The Kennedy Center is closing for two years for “construction”—and definitely not because the artists people actually want to see have abandoned it because the fascist Trump installed himself as its director and tried to rename it after himself.

Please stop saying the Melania movie’s budget was $40 million. That’s not what is cost to make. That’s what Amazon paid for the rights to it—which included a $28 million payment to Melania, herself, personally.

Color me shocked that Elon lied when he told Vanity Fair in 2019 he turned down repeated requests to visit Epstein’s island. Turns out Elon is the one who proactively reached out to ask if he could come visit!

NEW: Elon Musk has insisted that Jeffrey Epstein invited him to the notorious island and he declined. But new emails show the opposite -- Musk was practically begging to party with Epstein in the Caribbean, years after Epstein's sex convictions were public knowledge futurism.com/future-socie...

The Trump’s administration’s response to something outrageous is to do something else outrageous to distract from the first outrageous thing

Just a reminder that Ernie Hudson is *older* than Donald Trump www.today.com/health/men-s...

Two of the three murders in Minneapolis this month were by ICE agents, so if we're talking about taking steps to make the streets safer, sure, get them the hell out of there. Invite them to Louisiana where things are really out of hand. I wonder what kind of failed leader is in charge there? Oh

Everyone’s doing the 2016 thing.

The murderous thugs who executed Alex Pretti are on leave. Trump is not parroting the “domestic terrorist” lie. Bovino is being sent out to pasture. Miller has been shut out of strategy discussions. Noem is blaming Trump and Miller. They all know they messed up bigly this time.

DHS concedes to Fox it hasn’t followed standard protocol wrt this fatal shooting for the last five days, but it doesn’t explain why. It continues to hide the identities of its homicidal agents.

Additionally, the MAGA talking point that Pretti was a “domestic terrorist” started coming out *within minutes* of Pretti’s summary execution by a murderous thug of the Stephen Miller Secret Police

Certainly Trump and Stephen Miller will understand when Italy exercises its sovereignty and protects its citizens by securing its borders and excluding these undesirables

This is some Olympic-level bus-throwing

TACO has TACO'd again. Realizing he's losing even Fox News, the Trump administration is sending SS cosplayer Greg Bovino out to pasture. Self-admitted puppy killer Kristi Noem is likely next.

Wouldn’t have made it out of the VEEP writers room

So simply naming someone is doxxing, but taking photos and license plate numbers to create a database of the opposition for government stalking and harassment purposes is not? Naming someone is not doxxing them, and moving them to another city to kill more is conspiracy against rights.

hah! fuck off into retirement, nazi elf. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The administration knows the Alex Pretti murder is something they can’t just sweep aside. And you know they know there are severe problems for them—at least politically, and maybe legally—because they’re scuttling SS cosplayer Greg Bovino out of Minnesota.

Even Fox News is being forced to acknowledge ICE has been lying about the incident. A Fox News host acknowledged, "every video we've seen so far doesn't show him brandishing a gun ... it doesn't substantiate the idea that he was there to commit a massacre or that he was a domestic terrorist."

Keep your eyes on the Neo-Cons Vote out every Republican!

Hey NRA, are you good with this? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

It’s time for the SNL Trump cold opens to either stop or drastically change. “Oh, ha ha, he’s a narcissist, oh, ha ha, he mispronounces things !” No. Trump gleefully supports cruelty and murder. Either acknowledge that or don’t say anything at all. He’s not cute anymore. He’s a criminal.

I’m sure people from around the world want to come to the US to risk being summarily executed by the lawless, under-qualified, trigger-happy stooges of the Stephen Miller Secret Police just so they can attend the World Cup and the Olympics.

The NRA spent the Obama years absolutely losing their minds about hypothetical government tyranny. But when the government under Trump is literally murdering US citizens, the NRA can’t lick Trump’s boots fast enough. Of course, they were always fascist sympathizers.

‘We need gun rights and small government to protect ourselves from tyranny,’ Republicans said - before citing gun possession and fear of tyrannical government to justify murdering fellow Americans.

The NRA when the MAGA Party is in power: “tread on me harder, daddy”

If you weren't tracking it, it's hard to explain how hyperventilated the NRA's rhetoric about looming government jackboots was while Barack Obama was president. It was their/LaPierre's central sales pitch.

Here’s what America First looks like: America Alone

You'd think people would eventually grow tired of a new crisis popping up every week, each one voluntarily started by Trump, but the problem is the several thousand "swing voters" in a few states who got Trump elected don't pay attention to the news.

YOUR PHONE CALLS TO THE SENATE ARE WORKING. KEEP CALLING. 202–224-3121 Three Democrats who previously broke with the party and voted with the GOP are now saying they will not vote for the bill. That’s enough for the bill to be unpassable right now.

The individual was holding a phone, not a gun. Lawless agents of the Stephen Miller Secret Police pinned him to the ground, then summarily executed him by shooting him 10 times.

When will conservatives tire of “but it’s so cold in the wintertime! I thought we were having global warming! Lolol” They’ve been making that “joke” since the ‘80s. It’s time for some new material.

Meanwhile, over on Twitter, a Community Note is reminding MAGA Mike Johnson that the president has no constitutional authority to levy tariffs. Only Congress is given that power. And by *statute*, it has delegated *some* of that power, *sometimes*.

How is terrorizing an entire city with roving bands of ICE thugs doing anything to address fraud? In fact, they’ve pulled FBI agents from those fraud cases to deal with immigration. None of this is about fraud. It’s about racism and xenophobia.

We're not allowed to see the faces of the taxpayer-funded goon squad who is committing crimes in the streets, but the goon squad is allowed to record the faces of taxpayers who have committed no crimes.

What happened in Davos demonstrates why more people and institutions should stand up to a bully like Trump: he will usually back down. Meanwhile, the people who have capitulated have found their “deals” with him becoming increasingly onerous and demanding.

This past week in Davos, the whole world saw Trump exhibiting the forward lean that is common in patients with a neurodegenerative disease like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s. As he gave a meandering speech full of lies, he was leaning forward and gripping the podium like he was afraid of falling over.

MAGA World is soon going to find out whether polio was eradicated because of vaccines or because of better hygiene. The latter is what conspiracy theorists like RFK Jr believe.

John Dickerson on how Trump is now not only lying about the facts, but lying about how he’s lying about the facts.

Europe gave baby his bottle.

ICE is now claiming for itself the power to invade anyone's home without a warrant to look for "illegal" immigrants. This is literally the type of "general warrant" the Fourth Amendment was designed to prevent. How much more anti-constitutional can you get.

The Trump administration's idea of a "mom and pop" investor is a hypothetical couple that owns 5-12 investment properties.

Donald Trump, 79, encounters a binder clip during a press conference, then goes on a riff about how if the binder clip pinched his finger, he wouldn't have shown any pain. Here's why that merits a discussion about Joe Biden's state of mind.

"Disinhibition"—suddenly behaving in an erratic way—is one of the signs of some forms of dementia. It appears even before memory loss. www.mediaite.com/opinion/trum...

I will never get over the fact that the Republican Party chose as its standard-bearer, and this country elected as its President, quite possibly the worst human being on the planet.

Trump's malignant, pathological narcissism was on full display this weekend as he openly admitted (1) his desire for Greenland is complete vanity—he wants it only because he wants it—and (2) he's ramping up his rhetoric because he wasn't given a Nobel Peace Prize.

Today marks one year of Trump 2.0 In only one year, he has caused unfathomable damage to America, the world, and America's credibility. He has failed to deliver on all of his promises and has made life objectively worse, even for his own supporters, while at the same time enriching himself.

Donald Trump, 79, admits in a letter to the prime minister of Norway he’s going to invade other countries, including Greenland, because he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize. When will Congress grow a pair and stop this petulant child from damaging the world any further?

According to Brian Stelter, 60 Minutes is finally airing the "Inside CECOT" story that Bari Weiss shelved. She made Sharyn Alfonsi fly to DC to get an interview with Tom Homan and Kristi Noem for the segment, but both refused. So it'll run tonight -- with no promotion and against the NFL playoffs.
