5 years ago, there was a bloody, lawless, and deadly attack on our nation’s Capitol. A group of criminal thugs broke out in riots and stormed our Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election at the direction of the President of the United States.

.@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.

The President does not have the authority to cancel elections. And in fact, saying so is another impeachable offense.

My thoughts today are with the security people and police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 and have been treated with such distain since by the GOP. For them and the Democratic leadership who lived through such chaos and no doubt continue to carry the scars within. We will not forget.

We the people, do not have any Department of Justice, No Supreme Court No President,with the intention to help the American. Congress, seems to be sending emails to have the American people, donate.... But, standing UP for Democracy, where's that?!

What it's all about:

Seems like every new Epstein files event results in the US bombing or invading someone.

They’re making up the Venezuela strategy as they go. This sums it up… “We’re fundamentally dealing with an unserious, immature Commander-in-Chief, which means we are seeing unserious policy decisions which are incredibly hard to actually analyze and discern what their purpose is.” Michael Feinberg

🚨BREAKING: DOJ admits it has only released 12,285 documents required by Epstein Files Transparency Act. More than 2 million documents still need to be reviewed/released. DOJ is in violation of federal law that required release by Dec. 19. More from Democracy Docket in am. www.democracydocket.com

Never forget. 🇺🇸

Whether it's Elon Musk creating sexually explicit pictures of children with AI or Barack Obama wearing a tan suit to a press conference, leaders on both sides have presented the public with disturbing tableaux.

What will be the next target in the Epstein Wars?

Congress has the power and responsibility to authorize the use of military force and declare war. Congress has a duty of oversight. Congress must serve as a check, not a rubber stamp, to the President. The fact that Maduro is a dictator who committed grave abuses does not suspend the Constitution.

Bleeeeeegh! Remember Epstein #epstein Epstein #epstein

On Jan. 6, 2021, bloody insurrectionary violence interrupted the peaceful transfer of power. Today, America is still caught in an epic struggle between selfish forces of rule-or-ruin autocracy & the unyielding defenders of constitutional democracy all over America.

Five years ago, Donald Trump instigated a violent insurrection in the Capitol to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 election. The fact that the GOP coddled him, protected him, renominated him, and now support him in office, is a stain that will never be erased.

Make sure everyone remembers this:

Release the Unredacted and unedited Epstein Files.

France at the UN Security Council: "The military operation which led to the capture of Nicolas Maduro runs counter to the principle of peaceful dispute resolution and the principle of non use of force. Violations of the UN Charter... chips away at the very foundation of the international order."

Donald Jenius tRump is a raging pedophile and should be removed from office! That is all…. @whitehouse-47.bsky.social 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

Joint European statement on Greenland. They moved quickly after Miller’s comments about annexation last night.

Amen

You can't make me afraid. Immigrants. They commit crimes 10x less than citizens. I don't fear them. Drugs? Oh please, you want to tell me it's ok to buy 10 gallons of vodka but not a joint? I don't fear them. The only thing I truly fear in 2026 are the Evangelical Christians and their faux leader.

We’ve never left the January 6th era. But what’s most staggering is how many people would prefer to pretend we never entered it in the first place. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/3L1Nu3N

Data centers will be THE political issue in many key races around the country over the next several years & Dems need to get all over it because this is a grass roots issue that transcends party. Want to get back in the game in rural America? This is how. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

👇 Also don't let them distract you from the Epstein files! We're not forgetting any of these things happened!

As of Monday, all of Venezuela’s ruling officials aside from Maduro appear to have remained in their posts, including Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López and Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, who controls the police and was known as one of Maduro’s most fearsome enforcers.
