Even at this late date, if you listen to @chrislhayes.bsky.social carefully you can tell he still dislikes the Clintons. One of these days I hope he’s man enough to admit his part in giving us Trump, no matter how small a part it was.

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

Extremely unsafe at any speed. Good work, Elmo. 🙀

VERY BIG TOP NEWS TODAY 🔝 🔥 Smolensk region, attack on PJSC Dorogobuzh. 💥 The destruction of S-400 launcher, 92N6E radar station and auxiliary elements of S-400 system was confirmed. 🇫🇷 France transfers record batch of AASM Hammer guided aerial bombs to Ukraine. 1/8

Ed Markey: I’m here at the People’s SOTU because it should be a moment of truth & a commitment to the common good. Under Trump, it’s Lies-a-Palooza. If he were Pinocchio, his nose would stretch across Congress a made-for-TV spectacle and a slap to millions struggling every day

Easy comparison between Trump’s speech and Gov. Spanberger’s: incoherent vs. cogent.

Hey, Mitch? Aren't you glad you didn't make sure that he couldn't run again by whipping that second impeachment? Great legacy you've got there. Hey John Roberts, great stuff in that immunity ruling. I'll bet you're thrilled. Your legacy is secure too.

Bet this ain’t coming up in the SOTU.

Happening now: Pennsylvania State House Special Election. This is a seat Harris won by 30 points. The Dem is up by 64 points! See you in November! 🌊

Two of them are captains of Canadian NHL teams, Sens and the Leafs, and I would love nothing better for them to be boo'd every time they hit the ice for the rest of the season. But, it's getting tiring to the point where I wish the US would just cut us off already and we could just go on alone.

Do you think TCM is sending a message? Their 8pm (EST) programming on SOTU night:

I just finished watching the movie “Black Watch Snipers” on Prime. If you want to understand Canada’s contribution to WWII this documentary is as good as it gets. Obviously, Trump aka Cadet Bone Spurs wouldn’t understand a single frame in his ongoing denigration of our great Northern neighbor.

Has anyone even asked Trump why he wants to attack Iran? Do they have a copy of the Epstein files?

JD Vance’s joke bombed massively at today’s Board of Peace meeting. Totally humiliating. But it also illustrates a larger point: There’s a reason MAGA can’t be funny. It’s because every single trait that defines a person with humor—these are traits we value highly— is a trait they do not possess.

When you’re down just remember the SCOTUS6 immunity decision doesn’t cover Trump for any crimes against minors he committed before he was president, and New York State doesn’t have a statute of limitations for such crimes. If he survives the presidency he can be prosecuted and if convicted, jailed.

Wondering why Trump’s victims in the Epstein files aren’t coming forward to accuse him? Trump has been credibly accused & even found guilty of harassing & assaulting dozens of women. He’s faced no consequences Why would anyone go through that hell for a country that clearly doesn’t care about them

The middle powers together have a larger percent of the world’s economy than either the US or China. If they got together in an economic alliance they could confront American hegemony.

I remember going to Pres. Obama’s inauguration in 2009 and the long, walk to the Capitol from the train station. It was so many people we walked like a pack of sardines but worth every moment. I hope to have this feeling again. 😭 #PresidentsDay #SheShed #Pinks

Thanks for this. Not only was George Washington prescient about the possibility of a Donald Trump but another George — George Mason was even more blunt. See his objections 8 & 15 to the nascent Constitution that were published in September 1787.

Our tax dollars are just blood money at this point and I'm sick of being an unwilling accomplice in the torture and death of other human beings. Defund ICE. Sociopaths can't be fixed or trained into decent, caring people.

I wonder what percent of married women stratified by location, party affiliation (if any), age and ethnicity, have taken their husband’s last name. My hunch is the percentage would be higher with rural Republican women. The SAVE act would make it more difficult for them to vote. Brilliant.

Jens van't Wout wins 1,000-meter short track Olympic gold for the Netherlands

As Senator, Susan Collins has green-lit Trump's agenda, selling out Maine people to please him. We can't give her another six years to do more of the same. I've stood up to him before and won, and I'm prepared to do it again –– and win.

Listen folks, Pam Bondi was Attorney General of Florida from 2011 to 2019 so she's been covering up Epstein's crimes for a loooooong-ass time

Since no been held accountable in the Epstein business except for Maxwell, including Trump himself (no surprise there), Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg should be indicting as many as he can under NY law — no statue of limitations for child rape. Trump couldn’t pardon anyone convicted including himself.

Really? Do they really think they can erase LGBTQ+ history by sheer nonsense like this or distract from their malevolent incompetence and the Epstein files?

A federal court just upheld California’s law REQUIRING federal agents to identify themselves. California will keep standing up for civil rights and our democracy.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency. She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

The Turning Point USA Half Time show broken down into two minutes - the highs, the lows, the poor audio production and overuse of pyrotechnics. A 55-year-old man dancing around in shorts. It was everything and nothing all at once.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Imagine, air raid siren, explosions because russian ballistic missiles are attacking your city. And you're walking from the shop with a bag of groceries, talking on the phone with your mother and counting explosions. I don't even need to imagine. #Ukrainianview

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

So Trump's eponymous medication site is live. While I'm not going to go through every medication, I picked one I take. Here's a comparison between TrumpRx.gov and Mark Cuban's costplusdrugs.com. Maybe some drugs are less expensive because there are no generic equivalents — yet.

China is leaping ahead to the 22nd Century while Trump and his sycophants are taking us back to the 20th in transportation, the 16th in politics and the 14th in health care.

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

The president had his DOJ raid an election office and seize ballots. Now he is threatening to take over elections. Sadly, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Jerimiah was a bull frog....was a good friend of mine. RIP Chuck Negron

Affaire Epstein : le patron des JO de Los Angeles s’excuse après l’apparition de son nom dans les derniers documents publiés

Excellent summary of what Trump is doing to the American-Canadian alliance.

I'm sure all those American air carriers using the Bombardier CRJs like PSA, Air Wisconsin, Delta Connection, SkyWest and United Express are just thrilled tonight to learn that they can't fly their planes because the idiot in charge "decertified" their planes. PSA only flies CRJs.

Pretty infuriating to see a guy so crooked he took a paper bag filled with $50k in exchange for doling out government contracts now proclaim he is going after criminals. How is this real life?

There is no victory until all of them are removed from office.

China sending a bill to mandate E15 (gas with 15% ethanol) all year round for Trump to sign? We all know Trump isn’t the sharpest tool in the Constitutional toolbox, but what does this say about the people standing behind him yesterday at his Iowa rally clapping for something that can’t happen?

"The Trump administration is making a tactical retreat in the hopes of salvaging its larger strategic goals."
