ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media. The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland. (Published November)

Just under the wire

For their anti-immigrant, white nationalist post about 100 million deportations, DHS stole the artwork of a non-white foreigner: Japanese illustrator Hiroshi Nagai. Apparently no white Americans were available to design an image. View Nagai's work here: hiroshinagai.com/contents.html

“Did you believe you had sufficient evidence to obtain and sustain a conviction against Donald Trump for interference with the lawful transfer of power?” JACK SMITH: “Yes.”

‼️Trump was ‘most culpable’ for Jan 6 riot and would have been convicted in court, Jack Smith told Congress in newly released testimony. Jack Smith: ‘During the attack, Trump "refused to stop it," intervening only after repeated pressure from members of his staff.’

Republicans wouldn't let Jack Smith testify in public. Instead they did it behind closed doors and released a transcript and video on New Year's Eve, hoping few people would notice. They think it’s smart politics, but I think it’s one more attempt to cover up treason. History will agree with me.

A few reactions from some folks who understand how day cares work

Jack Smith affirmed that the toll records of members of Congress subpoenaed were a substantial body of evidence of criminality. But under explicit DOJ seal. That's what we need to get our hands on.

the racism coming from the entire conservative movement targeting the somali community is so goddam disgusting and its just being completely ignored

““Billionaires have poured millions of dollars into this race because they say that we pose an existential threat,” Mr. Mamdani said in the speech. “And I am here to admit something: They are right.””

The Red Closet Diaries I don't care where Benny puts his Johnson, whose ass Matt Schlapps, who's in Nick's sexual Fuentesies, or if Tucker wants to tuck 'er into Carl's son. But great (Tim) Scott! I just want a Graham of honesty from MAGA men when it comes to sexual politics. by Maureen Dowd

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct? Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

Something that many (at least online) seem to forget it how high this man was flying in January and where he is now. Yes he is richer and still terrible but the Tesla protests pierced the sense that he was beyond reach. And that matters a lot. Thanks to everyone who joined those ongoing protests.

House Judiciary Committee releases on New Years Eve (in an obvious attempt to bury this info) the Jack Smith deposition transcript. I recommend doing a word search for "proof beyond a reasonable doubt." And explanation of disenfranchisement of urban areas. judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Trump and Stephen Miller are actually failing in crucial ways. Deportations are lagging behind their goals, courts are mostly functioning, and their fascist, ethnonationalist cruelties have unleashed a countermobilization of unexpected scope and power. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2046...

As it happens, I have experience with high-level government demands to stop an explosive, accurate story from running, and I also have experience with 60 Minutes spiking a story I was involved in, so I have thoughts about the travesty at CBS. If you want some journalism anecdotes, here are a lot:

WATCH NOW: The full deposition of former Special Counsel Jack Smith released by the House Judiciary Committee

Here we go people! Please spread far and wide!

Jack Smith: I believe we had proof beyond a reasonable doubt in both cases.

“it was rude and unfair of Obama to run an actual campaign, so we had to respond by nominating the worst person alive” is truly one of the all time post genres what does it look like inside these people’s heads

BREAKING: The House Judiciary Committee has released Jack Smith's 255-page deposition transcript: judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Smith says Trump's claims that he won the election were not protected free speech because they were intneded to target a government function. "There is no historical analog for what President Trump did in this case."

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

Trump just vetoed legislation for a pipeline project that would've brought clean water to southeastern Colorado. The bill's sponsor, Lauren Boebert, voted to release the Epstein files. Her scathing statement, in part, says, "I sincerely hope this veto has nothing to do with political retribution."

good piece with an incidental insanely brutal takedown of klein

When Nick Shirley arrived to "test" if he could enroll his son "Joey" in Minneapolis day cares, his viral video omitted that he showed up with an entourage of masked men acting like security, multiple vehicles including vans, cameras, and men who wouldn't identify themselves. One day care owner /

unvarnished gutter racism and Nazism from the president. a disgrace to our country.

Desperate Trumpian hi-speed flopsweat rocketing through the Capital tonight.

I am determined as God is my witness to start the Trump fake hand conspiracy theory. His hand isn't showing signs of an undisclosed illness. It's a fake painted Halloween costume hand because his hand was already removed. It's time.

30 Point Democratic Overperformance I expect a lot of Republican retirements in January & February.

Looks like most of the vote is in for the Iowa #SD16 (Harris+17) special election: Renee Hardman (D)- 73.3% Lucas Loftin (R)- 26.7% Nearly a 30 point overperformance to cap off an amazing 2025 for the Iowa Democrats

New reporting says Don Jr. directly facilitated the pardon of a crypto whale who had promoted the Trump's family crypto. Jr. brought the pardon lawyer to the White House, and introduced him directly to his Dad. Pardon occurred right after. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/pardon-the...

This is Trump’s long game. We’ve spent years cracking down on fraudsters. It’s a serious issue - but this has been his plan all along. He’s politicizing the issue to defund programs that help Minnesotans. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/hhs...

WATCH: Exclusive reporting from MS Now’s Carol Leonnig and Ken Dilanian reveals that during Donald Trump’s transition to power, his people knew Tom Homan was accused of serious political corruption—and they hired him anyway.

Go ahead, try...in vain...to forget about Thomas Homan. The Trump admin is trying very hard to erase him from your mind. They can't. He's right there...where he needs to be. Want to defy Trump? Then keep Tom Homan top of mind.

Pardoned by Trump after convicted of 12 counts of bank fraud and tax evasion. Don’t have to pay back $17.8 million in restitution or serve 12 year sentence. Not Somalis.

‼️GREAT piece by @jeneeninterlandi.bsky.social on how RFK Jr has left our “vaccine policies in disarray & our access to vaccines increasingly imperiled” The relentless norm-shattering isn’t “a byproduct of Mr. Kennedy’s larger plans; it is a central feature” 🎁 Link: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/o...

Cry harder about ruining an American institution we used to be proud of, you stupid quisling bitch.

Trump crony has embarrassing meltdown after more Kennedy Center performers quit www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Trumpers have a howling void of angry insecurity where a soul should be. Unchecked power tastes like ashes in their mouth because they thought when they got it everyone would be forced to like and admire them even though they’re irredeemable assholes. But people still treat them like assholes.
