I read hundreds of pages of Epstein testimony from Trump’s Commerce Secretary and Ghislaine Maxwell’s boyfriend so you don’t have to. joycevance.substack.com/p/forgetting...

Yarbro lays out a graphic picture for any one familiar with Tennessee geography.

1. Flip the Senate this year 2. Block all GOP SCOTUS nominations 3. Hold the Senate and elect a Dem POTUS in 2028 4. Kill the filibuster 5. Pass HR1 6. Pass 18 year term limits on SCOTUS 7. Fill the 5 new vacancies with liberal justices 8. Have nice things

Democrats need to accept that they're entering a new era of procedural Total War. This includes a big escalation in redistricting, but it's not limited to that. If Republicans don't like it, tough shit: They made this world, and they are the ones inflicting it on us. newrepublic.com/article/2098...

BTW, this is how vouchers have ALWAYS worked when implemented. (1) Almost all the vouchers go to families already privately schooling their kids. (2) Once the vouchers are a thing, the private schools hike their tuition so that the few poors who get vouchers still can't afford them. #Segregation

"In the US, especially among the elites that ought to be leaders, people are hiding because of what Trump can do to them. They're complying in advance, not standing up because they’re afraid. But once there are too many of you for the govt to do bad stuff to each of you, it’s almost like immunity."

This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.

If Trump drove a car on the highway the way he’s running our country, he’d be arrested and his license and keys taken away. But the Republican House and Senate are enabling parents.

Pro-tip for the Swalwell campaign staff now maligning the women accusing their boss of sexual misconduct: it's not worth it. There will be other campaigns and other candidates but there will never be another time that you won't regret behaving this way towards survivors.

BREAKING: Donald Trump meets privately with Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth to assure them their jobs are secure, amidst swirling rumors that they may be the next cabinet members to be fired. #KashPatel #PeteHegseth

This is brilliant

Zohran Mamdani continues to pose the crazy question “what if the government you paid all those taxes to was actually using that money to improve your life?”

This

Remember when USPS had a contract to buy a fleet of EVs and Trump made them cancel it and go back to gas?

This was the timeline cleanse I needed tonite. youtu.be/ZkPSbp3zTfo?...

Is it too much to ask for us not to have the US government cause chaos, drama and turmoil every single day of the year including holidays and weekends? Can you just leave us alone once in a while?

People of Illinois: We have same-day voter registration! If you bring proof of address (a piece of mail with your name and address on it), you can register to vote TODAY and then vote TODAY. More info below! Please do it! (And please vote for Kat!)

Simple information about what the SAVE Act would actually do to American voters. Tens of millions would lose their right to vote unless they spend lots of $$$ and jump through bureaucratic hoops before November.

we are losing so much talent, progress, and hope for no good reason www.vox.com/future-perfe...

Administration Debuts Spinning Wheel to Explain Why U.S. Is Bombing Iran Today

Waldman’s sad but amusing send-up of the C team.

Best explanation out there of what it’s like for Congress to try to view the Epstein files at DOJ.

Why doesn’t anyone in the Trump regime seem to care about the fact that Russia is helping Iran target US troops?

This is not true—driver’s licenses aren’t acceptable under the SAVE Act without additional proof of citizenship. The fact that they keep doing this sleight of hand should make clear that the SAVE Act is not something that “every American gets”

Two brothers from South Texas and their high school mariachi bandmates were recognized by their congresswoman last June for winning a state mariachi competition. Nine months later, the brothers, along with their parents and younger brother, are in ICE detention and facing deportation.

🤣🤣🤣

Just saw this on another platform. Overseas military folks getting prenatal care are being told that the ‘host nation’ must provide this, but only after 36 weeks (just shy of 9 months). Landstuhl is not remotely a hardship tour. I think we all know what’s going on here.

As I said the other day: It’s only a war if it comes from the war region of France. Otherwise it’s just sparkling military conflict

Silly. You need ID (not “voter ID”) to get on a plane. Not “proof of citizenship,” which is what the SAVE America Act requires.

SEN. OLIVER: “They’re hoping to slide this through quietly.” Sen. Charlane Oliver calls on NASHVILLE folks to show up for two meetings this week about ELON’S TESLAS-ONLY TUNNEL — she says they’re trying to lock in a $30 MILLION 40-YEAR agreement with the airport. www.instagram.com/reel/DU1SCdS...

Big law firms looking for redemption after humiliatingly capitulating to Donald Trump might consider that local folks fighting with almost no resources to keep immigrant prison camps out of their towns could use a little help.

I've shared this quote before but I'll share it again, as it's one I've been thinking about a lot as I've watched how our oligarchs have been behaving over the past few months.

This should be a bigger story. A Reagan-appointed judge just ruled Trump’s Energy Secretary illegally ran a secret panel of climate deniers to cook up a biased report and sabotage clean air rules.

Thanks to you, I am already at 250 subs! I’d love to get to 1K (or better) before I launch Monday! Can you please help? Thanks! 🙏

To Gregory Bovino: This is what brandishing a firearm at a protest looks like.

Let's talk about the midterms. ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started. Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

At last night’s candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire announced he had asked the clergy of the diocese to get their affairs in order and to make sure they have their wills written ...,

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
