The president against remote work has been at his house in Florida for 3 weeks.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize. “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

A must-read message from Colin and Sophie Hortman, Mark and Melissa's children:

"SMR lobbying of governments worldwide for taxpayer money. Why? No private investor will touch nukes with a ten-foot uranium rod." #GreatRead

I don’t understand how the first reaction from leadership isn’t “This is an impeachable offense. My colleagues must defund Hegseth and begin drafting articles immediately.” Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?

Lest anyone for a single moment thinks this latest coup is a somehow a dramatic breach of long-term US foreign policy.

This is a lie. If you want media that puts you first above their advertisers, corporate interests and Donald Trump, forget the legacy outlets. Support independent, pro-democracy media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

To repeat: this has never been about his concern for birds.

I am writing about how useless Big Law has become in the fight for democracy and I came across this from 2021. It was bullshit then -- the SWAT teams never existed. But it's notable that firms like Paul Weiss felt the need to act like they cared. Now, they don't even need to pretend.

Both of the homes Trump claimed as principal residences in the ’90s were used as investment properties and rented out, according to an interview with his longtime real estate agent — exactly the sort of scenario he’s pointed to as evidence of fraud.

They broke it so they could say it is broken so they could kill it. What a plan!

More out of touch rhetoric coming out of the White House. My health insurance premium just went up over $1000 per month. A one time refund of $1K-$2K is not “gignatic”.

#GreatRead "for my children and the women who raised me"

Trump: "We have a fool at the Federal Reserve. I mean, Biden reappointed him. It's too bad. You would have thought he wouldn't have done that." (Jerome Powell was appointed by Trump)

#MustRead It's happening AGAIN!!

50 ICE agents swarming a public library to arrest one person. This isn’t policing — it’s authoritarian spectacle. Armed intimidation, fear as policy, and taxpayer money burned to terrorize communities. This is fascism in plain sight. #TrumpWatch #Resist

Bullshit. I served in Congress with Mike Turner. He knows what side Trump is on. He knows Trump is on Putin’s side. He just doesn’t have the guts to say that publicly.

#MustRead "In American law, corporations are creatures of state laws... In fact, corporations have no powers at all until a state government grants them some."

THE NEW MONDAY COUNTDOWN PODCAST DROPS AT MIDNIGHT: When do we start bombing RUSSIAN "terrorist scum who have been targeting and viciously killing innocent Christians in" Ukraine? Trump says we're bombing terrorists to protect Christians in Nigeria. We are in the Crusades business now. Let's go!

Let me be explicit. If you hear anyone say replacing fossil fuels with renewables is going to be expensive, they're either misinformed, uninformed, or lying to you. Even leaving out the massive economic costs of #climate changes caused by burning fossil fuels, #renewables are cheaper now.

“Woman Enjoying Career Literally Made Possible by Feminism Declares Feminism a Failure”

A third of the women in the maternity ward have life-threatening complications that could be treated simply with food. They suffer from anemia and high blood pressure. Their babies are born early, weighing too little and with underdeveloped lungs.

NYT doesn’t get it. He’s terrorizing nonwhite people, seizing imperial power, perverting the government, and spewing hateful lies. This is pro-Trump gaslighting.

Usually I can’t wait for a sequel but…

"Swaths of the Permian Basin appear to be on the verge of geological malfunction." An unfolding disaster, shielded by centrist pundits who tell us to "support America's oil & gas industry." Here's an idea: The oil & gas industry should support America, not wreck our land, air, & water.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington

Remember: There's always strength in a union. Solidarity.

Don't forget what real leadership looks like...

An e-bike registration bill is speeding through the New Jersey Legislature after several crashes in which drivers killed young cyclists.

WHO GIVES A DAMN? It’s a public service, right there in the name. It exists as a public good for all the people in this country. It’s not supposed to turn a profit, you dolts. Go audit the Pentagon and see what kind of return on investment we’re getting there.

He is promising, on camera, to break his oath to the Constitution by illegally and unconstitutionally usurping the exclusive authority of Congress. Sprinkle in a little 'blowing up the Union' to boot

I’ll take immigrants over pederasts any day.

It is beyond naïve to believe that China and India would ever choose relatively expensive imported US LNG over their own secure, cheap stores of domestic coal. Yet on grounds of this absurd belief lies the argument that expanding US oil and gas production reduces emissions. 🤡

Wrong. The First Amendment protects our right to record law enforcement activity in public — full stop.

Trump and Stephen Miller kidnapped innocent people of color and just sent them to die in a foreign prison. Oh American taxpayer dollars - 6 million of them - went to pay Bukele of El Salvador for this dirty work.

"The Constitution of the Roberts Court is not color-blind. It is a Constitution that permits discrimination on the basis of race, but forbids alleviating discrimination on the basis of race." Thank you @mnasca.bsky.social

To be clear, this should be one of the biggest scandals to ever reach the presidency. DOJ - after illegally scrubbing Trump from the Epstein files - is retroactively removing files they missed that would be embarrassing to the President. It’s a complete affront to Justice.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Sadly, Trump can't do anything correctly.

Appalling and alarming:

You are either on Team Release Everything (except for victim info), or you are a pedo protector. And everyone satisfied with this obvious cover up is on Team Pedo Protector. There is no middle ground. That is who you are.

Media lying is now utterly commonplace.

This week the Westlands Water District board approved the Valley Clean Infrastructure Plan to develop 21 GW of solar + 21 GW of batteries on 136,000 acres of the west Central Valley into solar farms, with over 400 miles of new transmission lines and substations. ☀️🔌💡 ceqanet.lci.ca.gov/2024020124/3
