First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

“When the president does it, that means it’s not illegal” — Richard Nixon, 1977 “He who saves his country does not violate any law” — Donald Trump, 2025

AUSA Hagan Scotten, former clerk for John Roberts, really put some mustard on his resignation letter.

McGovern: He wants to invade Greenland and take over Panama. He wants to annex Canada and now wants to occupy Gaza. We have 42 million people in this country who are hungry. Whatever happened to America first? Whatever happened to lowering prices? Instead we get this.

ADL: Anyone wearing a keffiyeh and waving a Palestinian flag supports Hamas and is a potential anti-semitic terrorist funded by Iran. Also ADL: Elon Musk isn't doing a Nazi salute. He just made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm. Calm down, people. Nobody's perfect!

So, Republicans just released a bunch of violent criminal convicts, right? Trump Pardons Jan. 6 Rioters and Signs Order on TikTok www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

The president is currently talking about the 2016 election and Hillary Clinton.

Democrats say it wouldn't have mattered if former president Obama had been born in Kenya. So why are they mad that the current president was born in South Africa?

No women will lead a House committee for the first time in two decades after House Republicans revealed their list of committee leaders for the 119th Congress. No people of color were selected, either.

“I have made some mistakes” in recollections of that night, the woman, identified as Jane Doe in the lawsuit filed against Jay-Z and Diddy, told NBC News. The woman said she stands by her allegations overall. New from NBCNews: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Has Jill Stein said anything about Syria yet?

Old enough to remember when Michelle Obama tried doing this and got trashed by republicans for it….but now it’s cool because it’s their idea 🙄

We can all hate insurance companies without cheering the murder of someone or worse, trying to monetize content about that murder. Really gross day on the internet today.

the reason this is important is that Trump has sold his re-election as proof that he is a god-king above all consequence who can do anything he wants already losing two nominations proves that is not true, and the sooner we can puncture that narrative and brand him a hubristic failure the better

The post included a video of Pence calling the attack “a dark day in the history of the United States Capitol” as he presided over the certification of the results hours after the riot. Trump to this day criticizes Pence for certifying the results of the 2020 election, falsely claiming it was stolen

TRUMP: I’m going to use the FBI illegally to go after my political enemies! BIDEN: Um, I guess I’ll pardon my son then because fuck that. MEDIA: Biden is breaking norms!

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

Reminder that the woman accusing Pete Hegseth of assaulting her is a Republican, and the incident occurred at a Republican conference. She was there with her husband. Pretty difficult set of circumstances to dismiss as a witch hunt but seems like Republicans are going to try.

A lot of people think everything will work out if we just play by the rules but don’t seem to recognize that rules only matter when everyone agrees to follow them and, well, that isn’t our present reality.

NEWS The NYT has obtained an email that Pete Hegseth’s mom sent to her son in 2018. In the email, Penelope Hegseth refers to her son as “an abuser of women.” In an interview with the New York Times, Penelope Hegseth says she regrets sending the email to her son. Full Story: bit.ly/3ZbUs9h

House Republicans actually voted today to block the US Senate from receiving their report containing sworn witness testimony and documentary evidence about the nominee for Attorney General of the United States paying a child $10,000 for sex. That’s where we are at.

The New York Post editorial board on their meeting with RFK Jr: “When it came to that topic his views were a head-scratching spaghetti of what we can only call warped conspiracy theories, and not just on vaccines…In fact, we came out thinking he’s nuts on a lot of fronts.”
