When the FBI searched Jan. 6 defendant Jeremy Brown's home, they discovered illegal grenades, a sawed-off shotgun and classified information he retained after leaving the army. Today, DOJ says Donald Trump's pardon for J6 issues covers all of that.

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops. More of this pointed ridicule, please.

The screens at the Department of Housing and Urban Development were playing this video this morning

Here’s what happened at the summit I spoke at in Washington, DC today. Tell me free speech isn’t under attack: youtu.be/Gnt4PNS7lJU

There's going to be news about a woman illegally detained and being forcely removed from a Coeur d'Alene Idaho Town Hall meeting taking place at the high school by men that would not identify themselves wearing plain clothes because she opposed the republican viewpoints. youtube.com/shorts/hhJdH...

PORTLAND: Tesla will be exhibiting vehicles at the Oregon International Auto Show, starting today and running through the end of the weekend. People use this event to survey the market for new vehicles ahead of purchasing, so it's an ideal place to interrupt potential new Tesla sales. #TeslaTakedown

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

“.. We now have an alliance between a Russian president who wants to destroy Europe and an American president who also wants to destroy Europe,” another European diplomat observed in recent days ... “The transatlantic alliance is over.” @politico.com www.politico.eu/article/dona...

Dark Pence is back.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

America is not gonna go down quietly. Former NFL punter arrested after protesting ‘MAGA’ Video:

There was one Roman Emperor that really reminds me of this administration. Caligula. He was erratic and cruel. He declared himself a living god, He punished anyone who criticized him, He lived a debauched lifestyle, and he drained the Roman treasury.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Now we know what the price of the prisoner release was yesterday. Didn't even take 24 hours for Trump to pay up.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

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...

Nobody voted for this guy to run the country.

The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.

way funnier than the conservatives who hated Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show are the conservatives who thought he was doing the ultimate patriotic ode to America

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

Who voted to give up on missing children?

NEW: As a Veteran signed up to receive email updates, I had the unfortunate experience of getting a message from Doug Collins last night. I have some thoughts in my latest. Warning: explicit language. www.muellershewrote.com/p/secva-doug...

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

There are some elements of this administration from which the country will never recover.

There is still beauty in this world

The Department of Government Efficiency does not exist. This is an illegal theft of our personal data enabled by a Congress which won't do it's job and a media that continues to put out misleading messages like this.

Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

All of your most sensitive data and our country’s checkbook are in the hands of an unelected billionaire. This is the most corrupt administration in history and it’s putting our economy & government in serious jeopardy. It’s time to speak out and fight back. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

An Elon Musk staffer misused the U.S. Marshals Service by falsely invoking their authority to intimidate. USAID security personnel were threatened with action by the federal Marshals Service.

This is a national emergency:

Ronald Reagan: “Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies; they are our allies. We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends—weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.”

Tommy Tuberville just suggested kids with ADHD get “the belt” instead of Ritalin. This is fine. We’re fine. Everything is fi…

Elon's endorsement of the German AfD party is further proof he's a goddamn nazi

Trump has no clue what he’s talking about

Search and rescue operation after the russian drone strike on an apartment building in Sumy is concluded. 9 people died 13 others got injured, including a child.

Do you wonder why you haven’t heard much about this massive TB outbreak recently? Cuz the CDC can’t hold any press conferences or issue public statements of any kind. abcnews.go.com/Health/kansa...

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

I guarantee you there are a TON of people on Medicaid who voted for trump because they never thought the leopard would eat THEIR faces. trump's federal funding freeze is fucking everyone except the rich, closing the Medicaid portal for MILLIONS of Americans. Don't blame US. We voted for Kamala.

NEW Senator Thom Tillis personally assured Danielle Hegseth that if she signed a sworn-statement about her former brother-in-law’s conduct that it would carry weight and could lead him, Murkowski, and Collins to vote NO on Pete Hegseth’s nomination. He then became the 50th century to vote YES.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

This is a slap in the face to American women. Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations. Our troops deserve better.
