10/10. No notes.

5. On January 11, 2021, AT&T released a statement saying its federal PAC had decided to "suspend contributions to members of Congress who voted to object to the certification of Electoral College votes." That suspension lasted 35 DAYS

4. As of today, Amazon has donated to dozens of election deniers, tens of thousands more to committees dedicated to putting those members in power, and contributed $1 million to Trump's second inauguration.

1. Hundreds of corps that pledged to stop donating to members of Congress who voted to overturn the election on 1/6/21 have broken their promise over the last 5 years But we've identified 10 promise keepers: Farmers Airbnb Expedia Nike Clorox Eversource Energy Holland & Hart Qurate Whirlpool Lyft

Nearly 150 countries decided yesterday to exempt large U.S. multinational firms from an international 15 percent minimum corporate tax. Trump pushed for a carveout from the deal brokered through the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. This won’t bring back jobs for U.S. workers.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time? Really American FB

If Russia can't participate in international sports, why can the US? Ban them, and move the World Cup to Canada/Mexico.

We are a country whose Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, gives our own presidents immunity for crimes committed while in office, but we will prosecute presidents of other countries for alleged crimes and invade them to execute arrest warrants.

Release the unredacted Epstein files.

#USA is not at war with #Venezuela unless and until it is authorized by an act of Congress. Until then, it is an unconstitutional action of 47 involving the DoD in an illegal move in Venezuela. The people of USA have not authorized a war. Far from it. Repost!

All the latin speaking Soccer/Football nations should boycott the US World Cup right now. If we don't even follow our own laws we obviously will ignore the international ones. This makes us a rogue nation. Make America Great, my ass. He has turned us into a damn untrustworthy POS

NEWS: A source confirms DOJ has NOT provided Congress the legally required explanation for redactions in the Epstein file releases, despite a Jan. 3 statutory deadline under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

We cannot become numb to the outrage of this. The wife of the President’s Senior Advisor threatens a sovereign nation.

This new war is not only illegal, reckless and deeply corrupt, it is the latest in a series of increasingly desperate distractions from the EPSTEIN Files. #ImpeachAndConvict47NOW

The U.S. Maduro just overthrew the Venezuelan Trump.

These are disturbed people

Rep. @sethmoulton.bsky.social : "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading, occupying, running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

The truth seems obvious to anyone willing to open their eyes. Trump has decided that whatever the files contain is more damaging to him than the political cost of keeping them under wraps as the country clamors for their release. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/for-...

In late November analysis by HuffPost had the president spending nearly $71 million of taxpayer money playing golf. That would put him on pace to spend a whopping $300 million on the game during his second term in office. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

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"

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country? There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

Heather Cox Richardson quickly sums up what’s happening in Venezuela as the Trump regime shreds, our constitution and the shredding the international rule of law. We’ve got three months people..

The “newly discovered” Epstein archive contains 5 million more pages than the GOP healthcare plan.

A conspiracy theory that just might not be a conspiracy or a theory.

So let me see if I got this right - Presidential Pardon by Trump of Former Honduran President Convicted of Drug Trafficking, but the Venezuelan President gets busted for the same crime also by Trump?!

Our military personnel should reject this nonsense. There is no way they should be following orders of a criminal who is dragging them into a war for no reason. I’m pretty sure this is not congress approved attacks therefore making it illegal.

“A dark moment.”

AMERICANS DO NOT SUPPORT THIS ILLEGAL, UNPROVOKED, AND UNNECESSARY WAR. Trump must be removed from office.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

CBS/Paramount was already on our big boycott guide, but last week, I added a new section (at the top) to illustrate their more recent turn to the extreme right. Now, I should probably be adding to it daily. You can read it here: psychopete1.substack.com/p/psycho-pet...

Benjamin Franklin also said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." That means: No Fascism.
