So Bondi and Kash make a big deal out of arresting the J6 pipe bomber then the guy confesses that he is a Trump supporter who thought the 2020 election was stolen and his lawyer is arguing that Trump’s broadly-worded J6 blanket pardon applies to him and he should go free. Poetry.

I have been given the shiny and very real War Stopper Award by USA Pickleball because I have stopped so many dozens of wars and whatnot. I am honored that my war stopping has been noticed by the foremost pickleball organization in the world.

wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

I am real sick of hearing "We haven't had a case of X in 30 years, why do we need to get a booster or initial vaccine?" COME ON, PEOPLE. USE THOSE CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS. The reason you haven't seen a case in years IS BECAUSE OF THE VACCINE.

The man charged with planting two pipe bombs near the Democratic and Republican party headquarters on the eve of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol told the FBI he believed conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, according to two people familiar with the matter. nbcnews.to/4pRUOh8

FBI Director Kash Patel has — on more than one occasion — ordered that the security detail protecting his girlfriend escort one of her allegedly inebriated friends home after a night of partying in Nashville www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

The DOJ is hemorrhaging staff, morale and commitment, as experienced prosecutors are sacked and replaced by unqualified political sycophants. Trump's Gangster State endangers public safety and national security.

He commits crimes against humanity to stop “drug traffickers” while pardoning a notorious drug trafficker. He attacks veterans while committing treason. Make it stop.

REP. HIMES: “The video was enormously disturbing… the example given in the DOD manual is of shipwrecked sailors. You do not kill them.”

His feigned ignorance is disturbing. He definitely needs to be removed.

Pastor Black: While I was in the middle of using the words of Jesus, they opened fire on me. It was so clear that they had been so poorly trained, or — the alternative — that they had been deliberately told to escalate violence against peaceful protesters.

They just don't seem to do numbers or facts very well...

Abbe Lowell, the attorney who is representing Letitia James: “I can't tell you a time in the federal system...where a federal prosecutor thought a case was strong enough to bring to a grand jury, and the grand jury said no.” @kaitlancollins.bsky.social

Koh: This is not about justice. This is about power. This is about a Secretary of Defense so drunk off alpha male bullshit that he's willing to take lives to get off on that power.

Reports now said that Kegbreath told Admiral Holsey that the military will follow all order & not to question any of them. Holsey stated the strikes are illegal & Kegbreath said do it or step down & retired. Holsey step down & retired. allaboutlawyer.com/admiral-alvi...

The CDC’s vaccine panel is meeting. RFK Jr. is on a mission to make measles great again.

FOX: “Congressman Jim Himes (D) said they were shown the unedited video of that second strike — he says, 'What I saw in that room is one of the most troubling scenes I've ever seen in my time in public service.’”

When a court ruled Alina Habba’s appointment as acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey unlawful, it unequivocally disqualified a Trump loyalist from a key prosecutorial post. Habba and the DOJ, however, don’t seem to think so — and it’s becoming a pattern. https://bit.ly/3MeYPxw

STEWART: “Turns out, Trump is for YOU… if you’re a personal friend… or if you donated a lot of money to him… or if you promised not to reveal anything incriminating about him…” The most corrupt regime in our nation’s history.

UPDATE: Van Epps getting immediately sworn in today because they can count on him to do the bidding of the rich and powerful, whereas Rep. Grijalva had to wait because she was not going to protect powerful pedophiles 🤔 @SpeakerJohnson

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election. As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

just as close as the polls predicted. this is why they’re trying to gerrymander every red state they can — they know most people are sick of their shit.

I used to think Republicans fell in line because they feared Trump would attack them in a primary election. Now, I realize it's much worse. They are physically afraid of Trump's supporters and the risk of violence.

45 years ago Paranoid Time is the debut EP by American hardcore punk band Minutemen, released in December 1980 It was the second release from the SST record label founded by Greg Ginn and Chuck Dukowski. Album cover by Raymond Pettibon American punk rock was a great family 👌

He really is becoming one droopy-ass old man. Maybe the droopiest old man going.

Gupta: These are the most credentialed radiologists in the country. No one is aware of any type of screening guideline that says as you age you should get an MRI of the heart and abdomen.

A common vaccine meant to ward off shingles may be doing something even more extraordinary: protecting the brain.

Sitting beside a drowsy President Trump during a lengthy Cabinet meeting, Hegseth claimed that while he's perfectly happy taking responsibility for the dozen extrajudicial executions of supposed drug traffickers, he wouldn’t dare claim credit for *that* one Pentagon decision. trib.al/LbJ7LeG
