There’s directly, bloody line, between January 6th and January 7th.

Has Fox News started playing Swan Lake yet?

This is the last thing the BBC needs

Rain. Don’t care.

I worry about their exit strategy. Blanket pardons for all? Rigged elections ensuring Dems never get in again? Or just rely on the Dems doing exactly what they did after his first term.

Roberts is going to have to go a lot further than this to restore how history remembers him.

If the democrats can’t sell a government shutdown as entirely 100% due to the republicans, Trump, Musk and DOGE taking a chainsaw to civil society, then there is no hope for the party.

I take very, very, very, small comfort in the knowledge that when he is done, Elon Musk will be the most hated person in the USA.

Papiere Bitte?

This is resistance. Not memes and calling him "Drumpf".

I guarantee the Felon leaves office with a self-pardon, and pre-emptive pardons for all the illegal, unconstitutional shit that’s about to go down. We lost the republic.

TIL that punctuation was invented so Ancient Greek actors could better read their scripts aloud—which means that when I begin a script read-through by saying "An ellipsis means you trail off, a dash means you get cut off, a slash is for overlapping," I am participating in a TIME HONORED TRADITION

The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010. It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.

So true.

“A republic, if you can keep it.” Gorsuch, Alito, Thomas and Kavanaugh: “yeah, we’ll pass…”

Note: there’s no such thing as a tariff against Denmark, unless it’s implicit, like Jarlsberg, or Lego. There are only tariffs on EU imports.

“As an editorial cartoonist, my job is to hold powerful people and institutions accountable. For the first time, my editor prevented me from doing that job. So I have decided to leave the Washington Post” — Ann Telnaes, after drawing this cartoon, which included the image of a supplicant Jeff Bezos

Butthurt Reagan hagiographers having a tantrum over people saying nice things about President Carter kinda seems on point for 2024.

Love to see it

My senator:

Chris Murphy: "I read the headlines about the Liz Cheney criminal referral and almost every single one of them in mainstream media played this straight as if it was a normal function of legislative power, instead of telling the truth, which is that this is made up out of thin air."

Hmm. Rascists sure do like P45…

Two years ago today we were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for protecting The US Capitol on January 6th 2021. Almost 4 years later the efforts to downplay, whitewash and minimize what happened appear to be succeeding. I won't ever stop standing up to them.

One person spent this much money in a very close election. Our system can’t withstand this kind of assault. Citizens United must be overturned.

The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, NOT as a moral standard, but as a social contract. If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, they are not covered by it. In other words, the intolerant aren't deserving of your tolerance.

For me the most interesting subtext to this piece is that S. Koreans still seem to be capable of being scandalized when a president or his political allies lie.

Letter to United Health from a Physician... The fury at UH must be multiplied by millions of people

Same with women at hotels attending conferences?

Well said.

I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage. Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy

The Biden pardon can be both wrong & right. I hate the precedent, but I recognize it as an act of fatherly love. However, don’t ignore the fact that Biden has, by all accounts used the power of the presidency for his & his family’s benefit, precisely once in 4 yrs. P45 wont get through day one.

100%. Moreover, how do you compromise with performative hate and fascism? This was so close, I hate to say this, but we probably would have won with a (younger) white middle aged man. Perhaps we compromise on that and have the most diverse cabinet in history?

Patriots in government: start leaking, leak like your country future depends on it.

Yup.From Mannafort giving polling data to Russia,through trying to get Zelenskyy to initiate a fake investigation into Biden to 1/6 & the espionage charges.All make an office break in look inconsequential. & let’s not forget,in this digital age,R did the office break in too:they hacked the RNC & DNC

The Colorado courts, after a week-long trial at which Trump had every opportunity to present witnesses and to cross-examine his challengers, rendered that verdict. And SCOTUS merely held that a state can’t remove a candidate from its primary on that basis, not that the verdict was flawed in any way.

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter ‘the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. 💀

The Five Eyes should suspend the United States from its alliance until we get over our criminal fetish.

replace "trans" with any of the "other" labels and you capture the socially-conservative mindset eloquently.

And, in perfect Trumpian style, Matt Gaetz switches from predator to victim.

Mark this down. The party that elected a rapist will have no problem supporting the rapists that rapist nominates.

I’m hearing a lot of “the Democrats need to learn from their loss and appeal to Trump voters.” Did anyone suggest that we defeat Nazism in 1939 by appealing to the average Nazi voter? I don’t want to appeal to people who welcome performative hate. I want to crush their bigoted ideology.

Once you realize that Trump isn’t nominating cabinet members to RUN agencies but DESTROY them, it makes more sense.

As a self-described internet- old, I remember buying linguistics text books from books. com (way before B&N purchased the domain) through a telnet interface. I cannot, however, find any online proof that this was a thing. Any other internet-very-olds remember this?

This is especially true and pressing if you are Jack Smith, the EPA, HHS, DOJ…
