The Trump phones are 3 years old and refurbished. The trump are swindlers! l.smartnews.com/p-6IRROlqg/T...

If only Jake Tapper, that titan of journalism, were alive to report on this.

Longtime Sports Illustrated columnist Reilly also wrote the book Commander in Cheat which documented the many ways that Trump cheats at golf.

Last night, President #JoeBiden spoke to young people scrolling social media wondering if they’ll ever be loved, marry, have a family, or be accepted for who they are. His message: Just be you. You are loved. This is what leadership with empathy and decency looks like.

Nice try.

ICE detained a US citizen who was originally from Somalia. They grabbed her because they didn’t like her hijab. She says they sexually assaulted her and said things like “what are you hiding under your hijab” She was held for 24 hours. A US citizen. No one is safe.

Everyone who refuses to vote Democratic is OK with this. What else is there to say? Midterms are coming in 11 months.

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown. Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

> they were “identified terrorist targets” >> neat, you don’t have an AUMF >> even if there were one, they were SHIPWRECKED and hors de combat > we were actually targeting *the cocaine* >> by your own admission IT WAS NOT HEADED TO THE UNITED STATES

An internal list of military targets? Naming everyone on board, fulfilling wartime rules of engagement, ready in time for a covert boat trip, but requiring 40 minutes to justify a second strike? May we see it?

Notably, the judge rules that the government likely violated Richman's Fourth Amendment rights by digging around through his data as part of the effort to build a case against Comey

BREAKING: Judge orders key evidence in (dismissed) Comey case put off limits to prosecutors. Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly (Clinton) grants TRO requested by Comey lawyer/adviser Dan Richman re his data. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

From baked goods at the ‘Newman’s’ Own Country store to the decked out ‘Newman’ Marcus aisles, the season’s festivities were in full swing at the 30th annual Newman Congressional Church Mission Bazaar in Rumford.🎁

"I have never seen the line this long at this food bank, This is 4x the size of every previous year...the line wraps around the building a second time..Everyone is freezing and an older lady in line had to be taken inside because she looked like she was about to pass out from being too cold..."

Dan, voted for Donald, but is shocked as his wife was picked up at her immigration interview (1/2) #leopardsatemyface #Politics #News

To those who asked why we still need MLK Day, Black History Month, or Indigenous Peoples' Day. This is why. Racism has always been alive, well, and thriving in America. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

TRUE!

216 appointees were confirmed by the senate so far in the Trump administration 91% of them are white 84% of them are men The least diverse administration in decades. Are we surprised?

No one mouthes the messages of Russian influence operations more loudly or consistently than Elon Musk. And note how he refuses to talk about his regular direct talks with Vladimir Putin, which as a top secret security holder he is obligated to report to USG, but does not—ever.

perils of structuring your political beliefs according to political winds and issue polls

RFK Jr. is a completely unqualified conspiracy theorist who is putting newborn babies at risk. The reckless decision to end a proven vaccine recommendation has no scientific basis. This guy has got to go.

Trump is planning a nationwide tour to tout his economic policies He is planning to convince Americans that affordability is a "scam" and a "hoax" I'm sure that will be effective! 🙄

A Utah judge Friday refused to halt her landmark ruling that struck down the GOP-led legislature’s gerrymander. The decision means the court-ordered, fairer map — which gives Democratic and independent voters a meaningful chance at representation — remains on track for the 2026 elections.

Why is it that some medicre white dude like the Nazi tattoo bearing Graham Platner who has NEVER held public office or done anything to show he knows how to govern, a man with a history of sexist & bigoted comments in contention for a Senate seat? Why does the press give him a pass? Makes me sad.

Every white person attacking Black politicians? Check their timeline. They have zero smoke for the white felon and the white congressional criminals Weird huh? It’s like they are covert racists.

If your appointment is invalid, you never had the job in the first place.

#GVerse 🚨 #BreakingNews: ICE/Border Patrol just illegally pepper-sprayed a sitting member of congress in Tucson, Arizona.

Admiral Rachel Levine was the first transgender person to be confirmed by the Senate to serve in the federal government. Her official portrait at HHS headquarters has been altered. n.pr/48HypvT

🧵 I’m following up on this 👇 thread with a thread showing Trump has been acting this way for years. Pay attention to the dates. As I said… lazy, dumb, tired and old…for many years now. I’ll start with some dozing in March of 2020, in a Covid meeting when people are talking about respirators. 😒 1/

"What we're witnessing is not reform. It's the hollowing out of an institution Americans rely on in every emergency. The actions will leave the country less prepared for the next foodborne illness cluster, maternal mortality crisis, or emerging pandemic." time.com/7338714/dr-d...

Over on the Facebook, you can bet that whether it's ICE brutalizing immigrant toddlers, or the US military mass-murdering civilians in international waters, every person cheering it on makes sure that you know they are a "Christian" in their profile. Every. Single. One.

in the movies this is the screensaver on the computers at the world’s most evil company

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Snort

Yo, I can't stop laughing at this He "medaled" himself🤣🤣🤣

Damn. It gets worse & worse. Bradley told lawmakers the destroyed boat was to meet a 2nd boat... "which the military was unable to locate. This second vessel was heading for the South American country of Suriname, two sources with direct knowledge of Bradley’s remarks told CNN." 🧾 is.gd/ecPKQZ

This would make a great comedy. World Cup matches are moved from New York and Los Angeles to small-town Texas and the foreign visitors and MAGA locals have all sorts of awkward interactions as they learn to enjoy the games amid madcap hijinks.

How long has thing been a thing now? I.e., how long has Trump had noticeable bandages or makeup on his hands?

It really is amazing that the president has a noticeable an unexplained physical ailment that is disfiguring his right hand and there's no reporting about it. The White House's line is that it's from Trump shaking too many hands! Something is clearly being covered up.

“.. In the White House’s edit, a TikTok-style voiceover replaces Carpenter saying ‘hot’ with the word ‘illegal.’” @latenightercom.bsky.social latenighter.com/news/trump-w...

I don’t know why this is so complicated other than the fact that Americans do not have faith in the outcome of debating moral questions. Calling this a war crime gives first degree murder too much dignity.

The White House surrenders at 138 million views. Sabrina wins.

Vanity Fair will part ways with Olivia Nuzzi, its West Coast editor, at the end of the year. Nuzzi and the magazine have faced a storm of controversy over her past romantic relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary.
