Elon Musk IS a dick.

Whose the cuck now

Donald Trump’s press conference today was one of the most disgraceful moments in U.S. history, signaling a complete surrender to Vladimir Putin.

A quick resistance task: 1. Google Gulf of Mexico 2. “Gulf of America" is the top 3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it 4. Select "Send Feedback" 5. Click on "Gulf Of America" 6. Select "Inaccurate content" 7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"

🚨 An Iowa Democrat flipped a state senate seat held by the Republicans in a district that went for Trump by 21 points in November. Iowa Senator-elect Mike Zimmer! 🔥 LFG!! www.msnbc.com/the-last-wor...

We had a successful first stage in our @FBI lawsuit today to protect those patriotic employees who pursued the #ruleoflaw in prosecuting #January6th criminals. The fight continues for justice. www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-t...

'Veterans risked their lives to defend our country, and they deserve better than to have an unelected billionaire reviewing their medical records, targeting the benefits they have earned, or using their private information for personal gain.' www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

"Smiles? Hope? In the middle of this mess that’s going to hurt so many people, derail so many lives, and, if we fail, erase the country we know and very much want to keep? Yup." Take it all in. ICYMI @jilldlawrence.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/sanity-che...

He is a callous, soulless man.

Well it’s not like they just asked every air traffic controller to resign oh wait

BREAKING: The government is trying to cover up history and facts. Thanks to the Internet, we won’t let that happen. Please share the archive. krassencast.com/p/doj-remove...

Breaking on @MSNBC: 23 state attorneys general have filed a lawsuit seeking to block the federal aid freeze from taking effect. The lawsuit asks for a temporary restraining order, calling Trump's move "arbitrary and capricious."

I realized today that I am more powerful than Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. I can say Fuck You Donald Trump. They may be richer but I am more powerful. And that is a trade I would make every single day.

With Dhillon running the DOJ’s civil rights division, it’s a clear indicator that Trump plans to purge the department of career voting attorneys and use it to roll back voting rights, instead of enforcing them. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

FINALLY we are seeing some pushback from SOMEBODY! Lawyer up, Donnie

The names of the lawyers trying to take down the 14th amendment.

Apparently with all of their investigative reporting teams the Times and the Post can't figure out what the gesture is that Elon Musk made (twice). Now is the time for fearlessly independent, pro-democracy platforms. Now is the time for Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

A lesson from the TikTok Affair should be that bipartisan efforts to preserve U.S. national security are vulnerable to the incoming president getting bought off and switching sides for his own personal and political benefit. Not great!

Reup: Want to read the Jack Smith Volume Two Aileen Cannon is withholding? A lot of what would be in the report is here: www.emptywheel.net/2025/01/19/f...

TikTok has been taken over by the vast right wing media machine.

I feel like they had a meeting and decided “we have to be dumber.”

OMFG. The Washington Post sent out a subscriber survey. Anyone out there who is still a subsciber? You know what to do. They ASKED for it.

It shouldn't be difficult to commit to preserving the evidence from the Special Counsel’s January 6th investigation. And yet...

"Today on the House floor, Nancy Mace threatened to physically fight me when I called her out over her obsession with transgender people ... Whether it’s a school playground or the halls of Congress, a bully is a bully and must be held accountable. " Jasmine Crockett

Tim Kaine absolutely cooked this doofus omg

Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense does not know where South East Asia is

He is not qualified.

Mark Kelly is about as centrist and polite as you can get and would never attack a fellow veteran. Kelly literally said he couldn’t find a single quality in Hegseth that would permit him to run the military. Kelly’s words were a stunning indictment.

🔥🔥Senator Jack Reed, Army Veteran and Armed Services Ranking Member, HAMMERS Pete Hegseth: “Mr. Hegseth, I do not believe you are qualified to meet the overwhelming demands of this job.”

As rioters who had been chanting “Hang Mike Pence!” breached the Capitol on Jan. 6, the Secret Service was forced to evacuate the Vice President. An aide rushed to tell Trump, hoping he would take action to ensure Pence’s safety. Instead, Trump looked at him and said only, “So what?”

Good morning from 100 Centre Street in Manhattan, where the President-elect is set to be criminally sentenced on 34 felony convictions for falsification of business records. I’m here with @tylermcbrien.bsky.social and @katherinepomps.bsky.social for @lawfare.bsky.social. Follow along 👇 ⬇️🧵
