H.R. 1161: To authorize the President to enter into ... ... negotiations to acquire Greenland and to rename Greenland as “Red, White, and Blueland - Sponsor: Earl “Buddy” Carter Representative for Georgia's 1st congressional district How does this time/effort help what you told Americans you’d do?

BREAKING: CFPB probationary employees just received a termination notice without the pertinent information filled out. Click to see all of it.

This says it all

This is a flat-out, clear-cut violation of the First Amendment.

Well done, Chappell! 👏

Richest guy in the world cutting American eduction spending

If any party, including the government, doesn’t like a court order, it can appeal it. It doesn’t get to just disregard it. Vance took an oath to uphold the Constitution, just like Sen. Cotton did. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad? We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

BREAKING: JD Vance Lays the Groundwork to Eliminate the Separation of Powers in America. I break it all down in a special, midday Substack and provide my legal perspective on this dangerous comment. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

80m as it stands now. Anyone interested in sports and integrated AI summaries, still goes there for scores and more in-depth summaries. The sooner @bsky.app adds those features, the more users twitter loses, lowering the number of users @bsky.app needs to supplant Twitter as the first app opened

The Constitution. The judicial branch. Separation of powers. Checks and balances. A nation of laws. The President of this country is not a king. Musk is an interloper. Please repeat.

**Excellent News** (I’ve honestly been holding my breath about this case. To think there was a chance that a rightwing judge might succeed in invalidating 60,000 votes was giving me the serious dreads.)

Trump’s economy…

I seriously don’t know this country anymore. Trump’s America: Where diplomacy gets evicted.

Listen up! Jamie Raskin is on 🔥🔥🔥 "We don't have a fourth branch of government called Elon Musk. And that's going to become real clear."

Trump is hoodwinking folks into thinking DEI is the safety risk, but he’s the one making us less safe! We don’t know exactly who’s to blame for the crash, but Trump & Musk set the stage for danger ahead. Trump knew it would look bad—he appointed an FAA Administrator hours AFTER the crash!

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

Miracle on the Hudson's Capt. Sully “not surprised” and “disgusted” by Trump’s attempt to blame DEI for the plane crash.

Food and labor costs are about to explode.

TODAY: A Virginia court will hold a hearing in a lawsuit challenging Gov. Glenn Youngkin's (R) voter purge program. Pro-voting groups assert that the program wrongfully removed eligible voters shortly before the elections.

Congrats to Judge Paul Friedman in DC for refusing to allow Trump’s DOJ to erase history.

NEW VIDEO: Pam Bondi is not yet in charge of the Justice Department, but 10 days into his second presidency, you can already see how the Trump administration is remaking the nation's top law enforcement agency from top to bottom. Paige and I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqFK...

So good 👇

Tulsi Gabbard visited Bashar Al Assad and publicly defended him. Kash Patel has an enemies list and will target them. Neither are qualified. Neither should be confirmed. It’s that simple.

In case you missed this pardon

Calm down everyone… it’s just bad optics 🤷‍♂️

Meta turns into 8Chan.

As I watch mostly blue collar workers spending much of their paychecks on lottery tickets in hopes of becoming economically successful despite statistical logic, it is in that same vane they voted for Trump who promised them wealth without any substance backing that promise.

Every day the rhyme of history seems clearer and clearer.

Russian state media told Russians that Ukrainians wanted to be annexed and would welcome their troops like liberators.

Trump in 2016: "“I will end forever the use of the H-1B as a cheap labor program, and institute an absolute requirement to hire American workers first for every visa and immigration program. No exceptions.”" Now with Bezos (Amazon=largest H1B user) & Musk in his ear, Trump says "“I’ve always ....

The levels of brazen ignorance are really off the charts with this lot.

Another update for the people at the old place. Just want to make sure they’re up to date.

Rudy Giuliani in a contempt hearing in Moss-Freeman case (they are seeking to collect on the $100+ M award against Giuliani) confronted with (among other things) his spending $99 for pizza. Judge comments that is one pricey pizza.

If you need any more proof of the coordinated lies on the right, look no further—even AFTER they knew the New Orleans terrorist was an American-born citizen, they kept pushing the lie that it all happened because of our “wide-open border.” FACT: Unlawful border crossings are at a 4-year low.

“Sparks speculation” after he previously wrote an op-ed supporting a neo-nazi political party in Germany? Our language is failing to meet the moment. Neo-Nazi and Putin asset has purchased control of US leadership. www.bbc.com/news/article...

“[2024] is expected to end with a nearly 16% drop in homicides …. “The three consecutive years of declining homicides come in the wake of a 30% jump in murders between 2019 and 2020, the largest single-year increase in more than a century.” abcnews.go.com/amp/US/unite...

The New Orleans New Year's terrorist was an American citizen born in Texas. So why does it feel like he was a woke Venezuelan-Iranian-Nigerian born in Guatemala?

1. Set aside a room in your home. 2. Starting tonight, toss a $1 bill into the room every time a news outlet says Trump “falsely suggested” something. 3. In January 2029, retire to the Amalfi Coast villa you’ll be able to retire to when you empty out that room.

Warning: Just as the FBI investigation into the deadly New Orleans terror attack begins, Donald Trump is preparing to pardon and unleash well over 1000 domestic terrorists who violently seized the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Trump persists in calling J6 domestic terrorists “patriots.” 1/2

You know how Fox News reported that the NOLA attacker crossed the border two days ago, only to walk it back and say the truck actually came across two months ago and it likely wasn't the suspect? Now it appears they've completely removed the reference altogether. www.foxnews.com/us/several-f...

Two days after the 12-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy—where 20 children and six educators were senselessly killed by a gunman with an AR-15—we are once again mourning lives taken by gun violence in a school. Why don’t Republicans in Congress think this is a problem?

The ABC News settlement makes zero sense from a legal standpoint. It assumes there is a moral or reputational difference between forcibly penetrating a woman’s vagina with fingers and doing so with a penis. It also assumes that Trump has a reputation that could suffer damage.
