It’s just kids playing Risk now. 🤡

I believe the original sin Democrats, and especially the Biden administration, made after January 6th was viewing January 6th as the *end* of something, rather than the *beginning* of something. My post on how to remember this somber anniversary for democracy: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/five-ways-...

This pathetic Republican partisan hack, Tony Dokoupil, actually said "Marco Rubio, we salute you, you're the ultimate Florida man." Watch the video.

So, hear me out on this, I want my taxpayer dollars going to feeding, hungry people, educating kids, and building better roads. I have no desire to buy Donald Trump an island, & last time I checked, the power of the purse, still belonged to Congress.

Every video I’ve seen of this guy is just him walking around normal office buildings and acting like he’s infiltrated Area 51.

If you want to be jolted into a better mood: step into a family-owned Italian market. Orecchiette! Blood curses! Pelted by cookies! Told you look like a movie star! Yelled at by the sausage guy! Equal parts lore & joy.

This is Georgie. He heard sirens outside his window. Thought he would show them how it's done. 14/10 excellent vibrato Georgie (TT: georgietheboxr)

You cannot simultaneously care about maintaining measles elimination status while actively campaigning against the vaccine that allowed this elimination status to be achieved in the first place. That's not how any of this works 🤷🏽‍♀️ www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

Let's check in on the insurrectionist in chief and his "great patriots" Spoiler: at least six have been charged with child sex crimes

Told the guy behind the counter that I thought it was hilarious they made a pie named for the old DC Mayor. He had no idea what I was talking about. Anyway, today I learned there's a fruit called marionberry.

This is unhinged. A 75 year old alliance in NATO is being trashed to serve one man's ego. Trump is not a reliable ally, he's a reckless bully. Starmer needs a plan B to stand up for Britain and our allies.

Trump’s actions in Venezuela set a dangerous precedent. Acting without legitimacy weakens our credibility, divides us at home, and plays right into the hands of Putin and Xi. Clip with @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social

On that dark January 6th, I could have never imagined today's January 6 could look like it does. I still can't understand why millions of Americans wanted it to be this way.

In a nation ruled by supremacy and all its many sabotages of the public good, every act of repair is a defiant act. *Every* act of repair is a defiant act.

This one

.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for what happened on January 6th? Lieu: The White House’s statement is batshit crazy.

Big: Wyoming supreme court just struck down abortion ban. And get this: The reason is a constitutional amendment codifying a right to make health care decisions... passed in 2012 by conservatives who thought it'd screw Obamacare! Quite the backfire. We explained this lawsuit a few years back:

Thom Tillis is welcome to caucus with Senate Democrats & give control of Congress to the only party that does not endorse the Jan 6 coup & the far right authoritarian presidency currently in power. Talk is cheap, & the hour is late. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

WHOA: Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) stands next to image of Jan 6 plaque on Senate floor.. and is noting the pardoned rioters who have been arrested again Tillis: "We let bad people go" Re: plaque Tillis says he'll seek unanimous consent to get approval for THIS version of plaque to be hung

Trump: "You gotta win the midterms. Because if we don't win the midterms, they'll find a reason to impeach me. I'll get impeached."

Never let a single goddamned person on the Right ever claim again that they’re the party of law and order without laughing in their lying face.

.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for the violence on January 6th? McGovern: That’s offensive. What kind of sick human being would say that? I was here that day.

Wrote up my thoughts on all the nonsense replies I've been getting falsely claiming that @schumer.senate.gov can't do anything and I should stop telling him to do more. There's a TON that he can do, as I outline in the piece. And he's doing basically none of it.

should probably be a bigger deal that the vice president's favorite intellectual is a dull nazi bsky.app/profile/leah...

Spot the difference: Iraq vs. Venezuela

🚨BREAKING: DOJ admits it has only released 12,285 documents required by Epstein Files Transparency Act. More than 2 million documents still need to be reviewed/released. DOJ is in violation of federal law that required release by Dec. 19. More from Democracy Docket in am. www.democracydocket.com

Finished my Andean Chullo Hat (pattern & yarn from Knit Picks). It was fun, but I don't think I'll travel to Wisconsin and back again with a project that has 9 colors. It was a lot of yarn to carry on the plane––not to mention trying to dig around in my bag when I had to change colors. #knitting 🧶

i think this is genuinely more likely than an invasion

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

No amount of gaslighting will convince sane and rational Americans that we didn’t see what we saw on January 6, 2021. Let’s cut through some of the bullshit and lies…

So Capitol Police officers were assaulted and injured on Jan 6th, the White House today is blaming them for the violence, and the people who attacked them have been pardoned and are back to mock and abuse them on the 5th anniversary. And the GOP is the party of the police? Really? REALLY??

Trump has kidnapped a head of state and seized Venezuela because he believes in an oil-based world order. Meanwhile, China has become the world’s factory for renewable energy technologies (wind, solar, EVs, batteries).

Let’s not forget J6ers who Trump pardoned were re-arrested for committing murder, sexual assault and soliciting minors.

January 6 wasn't spontaneous — militias that converged there had begun arming themselves and attending social justice protests in the summer of 2020. In this LONG SHADOW: RISE OF THE AMERICAN FAR RIGHT clip, @vermontgmg.bsky.social details why the groups showed up to demonstrations.

Don't let this Jan 6th point get lost: Jack Smith testified to Congress he had "proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election." In other words, he could prove in court that Trump attempted a coup.

This is fucking nuts. North Korea would be embarrassed by this propaganda H/T @atrupar.com

Five years ago, AOC and I hid in my barricaded office as a mob of insurrectionists broke into the Capitol at Donald Trump's bidding. With Trump back in power, the threat he poses to our democracy has never been greater. We fought back then—and won. This year, we'll do it again.

Chris Murphy: "At some level he's winning tonight because clearly part of his intent here was to distract the American people -- you and I -- from what's happening here at home. You have 20 million families who are getting massive increases in their healthcare premiums. People will die."

“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

Seems like every new Epstein files event results in the US bombing or invading someone.

RAJU: Do you regret you vote to confirm Marco Rubio? SCHUMER: I am deeply deeply disappointed in Marco Rubio (Not a yes!)

you could probably capture our president by writing "nobel peace prize" on a pie plate and putting it under one of those boxes held up with a stick tied to a string

Disgusting post from a member of Congress

Absolutely true, and somehow not-discussed point: The US **ALREADY** has all the strategic advantages it could gain by "owning" Greenland. Through treaties and (until now) close NATO cooperation w Denmark The US has a naval base & 'space force' base there. You see USAF planes at Grndlnd airports

10/10. No notes.

MacCALLUM: You have about 100,000 dying from drug overdoses, most of those drugs from from Venezuela and other places CROW: That's actually not true. The majority of the deaths by drugs in America are the result of meth and fentanyl. Almost none of that comes from Venezuela

we've got some ICE shit going down in our little town today and it took like three minutes for a convoy of wine moms to start chasing them around town. normies hate this shit and are putting in the work

100 years from now, people will look at clips like this and be like "Really, that was the guy?"

Not crazy to say there was a much clearer criminal case against MBS, who ordered the murder of an American newspaper columnist, than there is against Maduro.
