Jason Crow: "You cannot tell me that releasing militia leaders, insurrectionists, criminals back onto the street because it's what you did to placate your political base makes us any more safe ... it's creating an environment that gives permission to extremists to be more bold"

Remember when you thought SCOTUS wouldn't overturn Roe v Wade? Well, now Idaho is asking SCOTUS to overturn Obergefell, the case that makes same-sex marriage legal www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/u...

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

I noted this when it was announced. The Bidens were informed and could have hosted

They won't- we all know it. Same as the failed UK template post Brexit.

Sadly, we all know the answers to these questions 🫤🇺🇸

John Oliver did a segment on the myth of “migrant crime” last summer that is well worth watching. www.youtube.com/watch?v=axsg...

BREAKING NEWS: President Biden has just awarded PREEMPTIVE PARDONS to Liz Cheney, General Mark Milley, Anthony Fauci, and the entire January 6 Committee. Good!

Biden has issued preemptive pardons for many of Trump's supposed enemies. In a year or so, Joe's presidency will gain considerable luster.

Maybe because the old Democrat regime enjoy the wealth they’ve accumulated and are actually Republican lights.

@wyden.senate.gov posted the link to these documents below. It’s the documents that tell what Republicans are going to cut in order to pay for the billionaire tax cut. The Senator posted the link I am posting the screenshots so everybody can se. It is 50 pages….

It is very hard to interview loathsome human beings, esp in the Q&A format where you can't bring in other sources or context. It is even harder for certain op-ed writers whose reporting skills are ahem, rusty, at best.

... or more famously, her interview w/ Kissinger archive.org/stream/Inter...

Food for thought.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So,I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

Why didn't Jack Smith ever prosecute Trump for insurrection? talkingpointsmemo.com/news/smith-c...

Liz would be blowing shit up if she was still in Congress! She has more balls than our entire party combined!

I feel MUCH safer 🙄 His tats show a white nationalist, he pulled a Kavanaugh at today’s confirmation hearing about a rape complaint, no whistleblower report provided from a veterans’ non profit he had run, calls himself a change agent for Wokeness — HEGSETH doesn’t know his Asia from his Asea.

Jon Stewart nails it: Republicans want Californians to suffer for partisan politics—but only when blue states are hurting. California pays more in federal taxes than 30 red states combined, but they won’t admit it. SAY IT PLAIN: They’ll punish California because they think it’s the leader of woke!

THIS IS EPIC! Senator Tammy Duckworth SCHOOLED Pete Hegseth on ASEAN. He is TOTALLY UNQUALIFIED! Sad.

As you think about the CA fires, consider this:

😂 $2.7 Billion! Smartmatic is suing FOX “News” for lying about their voting systems. 😂 They already paid $787.5 million to Dominion Voting Systems for the same thing. www.mediaite.com/news/just-in...

He’s not wrong

The sentence he DESERVES

President-elect Donald Trump is now officially a convicted felon, congratulations America. This from Judge Merchan at sentencing really stood out to me. 'To be sure, it is the legal protections offered by the OFFICE of the presidency that is extraordinary. NOT the OFFICE HOLDER.'

IN A MILLION YEARS I never thought I'd say these words: I wish more republicans were like George W. Bush... bsky.app/profile/wuta...

RIP President Carter

Jimmy Carter in 2015 on the role of money in American politics. Spot on.

If 15000 doctors are saying “this is bad,” we should probably listen. If we don’t, then anti-science/anti-intellectualism has won, signifying that the cancerous idiots and bandits will have their way with America. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

BREAKING NEWS: President Biden arrives to President Carter’s ceremony. Note that all the former presidents are sitting together behind Kamala Harris. I think today we can appreciate the unifying spirit former President Carter represented. This is the best of us.

Just to repeat what I've long said about this man: 1. Almost everything he says is a lie. 2. Nothing he says can be trusted. 3. His whole life is constructed as a long con. 4. Anyone who trusts him will ultimately be hurt. 5. He will say anything to acquire power and more money. 6. He is dangerous.

They aren’t going to find $2T in waste. They aren’t going to lower grocery prices. They aren’t going to fix immigration. They are however going to give themselves trillions in tax breaks, and pay for them by cutting Social Security and Medicare.
