I’m not going to watch Trump’s State of the Union address tonight. I urge you not to, either. Here’s why…

There are two highly persuasive and blatantly false videos on YouTube right now, suggesting Ted Lieu and Adam Schiff devastatingly pinned down Kash Patel in open hearings about the disposition of FBI documents and investigations. Do your own research before supporting them.

The real winners from the State of the Union address will be everyone who doesn’t watch it.

Wow. Mike Johnson only took 2 Qs during today's House R presser - he usually takes at least 4 - and neither was about Rep. Tony Gonzales. Johnson is refusing to call for Gonzales's resignation following the release of texts showing he pressured an aide who later committed suicide for sexual photos.

Trump cratering in new polls: CNN Approval: 36-63 Among working class: 41-58 Independents: 26-73 (!!) WAPO Approval: 39-60 On immigration: 40-58 Tariffs: 34-64 On the pod, @juliaazari.bsky.social and I dig into how his abuses of power are backfiring badly for him: newrepublic.com/article/2069...

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.” They pulled a Target.

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU

Well: reporting confirms it – the Justice Department withheld Epstein files that contained allegations about Trump abusing a minor. What are these people trying to hide?

The US President Donald Trump is credibly accused of raping children

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

i said that YEARS ago

Do any non-politics junkies even read his noise? Apart from his ability to finish destroying the rule of law, vandalizing public spaces and inviting attacks on us, he's pretty much irrelevant tbh.

The women’s hockey team declining Trump’s invitation to the White House wasn’t a political statement. It was a moral stand. Some men dismiss Trump’s character because they see their own darkness in him. Women less so, because he represents everything they don’t want to raise in a man.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from Epstein files release.

Way to go, Roberts.

If you don't have time to watch a 10-hour stream, here's a recap of day 1 opening statements and the first witnesses for the prosecution in the Kouri Richins murder trial. youtu.be/3loar6lBurs?...

When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful. When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Know the truth.

Almost 250 years after we broke with George III, the question must now be faced: Are we a monarchy or a nation of laws? [Cartoon by Bill Bramhall]

Our president is seen as evil all over the world. Italy

I'm confused. The Air Force has had the capability for aeromedical evacuation since before the Vietbam era. If somebody needs to be brought home, an aircraft is the obvious solution. If they don't want a military aircraft landing, civilian air ambulances are a thing, too. Ninnies all around.

I don’t want a lot. I just want the men and women responsible to die in prison, broke and rejected by society

According to a quick Google search, 77 to 78% of farmers voted for Trump in the last election. Also, historically 50% of soy beans were exported. Voting against your own interests doesn't make me sympathetic to the agriculture industry.

Who knew he had this level of self-awareness?

Tampa Free Press: In a rebuke of Pam Bondi's DOJ, the U.S. Court of Appeals tossed out a deportation order against a Nepali couple. The court ruled DOJ made a legal error by ignoring a mountain of evidence suggesting they were actually in danger. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

Forgot "pervert".

AAHHH! YOU MENTIONED "MORAL". YOU THINK THIS CONGRESS HAS FUCKING "MORALS"?

There’s an absurd amount of evidence in the Epstein files that accuse trump of sexual assault. The DOJ is actively covering up heinous crimes. FDT FPB FKP & everyone involved in the coverup.

Seconded.

Can we just substitute "perverts" for "pedophiles"? The latter is too clinical and doesn't pin the rose on quite right.

His life now is one long exercise in the narcissistic self maintenance of holding grudges and getting revenge.

Are we living in a George Romero movie?

Ilsa: She-Wolf of the White House.

This is a political time to wake up EVERYDAY prepared to Speak Truth to Power!....

Speak Truth...

Absolutely NO LIES TOLD...

Pardon is already signed in case Bondi can't bury it.

Everyday he is "Stealing" more and more of our tax dollars OPENLY and Congress is Silent! VOTE ALL OF THEM OUT OF OFFICE! 🗽🐸

not that nancy mace is typical here but there is an interesting dynamic where epstein might work as an excuse for vulnerable or ambitious republicans to distance themselves a little from trump without breaking with his overall agenda

Meet Rep. Monty Fritts— a Tennessee lawmaker running for governor. If you’re one of the millions of American women who’s had an abortion, he thinks that you should be given the death penalty

I smile every single time he's confronted by the fact that people don't give a damn about him.
