The Brazilian Supreme Court is fearless in the face of sanctions -and will ensure that the trial of Bolsonaro stays on track. Trump is once again attempting to obstruct justice when it comes to holding former presidents accountable. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Trump and Musk are killing people. As is the Muskite that Ross Douthat interviewed.

As we come together to lift up Joe Biden and his family at this challenging time, let’s celebrate a few of his accomplishments.

Any security professional - military, government or otherwise - would be fired on the spot for this type of conduct and criminally prosecuted for being so reckless with this kind of information.

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

Let’s give it up to Joy-Ann Reid, the most fearless & knowledgeable host on the scene. You will be missed, but I have the feeling will be seeing you again soon.

WARNING! Hostile takeover & corruption of the military in progress. youtu.be/xdMVKNFpuj8

Elon Musk gets a lot of hate. But it's not enough. We can do better.

He’s looked like he’s been in declining health for a while, but now he looks positively ghastly. His eyes are pinned, like a person on opioids.

Rachel and @msnbc sure appreciate all the free advertising! 'Enemy of the people!' Trump rages at Rachel Maddow in middle of the night attack www.rawstory.com/trump-maddow...

Question: Are there any independent journalists on this Rick Caruso story about how he saved his little Pacific Palisades mall, and how much he spent doing so? Did his private firefighters sign NDA’s? I heard he had a little water leftover and saved a house, is that proven? I smell smoke.

There’s no city or county in America that has the resources or technology to fight a firestorm with 80 mph winds. It doesn’t exist. We’re in a new climate crisis territory. Don’t let them gaslight you into believing differently.

Saudi Prince Alwaleed’s Kingdom Holding has now invested $800 million in Elon Musk’s xAI and in related news Elon Musk has just set-up a new company X.AI London Ltd as he aligns with Nigel Farage’s far-right Reform party, my latest: newstracs.com/saudi-prince...

My report on DOJ IG's Jan6 report notes that after FBI missed a phone call involving Osama Bin Laden in advance of 9/11 FBI created a dragnet aspiring to include ALL US phone calls. After missing multiple warnings abt Stewart Rhodes & Enrique Tarrio, they yawned. www.emptywheel.net/2024/12/12/i...

Trigger a MAGA: Zelensky is four times the man Trump ever could dream to be

Elon, here you go again making false and completely unfounded accusations without providing any specifics. That’s the kind of response one would expect from a conspiracy theorist. What oligarch? What treason?

HOUSE UPDATE Republicans: 220 seats Democrats: 214 seats TBD: 1 seat (CA13, Dems lead) Could be a 220-215 majority, which shrinks to 217-215 early 2025 when you subtract Gaetz, Stefanik, Waltz. The GOP gerrymander in North Carolina (flipped 3 Dem seats) saved their majority.

Hi everybody! The Onion is extremely on sale for a week, starting today. $75 for a year of the newspaper, or $7 a month, shipped to your door. Sign up this week and you'll have your first one by Christmas. Get one for yourself, gift one for your friends, or confuse the shit out of your enemies.

Since not a day goes by without someone saying I’m “just another big account that doesn’t say what to do.” I’ll once again say what I think you can do. 1) 30 states have local/state elections starting in Feb. Get involved/run. 2) Join a special issue group like civil rights, abortion or immigrant

3) Join a local civic group to fight locally or your Dem clubs/committees 4) Get involved in your union 5) Write/call your Senator and demand hearings and they fight 6) Write letters to the editor and OpEds. Public pressure works. 7) Support alternative media groups and creators

8) Don’t give in to despair and surrender 9) Demand answers and accountability from our side too 10) Don’t be silent. 11) Form coalitions. We can disagree on details but stopping fascism matters now. 12) VOTE! It still matters. Just a few ideas. Almost none involve money. Just don’t quit.

Elon Musk wouldn't be shit without the funding of the American government.

It was a mirage, not a mandate. “The details matter. As things stand, according to the latest tally from the Cook Political Report, Trump won 49.86% of the popular vote — a margin of 1.6% over Vice President Kamala Harris.“ -Steve Benen

Trump is not omnipotent. It actually wasn't that hard. We won't win 'em all, but we win some. AND we can make Rs pay a political price each time they do something cruel, dumb, illegal www.youtube.com/watch?v=98hR...

Legends of journalism will emerge from this dark time, not by getting the latest scoop on his palace intrigue, but by reporting the news happening behind the shop window, in the back. Forget the distractions. Keep your eye on Jared, Netanyahu, MBS, Putin, Kim Jong-un, & Elon, the First Broski.

Withdrawing is something Matt should’ve considered with that 17-year-old girl he raped

Adam Kinzinger makes a good point.

You were warned.

Never has a photo defined Tennessee more accurately

Just because he isn't subject to their jurisdiction doesn't mean the House cannot release the Gaetz report. Don't let the GOP play the helpless victim here. Tell Johnson to release the report!

*Now* we know why Gaetz resigned from Congress.

This election proved to me that legacy media, network television, as well as print news, is over. If Democrats don’t start fighting hard in this new asymmetrical info war, western democracy will be a thing of the past IMO.

Sorry for being bad at Bluesky today. I was busy with this story. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trumps-...

Apropos of Elon & Vivek's excellent efficiency adventure, back in 1989 Bush sr set VP Dan Quayle up with something called The Council on Competitiveness. It was basically a backroom operation where corps cld toss in a few bucks and get a regulation killed. This will be the same.

Thank you for the mention! I like this bluesky place so far.

Endless pontification seeking to explain victory of an ignorant, racist, cruel misogynist will not produce a clear and definitive reason for Americans’ choice. Some voters plainly embraced White Christian nationalism. Others are swimming in a sea of disinformation. Still others impacted by inflation

It’s a new day, one and all. I’m having a look around here, as the last two social apps have been incredibly disappointing. Like-minded Americans are most welcome.

This place is better imo

Good morning, all! I'm new in town, so please be nice and offer me cookies. My old neighborhood used to be nice, then it turned into a hellscape.
