This is what the incoming president is doing. Taking some misguided victory lap as LA burns. Has he uttered a single well wish for the millions of people in this city or is that only reserved for those who display sufficient fealty?

Sounds fair to me!

More than almost anything else, I will miss having a President who is capable of compassion, decency and empathy in times of crisis.

I wish I lived in a country where Mitch McConnell, John Kelly, Bill Barr and John Bolton had at least half the balls of E. Jean Carroll, Stormy Daniels, Christine Blasey Ford, or Anita Hill.

Putin’s puppet 🦋

We can't memory hole the Election Day bomb threats Healthy democracies don't normalize this stuff.

"Given Trump’s history of soliciting election interference and the ties between Trump and Russia in 2016, there certainly should be an investigation of whether Trump’s campaign knew about the bomb threats beforehand, or was involved in coordinating them."

"Trump has pressed for new voting requirements. Republicans in Congress will try to make that happen" #ELB AP: Republicans plan to move quickly in their effort to overhaul the nation’s voting procedures, seeing an opportunity with control of the White House and both chambers of Congress to push through lon...

This, right here, is the final stand.

Republican schemes for changing American elections have nothing to do with election security, voter fraud or the accuracy of our elections.

They are a naked power grab by American fascists who want the United States to never again have free and fair elections.

The press is ignoring the real Liz Cheney scandal It's not about her at all.

New in PN: The press is ignoring the real Liz Cheney scandal

"These stories don't communicate the fact that Cheney didn’t commit an actual crime and this is all meritless. The Times plays up Trump’s strongman image, as if he’s the buff antagonist in a movie. This gives Trump exactly what he wants."

This is it in a nut shell 🦋

The press is ignoring the real Liz Cheney scandal It's not about her at all.

"The Times piece reads, 'For years, Trump has made it known that people he believes to be his enemies should be prosecuted.' It’s like reading from an alternate reality. Jailing dissenters is not a policy position. It’s a hallmark of an authoritarian regime." -- @playtyperguy.com

Happy Christmas to all who celebrate.

If only we could all live as Jesus lived, by the principles on which he based his glorious and inspiring life.

The House Ethics Committee report just alleged that Gaetz paid a 17-year-old girl, a minor, to engage in sexual activity with him. But sure, Hammer of Justice. Got it.

The only thing worse about the House Ethics committee report saying Matt Gaetz paid an underage girl for sex is the realization that so many other Republicans were ready to hide that shit.

So. Fucking. Gross.

What?! Nazi Elmo is a racist piece of shit? I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you!

Elon Musk Is a Paid Subscriber to Shockingly Racist Pro-Apartheid South African X Account Elon Musk, the richest man in the world and advisor to President-elect Donald Trump, is a paid subscriber to a virulently racist X account.

“Elon Musk, the richest man in the world and advisor to President-elect Donald Trump, is a paid subscriber to a virulently racist X account.”

And I am sure—so sure!—that federal law enforcement is making absolutely certain (so certain!) that not a dime of this money is passing through Kushner to Trump (as has been alleged in the past with respect to certain suspicious “loans” Kushner got while Trump was POTUS and Jared was advising him).

Here’s how CNN is covering Donald Trump’s threats against our allies:

Our fight is for the people.

Not the privileged few.

Big difference between us and them.

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor.

Party of Family Values, am I right?

An ex-Washington police officer is convicted of lying about leaks to the Proud Boys leader | CNN Politics A retired police officer in the nation’s capital was convicted Monday of lying to authorities about leaking confidential information to the leader of the Proud Boys extremist group.

The core far-right conspiracy theory about January 6 has for years been that law enforcement set the Proud Boys up. What do you know? It was exactly the opposite. Law enforcement was in fact trying to help them. As ever, take whatever the far right is saying, reverse it, and you have actual reality.

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.

The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

He's doing it so he can make Putins invasion of Ukraine look good.

He's so deeply deranged. And media must report on this new threat by Trump as deranged—even if it changes no minds—because it objectively is. There aren't two sides here.

Threatening Canada is deranged. Threatening Mexico is deranged. Threatening Panama is deranged. Threatening Denmark is deranged.

WHOA 😳! Someone is getting pissed off! 😡

I love it 🥰

Rep. Balint: "Who is it that we're negotiating with? It sure looks like we're negotiating with a boy billionaire who is playing at government. And why is he doing that? Because he's got $15 billion wrapped up in federal programs."

Pretty wild that Elon’s debut as president elect was to strip funding for pediatric cancer research from the spending bill, only to watch the Senate have to pass it as a standalone bill. His first move was to fuck over kids with cancer.

Rep. Balint: "This is such a loss for this incoming president. He has been weakened by Musk, because it's clear that Musk is the one who's calling the shots. He says what the gameplan should be, Trump catches up a few hours later, and then Johnson backtracks from the deal."

If a church doesn’t have a food pantry or a soup kitchen or a closet full of clothes and blankets open to the public or isn’t showing up at natural disasters to help, why does that church have a tax-exempt status?
