Well-done and correct: Joint Statement by Chairman Grassley and Ranking Member Durbin "President Trump and Secretary Rubio have stated that this was a law enforcement operation that was made at the" DOJ, FBI, and DEA. “There is no legitimate basis for excluding the Senate Judiciary Committee."

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

Who is paying for all of these separate medical visits?

This is Herschel. She spent 15 minutes at the gym before deciding to switch her New Year's resolution to self acceptance. 12/10 (IG: cfsbk)

🔴 I'll say it till I'm blue in the face: the mental underling, Poilievre, is severely UNFIT to be Prime Minister of a great country such as Canada. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Fortunately, Canadian voters know it too.

I know they’re trying to take away our rights on this, but hey I made it through last year mailing in a ballot, so what the heck - get your situation ready and see what they do or don’t! 👍🏻 (Btw my state requires I bug them every year to send me stuff, so now’s the time. YMMV! Check it out!)

Nixon insisted the bombing of Cambodia was just targeting Viet Cong outposts there and not meant to undermine its government, but the bombings destabilized the Lon Nol government and paved the way for the Khmer Rouge’s killing fields and the massacre of more than a million people.

We've gone from worrying about what type of climate change catastrophe may affect us in our homes within the next 10 years... to knowing there's a real risk of waking up to find that life as you know it has been radically transformed & you have no say in who your country 'belongs' to.

Watch this. Watch again. "This incredible thing last night... We have to do it again [in other countries]. We can do it again, too. Nobody can stop us."

Ohh my god Read this:

What is it going to take to stop him?

A dictator just launched an illegal war without Congress — that’s what he is if we don’t impeach & remove him from office This is a dark day in American history

Heads up, Canada.

This is really rich from the guy who used the military in Chicago to pepper spray peaceful protests Trump threatening US intervention in Iran to protect peaceful protesters is just an excuse to attack Iran He's desperate for a war Any war Another irresponsible, self-serving distraction

Fair warning: If you don’t want to see a LOT of get out the vote content this year, I’m probably not a good person to follow. My goal for 2026 is to help hand the GOP the largest midterm loss in history. We’re going to make 2018 look like a small trickle.

Kevin Van Valkenburg on Trump ending Nat'l Links Trust's 50 yr lease on DC golf courses: "[W]hat this admin is essentially doing is taking over a nat'l park for invented reasons so that the Trump Org can run it & profit from it. Imagine if Yellowstone suddenly cost $1k but mostly served lobbyists."

I am grateful every single day that I knew enough to immigrate to Canada.

Ugh, Ben Mulroney has a TV show now. Why would I want to watch his RW propaganda?

“Increasingly more and more now, the news is not just a matter of boycott, disagreeing. It’s now in this category of places that don’t seem safe to travel in,” said Tracy Lamourie, a Toronto-based publicist. www.wwnytv.com/2025/12/30/c...

This is even more timely now than when first aired on TV. Get your flu shots, folks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=whks...

"The number one cause of the housing crisis is the corporatization of housing for profit in the creation of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT)s" This was done when Poilievre was housing minister in Harper's Cabinet. rabble.ca/politics/can...

Too late, we just realized this would have been a good title for the 🧵 below airing our grievances about BCI’s pension investments!!! “Divest-ivus”

youtube.com/shorts/nclqi... and how much of that $1.3B did Trump get for doing this??

If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to get more involved in fighting creeping Christofascism, clear your schedule on January 10. The last time these ding dongs tried to march at Christie Pits they were outnumbered 10-1. I bet we can do better than that this time. #Toronto #CounterProtest

Christmas plans got cancelled due to possible flu. After a virtual family gathering, I went outside to check out the animal tracks. Does anyone want to weigh in on whether these are dog family prints?

This Christmas, I have just one wish for you: Take a moment to really see the older people in your life. Let them know they’re loved, valued, and never invisible. Share a smile with an elder you don’t know. Offer a warm holiday greeting. Small gestures carry enormous power. Love,
 Lynda 🎄✨

Puff puff 🚬

The heroes are the ones with proximity to power...who tell the truth and work in integrity, even if it costs them that proximity and the money and influence that goes along with it. The cowards will sell their integrity to keep it. And bailing when there's nothing left doesn't count as heroism.

Battleships are intended for heavy bombardment of fixed shore positions, mostly prior to a beach assault by infantry and mobile troops. They are expensive, not fast enough, slow to turn and require a number of ships to protect them. Ronnie Reagan brought several back to prove their inefficiency.

Borowitz is brilliant. This is the perfect analysis of the rise and fall of Elise Stefanik, both the "Original Recipe and Extra Crazy." www.borowitzreport.com/p/the-best-n...

Since I’m getting “what did I miss” from alot, Paramount Plus, owner of CBS spiked the El Salvador CECOT prison story yesterday on 60 minutes because it made the White House look bad. Cancel paramount plus Censorship. Bari Weiss

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

From the no shit files:

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

If I weren't on social media, I woudn't be hearing about these protests most of the time. It's one more way that legacy media bows to Trump.

We now know that just as Putin was keen to oust Gen Kellogg as Ukraine negotiator and replace him with his hand-picked choice, Steve Witkoff, Putin was also determined that Tulsi Gabbard be installed as DNI atop the intelligence community. She had served him faithfully in that position.

Elise sold her soul for nothing. Trump would not back Stefanik over his other buddy Bruce Blakemen. www.wwnytv.com/2025/12/19/s...

yelling that Trump is doing something "against the law" is meaningless if there are no consequences

It is pretty clear to me that the boat strikes are meant to provoke a response from Venezuela, giving pretext for both regime change and a (more grounded) invocation of the Alien Enemies Act. It’s kinda concerning more people don’t see it — or that they do and they’re just not talking about it.

I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

This creepy little casket fondler and his lifetime supply of racist resentments is going to be the goddamn end of us.

House GOP Rep Kevin Kiley just straight up called Johnson a liar on twitter 👇 Things are NOT going well for Slick Mike

MAGA: I voted for a $400 million ballroom, war for oil w/Venezuela, remodeling public golf courses in DC, jets to Qatar, AI chips to China, Trump calling himself the first Jewish president, pardons for drug traffickers & politicians, Epstein files coverup, & failed indictments!
