An excellent read, in the wake of the White House’s posting of the fallacy-filled J6 website today.

I think he’s capable of anything, & I worry that we’re not prepared for what’s to come. If we still had guardrails, a reliable Supreme Court, or a strong, cohesive opposition Party, I’d be far less afraid.

🚨BREAKING: On the 5th anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, the Trump White House launched a new website that rewrites the events of that day—portraying the violent effort to overturn the 2020 election as a miscarriage of justice and casting those who stormed the Capitol as victims.

Michael Fanone. Just one of the heroes on #J6. Every one of these officers deserves our respect and reverence.

Release the unredacted Epstein files.

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

Paul Singer, whose firm owns the US subsidiary of Venezuela's state-owned oil company, spent millions in 2024 to re-elect Trump. Now, after Trump's invasion of Venezuela on behalf of Big Oil, he's set to cash in on his investment. A government of, by, and for the billionaires.

Crockett: "Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."

WATCH — @pabloreports.bsky.social : “Any reaction to the White House blaming the police for the violence on 1/6?” @crockett.house.gov : “They’re trying to rewrite history. It’s a disgrace.”

my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

Five years ago, Donald Trump tried to overthrow the government. He was dangerous then, and he’s dangerous now.

Have you met your republican colleagues?!

If you feel like you're losing your mind as this administration plays footsy with the idea of INVADING GREENLAND, then you're not alone. Let me be clear: America will NOT invade a NATO ally. My Republican colleagues need to join me in making that crystal clear.

Officer Harry Dunn: "How can we move on from January 6th without correcting the record on what happened? There has been no accountability...The President pardoned them — a criminal pardoning criminals."

The DOJ was required to release all Epstein files, with limited exceptions, by December 19. According to a court filing last night, the DOJ has released only 12,285 documents. More than 2 MILLION documents remain unreleased.

Predatory conduct towards children is fine, says Trump. After all, it's nothing he wouldn't do. And as for policy about drug interdiction, just ask what that white powder is trailing from the noses of Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Ex-NATO General Michel Yakovleff: “If Trump moves on Greenland, Europeans must be ready to fight the US to defend sovereignty.” "We must be ready to fight the US if they threaten European interests."

As Administration officials seem to be struggling with this, let us say it again: it is illegal to use the U.S. military to invade a foreign country without the authorization of Congress and is a violation of international law. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Just as the Nazis successfully rewrote the history of their failed putsch, so Trump is feverishly recrafting the history of Jan 6, using all the levers of power to do so. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

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.

“It feels like these data center companies have just put a big target on our backs — Where are the people we elected who promised to protect us from these big corporations trying to steamroll us?” This is a grass roots issue. Are Dems paying attention? www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

"Trump’s ham-handed effort to commandeer a beloved institution has backfired, drawing near universal condemnation. Only 18% of Americans approve of the renaming stunt."

From a piece earlier this year: Trump wiped away more than 600 years in sentenced prison time for Jan. 6 rioters. Gift link: wapo.st/4qGmHZY

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home. We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss. We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

Trump talks about how he has the right policy but blames the mind of the public for rejecting it. That isn't democracy; it's authoritarian populism. In a democracy, the public judges the leaders. In autocracies, autocrats judge the public. #holdfast

Gallego: "The reason why you have Article 1 power is because you don't want to let idiots like President Donald Trump make foreign policy decisions without their being a check and balance against that"

Tim Walz: "None of the Republicans running for governor had the damn common decency to Melissa and Mark's children. They've asked them to stop doing what they're doing. You need to ask those people running for governor if they would ask the president to please stop attacking the Hortman children."

Walz: "This is a concerted effort to try to destroy the president's opponents, to destroy the rule of law. And it became apparent to me that he was going to do that with me being there, and I just feel along with my family that it's the best decision for Minnesota."

This will devastate millions of families who rely on these services to survive. Make no mistake: this has nothing to do with supposed "fraud" or any other excuse Trump whips up. This is about enacting revenge on states that stand up to him and his cruel agenda.

Trump is incoherently ranting and raving during this speech to House Republicans, who are sitting in silence as his brain flits around wildly

100 years from now, people will look at clips like this and be like "Really, that was the guy?"

Abortion will remain legal in Wyoming after the state Supreme Court struck down laws that include the country’s first explicit ban on abortion pills, ruling that they violate the state constitution. https://cnn.it/3N97lP5

Walz is out of Fs: "Not a single Republican supported this, so every Minnesotan from here on, whoever uses this program, there is no bit of thanks that would go to the R legislators who did all they could to stop this ... our schools have money to pay their teachers? I'll take credit for that too."

Yes, I'm working for Indivisible at the moment, and yes, you could accuse me of bias and/or ulterior motives. But this is the truth: Nothing in my week is more uplifting, hope-supportive, and en-couraging than these calls. You should sign up.

This is why I’m pushing for a state escrow account that holds federal funds before sending them on to Washington. If Trump wants to steal our tax dollars that were legally appropriated by Congress, then we should just be paying ourselves.

"If you want to know who took all of your money, it's the people with all of the money." I keep thinking about this post and how it's one of the best, most succinct messages Democrats could use in 2026 campaigns.

I am once again asking the media to treat it as a huge fucking scandal that the Vice President of the United States has pickled his brain in white supremacist, antisemitic garbage babble

Release the Epstein Files.

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day. Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me. 🧵

One day before January 6, remember this: Maduro’s regime isn’t the first government Trump has tried to topple in our hemisphere. It’s the second.

January 6 was the beginning of the end of everything, not just because of what happened that day but largely because of everything that ~didn’t happen~ after. There is no “unity” without political accountability. January 6 succeeded because our systems failed and we are here.

January 6, 2021 was the most shameful day in American history. It should live in infamy. We will never forget it, and we will not let the nation or the world forget — despite the revisionism of Trump and his lackeys in the Republican Party.

Never forget the lawless criminal in the Oval Office did this. January 6, 2021

Meet the operatives who profited from January 6

All you need to know today, January 6: abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

I hate that these law enforcement heroes must relive trauma bc the Criminal in Chief and the Republican Party shamelessly LIE to millions of Americans. Resist GOP 1984-style, reality-denying propaganda. This body cam footage is A MUST WATCH for accurate January 6 history. www.upr.org/npr-news/202...

"Hernández boasted that he would 'stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses' while trafficking more than 500 tons of cocaine into the US. "Trump freed him, saying, 'If somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail'..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason
