Wow! Councilwoman Traci Parks just painted the bleakest possible picture of the Pacific Palisades. “I don’t want to sugarcoat this, and I don’t want to make any false promises. The Palisades is a complete disaster zone. Everything is gone.”

As a result of one the slimmest electoral margins in our history, the madman who incited an attack on our Capitol after the last election gets to be sworn in after this one on the steps of the very building he wanted attacked, and he has the f’ng NERVE to cry about half-staff flags for Jimmy Carter?

🚨We promised our men and women in uniform: if you serve and get hurt, we will care of you. The incoming Trump administration has made clear they'll dishonor that promise. VoteVets MG(Ret.)Paul Eaton lays it out on The ReidOut: "It is not a bipartisan issue. It is a VERY partisan Republican issue."

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever. Make it go viral but make sure she benefits. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Everything stated in this post is a provable fact. You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own facts. Looking at YOU, 2020 election-deniers.

This has been their aim all along, and SCOTUS’s decision ending federal agency Chevron deference opened the door to this. Pay. Attention.

49% of people voting for Trump doesn’t mean he’s innocent. It means 49% of the people don’t care about the law.

I don’t know when or whether things will get better but I’m quite sure we’re in for a stretch of “worse” in the meantime.

THIS ISN’T GETTING ENOUGH ATTENTION: Trump and his cronies don’t want you to know this, but Illegal border crossings are at a 4-year low. The last time numbers were this low was July 2020—when Trump was president. Now he’s crying “open borders,” but he wasn’t back then. So, what changed?

In his opening speech, Speaker Mike Johnson just recited a long prayer attributed to Thomas Jefferson. As @jackjenkins.me and others have pointed out, Jefferson never said any of this: www.monticello.org/research-edu...

It's one thing to fetishize the founders -- an approach the founders themselves discouraged! -- but it's something else to fetishize the founders and insist they said things they actually never said. Really bizarre.

With the first Speakership vote looming, I think it’s important we forcefully condemn the misinformation that’s spreading out there. Jeff Sessions has not, in fact, Benjamin Buttoned into Mike Johnson. I know we haven’t seen Jeff in a while, but that doesn’t make it true! Do better people! 😂
