Kash Patel is dangerous & unqualified to be the Director of the FBI. Use @@standupamerica.bsky.social’s tool and urge your senators to reject his confirmation: act.standupamerica.com/letters/lett...

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

So Target got real comfy thinking us millennial moms won’t take our basic girl bits to Costco & Aldi after they cut DEI programs to satisfy the new administration. Big mistake. Huge.

JUST IN: Judge MEHTA has barred Stewart Rhodes and other Oath Keepers whose sentences were *commuted* from going into Washinton or the U.S. Capitol without permission from the court.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

The worrying over the cost of eggs and gas should never be more than the cost of your civility and humanity…

It's extra annoying that the country is being run by several guys who couldn't make it through an interview for a regular job because they're too weird and don't know how to do anything

ICYMI: Trump's late-night purge of 17 independent Inspectors General who serve as watchdogs against government waste, fraud, and abuse just furthers his dismantling of any checks and balances system. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Looks like the first felon president will have an alcoholic sex offender in charge of the most powerful military in history. What could possibly go wrong?

"Governor Newsom encounters smooth criminal"

Wooooooooooboyyyyyyy! Senator Jeff Merkley on Pete Hegseth: "What experience does Mr. Hegseth bring? He ran two little micro nonprofits, and he ran them into the ground." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

IG purge on a Friday night. De-fanging the watchdogs: www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/u...

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified nominee for Secretary of Defense in modern history. He should be rejected by the Senate.

Mexico denied a US military plane from landing with deported immigrants today, foiling Donold’s plans.

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

THIS!!! MORE. OF. THIS. www.mlive.com/news/grand-r...

You can't say that Trump voters have egg on their face, since they can't afford it

A dangerous idiot and a drunk now have their fingers on the button. Good work, America. Pete Hegseth Is Confirmed as Defense Secretary By Slim Margin www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

This is a slap in the face to American women. Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations. Our troops deserve better.

"Trump’s blunt message after a whirlwind week of executive orders and presidential proclamations may boil down to this: Take me at my word." And journalism didn't. #BrokenTimes Here’s How President Trump Shifted Policy in His First Week www.nytimes.com/2025/01/25/u...

Hegspeth is confirmed. Now What? He has no idea how to manage the Pentagon. So he is going to be dependent on his direct reports. Most of which require confirmation. The Dems have to use whatever political skills they have to get qualified, rational people in these positions ? Suggestions ?

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

One "fired inspector general learned of his ouster by reading the email for the first time while on the phone with a Washington Post reporter who had called to ask about it" wapo.st/4azdaNb

Fuck Target. Fuck McDonalds. Moral America is having $1.50 hot dogs at Costco instead. Target Drops DEI Goals and Ends Program to Boost Black Suppliers www.wsj.com/business/ret...

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway. And those who warned America about it were right.

Tonight, I cover the new Anti-Trump lawsuits already filed including his illegal efforts to end birth right citizenship, Trump’s release from jail and pardons for the Jan6 violent criminals who attacked police, & more. LEAVE QUESTIONS FOR ME BELOW IN COMMENTS AND I WILL TRY TO ANSWER THEM LIVE.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Donald Trump, you’re a disgrace as a human being. While you may have gotten the presidency, you’re still a disgrace. You’re a convicted felon, a pervert, and you treat your allies with disdain while you kiss up to Putin. Anytime, anywhere, Donald—we will take you on.

Important paper by Dutch scholars brings data to show that the alleged epidemic of disinformation is not widespread or made by tech but is a specific tactic of far-right extremists exploiting the vulnerability of an open society. h/t @amonck.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....

HAPPENING NOW: I’m in the hearing room for the Senate Judiciary Committee, where Pam Bondi’s confirmation hearing for Attorney General of the United States has just kicked off. Follow along ⬇️ 👇 🧵

NEW: The head of Facebook Messenger has a non-binary child and last week assured employees that Meta would work to preserve queer voices. Hours days later the company deleted its trans and non-binary pride themes in Messenger www.platformer.news/meta-trump-p...

GOP members complaining about reduction of military standards while using a chart that misspells the word military!

It took them almost three years to file an open-and-shut case! But sure, why not

NEW: Meta has quietly dismantled the system that prevented misinformation from spreading in the United States. Machine-learning classifiers that once identified viral hoaxes and limited their reach have now been switched off, Platformer has learned www.platformer.news/meta-ends-mi...

See? It can be done. Do better, America.
