Joe Manchin was to Senate Democrats as Victor Orbán was to the European Union. Good riddance to both of them.

This is a transcription of the essence of Melania's remarks about Epstein and Maxwell.

When Dems take over, we need: 1) a Nuremberg trial for the likes of Miller, Noem, Homan, Bovino et al.; 2) an updated HUAC (are/were you a member of The Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, insurrectionists, election deniers, fake electors, etc.

Anne Applebaum on Trump's betrayal of Europe "They’re bewildered we’ve allowed this to happen."

"The American media makes things that are abnormal seem normal. The European press doesn’t do that. So you’ll see when they report on Trump’s rambling Davos speech, they will say it made no sense. In the US press, you’ll just see excerpts and an attempt to sanitize it." — @anneapplebaum.bsky.social

ICE detainees from Maine being held under ‘inhumane’ conditions in Mass. facility, attorneys say An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson said the allegations of overcrowding and lack of access to lawyers are false.

This where I joined with hundreds of folks on Wednesday to protest (see comments). If you live in Eastern Massachusetts, this is happening in our own backyard.

“They’re basically torturing people into signing off on their own deportation.”

Trump's DOJ is still holding back 50% of the Epstein files, in violation of the law.

Just think.
Everything we've seen so far is from the "GOOD" HALF!

Imagine what we haven’t seen?!

Prayer Breakfast or Power Breakfast? Donald Trump, the White House Faith Office, and the spiritual collapse of American Christianity.

A #WhiteHouse “Faith Office.” A strongman at the podium. Pastors applauding.
Trump is destroying democracy and cratering Christianity too. #uspolitics #prayerbreakfast #kakistocracy #authoritarianism

@nicholsuprising.bsky.social @msignorile.bsky.social Will the 26 midterms be too big to rig?

@msignorile.bsky.social Please! Good show, as always, but it's incorrect to say that Alex Petty was "disarmed" by the ICE agent. He was never "armed!" He had a gun on his person, secured in his holster or belt, and it was removed.

@realtexaspaul.com Stupidest thing I've ever heard you say. Dem leaders are the opposition party that needs to oppose. Get it? THEY need to OPPOSE Thune & his goons, Johnson & his insurrectionists & the fascist administration. You bet, Schumer comes in for severe criticism for his weak voice!

The shit is beginning to hit the fan. Push is about to come to shove. Any other clichés to add about where we are, existentially, right now?

Has this crossed your mind...

WHERE THE F&*@ IS GEORGE W. BUSH?

Not that I was a fan of George H.W. Bush, but I'm confident he would have spoken out and would be ashamed of his son for being AWOL at this time of existential danger to the nation.

@msignorile.bsky.social I nominate Jeffrey Goldberg editor of The Atlantic as an Angel. Goldberg exposed that he was added to an unsecured Hegseth Signal call where officials discussed real-time military operations. He published details of the call to prove Hegseth had endangered national security.

Meet the teen brothers tracking ICE YouTube video by The News Movement

Amazing example of courage by two teenage brothers, 17 and 16. PLEASE WATCH AND SHARE. If enough Americans stand up in some way, we will overcome this attempted autocratic takeover.

We shouldn't count our chickens but... I think we are seeing the beginning of this.

#Billionaires should not be allowed to exist. It is a distortion of the #economy and of the whole #society. Nobody should possess 1,000 million dollars. Nobody deserves to.

What has Trump got up his sleeve? Nothing is ever on the level with him.

Voters Rebuke Trump In Resounding Win for Democracy Read more here.

"The immediate results suggest whatever confidence this president enjoyed is now crumbling amid a record length government shutdown, a camouflaged cascade of federal kidnappings, a tariff-battered economy, and the systemic demolition of democratic norms," @jimsaksa.com reports on election night.

In Win for Democracy in Pennsylvania, Dems Retain Majority on Supreme Court Read more here.

Pennsylvania voters decided: All three Democratic justices on the state's Supreme Court will keep their seats — defeating a GOP push to flip the court and protecting a majority that defends voting rights and fair elections.

Grassley releases memo showing DOJ 'unleashed unchecked government power' on Trump associates Grassley released Justice Department memo showing Garland, Monaco and Wray personally approved FBI investigation into Trump campaign associates' alleged obstruction efforts.

The language Grassley uses here proves that he is a senile, captured dolt. It was ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for government officials to approve a full-fledged investigation into Trump's seeking to overturn the 2020 US presidential election to keep himself in power.

What happens when private equity buys a hospital? More people die in the ER, a new report says. - The Boston Globe A new study by researchers at Harvard and elsewhere adds to a growing body of literature that shows the profit-seeking model can raise prices and hurt patient care.

WE NEEDED A NEW REPORT TO FIND THIS OUT?

3 killed in US strike on 2nd alleged Venezuelan drug boat, Trump says Three people have been killed in a second U.S. strike on an alleged Venezuelan drug boat, according to President Donald Trump.

Is this a step towards shooting somebody on 5th avenue and getting away with it...?

Did you know that Trump has sunk another boat for alleged drug trafficking, killing people aboard, WITHOUT providing evidence to the public?

Vance says 'left-wing extremism' helped lead to Charlie Kirk's killing Vice President JD Vance hosted Charlie Kirk’s podcast on Monday, during which he said "left-wing extremism" is "part of the reason" Kirk was killed last week.

The lying and demagoguery from the Trump cabal is stunning. It is the use of "alternative facts" in a bizarro universe and it is antithetical to democracy.

What I would like to know is why can't Democrats challenge this ridiculous mid-decade redistricting plot in court? Maybe you are. Seems like Republicans are using every lowdown trick they can think up.

That's the most persuasive language he can muster? That it's an "unprecedented request?"

Just unbelievable. Horrific for any American to say but especially for a Secretary of Defense.
