On January 6 a mob of violent MAGA ignoramuses stormed the Capitol and spread shit all over its halls They’re still at it

We failed to hold the right-wing oligarchs accountable for the coup on January 6th, Russian interference, the subprime housing crisis, the WMD lie, Iran Contra, Watergate, and the confederacy. Elect people who will.

“For over three hours we begged him to send the National Guard! He never did it. He took joy in not doing. He was savoring it...What he's saying today is an insult to the American people." #GOAT

If you can help us fight Donald Trump and elect leaders that will ensure that Trumpism can never happen again, please chip in here.

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home. We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss. We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

@gtconway.bsky.social announces his run for congress in NY's District 12

[Conway] said he hopes to be a “wingman” for Rep. Jamie Raskin, who led the House’s impeachment case against Mr. Trump. “At 62, I can’t do this for very long and I don’t want to do this for very long. I am kind of like a special-teams player coming in.” gift link 🎁: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/n...

Happy Christmas!! Someone got a little over excited today and opened his gift and then Kiki’s gift too! We will even the score by giving her all his treats for the rest of the day.

“In a newly obtained recording of a phone call from late 2020, President Trump can be heard pressing the speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives to hold a special legislative session to overturn Mr. Trump’s election loss.” gift link 🎁: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/u...

is this bad? seems bad

KIM: Have you had a convo w/POTUS about using the FCC to go after critics? CARR: Heheh. I don't get into the specifics of conversations K: Would it be appropriate for him to give you direction to pressure media companies? C: I'm not gonna get into hypotheticals K: The easy answer is 'no'

Attorney for Former Special Counsel Jack Smith, Lanny Breuer: "In today testifying before this committee, Jack is showing tremendous courage in light of the remarkable and unprecedented retribution campaign against him by this administration and this White House."

this is the story about how Trump’s literal White House chief of staff got sloppy and couldn’t stop blabbing to Vanity Fair, and now top attorneys to a variety of the Trump DOJ/WH’s political targets for vengeful prosecution and criminal probes are sensing a real opportunity.

oh wow www.mediaite.com/media/news/b...

he believes they're literally invisible

Nano and I are making peanut butter cookies for Clyde and Gracie 🎄

Given that the Russians quite literally drafted our capitulation plan for Ukraine one has to wonder about whether there wasn’t at least a bit of cutting and pasting here.

As I mentioned to Katie, it's possible I may have fewer than zero at this point.

Harry Enten: "The GOP should be running for the hills, as the blue wave is building. Tuesday's result in TN-07 is part of a larger pattern of Dems outrunning Harris 2024 in 6 specials by 13+ pts. 5 of 5 times since 2005 the party that outperforms in specials ahead of midterms win the House."

good morning colorado ❄️

The Town just doubled down with giving little to notice to the public of a hearing today, didn't post the ordinance on the agenda, amended it in an executive session and voted on it without any public comment. Imagine how much taxpayer money is going to be wasted for these illegal shortcut attempts

The town of Kersey just blocked me on Facebook, deleted my comments, and the police chief using a sock account attempted to have my post in a local group deleted! @eff.org @acluofcolorado.bsky.social @coloradofoic.bsky.social @kylec.bsky.social @coattnygeneral.bsky.social @colorado.gov

via CSPAN Trump on Zohran Mamdani: "Some of his ideas really are the same ideas that I have."

@jessicatarlov.bsky.social: Why do you think Ghislaine Maxwell is in a minimum security prison and is basically being waited on… Watters: I don’t know and I don’t care ht: @acyn.bsky.social

As Trump ramps up his ICE raids in Charlotte, North Carolina, more than 30,000 students across the county reportedly did not attend school on Monday. This isn't about going after the “worst of the worst.” It was always about cruelty.

Fox Business credulously reports that Saudi Arabia is pushing its investment into the US "to $1 trillion." The entire size of the Saudi economy is $1 trillion. How stupid are these people and/or how stupid do they think their viewers are?

via @kaitlancollins.bsky.social One of the Epstein survivors, Danielle Bensky, says he threatened to withhold care from her mother, who had a brain tumor, and leveraged her brain scans against her while he abused her.

Jim Ryan's letter is not just surreal and troubling; it provides a series of deeply sobering lessons—about the perils facing public universities today; about what it means to "work with" this Department of Justice; & about what leadership does (and doesn't) entail at this especially fraught moment.

"The call for my resignation, right until the end, seemed so outlandish as not to be entirely believable. It also felt like a hostage situation, where the kidnapper threatens harm if you do not keep information about the demands confidential."

sounds like he's panicking

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “It makes me sick that she is claiming to be a victim. This is the same woman that grabbed my arm and forced me into a room to be raped by Jeffrey. She had this evil smirk on her face. And she enjoyed it.” ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social

Here come the “raping teenage girls isn’t actually that bad” arguments from the right.

Epstein spent Thanksgiving with Trump during president's first term in office: emails www.rawstory.com/trump-epstei...

@milestaylor.bsky.social: "DHS is no longer recognizable. The Department I once served is engaging in fascist shows of force — violating the rights of Americans — only to satiate the creepy desires of an old man who wants to seem macho. I’ve seen enough."

New: Agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter in a massive show of force. Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. But after the cameras were gone, federal prosecutors did not charge anyone. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

the only thing democrats should be saying today is “the entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history”

Harry Enten: "Nobody is buying what Trump is selling on Epstein. His net approval on it is an absolutely dreadful -39 pts... Far worse than any other major issue. It isn't improving over time. Even among the GOP, just 45% (!) approve of the job the Trump admin is doing on the Epstein case."

Blanche is admitting he went into that interview without first having subpoenaed information from Epstein’s estate???

It begins. Clearly incriminating evidence against president of the United States. Epstein to Maxwell, April 2, 2011: "i want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump. [VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc."

'In one email dated April 2, 2011, Epstein emailed Maxwell: “i want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.. (REDACTED) spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75 % there.”' www.cnn.com/2025/11/12/p...

Harry Enten: "Voters blame Trump, not Biden for the state of the economy. The vast majority of Americans (75%) & even Republicans (57%!!!) say Trump's not doing enough to lower costs... GOP in Congress should be scared as we just saw economy-first voters go big for Dems in VA & NJ Gov."

via @allenanalysis.bsky.social Fox turned an NFL game into a Trump rally. He lied about “prices coming down” and bragged about “$17 trillion in investment,” while Americans miss paychecks in his shutdown.
