James Comer spent every day for 2 years and millions of US taxpayer dollars trying to link Joe Biden to Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014, but has zero interest in UAE putting $500 million into Trump’s crypto company then getting advanced AI chips from the US.

I guess they are pretty upset. For some reason.

Democrat Taylor Rehmet flipped a seat in Texas that Donald Trump won by 17 points. And now Trump, who endorsed the Republican, is saying he knew nothing about it. 😂😂😂 open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Women are increasingly disenchanted with Republicans and conservative thinking, so instead of addressing their concerns, the GOP is turning to the SAVE Act, in an attempt to keep them from voting. Please call your reps and ask them to vote against it. www.alternet.org/save-act-mid...

ICYMI: Great scoop from @wsj.com As I’ve said before, the level of self-dealing by the Trump family—this example undisclosed—is off the charts. Where is Congress? (Obvious answer, I know.) www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

This author watched the 2020 Georgia election recounts, and knows they were free and fair, and accurately counted and confirmed three times. For obvious reasons, she doesn't trust what Trump is up to there now, and worries his intention is to interfere in future elections. www.ms.now/opinion/fult...

"But in his return to the presidency this year, Trump has seldom ventured across the country to anywhere other than his own clubs. He also inhabits something of a news silo, watching far-right cable channels such as One America News and Newsmax along with Fox News," Lemire notes.

The surgeon general of Florida announced that ALL vaccine mandates in Florida will be ended.

Democrats won a historic special election in Texas with national political implications yesterday. Right-wing Politico's top story today? There's three Democrats running for Senate in Michigan, here's why that's bad news for Democrats. Tiger Beat on the Potomac has become even a parody of itself.

"Dechert added that while contacts w Epstein do not “render any prior statements false or misleading”, they did render statements on “do business with” or have a “relationship with” Epstein “perhaps more nuanced than might appear at first glance”." And that was before the release of the documents 🙄

Steve Levitsky, the co-author of How Democracies Die, on the dangerous place we have reached as Trump escalates: “Orbán doesn’t arrest journalists,” he said. “And in Hungary if you walk the streets of Budapest or other Hungarian cities, you will not find heavily armed masked men abducting people."

Liam Ramos gets to meet the pilot and visit the cockpit on his flight home from the Texas ICE camp This little boy has become an inadvertent symbol of resistance A reminder of why we fight What ICE did to this child was wrong. May the kindness he receives today help heal the damage.

Good news Everybody*! *unless you pay for electricity

Imagine if , I know its hard, but we had an already running project to build ferry terminals that [checks notes] Winston signed off on

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.

Anti Indian protesters in New Zealand having Indian food. You can’t make this shit up 🤣🤣🤣 #nzpol

Steve Bannon interfered in the 2019 Australian federal election, as part of a global effort to stifle climate action. He should face investigation under Australia’s foreign interference laws. #auspol www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Holy shit, Democratic candidate Taylor Rehmet has won a special election in Texas for state senate in a reliably red district that the orange felon won by 17 points and has been represented by a fascist republican since 1991. This is a major flip. Something’s happening. 💙👊

It’s been revealed that the NZ govt is doing a deal with Trump to give the US access to critical minerals. This could mean vast strip-mining of the Taranaki seabed for vanadium to build US weapons. We have to stop them. Sign the petition, call or write to your MP and look out for more.

straight up Gestapo shit

ICE almost certainly shattered this poor bastard’s skull then lied about it. apnews.com/article/immi...

PINOCCHIOGLES UPDATE: It looks to us Andy Ogles’ re-election campaign currently owes more than he has on hand😬 Maybe aspiring to be the most radical member of Congress (and lying a lot) isn’t the best move after all? www.fec.gov/data/candida...

This is a lovely knitting store, and also just generally crafters are the best. 🧶

Cross-posting this comment from Jeet Heer over on Twitter. It really is kind of funny that Musk is just totally unable to pick up on code and innuendo.

This is the guy who moved Maxwell to camp Fed. He knows the sickness in these files, and he is protecting the perpetrators.

Great 🧵about remembering: authoritarians are in fact acting out of their extreme weakness. Knowing that is our key to maintaining our democracy superpowers...

Distress signal, Minnesota-style. #ICEOutOfMinnesota www.facebook.com/share/p/1C2Z...

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing. She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

Lovely to see the Oregon Republican Party promoting the work of Joey Gibson (who led a group that wore t-shirts saying “Pinochet did nothing wrong” and “RWDS” Right Wing Death Squad) and a guy named Schultz who regularly recorded himself making death threats towards his fellow Oregonians.

Pretty much every OR GOP event I've gone to at the OR state Capitol building over the past several years has (like this one on January 3) taken place on a stage owned by a Proud Boy who is also a vice-chair of his county GOP. bsky.app/profile/seth...

This indicted, unapologetic J6er has basically been the de facto, unofficial social media messenger for the OR GOP recently. He's now running for governor. bsky.app/profile/seth...

Yes, who wrote this email to Jeffrey Epstein — and why did DOJ redact his name?

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range. And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

If you had said to me two days ago “Bari Weiss is in the Epstein files,” I would’ve politely smiled before backing away.

Heather Marsh was right. #OpDeathEaters #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinTrumpCoverUp

He's in the Epstein files, mailing Jeff about "pussy being low-cal" and how much he wishes he could tell people about how wild Epstein's life is. @cbsnews.com @bariweiss.skystack.xyz All the best people, huh?

Full rights and citizenship actually means they’re not a “foreign labor class.” And that’s what he’s angry about. He’s mad citizenship is universal rather than restricted to white people like before the civil war bsky.app/profile/gbbr...

If this is the same Peter Attia MD who was just revealed as one of Bari Weiss's big new additions to CBS News, he can just tell the stories about the "outrageous" life Jeffrey Epstein led on the Evening News. Think of the ratings!

<Aide whispers in his ear> Trump: What does Barbra Streisand have to do with this

Wowsers look at what happened to posts on Twitter/X about London crime after monetisation of posts was introduced… economist.com/britain/2026...

A number of these cases (most specifically, the ones on public datasets, and the ones on grants dismissed based on the “DEI”) are creating a new way of understanding administrative law and speech: that is when the government is a speaker, the government cannot be an erratic or arbitrary speaker.
