As our January 6th Committee report showed, many heroic Americans stood up to Donald Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election. But the Big Lie did not stop after January 6, and we need to be ready as Trump and his loyalists work again to undermine our free and fair elections.

“It is a sad fact—but a fact nonetheless—that we have in the White House a fundamentally anti-American administration. But that is the world in which we live for now, and dealing with it is the task patriotic Americans face.” www.thebulwark.com/p/january-6t...

“The Trump administration has decided to prioritize the Western Hemisphere over Europe and East Asia, a decision that empowers the United States’ two most powerful geopolitical rivals: Russia and China.” www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-obs...

What a disgrace.

“If merely reminding troops of their legal obligations constitutes misconduct, then we are no longer talking about good order and discipline. We are talking about intimidation.” www.thebulwark.com/p/why-mark-k...

Our health care system is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable. 60% of people are living paycheck to paycheck. Instead of trying to "run" Venezuela, Trump might try to do a better job running the United States.

Everyone; the former deputy director of the FBI.

Some basic facts: Venezuela produces about 1 million barrels of oil a day. (US, 20m.) But it has what's probably biggest reserve in world at 300 billion. It will take massive investments (and years) for Venezuela to significantly increase its output. Who will do that? Who will pay for that?

Trumpian imperialism in action: kidnap the head of the regime, leaving the rest of it in place so as to access the oil reserves for the US companies. Then realize the oil is actually quite expensive to extract, so go ahead and SUBSIDIZE the oil companies. Perfect. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

subect of conversation at dinner last night in Poland: will Danes shoot Americans? Some thought yes, some thought no

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

From the wife of the deputy White House chief of staff. Our NATO ally Denmark needs to worry that Greenland could be the next target of the “Dunroe Doctrine.”

GS: “Sen. Warner said you can’t argue drug trafficking charges demand invasion in one case while issuing a pardon in another…”🤔 @marcorubio: “Maduro was indicted.” GS: “Hernandez was CONVICTED.” RUBIO: “I wasn't involved in the pardon… I've got other things going on.” 🤷🏽‍♂️

Trump campaigned on an “America First” platform. Now he wants to "run" Venezuela? 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable. Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.

Congress, Now More Than Ever, Our Nation Needs Your Cowardice https://theonion.com/letter-to-congress/

UPDATE: *peace president* Trump bombs Venezuela… (after pardoning an ex president of Honduras for drug trafficking) This is about oil (+ distracting from Epstein), not drugs. “international condemnation followed US military strikes on Venezuela”: www.trtworld.com/article/ab57...

On April 11, 2025, Trump said he had taken four cognitive exams. Then, this morning, Trump said he had taken a cognitive test for the “third straight time.” So how many times has he taken this cognitive test, exactly?

Five million pages. Hundreds of lawyers. Endless “newly discovered” files. This isn’t transparency. It’s a slow-motion cover-up. The Epstein case isn’t going away—and neither is Trump’s role in it. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Mamdani: "I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little & expect even less — I will do no such thing — the only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations"

Fascinating quandry for Trump: does he care more about getting along with Putin or bringing down Maduro? www.nytimes.com/2026/01/01/u...

Trump abandoned his duty to defend the Constitution on January 6. It was a profound betrayal of American democracy. And Republicans, MAGA, and right-wing media have tried to erase one of the most treacherous acts in US history.

And @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty tried to give themselves millions of dollars for receiving these calls🤔

This WSJ article adds some fascinating context to the NYT article that has the mother of a 14 year old model brought to Mar-a-Lago for a party having Maples come up to her and saying keep those girls away from these men and my husband. Maples denies she said it.

Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd. Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage. Another reason for Medicare for All.

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats. It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re getting the shaft. Know the truth.

Read about the new scholarship on Spain, then contemplate the fact that Franco was venerated in the National Review from the start, and you hav a skeleton key, opening up the fact that "modern American conservatism" never maintained a meaningful distance from fascism. www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

Yule irony.

This is yet another chilling example of how far the Trump administration will go in service of his billionaire enablers. Hate speech and harm to kids online have exploded, and now the administration is targeting those working to combat it. Their greed knows no bounds.

The “60 Minutes” we have known is dead. The fearless program that many of us grew up with was strangled by corporate titans seeking favor with the Trump White House. I don’t know what is next for the storied franchise, but it will never be the same. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/60-m...

Very normal for a future president.

Scott Pelley slams new CBS boss for canning 60 Minutes segment: 'Not a part-time job' www.rawstory.com/scott-pelley/

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism. That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Since I’m getting “what did I miss” from alot, Paramount Plus, owner of CBS spiked the El Salvador CECOT prison story yesterday on 60 minutes because it made the White House look bad. Cancel paramount plus Censorship. Bari Weiss

Todd Blanche ADMITS he had a hand in moving Ghislaine Maxwell, which required a waiver of her sex offender status.

Ukraine keeps defying the possible through tactics we have never seen before. We must keep putting pressure on Russia. Speaking with @phillipspobrien.bsky.social

Statement from Maria Farmer: “This is amazing. Thank you for believing me. I feel redeemed. This is one of the best days of my life. Of course, it's mixed with the fact that I'm devastated about all the other little girls like Virginia who were harmed because the FBI didn't do their job. 1/

Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!

“It was not unanimous. I was muted and not allowed to speak.” 🤔

There are a lot of stories like this that seem not to effect the overall narrative of the war for some odd reason. www.theconcis.com/p/novorossiy...
