Tomorrow's republican elite: www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

for starters, Trump has: --Pardoned people convicted of committing crimes at the Capitol, including violent ones, whom he called patriots, --Continued to falsely claim the 2020 election was stolen & pushed DOJ to investigate, fueling conspiracy theories, firing prosecutors who worked on Jan. 6 cases

President Trump has zeroed in on oil opportunities in Venezuela, rather than restoring democracy or forcing elections as America's near-term goals. But for millions of Venezuelans who have fled the country in recent years, those are the changes that would matter most.

The U.S. government killed a total of 56 Venezuelans and haven’t uttered a peep about that. That news is feeling even worse on the anniversary of J6, a day when they are also ignoring the harm Trump caused that damned day. Violence thrives in silence. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/06/n...

Everyone; the former deputy director of the FBI.

Walz: "They're unwilling to stand with Melissa Hortman's children. And I want to tell you this: for those legislators who went and shed crocodile tears at her funeral, shame on you. Shame on you. Her children are asking you to do one thing in her name: tell the president to stop doing this."

Sickening — the White House has put up a site about 1/6 painting himself as a hero and Pelosi, The Capitol Police, and Mike Pence as the villains. An attempt to rewrite history before our eyes. www.whitehouse.gov/j6/

No amount of gaslighting will convince sane and rational Americans that we didn’t see what we saw on January 6, 2021. Let’s cut through some of the bullshit and lies…

American democracy was born here in Pennsylvania — and we are going to protect it.

Never forget, January 6, 2021. "U.S. Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman during the attack on the U.S. Capitol building. He is recognized for his heroism in diverting a mob of rioters away from the Senate chamber, saving lives and allowing lawmakers to escape." 📷 @nytimes.com©️

Today, I am reflecting on the bravery of the officers who heroically defended our Capitol on January 6, 2021, from violent insurrectionists sent by Trump. We must never forget the five officers, all Virginians, who lost their lives due to the attack. youtube.com/shorts/0PLaJ...

J6 attackers: - went on tours to case the Capitol - had tactical gear, weapons, zip ties - planted pipe bombs the night before - knew where non-reinforced windows were - included organized Proud Boy and Oath Keeper units It was NOT a "protest" run amok IT WAS A PLANNED COUP

This is on the official White House website btw

Five years sober 🎉🥳

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."

Let them fight.

Things are going well between Dan and his old friends.

Researchers found evidence that a companion star may be influencing Betelgeuse, explaining why the star’s brightness changes over time

10/10. No notes.

Trump has known this for days and hasn’t done anything about it. Putin keeps humiliating him. So pathetically weak!

My book “The Rainbow Sheep” on sale now!! Kids love it… and grownups too!! 🥰

The whole “transgender for everyone” lie is so nonsensical. The only time I’ve heard of a school going behind parents wishes was when a Christian private school in my city baptized a bunch of kids without telling the parents. It made the news.

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.

With the retirement of Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the passing of LaMalfa, it looks like the GOP no longer holds a working majority until his seat is filled. It’s at 217. They need 218 for a majority.

😳 The Russians have patented a protective system to counter FPV – “Dandelion”. The protection consists of flexible reinforced rods that branch into several tiers. A similar system is even installed on passenger cars.

Never forget. 🇺🇸

This is where we are. Read this joint statement by France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Denmark on Greenland: "Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland."

In other words, Trump is holding a January 6th anniversary rally at the Kennedy Center

Just gonna throw this out there that no book is more prescient for the times we face. It’s not hyperbole to say that the similarities to right now are chilling. You won’t vote your way out of this with a spineless opposition party and this is going to end very badly for many, many people.

😆👏🤣😭👏😂😆🤣🤣😆

You guys see it too, right?

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity:

A direct line connects Trump’s attempted coup five years ago with his incursion into Venezuela last weekend — and his current threats to Colombia, Cuba, and Greenland. Let me explain... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-threat-to-civilization

The federal government barred a list of 200 words and phrases from Head Start funding applications, including "disability" and "Black." Many of the banned words are explicitly referenced in the Head Start Act which was signed in 2007.

What is it? Malnutrition deaths soared by 746% from 2011 to 2023, data shows, with people 85 and older being hit hardest. However, that data might not be telling the full story. In other health news: many scientists, 2025 was the year of microplastics. And the new year may bring new viral threats
