True Story

I’m certain that republicans hate Americans. 💯

A horrible mid-air collision. 67 souls dead. And as bodies were just pulled from the water, as family members are being notified, Trump casts blame. He blames Biden & Obama. He blames brown & black air traffic controllers. He. Blames. Brown. And. Black. People. Shame on us for putting him in power.

Pete Buttigieg isn’t taking Trump’s shit today.

Out of the 52 presidential directives (excluding pardons and appointments) that Trump signed between Monday and Friday, "28 contained language resembling text published as part of Project 2025." (Washington Post) —From CNN’s Reliable Sources

Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow. We must recognize the resisters, the courageous who are fighting back.

This right here. Go Pete!!

The insurrectionists are not political prisoners, heroes, or martyrs. They assaulted law enforcement right before our eyes and put our democracy in peril. They deserve prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. www.npr.org/2025/01/21/n...

NEW—Trump WH has blocked all CDC science reports (eg MMWR) & suspended all CDC / FDA / NIH external communications of all HHS agencies until further notice... including all FDA & CDC Health Alert warnings & all social media. Public health be damned. Gift 🎁 link: wapo.st/4aqfN44

They tried to erase history. We loudly said "Hell no." They folded. We should say "Hell no" a lot more.

We need some Elon Musk whistleblowers. People who worked with him throughout 2024 and know the creepy, corrupt, possibly criminal stuff he did behind the scenes at Twitter—whether in working with the Trump campaign, reaching out to mega-donors, creating PACs and illegal lotteries, or anything else.

Breaking WaPo: Pete Hegseth paid a woman who accused him of sexual assault as part of a nondisclosure agreement, though he maintains their encounter was consensual. 
Hegseth's attorney says Hegseth was "visibly intoxicated" at the time of the incident. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Mr. "Free Speech" having a shit fit over free speech.

Can you blame her? https://buff.ly/3CnIhhN

The Trump "landslide" continues as Democrats seize the House of Representatives in blood-red Alaska. Chaz reports for State Navigate.

This is the New York Post talking, not the New York Times. 😳

So the House would release the Ethics report on Gaetz if he was still a Member, but since he’s been nominated to be the chief law enforcement officer for the US with control of every federal law enforcement agency, investigation, and case, they will hide the report. Makes sense.

The Guardian announced they have stopped posting on X, citing “disturbing content promoted or found on the platform, including far-right conspiracy theories and racism .. X is a toxic media platform and its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse.”

Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman is introducing a resolution to clarify that the 22nd Amendment — which sets presidential term limits — applies even if the terms are not consecutive.

If the new administration embraces proposals to cut the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's budget and its mission, the public health agency could look very different than it does today.
