Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

This article is worth your time. The more we understand the weaknesses of this regime the better equipped we are to fight it.

🧵 1/We have to drill into people that it isn't Trump, or Preacher Johnson, or the Corrupt Roberts Court. It is BigMoney Republianism. When they pass laws loosening Child Labor & food inspection, they are fighting Theodore Roosevelt and Progressives.

In that way she resembles her spouse on the topic of immigration

For real. What a lame headline.

MOM SAYS YOU HAVE TO PLAY WITH ME

Also, hounding Franken out of the Senate? This a difference between the GOP and Dems. (Franken should never have resigned.)

I don’t know if he’s dying or not, but I do think something is seriously wrong with him. The White House is insulating him more and more, and he’s rarely seen walking anymore if they can help it - almost all of his media availability is done with him sitting. That’s a big difference.

Via Richard Tofel‬: "What it’s like getting comments these days from the regime in Washington." "Comments" in this context means giving the people involved in a news story the chance to respond before publication. link.propublica.net/view/5f0a0ac... Here's a case I found particularly creepy:

So in spring, Pam Bondi said there was nothing to the Epstein investigation, then “closed” it. Now, they “find” 1 million more docs. So did she close this without seeing these docs? Or was someone hiding them?

Nice 😑

WASH POST: “Corporate bankruptcies surged in 2025, rivaling levels not seen since the immediate aftermath of the Great Recession, as import-dependent businesses absorbed the highest tariffs in decades.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

If the Epstein files provide the proof and that proof is being hidden from us, I have not choice but to believe every word coming from the victims. Simple really.

Anyone paying even the slightest bit of attention could see that was happening.

Praying for all in Kyiv. Perilous situation in Ukraine. The war criminal Putin must be stopped at any cost. "Russia launches mass attack on Kyiv. The large-scale overnight strikes hit residential buildings. Much of the city is now without power amid freezing conditions." @cnn.com

🇺🇦 Zelensky: In this war of Russia against Ukraine, we want peace, and Russia is demonstrating a desire to continue the war. If the whole world – Europe and America – is on our side, we will all stop Putin together.

Tesla is facing its first annual sales decline in China, the world's largest electric vehicle market. While the drop may appear relatively small, it signaled deeper trouble in a market where competitors like BYD and Xiaomi have posted record growth. /1

Not sure I understand why the Trump administration cares about Christians in Nigeria and not Christians in Ukraine

Russian media claims Moscow is still demanding the entire Donbas in talks with the US, including areas Russia failed to seize. Russian media say the Kremlin rejects discussion over Kramatorsk–Sloviansk, floats limited land swaps, and calls US coordination with Europe a sign of weakness.

I wrote this a year ago and it hit a nerve. It is still relevant today: Each time I have sat down to write something I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I cannot get out of my head. So, this week I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

163 years ago in Mankato, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history. I’m grateful to the riders who continue to remind us the importance of fighting for accountability and healing for the Dakota people. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Dear DOJ, You had 6+ years to vet the Epstein Files while you hid them behind lock and key. Don't tell me that a single document is fake. #EpsteinFiles @thejusticedept.govmirrors.com

I get it, Kitara, she’s a prosecutor and as President, she sure as shit would not have pardoned your fucked up, felonious ass.

The Epstein scandal will be the biggest scandal in history if unraveled all the way. Billionaires, bankers, politicians … from across the world.

PHILLIP: “We’re either a free market, or an economy that looks like China or Russia where you have to go to one guy to get answers on everything. If that's the kind of country you want, get ready for the next president who doesn’t wear your shirt color to do it.”

Putin is reportedly floating a temporary ceasefire to stage sham referendums in occupied Ukrainian territories, according to Axios. The report says talks show progress ahead of a planned meeting between Zelensky and Trump, but control over Donbas remains the core dispute.

Woodward & Bernstein's first Watergate scoop literally contains the sentence "The White House did not comment." Gift link: wapo.st/49d2tQr

Yeah 🤷🏻‍♀️

It doesn’t fix things, but it really does bring me comfort to know how miserable some of the worst people are. Donald Trump tweeting over 200 times on Christmas. Billionaires fighting with strangers online during the holidays. Everything about Elon Musk

I am so glad he will be retiring.

The third paragraph reads as if the Russians wrote it. Maybe they did. In any event, it is an atrociously big lie; 1984-grade, as Aaron Rupar rightly says.
