This will be Mitch McConnell's legacy. He refused to convict the man who has no business being in the White House.

McConnell never does what's right, he does what gives the GOP more power. Initially he thought he'd finally crossed a line and they wouldn't be able to get away without impeaching him, then when the dust settled he decided they could. Unfortunately he was right.

I blame the crooked Supreme Court. www.jurist.org/commentary/2...

Say his name: Mitch McConnell Top of the Blame Chart. Officer Harry Dunn laid it out perfectly in a recent podcast.

you can thank Senator Coco Chow for abysmally failing our democracy, TWICE!!

Hakeem Jeffries talking in inarticulate circles on the Last Word tonight clearly demonstrates the need for new Dem leadership. We have the bench strength in the party to do so much better. We need strong messaging, a compelling plan and leaders able to inspire.

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

Democracy Now! reports flu cases are unprecedented because of increased reluctance to vaccines. Not only increased sickness but also deaths as a result. Family member, RN, replied to me that vaccine effectiveness is a matter of opinion. My reply was "glad you're not my nurse".

Trump might want to reign it in a little bit. His psychopath is showing.

.@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.

You can break the chain of transmission by wearing an N95:

And you should place the blame firmly where it deserves to go: Republican anti-vax quackery is directly to blame for this. Countless needless deaths are directly their fault, and the longer this regime and RFK are allowed to hold power, the more deaths there will be.

“These viruses are serious, dangerous, and life-threatening. We are seeing children who are seriously ill, families grieving devastating losses, and hospitals under capacity strain.” www.cnn.com/2026/01/05/h...

Disgusting Dr. Oz claimed masks didn't work during the pandemic. 2023: "Our data showed a dramatic decrease in influenza rates during the 2020–2021 Flu season, which corresponded to NYS’s strict social distancing and mask requirement ..." pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

There are twice as many flu cases in NYC this year, than last year. The Flu is ripping through out the Country.

I see no discussion of how uninsured Americans can obtain flu and Covid vaccines. It’s expensive and it’s hard to find places to get them. This should be the opening line - push for universal healthcare! This is a choice by politicians and our press.

How is it moderately severe when people are dying. “I’m sorry but your family member has passed away to due a moderate case of severe flu.”

Authorities at the CDC are now calling this year’s flu season “moderately severe,” with an estimated 11 million illnesses in the U.S. so far.

.@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.

If a workers union is good enough for LeBron James and Angelina Jolie It is good enough for you to do also

Do not take vaccine advice from RFK Jr. or any of his cronies

The Wrong Question About Venezuela steadystate1.substack.com/p/the-wrong-... "...[It's not what such an occupation would do to Venezuela. It is what it will do...to our military, our institutions, our constitutional order, and our understanding of who we are when we wield power beyond our borders."

One thing that remains constant is Trump seeking immediate gratification without regard for long term consequences.

The whole “transgender for everyone” lie is so nonsensical. The only time I’ve heard of a school going behind parents wishes was when a Christian private school in my city baptized a bunch of kids without telling the parents. It made the news.

The money comes from us. I think that is comes from the Small Business Admin might even give a MAGA pause. National Security Strategy p 18

$100 billion to pay for rebuilding oil infrastructure in Venezuela? We could all have solar & EVs & save the planet instead.

Tapper (representing many today) is awful. The proper follow-up is “It was a part of Denmark 500 years before the Americas were even colonized. Why should it be taken?”

He is one of, with Musk & Thiel's money. We need to organize in a way they can't foresee or control. My deviant inner teenager wants to f🍁ck some shit up. Smash fire drop freeze burn grafitti sink them to financial ruin & eventual irrelevance.

My pinned post from after the 2024 election laid it out- It’s a triumvirate of hemispheric control. They’ll all control their own and they’ll divvy up Africa and continue arrangements with the Saudis and leave Israel to contend with her neighbors unassisted. It’s truer every day.

Why has the democratic establishment never taken the right wing propaganda war seriously? Why do they reflexively go back to policy? The right gives zero fs about policy.

Technocracy looked for large areas with bountiful resources to enable self sufficiency. A "technate" is a large body of land governed by a technocracy that only needs minimal trade. Technocrats had a strong belief in continentalism. Elon's grandfather was active with the movement in the 1930s

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

lmfao-this idiot doesn't even know HOW Greenland became part of Denmark! AND FACT CHECK: The US had 30 military bases in Greenland and now only have ONE. So clearly we didn't think it was a "vital national interest" for America. Fucking morons.

Insanity: Sources close to the White House told the Washington Post Trump lost interest in backing Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado to lead the country because she accepted her Nobel Peace Prize rather than demanding it be given to Trump, which was viewed as an “ultimate sin.”

President no new wars is threatening to seize Greenland again. A day after raiding Venezuela and a week after bombing Nigeria. And MAGA is still talking about how he’s the peace president 🤦‍♂️ fucking idiots

This shouldn’t surprise anyone. He also decided to raid Venezuela because Maduro was dancing on TV. He doesn’t make decisions based on the reality on the ground - he makes decisions based on his ego. Always.

The worst people you know are fighting

This nation was cooked as soon as it decided that insurrection and an attempted coup were not immediately disqualifying in a Presidential candidate. The bottom line is that every single republican wants fascism and a significant number of people on the left think this is tolerable.

So just in case that police officer had stopped being doxxed and/or receiving death threats from these ppl, here they’ll come again. My guess is that the threats have never stopped for Pence. We’re seeing how history would’ve been written if the Confederacy had won.

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

I compiled some thoughts on Venezuela, and more importantly, the insane rhetoric since the attack. Unlocked for everyone: www.patreon.com/posts/147513...

Five years ago today, 18 journalists were assaulted while covering the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, @pressfreedomtracker.us reported. On Jan. 20, 2025 — the first day of President Donald Trump’s second term — nearly everyone charged in connection with those assaults was pardoned.

Five years later, and it still bears repeating: January 6 was a heavily armed insurrection.

“Peaceful protest” on 1/6

A thread responding to the ridiculous White House lies about the “peaceful protest” on January 6.
