It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Rep. @sethmoulton.bsky.social : "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading, occupying, running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

Trump should not just be impeached—he must be prosecuted by the International Criminal Court! With Trump, if there is no punishment for his crimes, he will commit even more. That is why we must demand Trump be prosecuted at The Hague. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-shou...

This is the correct takeaway from that reporting, yes.

I don’t think he’ll have one last moment of clarity. I don’t think he’s ever had a moment of clarity—that being said, I still hope someone whispers that in his ear.

Mamdani: Where else can you hear the sound of the steel pan, savor the smell of sancocho, and pay $9 for coffee on the same block? Where else could a Muslim kid like me grow up eating bagels and lox every Sunday?

PALEEZE

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

I’ll never ever believe that Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris lost their elections and Jack Smith’s damning testimony only helps to cement that for me.

Happy New Year!

#GVerse Jack Smith says that he does not understand why #Shit4Brains would pardon people who assaulted law enforcement. He says the people who defended the Capitol that day are heroes. #Repost Do you agree with Jack?

Since we’re renaming things…

This is not making America healthy again. This is sheer lunacy.

Maga calls him the hardest working president yet all this asshole does is spend hours on his phone slandering, ridiculing and name calling like the petulant fucking child he is. What a goddamn disgrace. When he’s gone it’s going to take a team of experts to remove the Oval Office stink….

As Zohran Mamdani takes over as mayor of New York City, he joins his new Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice, Julie Su, to talk about building an economy that works for the many — not just a select few.

Let me understand this. A president rigs an election but faces no consequences because he won the election?

Mary Sheffield was sworn in as Detroit’s 76th mayor, becoming the first woman to hold the office in the city's 324-year history

James: I defend the rights of New Yorkers—that’s my job each and every day, without fear and without favor—and that’s what Zohran will do, joining with me against any overreach.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law. A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.” Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

AOC: My name is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. and it is my deep honor and privilege to welcome you to the inauguration of our new mayor of New York City. Zohran Kwame Mamdani

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE

He’s president but he’s spending New Year’s Eve complaining about Dems

BREAKING: Explosions felt across New York City as full socialism begins

Half way through the Jack Smith transcript and it’s become abundantly clear why Jim Jordan didn’t want public testimony. Jordan spends a lot of time whining about the toll subpoenas, and Jack Smith shuts him down every time.

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct? Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

Everyone’s asking whether Jack Smith “won.” That’s the wrong question. Here’s what he actually did.🔥 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene *really* cared about the Epstein victims, she would read the names of the perpetrators on the House floor (where she would have immunity) before she leaves office.

It will take the people, the power of the people, to stop this insanity, and it must stop now. Stand UP People!

This looks like the Jedi versus the Sith to me.

Trump still doesn't understand the difference between political asylum claims and insane asylums

Even with Trump lording over America like a giant slug, positive change can and will still happen at the state (and city) level. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/a-wealth-tax-that-works

This is how you know a wealth tax is the right thing to do

And detainees are held for much long periods of time than needed so that these companies can charge more and make billions extra. It’s state sanctioned human trafficking.

the worst part about male privilege is that ppl just assume competency give trust to men so easily when like WHYYYY !!!!!!! whyyy do u trust men so easily when history shows that’s like the worst thing u could do

Here. I fixed the photo from today's meeting between Zelensky and Trump.

How to Get Rid of “Citizens United” open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

As the year draws to a close, a crowd-sourced effort, as well as trackers from advocacy organizations and labor unions, show that the Trump administration has implemented roughly half of the goals laid out in Project 2025.

President Zelensky is being yanked all over the world by Trump cohorts. I feel so terrible for Ukraine and our part in their suffering.

Russia green lights Chinese invasion of Taiwan. MAGA listen up.

Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator? This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

Presidential pardon power must be abolished – retroactively from 20 January 2025 forward.

Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd. Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage. Another reason for Medicare for All.
