Love the insinuation that Jon Husted, career politician who has a textbook case of CTE where his brain is supposed to be, lives in the real world why Americans in poverty do not.

He’s the sole reason we have this monster back in power. McConnell deserves no credit for doing the right thing when it least matters.

Back the Blue, or not.
The depravity takes my breath away

Man-baby with his tiny little hands taking pettiness to new heights.

Just now…

Less than 2 years ago. Trump bragging that he tried to ban TikTok 3 years before but Democrats stopped him.

This is literally China trying to make Trump look good because they know his stupid presidency will weaken the USA.

In the scheme of things, this is bad!

Speaker Johnson just fired Rep. Mike Turner as House Intel Chair, despite claiming he “admires” him and praising his leadership.

The real reason? Turner refused to bend the knee to Trump—we can bet his replacement will be a hardliner.

Jeff Bezos' Editorial Board Calls Trump's AG Pick, Who Lobbied for Amazon, 'Qualified' The Washington Post's editorial board gave a thumbs up for Trump's attorney general pick Pam Bondi, who previously lobbied for Amazon.

Jeff Bezos' Washington Post editorial board has endorsed Pam Bondi as a "qualified" and "serious" pick for Attorney General.

Nowhere in the endorsement did they mention that she's a former Amazon lobbyist.

Billionaire control of our media is a threat to democracy.

Context: the Governor of Texas is dishonoring a son of the South so he can honor a yankee felon.

The Movement to Redirect Billions of Taxpayer Dollars to Private Religious Schools Private letters reveal the strategy behind the decadeslong quest — successful in 12 states and counting — by politicians, church officials and activists to make taxpayer-funded school vouchers availab...

Dynamite reporting from @propublica.org; they obtained never-before-seen correspondence showing the drive to insinuate vouchers in schools going back decades.

Also worth noting Voinovich was fabulously corrupt even by Ohio’s standards and is in Hell.

The folks at Fox News are so close to figuring out why parts of California are experiencing unprecedented wildfires. They won't use the words 'climate change' but they are right on the edge.

Validates me canceling my wapo and amazon accounts I’ve had since 1999. It’s not that hard folks - if you’re on the fence. just do it.

There are people who worked at Facebook who completely understand what a pathetic and self interested con Mark is trying to pull here. At the very least he remains breathtakingly superficial in his understanding of free speech and at the worst just as willfully ignorant about how dangerous he is.

Listen to Victor Newman….er, Eric Braeden. Over the years his voice in this subject has been on point. If you’ve ever heard him describe immigrating to this country and his feelings on the boat when he first saw the Statue of Liberty…He knows what fascism is.

Also, praying for his health.

President Jimmy Carter’s memorial service was today at the National Cathedral near where I live in DC. This seems like an apt quote when I think about his amazing legacy. We should all live our lives like this.

Governor @GavinNewsom on Trump grossly politicizing the fires: “I know what I want to say. I won’t.”

Get used to this playbook again, America

1) Trump says something outrageous/stupid/dangerous

2) Dems say, "Geez that thing Trump said was outrageous/stupid/dangerous"

3) Fox News hits Dems for "melting down" while minimizing the outrageous/stupid/dangerous thing Trump said

More than 600 people have been charged with ASSAULTING or RESISTING police officers at Capitol on Jan 6, 2021

(this is a potentially key piece of data, amid claims that the rioters were all/largely “peaceful”)

Btw Herb Block is spinning in his grave right now, along with Katharine Graham, Ben Bradlee and Meg Greenfield and Mary McGrory. I knew all of them back in the day and they all had guts and, yes, swagger that is long gone.

And yet the NYT and the DC punditocracy will never forgive Biden for facing up to this reality and finally getting us the hell out of there

As @davidheath.bsky.social points out — the doc Trump/Andreessen took this chart from to praise tariffs is a White House report on how tariffs “increase inflation, benefit the wealthy, harm low and middle income Americans” 👇🏽🤔💰 🇺🇸

This is why you do not put an utterly unqualified crackpot like Kash Patel in charge of FBI

Corporate media has to ensure that the access door stays open.

I keep seeing these headlines like “Trump Threatens to Expand the US” or “Trump Threatens Territorial Extension”

Dear Media: it’s called “imperialism”. Trump is threatening to wage war and imperialize.

Opinion | Why Are So Many Christians So Cruel? (Gift Article) It’s a simple question with a complicated answer.

Biden commutes most federal death row sentences to life in prison before Trump takes office | CNN Politics President Joe Biden announced Monday that he is taking 37 people off federal death row to serve out life sentences behind bars — a decision that leaves only three federal prisoners awaiting execution ...

Biden commutes most federal death row sentences to life in prison before Trump takes office.

It’s a big club and we aren’t in it

This Kash Patel interview shared by Musk is absolutely insane! It is NOT FBI “government gangsters” blocking Metro Nashville PD from releasing the shooter’s writings! It is a lawsuit filed by the Covenant families! (And it’s NOT a Catholic school, btw.) Patel has no clue!
