Seems like JD Vance is getting paid a lot by the government for his job as full-time social media shitposter.

I hope they boo the orange felon so loudly at the Super Bowl, that we can hear it from sea to shining sea.

Democratic senators will hold the Senate floor all night long in opposition to the nomination of Russ Vought, an organizer of Project 2025, to head the OMB.

This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do! www.salon.com/2025/01/28/b...

So Wired Magazine did a profile of me! www.wired.com/story/murder...

Look at that top line. VA Healthcare. That’s about 10 million veterans including elderly men and women in their 80’s.

Tulsi Gabbard, who Trump plans to nominate as his director of national intelligence, was a faithful consumer of Kremlin-controlled propaganda network RT, three of her former aides said. Critics say she’s increasingly grown soft on Putin’s Russia, and some lawmakers question her commitment to the US.

Jeff Bezos and I were both in the news today. Bezos is making nice with Trump. Kash Patel has said that I am an enemy of the GOP. He owns the Washington Post. I founded Democracy Docket. Both rely on paid subscriptions. Which do you want to support? www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

gotta import this HIT TWEET before that whole site crumbles to dust

Whatever the outcome, I wish everyone would drop any pretense that Pete Hegseth is fitting to lead our military men and women. They deserve so much better.

Most of you know my social media posts aren’t my professional work-product; my 5 full-length books on Donald Trump are, along with the 400+ investigative reports at Proof. Anyone who claims to know my work from social media can be ignored; only some of my posts aim for journalism. With that in mind:

Litman: I think there is no other inference but the owner of the LA Times has decided to curry favor with Trump.. I think they cowered and are worried about their personal holdings.. that is a really shameful capitulation. I felt I couldn't be a part of it and had to resign.

After a long string of Q&A replies from me, here's a cat for your timeline. Smudge, apparently caught in the middle of his TED talk.

I need one of these!

Do you guys ever look at these nominees and just think about the amount of hubris and narcissism it takes for literally any of them to think they are qualified to be a Cabinet Secretary? The lack of self awareness is stunning.

I'm glad Pete Hegseth has pledged not to drink if he is confirmed as Defense Secretary. So, I guess he can still sexually harass women, mismanage funds, discriminate against women service members, push for a Christian Nationalist agenda, and be a virulent Islamaphobe? Super duper.

BREAKING: President Biden is considering a preemptive pardon for Former Rep. Liz Cheney prior to Donald Trump taking office. Trump has previously threatened that Cheney would face prosecution for her opposition to him. 💙 if you think POTUS should pardon Liz Cheney!

In 1483 Edward IV’s 12-year old son, is at Ludlow Castle, he’s proclaimed Edward V by the Royal Council, with the Woodville’s support and his coronation is set for the 4th of May. The Duke of Gloucester (Richard III) is demoted to merely leader of the council rather than Lord Protector

Oh my God

Good morning from @altyellonatpark.org

When rumors of banning LGBTQ+ books hit the library board in a small Louisiana town, @librarianjones.com took action, facing death threats. For her, silence was never an option. “Hell hath no fury like a librarian scorned,” she writes. Join us at 11aET for the latest #VelshiBannedBookClub. #Velshi

Hey if you guys are really, really, really good—like if you don’t rape anyone, steal classified documents, obstruct the FBI, or attempt a coup—maybe Santa will bring you one of these for Christmas

The last Buffalo Soldier has just passed away.

Well played. And frighteningly accurate.

Thankful for family, friends, and the opportunity to live in a country where we can work for change. Happy Thanksgiving.

This morning I dragged myself out of bed at 3:00 to head to the West End Bridge in hopes of capturing the moon over PPG Place and the Christmas tree at the Point in #Pittsburgh. Luckily the clouds stayed away for long enough to allow that to happen. Made for an amazing view.

Tommy got his Putin talking points scrambled.

I’m one of Mark’s clients. This is something we could use help with.

For the first time in a while overdose deaths are declining - seven straight months of declines. The cause is complicated but appears to be the culmination of a number of different Biden admin policy initiatives coming to fruition. And yet it meant absolutely nothing politically.

As I have somehow surpassed 7k followers on here I thought it might be nice to do a giveaway: All 7 of my books to one lovely winner. Just share and like to be in with a chance! 😁📚

Happy Thanksgiving from Chicago

Beast Mode 🤝 Feast Mode Happy Thanksgiving, #EaglesEverywhere!

This is incredibly disturbing and goes against every rule of war, international law, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and the very ethic of the military. A disciplined military goes to every length to prevent civilian deaths and having a SecDef who doesn't care is unacceptable.

This is getting overlooked, but the whole premise of Trump's threat of tariffs is based on a lie. He's claiming Mexico must be bullied into stopping migrants. But Mexico is *already* doing this. That's a big reason crossings have dropped. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1888...

💙💙💙

I don’t care how many cases against him get dropped, delayed or buried. He’s guilty as sin and the whole world knows it.

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!

Literally..
