If it’s now our policy to arrest illegitimate leaders who are harming their own people, can we at least start here at home?

What counts as progress for Republicans is invading a foreign country where they at least know the subject of the pretext actually exists.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Spoken like a true “businessman.” Take a highly dynamic problem in a high dimensional space and project it to a single dimension - “Do we profit?” …regardless of how many people have to die.

The only Americans he cares about are Fox News viewers.

Minnesota child care centers at the center of widespread fraud allegations fueled by a viral video were operating as expected when visited by investigators, the state Department of Children, Youth, and Families said in a news release Friday. www.cnn.com/2026/01/02/u...

They’re waiting for polling numbers to come in.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

If what it takes is 5 years as a US Rep for a Republican to realize how fucked up their party is, we’re screwed. We don’t have that kind of time.

Can you explain that to Tom Cotton, please?

Without any approval or oversight from Congress, President Trump has overthrown the Venezuelan government. This is an act of war. Every member of Congress should be outraged that Trump is sidestepping our authority and dragging us into another conflict.

“This is about plunder and power.”

Wait, Russia? Trump didn’t clear this with his boss?

You do get to avoid justice for the right price though. I wonder how much Trump is going to charge Maduro for his pardon. This has got to be well above the going rate of $1M.

The thinking is if he bombs enough countries the counter will just rollover back to 0.

Yup.

The media doesn’t talk enough about the fact that ”Let’s Make America Great Again” was Reagan’s 1980 campaign slogan Nothing this man does is original, at all, including illegal/imperial invasions in Latin America

For the umpteenth time: This is what America looks like without a Legislative Branch.

Musk’s MAGA support in the upcoming midterms will surely turn this around, because it’s worked so well for him up until now.

Can we at least be consistent and maybe remove OUR own brutal dictator who is rigging elections, is outrageously corrupt, and committing human rights abuses?

“Conspiracy to possess machine guns”? What is this 1920’s Chicago? “…and destructive devices against the United States.” Doesn’t that apply to every other country with a military?

No, but I’m thinking cabinet level position. Maybe drug czar?

I wonder if they’ll get a buy-one-get-one-half-off deal on their pardons.

At which point I’m assuming they’ll be informed how much it’ll cost for a pardon.

I feel like we should all have those workplace accident signs “X days since a new constitutional crisis”

We can’t afford to have a Democratic Party that’s divided between fighters and folders — and we don’t have to accept the status quo. As grassroots organizers and voters, we will soon have the power to remake the party: indivisible2026.org/?utm_source=bluesky

Because we’re not forgetting about Epstein.

Yeah, I’m trying to think of a dumber and needier famous person, but I’m drawing blanks.

Finally, some reassuring news.

Of course no Republican in Congress is going to remind him that having the president as Commander in Chief is part of the whole “civilian control of the military” thing.

Republicans rushed tax cuts for the wealthy but delayed their cuts to Medicaid and food assistance. Why? So they don't kick in until after the midterms. Help spread the word.

RFK Jr. ordered the CDC to terminate their flu vaccination ad campaign immediately after taking office. Just in case anyone was curious about his silence in the face of what is emerging as an unusually severe flu season and why he’s not out encouraging vaccines.

It’s also nice when the improvements are effortless. Apparently all Mamdani has to do is occupy the office and asshats flee the city.

My latest👇 Unlike in past years, we are not only up against the GOP and its right-wing allies, but the Department of Justice as well. Their collective goal is to use data to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat next November. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

And so it begins..the true impact of Trump and his ignorant ideas on the economy, business, and finance. Wharton should be ashamed. The US company Tesla has now fallen behind the Chinese company BYD. Remind me again why Musk warrants being a trillionaire for a company he screwed over?! 🤨

They’re trying to run out the clock on Epstein so it happens in the White House instead of prison.

There’s no way he *gave* classified documents away. He absolutely sold them. Either for cash directly, ‘cause apparently bribery is legal now, or he got something for himself in exchange.

A recently released cache of surveillance video from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City is raising new questions about the prison cameras at the facility where Jeffrey Epstein died in his cell in 2019. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Not a fan of Bush but he was a step up from what we got now.

AND both sides of the aisle stood up to applaud.

Hang tough, Colorado!! 💪

I for one wholeheartedly support his decision to ignore medical advice.

House Republicans asked Jack Smith about me. I continue to live rent free in the heads of these MAGA idiots. h/t: @emptywheel.bsky.social

What I don’t understand is why they haven’t learned that the “standard news cycle” was killed long ago by social media and the old tricks don’t work anymore.

That was mine in 2016 and have successfully stuck to it ever since.

Can we now have Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham now testify in Congress about what they knew and when they knew it?

Smith: We had also interviewed Boris Epshteyn… He corroborated that they were, in fact, trying to call senators. He dissembled and tried to imply that the president hadn’t directed him to do it, even though there was a text message saying specifically that they had.

Well…he and Hegseth.
