I'd forgotten about Tina Peters, the Colorado county clerk currently in prison for authorizing access for rando conspiracy goons to voting machines and their hard drives. She's still serving her nine-year sentence, in spite of TACO's efforts to pardon her. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202... #Velshi

US special operations boarded a ship in the Indian Ocean last month and seized military-related articles headed to Iran from China. The cargo consisted of components potentially useful for Iran’s conventional weapons. www.wsj.com/world/middle... #Maddow

TACO's still fighting his 2020 election loss in Georgia, and… DOJ also just filed federal lawsuits against Colorado, Hawaii, Massachusetts and Nevada for not turning over their statewide voter registration lists. All except Nevada have Democratic governors. wapo.st/3MXWIhK #Inners #PsakiBriefing

TACO tried to bully Indiana state senators before their vote and berated them after. "In a Midwest nice rebuttal to America’s increasingly coarse political discourse, some said they simply didn’t like the president’s tone, like when he called senators 'suckers.'” apnews.com/article/dona... #Inners

There's no doubt the Indiana senate reacted to TACO's aggressive tactics. Instead of winning them over, he assumed they'd jump like trained dogs. They're habitually conservative, but now MAGA feels like a choke collar. #MSNOW #DeadlineWH

The Indiana state senate voted whether or not to support TACO's request to gerrymander the congressional map. Their vote lit up a lot of red on the senate board, but not the kind of red TACO wanted. #RedMeansFU #PsakiBriefing #LastWord

HUD: “We believe the City of Boston has engaged in a social engineering project that intentionally advances discriminatory housing policies driven by an ideological commitment to DEI rather than merit or need.” …'cause white Boston is sooo victimized… wapo.st/4ahKdHP #Inners #PsakiBriefing

TACO's going to slow down AI restrictions in the name of being "unified." It also rewards the biggest players in the field. www.wsj.com/politics/pol... #Inners

Several quotes from Indiana senators who voted against TACO. Seem like perfectly reasonable people... Senate Republicans reject Trump’s plea for gerrymandered maps indianacapitalchronicle.com/2025/12/11/s... #Inners

Does TACO have double pink eye? GROSS! #TheWeeknight #Inners

TACO called the Indiana legislature last October, urging them to redraw the state’s congressional map. Republican Vaneta Becker told the White House she opposed the idea. “I'm not going to change my position. You’re wasting your time on me.” F*cking-A, Vaneta. Well done. #DeadlineWH

There aren't many voices in the US that can speak from experience about a corrupt authoritarian regime more than someone raised in Soviet-era Czechoslovakia. Tell it, Martina. #DeadlineWH

TACO's plan for resolving the Ukraine war includes "bringing Russia’s economy in from the cold" and "helping to restore Russian energy flows to Western Europe and the rest of the world." www.wsj.com/world/europe... #DeadlineWH #TheBeat #Inners

Katy's right to be proud of hubby Tony Dokoupil. He's no Michael Schmidt, but he seems like a nice guy. #DeadlineWH

I had an HSA for health insurance when I was still working. One catch: you have to have a very particular kind of high-deductible coverage plan, like $5k to $10k. It wasn't a bad deal when I was younger and getting paid every week; wouldn't want it now that I'm older and retired. #MSNOW #DeadlineWH

Federal prosecutors spent over a year working to extradite a Belarusian woman accused of smuggling more than $2M in sensitive US aviation equipment into Russia. But the case could fall apart because the defendant is now at risk of being deported by ICE. wapo.st/4pZyiCQ #MSNOW #DeadlineWH

I'm probably overreacting to all these Dem election victories, but each one sounds like the ice cracking under TACO's tiny feet. #PsakiBriefing

HA! Was just checking out the Miami Mayor's race. Might be a good metaphor for TACO's declining favorability among Hispanic/Latinos. #PsakiBriefing

I'm sure all those young MAGA Republicans who jumped on Biden's student loan program won't mind doubling or tripling their monthly payments under TACO's new scheme. wapo.st/4aGd8Fn #TheWeeknight #Inners

Gawd, someone tell the Pacific they left the water running on #Portland. More forecast through tomorrow…

I keep having the same absurd, recurring thought about Republicans being an empathy-deficient mutation of Homo Sapiens. Their contempt for helping sick people receive needed medical care and for feeding hungry people always does it to me. They can't be human. #LastWord

A brief history of the polio vaccine: "The (vaccine) results were announced on 12 April 1955, and Salk’s inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) was licensed on the same day. By 1957, annual cases dropped from 58,000 to 5,600, and by 1961, only 161 cases remained." www.who.int/news-room/sp...

One last note tonight about Oregon -- there's an airborne ocean falling on the Pacific Northwest right now. There's about two inches of water on my balcony right now, with possibly another two forecast over the next day or two. #Maddow

Bad sign for hopes to use 1935 precedent to keep TACO from firing Fed Reserve officials… "Chief Justice John Roberts called that 90-year-old precedent, known as Humphrey’s Executor, a 'dried husk.' He suggested it had little relevance in modern times." www.wsj.com/politics/pol... #DeadlineWH

Liz is right (again). In order for the Trump Reich to take full control, he has to have editorial control of the media. Propaganda works best when it's the only option. #MorningJoe #DeadlineWH

Somehow I missed this earlier today. The State Department said it renamed The United States Institute of Peace to the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace to “reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation’s history.” ... even glued his f*cking name to the building... #Psaki #LastWord
