So happy hearing the sound of rain in LA. Praying it helps the firefighters, and also praying there’s not TOO much rain. The fire areas have nothing left to absorb it.

Yeah! What a bunch of hypocritical nonsense! Happy Birthday Michelle Obama! You are the best!

The only president worse than the 45th will be the 47th.

Why am I not surprised? Trump holding his coronation in the Capitol Rotunda is simply another kick in the head to my family as Brian’s remains laid in Honor at that same location. Trump has zero redeeming qualities.

When Elon Musk shows up with a 6 inch swastika neck tattoo the headlines are going to say "Musk Sparks Speculation With New Look; Critics Say It Signals Problematic Beliefs"

He's so inordinately unsocialized and dense and creepy he believes his money, insatiable greed and dope make him irresistible. A real mess.

Being uninteresting, overly divorced, and quasi-addicted to ketamine has killed this dude. He was probably always racist to some degree, and maybe he was broken from an early age, who knows. But clearly he’s now so desperate for acceptance and validation, it’s not shocking where he’s ending up.

Republican Thomas Massie says he will NOT support Mike Johnson for speaker, calling him "the next Paul Ryan."

This is spot on.

Starting TODAY, a key provision of the Inflation Reduction Act goes into effect: Limiting annual out-of-pocket spending on prescription drugs to $2,000 for Medicare beneficiaries. 19 million people are expected to save an average of $400 each.

1/Earlier this month, and largely unnoticed by the national media, a man from southern Virginia was arrested with what has been called the largest cache of explosives ever, perhaps 150 devices. And it's a very curious case. www.smithfieldtimes.com/2024/12/30/f...

Happy New Year Bluesky. Wishing you joy, good health and prosperity as we enter 2025

Time zones are fascinating. Australia is already in 2025, Europe is still 2024, and the USA is currently in 1939.

Best wishes to all family and friends in this new year! Be a carrier of kindness and civility and strive to live the true values of our nation!

And stay out!

If only there was a vaccine! If only.

If we could turn our frustration into action, we could accomplish damn-near anything. What say we give it a try?

Mike Johnson Gets More Terrible News as Republican Skepticism Grows: Two more House Republicans have voiced their reluctance to back House Speaker Mike Johnson in his… https://newrepublic....

I've locked in my pick for this week’s @Pepsi Zero Sugar @NFL Rookie of the Week! JD5 (Jayden Daniels) Who did you pick?

Appeals court upholds E. Jean Carroll verdict. But of course, the orange felon will continue to appeal... he is willing to spend more on legal fees for appeals than to pay up. All to make a point. 🙄 www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

I would love to see a bunch of musical artists and celebrities put on a nationally televised tribute concert for Pres. Jimmy Carter on inauguration day with all proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.

Jimmy Carter is welcomed into heaven today. “Well done good and faithful servant.” He will be missed

This is so cool

LOL

Preet Bharara, you rascal!

I’m thinking it’s advantage the tech billionaire who controls a big social media platform but I’m willing to be proven wrong.

Gotta say, Jack, if you’re only just figuring that out today, you need to sit down.

Steve Bannon called Elon Musk, a “toddler”

This is hilarious. Two immigrants that MAGAs put on a pedestal are now calling them idiots and lazy. This is working out great.

The MAGA base is slowly realizing that Trump and Musk don't need them now that the election is over.

Idiots are finding out.

Good morning!

Expect many more of these takes in the coming years.

Good Q&A here with @schatz.bsky.social on politico. Abt as close to my thinking as any major pol on next steps. Talk like normal people is definitely high on the list. It’s mass politics, not problematizing grad school seminar. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Just to be clear, Elon doesn't support "legal immigration," he supports underpaying his employees so he doesn't have to pay Americans fair wages or help fund our educational system. Just like Trump!

As the four year mark approaches …. Justice Dept is now approaching 1,000 plea agreements in Jan 6 cases

Imagine if there was a news outlet dedicated to highlighting the crimes of white men in their 30s. Every time a white man in his 30s was arrested, it would be depicted as a trend, with a call to crack down on all white men in their 30s. That’s what Fox is doing, except with undocumented immigrants.

They are really trying to recover. Maybe they should have endorsed Kamala. Or taken into account Jamal Khashoggi, Trump and Jared.

The reality is that we're already seeing red areas of the country strongly rebel against coming mass deportations for economic reasons: bsky.app/profile/greg...

It appears Musk came to US on a student visa, did not attend school and worked illegally here. If he lied in his subsequent immigration applications he committed a felony level crime and could be stripped of his citizenship and security clearances. Musk's brother: "We were illegal immigrants."

This would have to be the most stupid move they could ever make. Who puts a thief and a con man in charge of the money? SMDH🤬

I’m too deep into Musk trivia. But he didn’t come here h1b. He came on a school visa. Didn’t go to school. Stayed here illegally. Later got citizenship on the basis of that fraud. Money cleaned up the problems later.

Miller is talking about deporting citizens for less.

MAGA vs. MAGA: Trump's base of less educated anti-immigrant whites at war with the billionaires, many of whom are immigrants, who have taken over his incoming administration. "[Trump's] fragile coalition is splintering even before he takes office." heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/december-2...

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

Today, I made homemade butter. You may ask, "Why did you do that?" And the answer is, "Better homemade cookies."

what’s happening on twitter right now shows just how important it was for left of center people to leave it earlier these assholes need a target, and deprived of their preferred options they are ripping each other to shreds

It's all fun and games until these people are in charge of running our country for the next four years
