'God help us!' Ex-FBI terror expert fears Trump's left 'no one home' if attack comes: A former high-ranking FBI official warned that President Donald Trump had left the U.S. wide open to a terrorist attack with his administration's latest move. The president's former personal defense lawyer Emil…

What to know about USAID, the federal agency Musk vowed to kill

He is going to say "pinky swear you will protect our border. And buy more booze and stuff from us. " They will say yes. Won't actually buy the stuff. And he will declare victory Trumpenomics

Absolutely brutal scroll on Fox.

Take it from former Republicans: Dems need to fight like Republicans. Grill Trump nominees hard. Tulsi Gabbard is a massive threat to our natl security. What question do YOU think the committee must ask Tulsi? Let us know, we're emailing the best questions to members directly.

There it is

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

BREAKING —CDC officially ordered by Trump White House to cease working with the WHO effective immediately. This is the first time in almost 77 years since WHO’s founding after World War 2. This is a very dark day, and puts us all at risk (except billionaires).

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right? it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC. i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

Trump is deporting the guy who mows your lawn but releasing the guy who bashed a police officer’s head in back to your community.

Trump's nominees are positioned for one purpose: protect Donald Trump... not America. Now is not the time to tune these dangerous picks out. Call your Senator today and tell them NO on Pete Hegseth and Pam Bondi 202-224-3121

Trump just withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization. The US is now the only country in the world besides Liechtenstein to not be a member of the organization.

No one “accidentally” Nazi salutes. Not once. Sure as shit not twice.

Don't EVER tell me you "back the blue" again, you seditious felon. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Heartless. Cruel.

Trump just rescinded an Executive Order issued by President Biden to lower prescription drug costs for people in Medicare and Medicaid.

Brave yourselves for more of the like.

Donald Trump said that his Presidency would be used to help working people. Instead, his first order of business was to pardon convicted felons who tried to overthrow democracy. These are not the priorities of the American people. #J6Pardons

My statement on the Special Counsel’s final report:

Special Counsel report: The incoming president of the United States would have been convicted of violent crimes against the Constitution if his case had been brought in a timelier manner.

ATTN: THREAD: The loyalty interviews have begun in DC. As someone who has direct experience with this, I have a couple of recommendations for all federal workers. Please share this widely, and with any federal government employee you know. 1/

So true.

This is apparently the closest the New York Times can get to saying what is really happening -- Republicans are trying to steal an election for state Supreme Court justice by throwing out 60,000 lawful votes.

The Supreme Court said Friday it will review the constitutionality of a provision of the Affordable Care Act that requires health plans to provide no-cost preventive care, including cancer screenings, immunizations and contraception, to millions of Americans.

My team deciphered the Mark Meadows’s text messages surrounding January 6th. We found the Ginny Thomas texts. We created the “Monster” call analysis from over 30M data lines. We found the links. Accountability didn’t happen. The people spoke. Around 80M voters didn’t care about J6. I care.

Congress should ask Pam Bondi during her confirmation hearings why she failed to bring statutory rape charges against Matt Gaetz.

People are starting to call him Vice President Donald Trump. This will not sit well with him, and I therefore encourage everyone to do the same.

A publicly funded USPS gets your letter delivered. A privatized USPS gets your data delivered directly to an ad agency.

Ditto.

President-elect Donald Trump has expressed a keen interest in privatizing the U.S. Postal Service, a move that could shake up consumer shipping and business supply chains and push hundreds of thousands of federal workers out of the government.

I really don't understand how Time could make Donald Trump the man of the year. What exactly did Donald Trump do to deserve this other than insult Veterans, Auto workers, Black Journalists, and literally everyone?

White men make up 30 percent of America White men make up 100 of GOP leadership

Easily the best description of him I’ve ever read.

Love This. Precisely captures my mood and sentiments. Thank You @johnpavlovitz.bsky.social

Virtually every question today at the WH Press briefing was about the Hunter pardon, as if that is the thing the American people care about most right now. The DC press is so disconnected from the American public and serves them poorly more often than not.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who has paid into Social Security their entire adult life and is determined to make sure Republicans keep their filthy fucking hands off of our benefits. Same goes for our Medicare and the Affordable Care Act. HANDS. OFF.

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa. I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

If Garland doesn’t publish the report, there’d be no reason for Smith to quit before he’s fired. Smith should also sit for the Senate Judiciary Committee immediately after he closes the cases (if that’s what he decides to do.)

Lots of beach walks led to pockets full of pretty stones. I spent Saturday with a tile saw shaping them into hearts to leave on the beach for others. Creating a bit of magic and mystery in the world.
