.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for what happened on January 6th? Lieu: The White House’s statement is batshit crazy.

"Marco Rubio, we salute you!" A real thing that was said by the CBS Evening News anchor tonight.

Flu surges in 45 states as doctor visits reach highest level in nearly 30 years About 5,000 people have died of the flu so far this season, including 9 children, as the Trump administration pulls back on advice to get kids vaccinated. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

was organizing some old 4x5 scans and found some photos that i really, really like and had completely forgotten about. first one is the paramount theater, second is a long-since removed oldsmobile that was down the street from me, and third is downtown building that gets gorgeous sunlight at dusk.

The novelty that Trump has injected into political corruption is he publicly announces it with the puffery of a press release for a new tech scam nobody asked for.

She warned us during the immunity arguments. And John Roberts took the predetermined opinion for himself.

The right wants to talk about fraud? Somali fraud? Okay, give me 60 seconds.

⚠️ Breaking News: #Aldrich #Ames, the most murderous #turncoat in the history of the #CIA, whose betrayal in working for the #Soviet #Union went undetected for almost a decade, has died. He was 84 and had been a federal prisoner, serving life without parole.

Things are going well between Dan and his old friends.

Among many ironies here is that “mafia state” is probably the best descriptor of modern Venezuela. Basically a mafia beef between two gangsters.

Piracy. 🏴‍☠️ — And by “to benefit the people” he means himself and his friends.

If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

How many times do you think Trump has said, “Make them an offer they can’t refuse?” Especially given his brain is set to the era.

Donald Trump is probably too stupid to figure out that the reason Venezuela has such enormous oil reserves is because that oil is notoriously thick and dirty so oil refineries find it too expensive to process. It's often as viscous as tar and won't go thru pipelines. And it's full of smelly sulfur.

Bacon on the administration's rhetoric about Greenland: "This is one of the silliest things I've heard come out of the White House in the last year. It's unacceptable and I hope other Republicans line up behind me and make it clear to the White House that it's wrong."

It is offensive, and this country is currently being run by sick humans.

#Ravens HC John #Harbaugh is out. The longtime #Ravens head coach and the team have agreed to part ways after 18 #seasons, #NFL Media reported Tuesday.

Sen. Tillis denounces Trump's pardons of J6 insurrectionists: "We let bad people go, and we sent the message that if you come to this Capitol and you have the right president in office, he's gonna get you get past things that not anyone of us would get away with if we did it back in our home state"

They really should start getting a lot of phone calls about this plaque, and the law that requires it be displayed.

"When Trump began previewing this shortly after his 2024 win — by teasing taking Greenland and making Canada the 51st state — it was often dismissed as unserious trolling or pie-in-the-sky hopes," writes Aaron Blake. "Today, it can no longer be shrugged off." | Analysis

"Donald Trump Wants You to Forget This Happened." January 6, five years later By Jamie Thompson **GIFT Article. Free. No paywall.**

I don't know, Chuck, I think at this point you could just pretty clearly say that you wish you hadn't voted to confirm the surprise new Viceroy of Venezuela, and add that no one was given any indication during his confirmation hearings that he planned to become the Viceroy of Venezuela within a year

Say what!?! 🤦‍♂️😳

WOW. This is wild. On one hand, the team has basically lost in every meaningful game bc of execution errors, and that falls at his feet. On the other, he ain’t dropping the ball and missing kicks. I will add—if the whispers about dissent btwn HC/QB are true, then they made the right choice.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Mike Johnson sold out his own parents, and then refused to even meet with them to talk about it.

Was J. D. Vance’s general absence from the Venezuela initiative an expression of his anti-interventionist ideology—or a political calculation? newyorkermag.visitlink.me/9twvW6

Never trust a guy who won't even consider helping his own parents when it's politically inconvenient.

For whatever it's worth... we've reached the statute of limitations on most Jan 6 crimes today Trivial.... because Trump Admin shuttered the Jan 6 investigations and prosecutions, after the pardons were issued

Though it still has not been litigated as to whether the statute of limitations can be paused for trump pursuant to the DOJ OLC memo stating that you can't prosecute a sitting president. Jack Smith mentioned this in his bid to dismiss the J6 case against Trump without prejudice.

Q: “The White House on their website today blamed Capitol Police in part for the violence of January 6. Do you agree?” SEN. THUNE: “I haven't seen what they put on their website.” 🤷🏼 Coward.

Surprise! The same one-third (33%) that continues to support Trump also supports his Venezuela attack.
