Honestly, one of the funniest tweets I've ever seen.

Today is 6 years since disgraced and convicted killer cops Derek Chauvin, J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao were involved in murdering George Floyd. I've spent the time taking near daily photos of Minneapolis and i've shared thousands here: chaddavis.photography/minneapolis-...

Lots of competition, but trying to starve out the Cuban people is probably the most evil thing the United States is doing abroad right now

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

🤷

Presidential assassination attempts that didn’t get close happened in the past too, but you heard about them less because previous presidents all thought strength was shrugging “you can’t phase me, nothing can,” while this president thinks strength is whining “I’m such a victim, soothe my feelings.”

So Trump blew up Obama's deal with Iran, launched a new war, depleted our arsenal, cost us tens of billions, exposed the US as weaker to the world, and ended up just going back to a version of Obama's deal but worse? Do I have that right?

You may remember Republicans absolutely losing their mind when Obama released $1.7 billion in frozen Iranian assets.

You come to me, on the day of my son's wedding, which I am not attending

The podcast bros said they were supporting Trump for two reasons: He wouldn’t start any wars, and he’d release the Epstein files. Massie lost tonight for two reasons: (a) forcing the release of the Epstein files, and (b) trying to restrain Trump’s war in Iran.

Since Blanche now claims this is a lie, here is the arrest affidavit stating exactly this: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Holy cow. Blanche can simply read the arrest record, here: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

One of the things that makes me the most fearful for the health of our democracy is this bizarre behavior by the press in twisting stories to make Trump's activities fit within normal frameworks that are completely inappropriate for the circumstances.

minnesota gov. tim walz has signed a bill banning prediction markes (kalshi, polymarket). first state-level ban of its kind. (sports betting via traditional/mobile sports books is still illegal here too)

Between the slush fund and the insider trading trump is directly stealing from both your tax dollars and your retirement.

This is correct on all counts and the through-line is that democracy is a device for making taxes not be theft We are experiencing a taxation-that-is-theft for the first time in living memory

In November I broke this story about Andrew Paul Johnson, a pardoned J6er who molested children and used the promise of reparations to bribe his victims silence.

At least 78 people pardoned for participating in the US Capitol riot have been arrested for unrelated charges, @wendling.bsky.social reports. That's more than twice as many as has been previously reported. www.bylinesupplement.com/p/the-jan-6t...

the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

I simply could not imagine being in congress and staying silent as Trump builds a slush fund of $1.776 (cute right… 1776) billion dollar slush fund for insurrrectionists. What are these people even there for? History will be brutal to them. And their kids will be embarrassed

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

A federal judge also ruled that federal funding was withheld to coerce a pardon for Peters.

Sometimes, a scandal is so big you have to pick off one piece of it. So in the case of Trump's insane stock trading, pick this: He did 6 trades of Intel stock. That company now counts the US government as a $9 billion stakeholder, thanks to Trump's intervention. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Memphis Press-Scimitar, 21 December 1945. "[Gerald Smith] wants to preserve 'Christian Nationalism' without domination by the Jews or any other minority group. And he wants America First--with Mr. Smith leading the 'crusade.'"

The Religious Right is desperate these days to pretend that "Christian Nationalism" is (1) a recently-invented term and (2) a pejorative invented by their enemies, but neither of those claims is remotely true. Here's a short thread, but I'm sure other historians will have examples too.

9 years was not an excessive punishment. Peters was a county official who used someone else’s security badge to let a fellow election denier access the whole county's voting data. That is an extreme breach of public trust for the purpose of undermining our democracy; harsh deterrence is vital.

Dems continuing excellent messaging by invoking … “Louis XIV” So close.

This is about $125k USD. A rounding error in the trump corruption numbers.

This is some next level evil. As always, Florida is something else when it comes to unexamined white supremacy. www.detroitnews.com/picture-gall...

The chairman of a Colorado county's GOP party was arrested on several charges related to soliciting a child prostitute.

Congress could presumably use its power of the purse to ban any expenditure of taxpayer funds by this commission. Seems like Dems should insist on votes on this?

Come for his “ailing dodge pickup,” stay to find out he’s a retired commodities trader. 🙄

The first time he said this, Trump accidentally stepped on a rake. This time he purposely jumped on it.

"In the meantime, Hawaii was reportedly waiting for anyone in either Seattle or Covington to kick his ass too."

JUST IN: Abject apology from lawyers for former DHS official Joseph Guy over motion containing fake case citations hallucinated by AI. Jason Greaves of Binnall Law Group says he used Claude Console, asked associate to cite check & failed to check himself www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

Trump is just soooooooo easy to play.

BREAKING: SCOTUS has denied Democrats' request for a stay on the Virginia redistricting case. This means that the VA Supreme Court ruling stands. This is what Democrats get for asking permission. It is beyond absurd that they asked a 6-3 MAGA fascist court for permission. They need to ACT ASAP.

This proposed MAGA-bro slush fund of money Donald Trump gets to hand out to his most loyal fans on a patronage basis, of money not allocated by Congress, is just an astounding new level of corruption for the most corrupt President in history.

Doh… of course this is why he says this. 🤯💡

drop everything. finally someone is doing something about the hot button issue of 2026, organized retail theft.

He really is a make-a-wish kid lol

New CRS report: 42 U.S. aircraft lost/damaged in Iran War, including 24 MQ-9 Reaper drones, 7 KC-135 tankers, 4 F-15Es, 2 MC-130Js, and an E-3 AWACS. The cost of the war currently stands at $29 billion, according to the Pentagon Comptroller. www.congress.gov/crs-product/...

My “this is not a golden calf” statement is answering a lot of questions about my golden calf.

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

The Justice Department has served subpoenas on The Wall Street Journal and other media organizations seeking information about the Iran war. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
