Doing great 👍

Elon Musk and Nancy Mace think they are going to scare me and silence me with a censure. They don’t want opposition as they raid the social safety net. Democrats need to fight harder, not retreat. I’m not backing down folks, I’m from Long Beach.

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

Words can’t describe how abhorrent it is that Trump pardoned the Jan 6th insurrectionists. There’s no level of outrage that can rise to the occasion. Future generations will look back in horror.

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

Trump’s halftime address at the College Championship disgusted me. He calls for a better society with no crimes, but he just pardoned 1500 violent criminals. I’m disappointed that ESPN broadcasted that bullshit. Law and order is not part of Trump’s agenda. What a POS.

Just saying.

DO NOT NORMALIZE THIS BEHAVIOR.

We ARE NOT the same.

It breaks my heart that our Dem leaders accepted trump's "win", without an investigation. A convicted felon who lied stole and cheated his entire life should never be trusted, yet here we are. Kamala did not lose. She was robbed.

Today, we thank President Biden and Vice President Harris for their leadership and relentless commitment to Veterans and Military Families. You fought for us, delivered real results, and honored our service with action. Your impact will not be forgotten.

RFK, Jr. claimed his anti-vax work was a labor of love that cost him friendships. He said he’d never made money from it. But now he admits he made (checks notes) $1.2 million from it. How do you “forget” about that much money?

Biden says farewell: "After 50 years of public service, I give you my word: I still believe in the idea for which this nation stands ... now it's your turn to stand guard. May you be the keeper of the flame. May you keep the faith. I love America. You love it too. God bless you all"

TRUTH: The massive fire that destroyed Altadena was not a “forest fire.” The fire had nothing to do with forest management or water policy. Three main reasons the fire exploded: 1. Drought-like conditions 2. Very low relative humidity 3. Santa Ana winds reaching 100 mph (Video by Stuart Palley)

“They can’t mock my inauguration crowd if I hide inside.”

We saw Trumps crimes. You saw Trumps crimes. You can tell yourself you didn’t until the end of your days, but it’ll never be true.

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

Imagine if corporate media spent as much time airing Jack Smith's truthful, accurate, and credible statements about Trump's crimes as corporate media spends airing Donald Trump's lies?

We cannot let a person who has a nematode in his brain, who was addicted to heroin for 14 years, and who drove his wife to take her own life, who has sexual assault allegations against him, and a fetish with dead animals – to make *any* kind of health decisions for *anyone*.

Wait, wait, WAIT — RFK Jr.’s lawyer has petitioned the government to revoke its approval of the polio vaccine?!?! Are you fucking kidding me?!?

When you hear 🟠 say drill baby drill… Know that the United States of America is already drilling more oil than any other country at any other time history.

BREAKING: Tim Walz's daughter Hope says that her "red flag" for dating a man is if he listens to Joe Rogan because it means he "probably isn’t a great person" and his "values" won't "align" with hers. This rule has "never failed" her and her friends. Like and share if you love this rule!

Rep. Jamie Raskin is trying to preempt any Trump effort to oust the watchdogs at federal agencies. Raskin sent letters to 32 inspectors general assuring them of his support. He also asked them to reach out if Trump makes any effort to interfere with or replace them. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Insulting isn't even a good enough word to describe this. open.substack.com/pub/harrydun...

MAGA: Make America Healthy Again… Also MAGA: But first, let’s kick 41 million people off their health insurance, gut Medicare and Medicaid… I guess to MAGA, irony is just something you do to get the wrinkles out of your clothes.

Oh it’s super clear now, Elon.

There’s no such thing as working productively with MAGA nihilists like Elon, Vivek and RFK, Jr. They want to bring down our Republic. Don’t normalize them by pointing out a few of their good ideas. You can’t play nice with the leopards. Let them into your house and they will eat your face.

Good. Should we make him a starter pack?

here's today's post: "Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter — and every Republican lost their shit" — sit your hypocritical asses down and shut the fuck up. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

Project 2025 wants to cut funding for school meals because families who can afford paying for food shouldn’t get free meals at school. Project 2025 also wants to increase school choice so families who can afford private school get public money to help pay for it. Make it make sense.

According to Nielsen, MSNBC has lost 53% of its audience during primetime since the week before the election. CNN lost 47%.

I've been seeing a lot of people on the left and right talking about the 2024 election as if it was a landslide. So I made this chart to put things in context. Trump's win was one of the smallest in modern history.

Donald Trump tapped retired Lt. General Keith Kellogg to be an Assistant to the President and Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia. Here Keith is saying that "it makes no sense to have a Palestinian state. It's not going to happen." How are all you Jill Stein voters feeling now? Clowns.

I'm not exaggerating: as a historian I consider it to be historical fact that this is one of the most shameful documents in the history of the United States. It's a concession by federal law enforcement that there's no means available to it to punish one of the biggest traitors in American history.
