You can find the full 8 hour video deposition by Jack Smith here... www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGtl...

The President of the United States is a criminal. Thank you for your service, Jack Smith.

Not sure why I’m giggling - but I am. I think I use that term, “point and laugh” pretty often when it comes to MAGA. Happy New Year! This could be the year.

As the rest of the world leaves the U.S. behind.

Trump could not possibly balance that well. He should be depicted clinging to a bar, at least.

I’m over justifying bigotry and racism and the horrible stuff happening in the country, and giving people who perpetuate it a pass because they supposedly don’t realize they’re supporting a monster when most of the watching world seems to get it... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/most-trump...

Corruption develops from the bottom up rather than from the top down. For individuals in positions of power to act corruptly, they must first feel confident that those beneath them will neither challenge nor restrain their behavior. 1/ #3E

Once more with feeling…

The Founders never heard of the name Trump. But he is the one they feared the most.

Trump just vetoed a bill that would fund the completion of a project to bring clean drinking water to rural Colorado. The bill was passed unanimously by the House and the Senate. He did so in retaliation for the state refusing to release Tina Peters, who illegally tampered with voting machines.

Every single Arizona Republican voted to rip away your health care and instead give $170 billion to DHS and ICE. That money is now being funneled to private prison corporations to detain tens of thousands of human beings based on insane, fake quotas. It’s authoritarian and deeply corrupt.

Something positive to look forward to.

I don’t know if he’s dying or not, but I do think something is seriously wrong with him. The White House is insulating him more and more, and he’s rarely seen walking anymore if they can help it - almost all of his media availability is done with him sitting. That’s a big difference.

Cannon ruled that part two can be released late February 2026

Having lived in 4 European countries, gone around the world a couple times, I saw the American culture pretty clearly. This is “The Ugly American” leading the world. Stomping. Demanding. Insolent. Entitled. Ignorant. Arrogant. They handed out their playbook to dismantle democracy.

I believe the question could be rephrased as “which billionaire lobby is paying more for access to natural resources in another country: the oil lobby or the precious metals lobby?

But every time the rapist felon tacks his name on a building he’s changing the brand. Tainting and staining it. Because Congress didn’t do this, any profits lost by the artists and shows cancelled should come out of Trump’s pockets. Not taxpayers.

It isn’t the Kennedy Center any longer so…not the contract they signed to

these pictures are stunning: Dump appears stunned. & melanie is absolutely steaming (in absolutely every picture). whew!!

This is what I’ve been talking about for months now: GOP lawmakers are trying to figure out how to reclaim their power after ceding it all to the White House. The problem? They’re cowards, and most of them are just going to resign instead. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

MTG tells the Times that when she threatened to expose the men who abused Epstein’s victims, Trump called to scream at her. “My friends will get hurt,” he said. This shouldn’t surprise anyone, but it’s still shocking to read. Maybe don’t be friends with pedos, just saying

This whole no more being the world police thing is going swimmingly. Pretty incredible how quickly MAGA went from “yeah! No new wars!” To “let’s bomb Nigeria and Iran!!!”

Fact check: true

I’m shocked - shocked, I tell you - that refusing FBI criminal background checks likely resulted in… criminals in the administration. To be fair, that was also the entire point - there were several Trump appointees who wouldn’t have passed an FBI background check.

Healthcare costs are going to skyrocket in 2026, and it's going to be devastating for our small businesses whose owners and employees make up about half of those enrolled in healthcare coverage through the Affordable Care Act. Republicans must fix this. www.wpr.org/health/aca-c...

I miss a president who cares for all.

BREAKING NEWS: Actual facts appear for the first time on "Truth" Social.

Why not take care of the children and respond to the fraud concerns? Trump Administration cannot do much, it seems, certainly not two things at once. 🙄

Who agrees? ✋

Thank you to Chuck Redd, The Cookers, Doug Varone and Dancers, Rhiannon Giddens, and Kristy Lee for boycotting the Kennedy Center renaming and canceling their performances.

We are traveling with a group of Canadians and I find myself saying, “ I’m so sorry.” and “We are terribly embarrassed.” with each new headline. It is interesting to hear their impressions of the global impact of the Trump mess. They are thrilled to attract our medical research teams.

He’s not hiding his medical records because he’s healthy, and he’s not hiding the Epstein files because he’s innocent. This isn’t complicated.

One of the most successful propaganda campaigns of our time is the right-wing claim that liberals dominate the media. The right has pushed this myth for decades on Fox and other outlets. You know about it because RIGHT-WING MEDIA HAVE A HUGE MEGAPHONE. My thread. 1/10 🧵

This is not how a normal Justice Department talks about an ongoing investigation—or about putative targets and their uncharged conduct.

These artists are taking certain financial losses and severe retribution from the Trump administration to take this noble stand They are truly heroes who deserve our support

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Pelosi: "Right now, Republicans in Congress have abolished the Congress. They just do what the president insists that they do. That will be over as soon as we have the gavel."

More on the continuing purges at #NIH. Now 13 out of 27 institute directors have been gotten rid of. This is not normal. @jonathanwosen.bsky.social www.statnews.com/2025/12/27/n...

What America Might Look Like With Zero Immigration www.nytimes.com/2025/12/28/b... With no immigrants, America would look like much of Oklahoma and New Mexico - Native Americans, herds of bison across prairie landscapes. I’m good with that, perhaps, but not how Trump has proposed “no immigrants.”

He cut off student loan forgiveness. He did special business favors for the CCP. He destroyed small farms. His tariffs constituted the largest tax increase on Americans in decades. He told thousands of lies in public. He hid major medical issues. He spread racist disinformation.

I just saw Stephen Miller referred to as PeeWeeHimmler and now I can’t unsee it. 😂😂

If this is true, it is the most impeachable offense ever.

Record-breaking retirements in Congress. That’s not “frustration,” that’s people seeing the building on fire and heading for the exits. Expect more retirements in January.

This has been the autocrat’s playbook for a decade or two: have friendly oligarchs buy up independent media and then they impose government-friendly editorial policies so the autocrat doesn’t have to get their hand directly dirty killing the free press.

I’m so embarrassed to be represented by this clueless dude who cuddles up with Trump at every opportunity. 🙄
