Making the dinner announcement at Davos

Maasdam: What we’re doing overseas — spending billions of dollars a day. In two weeks, we probably spent $25 billion. We had an Ayatollah Khomeini to start, and now we have a new Ayatollah Khomeini. And how is this making things in my district more affordable for people? It’s not

NEW: Desperate to pass the SAVE America Act, Trump-world figures are drumming up support in any way they can. Their most recent tactic? Using the FBI’s 2020 election probes to pressure senators into advancing the sweeping voter suppression bill.

Complacency is why we are where we are today. You owe it to yourself, your family, your community, your country, the fucken world! You simply MUST be involved in our democracy or it will die. The midterms can turn the tide! VOTE BLUE! Thank you, Ms. Jenifer Lewis.

Still no censure of Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine, or Andy Ogles, who are openly promoting hate against Muslims while the US is bombing Iran, killing the Ayatollah, and people like Lindsey Graham are calling it a "religious war" DURING RAMADAN. How do you think this all ends, folks?

Kat For Illinois Statement on Dismissal of Charges Against Two Defendants in Broadview Case:

Cui bono?

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants. They are good for society and the economy.

Really feeling this today. Anyone else?

@jaketapper.bsky.social just said antisemitism exists on both the far-right & far-left. Get it straight. The far-right traffics in actual antisemitism. Criticizing Netanyahu & his predatory Govt. is not hatred of Jews. Blurring that line actually protects extremists & shuts down legit criticism.

I have houseplants that would have done a better job of keeping us out of an unnecessary war that caused prices to rise.

In January, I joined 100s of Marylanders in Hagerstown who made clear they did not want an ICE detention facility near their community.     While Trump’s lawless ICE operation continues to ignore public sentiment, this is an important ruling.   The fight continues.

Tennessee Republicans gerrymandered the state to carve up metro Nashville into three different congressional districts, and this is the result -- a large Muslim community whose own "representative" is now endangering them.

It's time to ask the 2019's US Attorney for the southern district of NY, Geoffrey Berman, why he told New Mexico officials to stand down on searching the ranch then, "because the Feds were going to do it". As the Feds never once set foot on the ranch in 2019. What are Berman's ties to Epstein?

Ed Krassenstein Just hours after Trump told Oil Tankers to enter the Strait of Hormuz, regardless of Iran's threats, an oil tanker is reportedly targeted and decimated by Iran in the Persian Gulf, just past the Strait of Hormuz. Trump's horrific advice may have just gotten people killed.😢🤬

Did you know trump had the DOJ shut down the search of Epstein's New Mexico ranch during his first term in office? James Comer told the story on Fox tv. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Step 1: "We would never do that. " Step 2: "They probably did it to themselves" Step 3: "It's under investigation" Step 4: "It was an accident." Step 5: "They deserve it, anyway." When the US bombs schools, it deploys the Israeli tactic of lying to our fucking faces.

The Orange Turd's narrative and timeline about the #EpsteinFiles

$3.7 billion in 4 days is the cost, so far, for war with Iran. Unbudgeted. Unauthorized. Unaccountable. But somehow there’s “no money” for healthcare and food assistance. Follow the money-follow the power. This is what "American First" actually looks like! #IranWar

Are there any voting experts/lawyers who have really looked at the SAVE Act and are talking about it on here? Brennan Center? @marcelias.bsky.social? It sort of looks like it might require everyone to re-register to vote w/ particular ID. Which is... completely insane, if so.

Nathan Cavanaugh, DOGE staffer w/ no expertise in federal grants, was in charge of cutting funds at the National Endowment for the Humanities using a flawed ChatGPT keyword search. Not reading the grants. Not evaluating the work. Just scanning for keywords & cutting funds. #ProudBlue 📹: 404 Media

To the "I didn't vote for this" folks. You voted for a convicted felon. A twice-impeached president. A man found liable for sexual abuse, who tried to overthrow an election. And now gas prices are surging, we're at war, and soldiers are coming home in coffins. This is what you voted for. All of it.

This is madness, but it fits the authoritarian mindset. Remember when Saddam Hussein’s subordinates all had mustaches? www.themirror.com/news/politic...

Six years ago WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Despite tens of millions of deaths, the world has not sufficiently addressed the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, and we are more vulnerable to future pandemics due to anti-science officials leading government agencies around the world.

Yesterday, Jeffrey Epstein's former account testified, under oath, that the Epstein Estate paid a settlement to one of the women accusing Donald Trump of raping her as a minor, AFTER Epstein had died. This would end any other President instantly. But the press doesn't care.

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed. Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)

The military’s own investigation has preliminarily concluded that the U.S. is responsible for this attack and the deaths of scores of children. Trump claims he doesn’t know about it.

Absolutely, flabbergastingly insane.

“Rights advocates said they were alarmed by the proposal, which they saw as part of a drive by the administration to place homeless people in institutional settings against their will.”

Today's Litigation Tracker updates: -17 states sue Ed Dept, argues new data collection requirements for colleges is unlawful -AAUP v. Rubio: Judge denies govt’s request to pause sanction remedy protecting noncitizen AAUP/MESA members from retaliatory deportation

This should be our cue to bring it up at every opportunity, and amplify it! 📢 share.newsbreak.com/hnf9mf35?s=i16

From meme coins to our nation’s 250th Anniversary, Trump continues to enrich himself off the backs of working Americans. www.notus.org/donald-trump...

Whaaaaaat?

It is an insult to all of us this toady is our Speaker. Dereliction of duty.

#epstein .....🇺🇸.........👇

Trump is letting huge corporations that suck up to him evade antitrust enforcement. State attorneys general should fight back by filing their own lawsuits to break up Live Nation/Ticketmaster and block Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros. Enough of Trump's oligarchy.

I’m sure Couchy will be so happy.

“You can feel it rattling your eardrums,” Devan Jenkins, who lives in Memphis’ Whitehaven neighborhood, said while describing the sound of the turbines that power one of Elon Musk's xAI data centers. “It makes you feel like you're going insane.”

Wallowing in hedonistic luxury while regular people starved is how so many rich people in power ended up losing their heads during the French Revolution. Of course, since education, including studying history is "elitist" according to MAGA, I guess they'll have to learn this for themselves.

Mike Johnson blatantly makes stuff up: "We had information that they might well fire on us and it was imminent, and that it would hit our personnel. We could not wait for mass casualties on the American side."
