Guys, I know we have another war in the Middle East, but look on the bright side: At least inflation is up, hiring is nonexistent, and the farmers are getting another bailout.

So when he bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, you were cool with that? When he made fun of a handicapped reporter, you were cool with that? When he had a mob attack the capital to steal the election, you were cool with that? But now gas is expensive so you regret your vote? Yeah?

Jerome Powell's SOS summons the cavalry (even waking up some Republicans from their customary torpor.) Smart read from @lizdye.bsky.social in @atrupar.com’s latest PN: open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

ALERT: Jack Smith will testify publicly at House Judiciary Cmte on Jan 22

NEWS: Per Rep. Jim Jordan, Jack Smith will return to Capitol Hill to publicly testify to the House Judiciary Committee on January 22nd.

If Minnesota does bring charges, and nothing is certain on that front, I expect we’ll see a lot of stories like this.

Congrats to Isabeau Levito from Mount Holly, NJ for making Team USA in figure skating for the 2026 Winter Olympics! Looking forward to watching Isabeau compete and make our state proud. Go Team USA!

Today, we were officially notified by USG that Pres Trump's memo that revoked my security clearance w/o due process is no longer in effect over me. My access eligibility to classified info has been restored. On Dec 23, 2025, a federal court ruled his action was unconstitutional. Rule of Law wins!

And, we want our democracy, our rights, our presidency, and our country back, donald trump & Republican/Project 2025-free.

Prof. Justin Wolfers warns: a US president has never before threatened a Fed Chair with jail. It has happened in Argentina, Russia, Turkey and Venezuela. That's how strongmen crush institutions, torch currencies and trigger hyperinflation. This path ends badly.

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

As Trump reaches the end of the first year of his return to power, he and his lieutenants are demonstrating their willingness to deploy force beyond its legitimate use to achieve their aims. The warning is clear and intentional: We are violent. Beware.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

I have to say, as a man with two mothers, I find the derisive deployment of language like "lesbian" and "lover" by those on the far right who are trying to justify Renee Good's death particularly disgusting and dehumanizing. These women. They are wives. They are a family. That's it.

How does the FBI conduct a credible investigation when the President Trump, the Vice President and Secretary Noem have already announced their conclusion? @glennkirschner.bsky.social and I discuss on Substack. Join us: open.substack.com/pub/thefrank...

I will immediately do a max contribution to @aoc.bsky.social if she primaries Schumer This *vocalized* moral clarity is so desperately needed everywhere:

UPDATED LIST of countries the Trump administration has threatened to invade, annex, or otherwise attack in the 85 hours of 2026 so far: 🇻🇪 Venezuela 🇨🇺 Cuba 🇬🇱 Greenland 🇮🇷 Iran 🇨🇦 Canada 🇨🇴 Colombia 🇲🇽 Mexico Insane.

Once you realize he works for Russia, not America, everything he does makes sense. #TraitorTrump

An additional 500 National Guard members have arrived in Washington, D.C., bringing the total deployment to 2,750 troops, according to the National Guard and bringing the cost to taxpayers to roughly $1.6 million per day.

That many MAGAs helping for a normally safe red district tells you everything: the resistance is strong, and they’re worried. Tomorrow matters. Please vote. 💙

Porking fun at the president is the wurst kind of Spam smh

The victims' testimony? Hoax. The hundreds and hundreds of references to Trump in the emails? Hoax. The FBI agents who said they had to redact his name in them? Hoax. Trump's creepy birthday poem? Hoax again. All the photos and videos of them yukking it up together? You got it: H-O-A-X.

Don't do any of this.

NEW: OMG. Halligan shit the bed in her grand jury presentation in the Comey case. She violated the constitution 9 ways to Sunday. Adam Klasfeld and I will discuss LIVE on substack in about 25 minutes. Muellershewrote.com

The only person whose standard of living has improved during this Trump term is Ghislaine Maxwell.

It’s not about who you know, it’s about what you do. City Hall will soon be known as a source of support for New Yorkers — and an example of what our best and brightest can achieve.

This likely won’t be the last intelligence sharing suspension we see over this - based on the publicly available evidence, these strikes don’t come close to meeting the threshold for deadly force.

While our airports are in chaos, the Transportation Secretary is flying to a campaign fundraiser for his son-in-law.

In the 2 weeks after Mamdani won in June, 10k ppl signed up with @runforsomething.net to consider a run for local office - our biggest surge *ever*. Like it or not (& I do!!) he's shaping the future of the Democratic Party. If you want something different, get other people to run.

Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

Why do people buy pizza with EBT? Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money. It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

It is now illegal to be anti-Trump. - per Dicktator Donnie.

Trump’s America: FBI Director is taking govt jets to watch his girlfriend sing, president is in Palm Beach holding Great Gatsby balls after golf, we are murdering people in boats while refusing to show proof of guilty, govt is shut down, airports are a disaster, prices are up.

Decapitations at Heritage. All staffers who expressed reservations over Kevin Roberts' embrace of Nazis and antisemites are being fired. The message is pretty clear.

When JPMorgan alerted the Trump administration to the existence of $1 billion in funds Epstein held which were clearly connected to child trafficking, Trump responded by suppressing the information. Why?
