MAGA folks are against wearing masks to protect their fellow citizens, but they LOVE slapping them on to conceal their identity.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Tom Homan can’t find enough illegal immigrants to deport because they fabricated the ‘crisis,’ so now he’s just gonna spend all his time attacking AOC.

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.

NEW: At least 6 senior FBI officials have been ordered to resign or be fired by Monday. They include those that oversee cyber, national security and criminal investigations. www.cnn.com/2025/01/30/p...

I missed this entirely: The FAA Administrator criticized Space X’s safety record and threatened fines. Musk demanded he resign. He did. On January 20th. www.thedailybeast.com/faa-chief-mi...

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.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Donald Trump is an enthusiastic supporter of American terrorists who use violence to achieve political ends. He is their friend. They are his priority. Tell people.

Um, speculation? No speculation needed. Elon Musk was using a Nazi salute. Hey NY Times, call it what it was. Don't wimp out on day one.

“Nearly 1,660 Afghans cleared by the U.S. government to resettle in the U.S., including family members of active duty U.S. military personnel, are having their flights canceled under President Donald Trump's order suspending U.S. refugee programs…” www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Trump and Vance accounts are being added automatically to Facebook user profiles. Users are getting content they didn't choose to follow. Worse, FB makes it difficult to unfollow. Ultimately have to block. Media needs to publicize this!

Oh, come on! At the inauguration? Are you f*cking ketamine with this?

The Jumbotrons were taken down. Because of the cold. Really.

"As an editorial cartoonist, my job is to hold powerful people and institutions accountable. For the first time, my editor prevented me from doing that critical job. So I have decided to leave the [Washington] Post." anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

The Speaker saga: - Trump slams Mike Johnson for passing the CR to keep the government open - MAGA demands Johnson's head - Someone shows Trump a schoolhouse rock video on how he can't get certified without a Speaker - Trump flips and endorses Johnson - MAGA loves Mike again You're caught up.

The cult trashes Vivek & Elon for days on H-1Bs. Then Trump sides with E&V and the cult goes silent. The cult trashes Mike Johnson for weeks over the CR. Then Trump sides with Johnson and the cult goes silent. I guess they just believe what Trump tells them to believe.

So the world’s richest man, who grew up under apartheid in South Africa and now pulls the mentally deteriorating incoming U.S. president’s strings, has written an op-ed urging Germans to elect a neo-Nazi government. Got that?

Millionaires and billionaires would be perfectly FINE not getting salary for 33 days, or even 333 days. The average American, folks like you and me working paycheck to paycheck, would not. Do NOT let billionaires make decisions for US. PASS IT ON.

Hakeem Jeffries weighs in on the Elon-Trump plan to shutdown the government

Hegseth loves disgraced service members and war criminals. He’s literally being escorted by a disgraced ex-Green Beret who was court martialed for beating the crap out of a training role player. Hegseth cannot lead the military. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/16/u...

As you process the devastating news that another tragic shooting took the lives of at least 3 innocent people in Wisconsin, remember the shooter didn't act alone. He was assisted by 222 House members, 49 Senators, and the NRA.

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

ALL JOURNALISTS: As my firm has done since Pres Clinton's Admin, we are willing to consider requests for pro bono legal representation, incl litigation, in #FOIA matters pertaining to 2nd Trump Administration. Please contact me at [email protected] if you wish to discuss. @bradmossesq.bsky.social

We're fixin' to get bitch-slapped in the tariff war.

I’m going to start writing Boiling Frog Skeets: BFS #1: It is not normal for a President to fire an FBI Director who hasn’t done anything wrong #BoilingFrogSkeets

So Trump's Justice Department spied on members of Congress, congressional aides (including Kash Patel!), and assorted journalists while looking for leaks. Looks like they were part of the Deep State! Let's have a special counsel & full investigation, right? www.cnn.com/2024/12/10/p...

Section 1, of the 14th Amendment:

So, the very same Republicans who said they blocked the release of the House ethics report on Matt Gaetz because he is no longer an elected official, are vowing to further investigate Hunter Biden, who is not now, and has never been, an elected official? Do I have that about right?

People not elected to government should not have the power to reshape the government, especially people whose obscene wealth depends on the government functioning a certain way. This is not a hot take. It's just plain common sense.

Has anyone else noticed that those who posted and hammered on that the election was rigged are now the ones telling others to stfu and get over it, the election is over. The hypocrisy is sickening.

Ah, the faces of cowardice.

Did you know that Elon and Trump want to start using the same AI claim denial process used by United Health at the Department of Veterans Affairs? Just thought you might want to know.

I understand Donald Trump for what he is a buffoon. Donald Trump wants you to be scared. Rather than being scared, I am proud to be a happy warrior for democracy. We all need to have the courage to not back down. Do not obey!

Has anyone actually read the complete list of people Trump already pardoned & their crimes? I have. Every damn one of them. GTFOH w/your both sideisms & false moral equivalencies. People are sick of that old BS. I’m so tired of our hand-wringing weakness & refuse to participate.

I can totally get behind this.

This is VERY telling.

Canada's top military commander Jennie Carignan calls out the GOP for questioning women in combat: After 39 years as a combat arms officer and risking my life in many operations, I can’t believe that in 2024, we still have to justify women's contribution to defense and service in their country...

Trump will not deport migrants working for the companies of his friends and donors, and he will grant tariff exemptions for the companies of his friends and donors. Watch.
