Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

Republican Congressman Bacon on Trump’s “peace plan”

"I'm a big fan of USAID. Many senior military officials are. Anyone who actually knows what that agency does, or who has seen or benefited from what they do, likely feels the same way." @markhertling.bsky.social on how USAID reinforces our military efforts: www.thebulwark.com/p/how-usaid-...

An Italian lawmaker has filed a legal complaint for hunting without a license against Donald Trump Jr. and his hunting party after video emerged showing him surrounded by dead birds that he and his group allegedly shot in a protected conservation area of the Venice lagoon.

Even more true now than a few days ago. Read this:

Canadians booing the U.S. national anthem isn’t something I ever thought I’d see, but this is what happens when you let a psychopath criminal with isolationist and protectionist policies back into the White House.

There’s no bottom. Less than two hours after the plane crash in Philadelphia—and just 48 hours after the deadly midair collision in D.C.—the Grifter-in-Chief took to Truth Social to pump his shitcoin scam. Absolutely disgusting.

Ronald Reagan: “Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies; they are our allies. We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends—weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.”

Purges are highly unusual. The attempt to obstruct the peaceful transfer of power was highly unusual. The mass pardons of hundreds of violent supporters of the president? Highly unusual. But not for an authoritarian. @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and Ben Parker:

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

From last week

Remember when JD Vance said just last week that any January 6 rioters who committed violence won't be pardoned? Well, today, Trump pardoned hundreds of rioters who assaulted police officers and committed other violent crimes. Despicable liar

I dedicated years of my life to reporting on January 6 and exposing what happened. I was there that day, co-wrote a book, and published a series of major stories on my own, for Rolling Stone, and for TPM. I hope it mattered. I hope history will remember and understand what happened.

It's a cult

Tech-bro billionaires getting front-row seats at the Trump inauguration while ordinary Americans cannot participate (with the excuse that it’s due to the weather) is a metaphor for what’s to come in the next four years.

Just a little reminder of what happened on January 6, 2021

I’ve seen many tweets like this today from Trump supporters who spent thousands of dollars to attend the inauguration. Some are already in DC Trump’s inaugural committee raked in over $250 million. He could easily reimburse them—but we all know he won’t. He doesn’t gives a shit about his supporters

Trump is expected to grant clemency to over 1,000 people convicted in connection with the January 6 attack, as well as to hundreds more with pending cases, Bloomberg reports. Law & order my a$$

We can all agree, no matter our politics, that chef José Andrés deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his amazing work with World Central Kitchen in disaster-stricken areas across the U.S. and the world.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

President-elect Elon Musk feeling real good about killing the bipartisan funding bill to keep the Federal government from shutting down. Vice President Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson happy for his success. Such a strong beginning for the incoming Musk administration.

JUST IN: Alexander Smirnov, a former FBI informant pleaded guilty on Monday to lying about a phony bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden and his son Hunter that became central to the Republican impeachment inquiry in Congress. -AP
