Snapshot: A Deeply Appalling Press Conference It's worse than I thought. Trump plans to "run" Venezuela and does not pretend he cares about anything beyond taking the oil.

“It only took three days for these toxic goons to ruin the new year. Yes, there is no bottom.”

🗣️ I’M. NOT. OVER. IT.

I STILL can’t believe he tore down the east wing.

He is a disrespectful POS who has ZERO respect for office of the President of the United States.

Fucking pig.

@morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Please post Anand’s 50 questions!

Ok, they are back!

Does anyone know why @ms.now is running ad after ad right now? What happened to Velshi?

Then there are the senior officials who see Venezuela as a means to project a tough-guy, defender-of-the-homeland image. Stephen Miller views the air strikes as an opportunity to paint immigrants as a dangerous menace, according to one of the White House officials.

Remember: According to the Atlantic, Stephen Miller is murdering people on boats because he wants people to believe Latinos are a menace.

Such an Imbecile! Democrats please come out in force to defeat this enabled moron!!! There’s plenty of evidence to impeach or arrest him, and his corrupt SCOTUS!

The OTHER Democratic Demand for Reopening the Government It’s about stopping Donald Trump and Russ Vought—and it can’t happen soon enough.

"Those who study the law and are experts on the balance of power warn that unless Congress reasserts its authority soon, we may end up unable to repair the guardrails that have held our government together for centuries."

Shrapnel fragments spread over a freeway that was only closed because the Governor heard rumors of the missiles.

Go Virginia!

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

This is the kind of turnout we need for the midterms

The “update” on the protests in the online NYT today focuses intently in the protests in New York City, but completely ignores the millions who turned out nationwide. It is supposedly a national newspaper that chooses to ignore today’s top national story. It isn’t Vance and the Navy.

Big picture of JD Vance, and headline "Vance Flexes Marines' Might as Mass Protests Against Trump's Agenda Take Place." Two other stories on how Democrats have the wrong message and strategy.

Bonus question! What do we learn from the NYT's online play of yesterday's events?

Second "No Kings Day" protests the largest single-day political protest ever*, with 5.2-8.2 million participants Here are the initial results from our crowdsourced crowd-counting estimates

“Largest single-day protest in American history.” Roughly 2% of the population rose up to demand the restoration of democracy. So powerful.

It’s not a mistake, a phase, or something to be prayed away. It’s a birthright. A truth. A flame that refuses to be snuffed out by doctrine or fear.
For every #LGBTQ+ soul who’s been told to shrink, repent, or disappear—this is your reminder: You are not broken. You are loved. And your love is holy.

A crowd of exceptionally normal people against fascism.

Really impossible to overstate how much No Kings is a gathering of incredibly normie Boomers.

FROM: MEIDASTOUCHNETWORK To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. ~ Theodore Roosevelt ~

Trump loves to play the strongman, but in reality he is a weak, thin-skinned, petty little man-baby.

I admire every single black woman who has to cross every T and dot every I every single second of every minute, of every hour, of every day of their lives, just to stay alive. I salute you.

New rule: Democratic leadership should give their base better candidates than duds like John Fetterman.

Top *eight* articles on NYT devoted to Charlie Kirk, top one asks if he will be remembered like MLK. This is a man who only a tiny percent of Americans had even heard of before his death, whose views are too nasty for NYT to detail. But they are trying so hard to turn into martyr.
