Mike Johnson’s razor-thin House majority took three hits today — Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation, the unexpected passing of Doug LaMalfa, and the hospitalization of Jim Baird following a serious car accident. With Tom Massie fighting hard with leadership, the Republican margin shrinks to ONE.

All of the over thousand criminal convictions for the January 6 insurrectionists was deserved! These VIOLENT neo-nazis, white supremacists, & extremists, stormed the Capitol, injuring, maiming police, leading to police deaths. They assembled & acted at the direction of Trump! Many are back in jail!

I want to congratulat "Little" Marco Rubio. Kneeling before Zod will never result in him becoming POTUS. But for a little while he can pretend he's Trump's viceroy in Venezuela. In other news, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

Okay, I was naive *again*. I thought Trump 2.0 was going to turn us into Hungary and that the focus would be to control us and shrink us domestically. I did not see this shit coming: #momsky

Stay-at-home doesn’t mean not working. It means unpaid, invisible, and taken for granted. From contractors’ wives to small medical offices, women keep businesses and families running—and then get told they “don’t work.” I wrote about that lie. #Pinks #Momsky open.substack.com/pub/gissellr...

Jack Smith: “one of the strengths of our case and why we felt we had such strong proof is all witnesses were not going to be political enemies of the President. [...] Our case was built on, frankly, Republicans who put their allegiance to the country before the party.” ~ page 28 #USDemocracy #MomSky

Smith: “any time any information came in that would mean he could no longer be President he would reject it. And any theory [...] no matter how not based in law, that would indicate that he could, he latched on to that. [...] we had very strong proof of that pattern.” ~ page 28 #USDemocracy #MomSky

The US House of Representatives in Congress still has an R majority, but extremely slim. One less red vote in the House with this open seat. Another drop in red vote is departure of MTG from congress with her resignation, yesterday being her last day.

On the 5th anniversary of the January 6th Capitol insurrection, we are painfully reminded of how thin the guardrails of our democracy are, and we ask lifetime-career Republican politicians this: How much more damage are you willing to inflict upon our nation to please Trump?

Listen to the panic of this moment as #ICE shoots into her car with kids inside. How can anyone think that this is acceptable? It's absolutely repugnant. #ICELawlessness is happening again & again. Just about every attack is being done without warrants on innocent people by anonymous thugs.

Why Trump Refused to Back Venezuela’s Machado: Fears of Chaos, and Fraying Ties U.S. intelligence suggested María Corina Machado, Venezuela’s opposition leader, would struggle to lead the government. But her relationship with Trump officials had been souring for months.

Trigger warning ⚠️ We're living at a time where violence towards Hispanics is ramping up. This murder by law enforcement should be met with reactions across the country! Please share the name & story of Xavier Guadalupe Hernandez. The President calling us animals has deadly consequences!

The notion that Mark Kelly committed sedition by telling troops to follow only legal orders is insane And Hegseth's attempt to take away his retirement pay because he exercised his First Amendment rights to ensure our troops FOLLOW THE LAW is vindictive Hopefully Kelly will challenge its legality

Good Morning Everyone January 6th This day also will live in infamy....IT MUST Never forget #Jan6th 5 Years Ago Trump's Treasonous Crime That he was permitted to seek the presidency after his crime speaks volumes about the degradation of integrity among so many American voters America.... SHAME

Canadians can show the numbers, just like we have the huge numbers of people losing healthcare, but numbers mean nothing to MAGA. It’s not about logic, but the power feels.

Zack Polanski, leader of The Green Party of England & Wales: “It seems like when Donald Trump asks [Keir] Starmer and [Nigel] Farage to jump, they ask how high. Two men who are great at talking tough to the most vulnerable but are silent in the face of the powerful.” #USDemocracy #MomSky #UK

“Peace on Earth,” says the guy actively starting wars. Melania’s face said it all: pure disgust from someone who’s seen the devil up close and knows he sprays himself orange.

Bye Marge. You began as a promising Trump lackey, but in the end you were too “America First”. You're no longer in the running to become America's Next Top MAGA 💔

Denmark’s PM Mette Frederiksen is blunt: If the U.S. attacks a NATO ally, the post-WWII order dies and America becomes the threat NATO was built to stop.👀

She dedicated her Nobel prize to Trump hoping to gain his favor but is learning the hard way - there is zero value in schmoozing Trump. A.

HOW DARE TRUMP AND HEGSETH EVERY VETERAN STAND UP NOW

2/2 Trump answered unrest and protest with threats, boasting the U.S. military is “locked and loaded” and promising intervention. This is recklessness. His rhetoric invites retaliation, destabilizes an already volatile region, and puts American troops and global security at risk.

🧵1/2 Iran has unveiled a disturbing banner near the former Israeli embassy showing coffins draped in U.S. and Israeli flags with a blunt warning: “Watch out for your soldiers.” It comes amid rising tensions after U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and growing unrest inside Iran.

Only in Trump’s America do patriots get punished for telling the truth. Mark Kelly served his country in combat, in space, and in the Senate. He’s being targeted because he stayed loyal to the Constitution, not a conman.

Mark Kelly is not in the Epstein files. Take a minute to read the Senator's response to the #RegimeRetribution plans to censure, demote, and reduce Kelly's well earned retirement pay. Keep fighting, Senator Kelly! We have your six. 🫡 And thank you for your continued service to our country.

🚨The conman in the Oval can’t fix healthcare, but he can sure start a war to fix his headlines. Spoiler: he’s not fighting for freedom. He’s fighting for himself. READ HERE: open.substack.com/pub/sarahwoo...

The respect and admiration I have for #TimWalz is unwavering. Please read his entire statement. I encourage both R and D lawmakers to focus on this line: “After all, I didn't run for this job so I could have this job. I ran for this job so I could do this job.” Thank you, and your family, Gov Walz.

www.cnbc.com/2026/01/05/p... MY FELLOW ARIZONANS Actually Everyone this is outrageous And to every Veteran Join me in calling your Representatives demanding this is unjust 202 202 224-3121 Senator Kelly has 30 days to respond & all of us Please SUPPORT SENATOR MARK KELLY OUTRAGE
