CNN reports that the January 6 criminals have been told they are invited to attend inaugural balls tonight. They are going to be released from the D.C. jail momentarily. All are insurrectionists. We are not a democracy anymore, folks. We do not have rule of law.

If you Google "inauguration day," you're greeted with an animation of fireworks forming the shape of the American flag. Google has never done something like this for the inauguration, sources told me, out of fear of appearing partisan. But that's changed now, with Sergey and Sundar attending.

WOW. Allies of GOP Rep. Mike Turner, who was removed by Mike Johnson as chair of the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox News that Turner is furious and he’s “never going to vote for another blanking thing around here again.” Turner has missed all House votes in the last 48 hours.

Hargraves: If you want to talk about maintaining standards, the fiercest advocates for maintaining standards are women in combat roles. Standards aren’t being lowered because of women. They’re being lowered because kids are unhealthy.. It has nothing to do with women, but somehow, they get blamed.

The head of household status they want to remove was designed to benefit single parents who have the primary responsibility of caring for a dependent, allowing them to be charged lower rates on income. They are punishing single parents so Elon can have tax cuts. newrepublic.com/post/190412/...

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be. You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion. Which is more powerful?

Just in time for his presidency, Elon has changed his online avatar to a white-supremacist hate symbol, his screen name to a 4chan slogan neo-Nazis favor (“kek”), and his bio icon to two swords. This is your POTUS. Are these also gamer symbols? Yes. Does he know they’re far more? You bet your ass.
