Some health experts are saying that *it* could happen in the March to May timeframe. I hope it's the Ides of March, so I can say "Et tu, Tupée."

My best friend Binnie.

Off to a good start

It’s really sad that what seems like an obvious move is actually so rare from a Democrat that people are congratulating Zohran like this was some kind of 4D chess move. This is the bare minimum strategy that all Dems have been expected to be doing for the last decade.

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

I don't live in NYC but I hope he succeeds and maybe the future will be better than I think it will be. Have hope for once in years

ZOHRAN MAMDANI ROLLED INTO CITY HALL IN A MOTORCADE OF TAXI DRIVERS — THE SAME WORKERS HE HUNGER-STRIKED WITH. THAT’S REAL LEADERSHIP. NYC DESERVES A MAYOR WHO FIGHTS FOR IMMIGRANTS, QUEER PEOPLE, AND ALL WORKERS. SOLIDARITY IS POWER.

Clarification hardly needed.

America, how long? How long are we going to tolerate an insane leader, a compromised Congress and a corrupt Supreme Court? How long?

Smith: We had also interviewed Boris Epshteyn… He corroborated that they were, in fact, trying to call senators. He dissembled and tried to imply that the president hadn’t directed him to do it, even though there was a text message saying specifically that they had.

Half way through the Jack Smith transcript and it’s become abundantly clear why Jim Jordan didn’t want public testimony. Jordan spends a lot of time whining about the toll subpoenas, and Jack Smith shuts him down every time.

Here a novel idea, let’s let the survivors redact the Epstein files.

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.

Former chancellor,Angela Merkel said Trump did not believe in cooperation. “He was convinced that all countries were competitors of each other, where the success of one meant the failure of the other. He did not believe that the prosperity of all countries could be increased through cooperation.”

“He caused it … and exploited it” Special Counsel Jack Smith about Trump’s role on Jan 6 youtu.be/7TtqBvSAHWc?...

Jack Smith, p. 27: "There is no historical analog for what President Trump did in this case … [W]hat he was not free to do was violate Federal law and use knowing-- knowingly false statements about election fraud to target a lawful government function. That he was not allowed to do."

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

BREAKING NEWS: Actual facts appear for the first time on "Truth" Social.

Lowest ratings ever for a CBS broadcast. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sooner than later, small business owners, like farmers, will realize they did better under Biden-Harris than Trump-Vance. The biggest con job in American politics: Republicans are better for the U.S. economy than Dems.

I just can’t keep up anymore.🤪

This is how you do it folks

Pelosi: “The President incited an insurrection. We begged him to send the National Guard, they never sent them. This President is trying to re-write history… it was an assault on the constitution of 🇺🇸.”

If I were innocent, I would want everything released to prove my innocence.

Putin and Trump are cut from the same cloth. Both lie to manufacture pretexts for whatever heinous actions they want to carry out.

NEW: DOJ has been to multiple venues trying to shop their criminal case against the people who investigated Russian election interference. And they keep failing. So they're trying to add a grand jury in Judge Aileen Cannon's jurisdiction. youtu.be/W4pImd81anA?...

AOC: "It's not just that Trump is corrupt. It's that everyone participating in this is corrupt — Elon is corrupt. Jeff Bezos is corrupt. Mark Zuckerberg is corrupt"

Trump didn’t say “protect the victims.” He said: “My friends will get hurt.” That’s why the Epstein files are still hidden. That’s why deadlines are missed. That’s why MAGA is cracking.

Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator? This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

He’s not hiding his medical records because he’s healthy, and he’s not hiding the Epstein files because he’s innocent. This isn’t complicated.

Hey question: Have any of the police leadership that sat outside of Uvalde during the shooting been held to account? Good guys with guns

Doesn't it strike you as strange that the people who shout long and loud that America is a Christian nation founded on Christian principles are the very people who don't want Christ's teachings of tolerance, pacifism, and generosity codified in law?

The House GOP skipped town early for the holidays and let ACA tax credits expire. This week I continue to hear from Ohioans who are seeing their insurance premiums skyrocket for 2026—rates doubling, tripling, and families losing coverage, at the holiday season. Shameless cruelty!

MTG has immunity under the Constitution's 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘳 𝘥𝘦𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘦 clause. It protects Congress members from legal consequences for statements made during official duties on the House floor. She can name the Epstein enablers w/o facing civil/criminal penalties for her remarks. She won’t because she’s⇩⇩⇩

Matt Gaetz, former Trump AG pick, had sex with underage girl while in Congress, House Ethics report says www.cnbc.com/2024/12/23/m...

Oh well if Putin told him then it must be true

CARTOON OF THE DAY 🇺🇸

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…” Read that again.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene *really* cared about the Epstein victims, she would read the names of the perpetrators on the House floor (where she would have immunity) before she leaves office.

Trump in Russia (1995) meeting w/ Russian government. For decades Trump has struggled to setup businesses in Russia

I’m extremely concerned by reports the Trump administration destroyed a facility during a covert action in Venezuela. If this was done without Gang of Eight oversight, it’s a serious violation of federal law and a dangerous escalation that pushes us closer to war: www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
