Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

We are nearing a precipice.

NEW: Elon Musk and his team have posted classified data on DOGE's new website www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m...

According to this POS I'm a parasite for being on Medicare and Social Security...

NEW VIDEO: I have never seen as many federal judges angry with the federal government as there are right now. And one judge in Rhode Island seems poised to find someone in criminal contempt. Paige and I discuss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVzF...

GOOD NEWS FOR DEMOCRACY: Federal judges are furious with members of the Trump administration. Numerous members of this administration are dangerously close to being found in CRIMINAL CONTEMPT OF COURT. Trump may be immune from prosecution, but not the defiant cabinet secretaries, lawyers,…

New @motherjones.com: This morning, Trump outlined his plan to hand power to Christian nationalists, which includes creating a "Faith Office" in the White House One of my (many) unanswered questions: Does DOGE think these are good uses of taxpayer funds? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Propaganda has a purpose. They want us to give up. They want us to throw our hands up and surrender before offering a fight. What’s better than fighting a battle to win? Not fighting at all because your enemy surrenders. Let's not fall for it now. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

RESIST. Don't quit. Don't stop fighting. Don't obey in advance. Don't stop calling them out. Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can. Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone. Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight. RESIST.

So the first-ever convicted felon president just pardoned 1500 of his felon co-conspirators, after we kept saying over and over that maybe it wasn't a good idea to elect a felon as president and that maybe we should imprison the felon when we had the chance? Got it.

Just as he LIED about upholding MLK’s dream

THESE are the people that Donald Trump just pardoned. Meanwhile, one of Joe Biden's final act was to grant a preemptive pardon to the POLICE OFFICERS that dared to testify to Congress. #J6Pardons

As he swore the oat of office, Trump did not place his hand on the Bible.
