Utah Adds Protections for Children of Influencers After Conviction of YouTuber Ruby Franke https://twp.ai/1VEtR8

The costs of federal staffing cuts are piling up: Canceled programs for veterans. Reduced services at parks. Fewer advocates for disabled schoolchildren.

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

Meiselas: That’s our message to you from the MeidasTouch Network: Grow a spine. Vote against cloture. Vote against the CR. The American people are with you. Stop this hostile government takeover. Fight for the people.

holy shit this question at the Rep. Chuck Edwards town hall 🔥🔥🔥

Wow. Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC. “I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!” Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out. We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

The only immigrant trying to destroy the country.

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

I’ve read a lot of nonsense political novels, but I don’t think any of them imagined the afrikaner broederbond taking over the US Treasury.

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

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

I dont know about yall but I still haven't recovered from 2020 and I can't believe we have to do this shit again lol

This is dumb. Did Trump's pardon of Charles Kushner include anyone else? Did his pardons of Roger Stone & Paul Manafort apply to his former lawyer Michael Cohen? Pardons apply only to the individual they are meant for &, in a properly functioning system, each is considered on its merits.

That's the energy half this country needs to manifest but won't due to civility.

Greg Abbott of Texas pardoned a murderer who was convicted by a jury. MAGA celebrated it. Trump is a criminal who will never spend a day in jail. He incited a violent insurrection and will pardon all these traitors. Democrats need to stop caring about bad faith MAGA attacks.

If you are beginning a social media post with "Elon Musk is right" as Musk is literally part of the incoming administration and randomly threatening to prosecute Americans for opposing Trump, then you would be better off saying nothing at all. Yes, I'm talking about Bernie Sanders.

Shoppers spent a record breaking $10.8 Billion on Black Friday online shopping. Seems like egg prices, grocery prices and gas prices aren’t too bad after all. Thanks President Biden.

The lack of self-awareness is almost impressive.

I have to say, I am genuinely happy for Hunter Biden. The GOP wasted millions investigating Hunter because they wanted to make an example out of him to get brownie points with their voters and to try and hurt Joe’s reelection chances. An absolute misuse of taxpayer dollars and time.

@ericholder.bsky.social is right on his point that "Joe Smith" would not have been charged. Someone who did not use the gun to commit a separate crime, and who paid the owed taxes, would never have been charged. I reviewed cases like this for charges when I was an AUSA. We would have declined.

Oh look at this. MAGA doesn't care at all. Moving on. www.npr.org/2022/12/06/1...

Nate Silver is saying he won’t vote for any Democrat who doesn’t denounce the Hunter Biden pardon. Nate Silver has only tweeted about pardons once before, to defend Donald Trump’s pardon of racist sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Trump pardoned Jared Kushner's dad while Jared worked in the White House, then yesterday appointed Jared's dad as an ambassador, but Polis didn't have the same energy for that. Pathetic stuff that I for one won't soon forget.

"Nothing would say women are 2d class citizens like confirming Gaetz to be the nation’s top cop. If Trump & the Senate forge ahead, no one should pretend that isn’t the message.” Proud to write this with my friends @joycewhitevance.bsky.social & @dahlialithwick.bsky.social slate.com/news-and-pol...

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?

Wagner: The irony here is that if there are any alleged or accused of sexual predators coming to town in January 2025, they may be two of trump's own cabinet picks.

Hi! There are so many new people here that I figured I should introduce myself. I'm an investigative reporter, author, and former White House correspondent. I cover Trump, the broader far right universe, and the inner workings of the Democratic Party. Those things seem pretty relevant right now!

This is in my top five favorite 2024 videos of the year. No idea what the other four are yet.

🚨BREAKING: Pennsylvania Court REJECTS David McCormick and GOP lawsuit to discard Philadelphia provisional ballots. This victory ensures that 966 voters will have their ballots counted. Congratulations to Team Casey who fought and won for these voters! www.democracydocket.com/cases/pennsy...

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc
