BREAKING: The United States appears to have begun bombing Venezuela. Massive airstrikes are underway. War is here.

Far Side

Phang: If Republican senators and congressmen have an issue with their cell records being obtained by Jack Smith, they should take it up with Trump. Because Trump ordered his co-conspirators, and Trump himself made phone calls to make sure that those election results were not certified…

Oh f--- off. I don't need THE NEWS to tell me what *I* think, I already know what I think! The news is supposed to tell me what I DON'T know.

Hey @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy America has never had true equality, fewer people are experiencing true liberty in the U.S. now than they did 20 years ago, and your own president ignores the rule of law. If you truly “loved America” you’d expose this, instead of bowing down to it.

Thank you to everyone who came to see me tonight at the Oxford Lane library! I'm glad you spent your first Friday evening of 2026 with me. For everyone else, look at this delightful thank you gift I got from the librarians there. One of them painted it! It's going on my office desk for sure.

THIS ISN’T GETTING ENOUGH ATTENTION. More than 100 immigration judges have been fired nationwide since Trump took office. 21 in San Francisco alone, many without explanation. Why? Because these judges provided due process under US law. The Trump admin doesn’t want hearings or fairness. 1/2

Knowles: The man barely ever sleeps… Mockler: Trump has repeatedly fallen asleep in cabinet meetings

Moon on the U. Campus. Good sign for @UtahGymnastics season opener, I hope! Hidden banner, too! Go #RedRocks #WalksCampusU

This is a good idea! Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) said, “If the governor has the ability to issue driver’s licenses to people in California, if you’re going to wear a mask and not identify yourself, you’re not going to be eligible to drive a vehicle in California.”

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system. It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Support independent media.

"When I look at Mamdani, I don’t see some radical departure. I see him an heir to the Yiddish socialism that helped build New York," writes @mollycrabapple.bsky.social.

A Japanese artist made the print DHS lifted to spread anti-immigrant hate. Can't make this up.

Stephen Schwartz, the composer of 'Wicked,' says he'll no longer host a gala at the Kennedy Center. "It no longer represents the apolitical place for free artistic expression it was founded to be,l Schwartz said. "There's no way I would set foot in it now."

The Constitution gives states the power to determine the time, place and manner of elections. Only Congress can change the rules for federal elections. The White House has no role to play in any of this.

A conspiracy theory that just might not be a conspiracy or a theory.

Q: Would you be surprised if President Trump directs DOJ to indict you? Jack Smith: “No.” That answer should alarm anyone who cares about independent justice. www.readtpa.com/p/house-repu...

ah yes, news focused on the concerns of the average american

Mamdani: "I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little & expect even less — I will do no such thing — the only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations"

ah yes, the best way to explain and understand the world is by ignoring experts and practitioners and turning our attention to the “average American,” whatever that means

Many don't realize that the most vulnerable or immune compromised depend on the rest getting vaccinated properly to keep diseases from spreading out of control. It's not just “my body, my choice” when it comes to saving lives.

The very same "president" that asked his generals if they could just shoot the American protesters in Washington D.C. during his first term.

Who wore it better?

Chicago Recorded Fewest Murders In 60 Years In 2025, Bucking Trump’s ‘Murder Capital’ Insult blockclubchicago.org/2026/01/02/c...

"There is no reckoning with whether a ceasefire that permits one side to continue killing can be called a ceasefire at all." www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Trump decried Chicago as a "murder capital." In fact the violent crime rates in the city had reached a 60-year low, its prosperity was unprecedented, and European publications raved about the charm of its leafy tree-lined neighborhoods.

"If it wasn’t Shirley’s video, it would have been something else. If it wasn’t MN, it would have been somewhere else. If it wasn’t about daycare fraud, it would have been something else. Everything this administration does is about creating a fig leaf to justify its violent dismantling of democracy"

the biggest gop donor runs a website that produces csam, somehow the mainstream media is disinterested in this angle
