I guess the guy who claims he “ended, like, 8 wars!” will have to revise his count.

This.👇 God bless the journalists doing this investigative work. Try to be less snarky when their research confirms and itemizes the depths of depravity of bad people.

Everyone say a little prayer for @atrupar.com who, I am sure, will be dutifully watching the State of the Union tonight so we don't have to.

"Texas Republicans are expressing alarm about a GOP state comptroller candidate, Don Huffines, for secretly purchasing a New Mexico ranch owned by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein." www.thecentersquare.com/texas/articl...

👀 A cryptic new letter from Senator Ron Wyden to the CIA director.

For years I believed we needed our own version of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. I now believe the first step in perfecting our Union is our version of the Nuremberg trials. Maybe center it in Minneapolis and hold all cruel federal public officials accountable.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Reminder that in solidarity with today's anti-ICE general strike in Minnesota, I am donating all proceeds from today's newsletter to People over Papers, the Midway-Hamline Diaper Bank, and Every Meal. Sign up for PN through the links in this edition 👇 to support good causes.

House Republicans attacked a decorated career prosecutor today His offense? Exposing the truth of Trump's Jan 6 wrongdoing Jack Smith played it straight—because that’s what professionals do I explained on @weeknightmsnow.bsky.social 👇

Does Jim Jordan own a suit jacket?

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy. Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

This is beyond parody. @nytpitchbot.bsky.social

SNL Cold Open, Saturday, Jan. 17. Stay for Colin Jost’s Pete Hegseth. youtu.be/vvX_02EGYl0?...

So much crap gets swept under the MAGA rug.. This happened a month ago!!! Was he part of the crime? uk.news.yahoo.com/jared-kushne...

Republicans have come a long way from whining about “participation trophies” to this guy, who is so desperate for any sort of validation that he doesn’t recognize how sad this is.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Strange that the NYT would speak with Trump for two hours and not ask about the DOJ's failure to release the Epstein files, in violation of the law.

NEW: Statement of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Trump’s criminal investigation into him. He says they are seeking an indictment over his Congressional testimony, but calls it pretext to pressure him into lowering interest rates.

AOC on the "fundamental difference" between her and JD Vance: "I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street."

LT Gov. Flanagan: She had stuffed animals in the car for her child, for her six year old child

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

Two sources tell MS NOW that the woman shot by ICE in Minneapolis was a U.S. citizen.

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

The Moron Doctrine, it is

Marco Rubio: "It had to be done. And it's been done. And I assure you the people left behind in Venezuela now that are in charge of the police and everything else, I assure you they are gonna probably be a lot more compliant than Maduro was as a result of this."

“Ideologically” not needed here.

Moulton stepping into the Democratic leadership void. Need more of this — TODAY.

The president is running Venezuela the right way. By Ezra Klein

The Epstein files are not in Venezuela

This is too “spot on.”

For over two thousand years Christians have been warning us about the antichrist. When he finally shows up, they vote him into office. Twice. 🤦🏻‍♂️

thedemocraticcoalition A president who has kinder words for Vladimir Putin than Rob Reiner does not deserve to lead the free world.

Meanwhile, DOJ wants to push the first public hearing for accused pipe bomber Brian Cole past the date (January 5) when 5-year statutes of limitation would expire. legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Zelensky arrived in The United States and nobody from the Trump administration went to the airport to greet him. Putin got the red carpet treatment from Trump because Putin is willing to give the Trump family billions in bribes to sell out Europe to the Russians. substack.com/@jakebroe/no...

“Russia wants Ukraine to succeed.” Donald J Trump, December 28, the year of our Lord 2025. Actual real quote from the dumbest man

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

Ratio me. Please. It's a badge of honor. If you don't like a link, go follow some chicken-heart who needs the approval of the thought-police. Caitlin Flanagan of @theatlantic.com is a tremendous writer and this piece is an excellent read. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

Who could this be?

This does not pass the sniff test.

In fairness, I remember him screaming at us to like him in the 90s.

Hi everybody, It's Black Friday, a big day for us at The Onion, since we rely almost entirely on your memberships. Our goal for 2026? More print subscribers than the Washington Post. This is, somehow, feasible. So sign up! A year of print is $75 for the year today. Help us do a very funny thing.

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

Imagine the level of outrage if President Obama had walked past an American flag on the ground outside the White House. Conservative media and Congressional Republicans would have been apoplectic. For Trump it's just a Monday. www.newsweek.com/american-fla...

Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't. Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.

“Can I picture this person comfortably campaigning with overnight shift workers, senior center residents, and club goers at 3am?” is tbh actually a pretty good way to measure whether a candidate has what it takes to go everywhere effectively.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"
