The SNAP requirements are ridiculous and the amount of aid much too low. I don't care about "waste, fraud, and abuse" because I would like much more aid going to recipients, since the goal is to help people be adequately nourished. UBI for the win, also.

Trump is selling pardons to criminals while arresting future pardon recipients. Very Putin of the God King. The MAGA republicans are letting him profit from his presidency. TRump wipes his ass with the U.S. Constitution. Trump is as lawless as Murduro.

Might is right. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I wrote about reporters’ refusal to use “act of war,” “invasion” or “coup” when covering Trump’s brazen attacks on Venezuela, instead echoing WH-approved euphemisms, and the broader trend of our press dutifully giving Trump’s lawlessness the vague whiff of international legitimacy when it has none.

just thinking about every american media outlet that said something along the lines of "legal experts say there is likely no legal basis for bombing venezuelan boats" and not HEY THIS IS FUCKING ILLEGAL AND AGGRESSIVE

Well, we are definitely seeing why Trump submitted a record $1 trillion military budget last year.

required to track every statement, imagine every possible outcome, or carry the weight of the world’s future in your chest. What is asked of ethical people is this: choose one quiet, constructive act — and do only that. Make one call to your senator or MoC Write a postcard.

compass is still working. You know what is right and wrong. The fact that the powers have inverted that, does not take away the truth. History teaches us this: loud ambition is not the same as strength, and bluster is often a sign of instability, not control. You are not

When those with power speak casually about taking what is not theirs, when domination is framed as confidence and threat is called leadership, it is natural for people to feel a deep rage. If you feel unsettled, it is not because you are alarmist. It is because your moral

Trump looks like hell. It almost looks like narcissistic collapse.

He has posted more than 100 times on Truth Social in the last 45 minutes. He’s fine. Everythings fine. We’re not all going to die.

Moonlight and The Tor this morning. Quick phone shot that doesn't do it justice but it is so pretty.

Chris Murphy: "Clearly this is wildly illegal. This is a president who has been operating illegally since he was sworn in -- stealing from the American people, seizing spending power, now dragging America into a war overseas ... Donald Trump's entire foreign policy is corrupt."

NYT: “At least 40 people were killed in the U.S. attack on Venezuela, including military personnel and civilians… no American troops killed— About half a dozen soldiers injured…” This is what they call a “law enforcement operation”? 😕 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/w...

After 9/11, the US invoked Article 5 of the NATO treaty and every NATO member helped to combat terrorism. Some of our closest allies, like Denmark, went even further, voluntarily sending troops to Afghanistan and Iraq in support of US-led wars there. Today, Trump is threatening to attack Denmark.

Tom Emmer: "God bless this president of peace, Donald J Trump"

The Constitution is clear: Congress has the power and responsibility to authorize the use of military force and declare war. Congress has a duty of oversight. Congress must serve as a check, not a rubber stamp to the President. On these counts, Congress has failed.

America does not now have a president bound by or interested in his Oath of Office, the U.S. Constitution, or even American traditions writ large. Anything he does to benefit America is merely incidental—and not the thrust of his mission. Accept that and you understand this era.

Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened: -- a second strike against Venezuela -- Cuba -- Mexico -- Colombia -- Iran -- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

And now this…👇

First Venezuela, next Greenland? You don't suck up to bullies like Trump, he will just see it as a sign of weakness. Keir Starmer needs to get on the phone to our European allies including the Danish PM, and show a united front against Trump's threats.

“Everyone says he is crazy – which maybe he is – but the scarier thing about him is that he is stupid. You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump. You just don’t.” Fran Lebowitz

this is so fuckin funny man. the most powerful person in the world made a sweeping declaration of american policy and it was almost immediately obvious that it was completely at odds with reality. why is everyone fixated on that www.nytimes.com/2026/01/04/u...

How are Americans allowing their country to do this? Do they think what he is doing is ok? They must be ok with Putin and Hitler as well.

Sadly, this is historically true for heads of countries from time out of mind. There are problems that they're neither able nor willing to solve, & going to war, putting peoples' lives on the line, creates an effective distraction at terrible cost to the country & their own reputation. #Proudblue

Imagine having your parents brutally murdered and then having to do this because the fucking President of the United States is so disgusting.

Those “centrist” Dems who argue that it is weak to oppose Trump’s demented serial lawbreaking in Venezuela are in fact the spineless chorus of weaklings who are among Trump’s greatest assets and enablers.

I bet Kamala wouldn’t have invaded Venezuela, mass deport immigrants w/o due process, sic ICE and military on Americans, took away ppls healthcare, screwed over our perfect economy, and every evil thing trump has done to this country! I bet she wouldn’t have done it! #sheshed #wtpBLUE

I miss the days when Congress and the Supreme Court existed.

Trump is THAT CLOSE to putting Maduro’s head on a pike on the White House lawn.

I’m astonished. I really would have sworn that a man who appreciates breasts as much as Trump does would at least fund research to keep them healthy.

Cancelling research into preventing breast cancer is classic Trump and classic insanity. www.facebook.com/reel/4354173...

I’ve taken to using The trump instead of a proper name. It’s dehumanized itself into a plastic brand that shape shifts with political temperature. The trump feels no psycho or emotional pain, can’t imagine it. Its father wrung it out. Decisions are based on numbers not laws or principles. Profit.

The president’s approach of “he’s doing it” and “what are you gonna do about it” is precisely what several of his former-administration-officials-turned-critics were most frightened of. Free link: archive.ph/n9IMr

Dems, release another batch of the Epstein Files on Monday. Don't let Trump and Republicans distract. Keep him cornered.
