaswamy: “I agreed with many, many things you said…but I still would not have voted for you because you’re an Indian” (August)

Well would you look at that.

In case anyone was wondering why the tinkle tape traitor woke up with a Panamanian bug up his ass seemingly out of the clear blue sky… This is why: Because he’s being investigated for tax evasion in Panama. Who’s shocked? Is anyone? Anyone at all? t.co/I1pt4guQd4

Elon’s politics are disturbing.

Delta’s CEO says Trump has promised to roll back a rule requiring automatic refunds on canceled flights and another requiring airlines to disclose the full cost of a ticket up front

The richest man in the world who is about to shutdown our government tweeting support for a German neo-nazi party in the middle of the night

Hahahahaah. I love this system!

“Stop asking why schools don’t have bullet proof glass and metal detectors at all the doors. Ask why schools have to. That’s the question that needs to be asked.” - Police Chief in Madison, WI

"Chris Hayes broke down a plan by Republican legislators to transfer billions of dollars of taxpayer money to owners of Bitcoin in exchange for their holdings." www.mediaite.com/tv/this-is-a...

Just excellent. J. Michael Luttig, @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @drtedj.bsky.social join Judy Woodruff in a thoughtful discussion about America's future.

An excellent point!

Last week, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced a historic $1.8 BILLION settlement for 4.3 million people who were charged illegal fees or defrauded by credit repair companies. Remember this the next time a billionaire says they want to get rid of the CFPB.

The rules apply to everyone else, not his own family. 

Now seems like a good time to remind you that the Pentagon just failed its seventh consecutive annual audit.

In case you were wondering what you were missing on Twitter.

Today will be a good day for Donald Trump to withdraw the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence

Wild stuff going on in Texas right now. Amid an incredibly contentious Republican fight for Speaker of the House, the Texas GOP has passed a resolution vowing to censure anyone who doesn’t vote for party leaders’ preferred candidate — which will bar any censured lawmaker from running in primaries.

It isn't the format, it's the hosts. People are done with the tepid both-sides approach of legacy media. That is why independent media and YouTube are growing and legacy outlets are shrinking.

It is clear from his interview today that Trump is going to expect Bondi and Patel to investigate and prosecute his political opponents. Three questions: How will the media cover? What will pro-democracy leaders and orgs do? Most important: Who will stand up and who will obey?

ICYMI, Pete Hegseth attends a church that belongs to the CREC (Communion of Reformed Evangelicals Churches). CREC is the denomination co-founded by Idaho pastor Doug Wilson, a self-professed Christian Nationalist. Here are some Doug Wilson quotes. h/t @edwam.bsky.social 1/

“We’re all rapists here in the GOP” seems like a problematic message.

Wow, what a Brene Brown podcast double-pack with @hcrichardson.bsky.social ! It starts with a heart-warming love story before digging into the myths and narratives driving our current politics. Cowboy myth influencing our current society? Oh yes. brenebrown.com/podcast/demo...
