NEWS: Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) raised nearly $3.6 million during the last three months of 2025 for his Senate bid. Here's a full first look at some early Q4 fundraising numbers: punchbowl.news/article/camp...

I bet 90% of Americans don’t even know of this.

Every time a reporter uses the term Post Liberal a Christofascist gets his wings. “”Postliberalism” as a term is really a rebranding of Catholic integralism,” says Catholic fascism expert James M Patterson. lawliberty.org/integralism-...

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Most Americans agree, Trump broke his word and betrayed what he promised the country.😡

A read a thon. I love it

I wonder if MAGA realizes they voted for their white sons to rot in the fields of Venezuela? Kegbreath banned POC, women, and lgbtq from being “war fighters”. That pretty much just leaves white boys. We suck at regime change and have a sad history of fighting guerilla style warfare (beyond the

Far-right strategists like Steve Bannon and the architects of Project 2025 understand that this is how democracy is hollowed out—not by banning voting but by making it ineffective. Leonard Leo and his Supremes have their assignments. MSM yawns. contrarian.substack.com/p/republican...

Before Trump invaded Venezuela, I wrote a long post on things we (me!) should do in 2026. Partly, it's about using the foundation laid by the Epstein files to focus on OTHER corrupt oligarchs Trump is protecting. It's also about making some things more visible. www.emptywheel.net/2026/01/02/w...

There’s always a tweet

It's hard to believe that a President would time an illegal military attack, killing civilians, to distract the public's attention...but today is the statutory deadline for the DOJ to release its report on the Epstein Files. Coincidence?

I’d like to report Russian interference in the White House @muellershewrote.com @dgcomedy.bsky.social

APNewsAlert: HAVANA (AP) — Cuba says 32 Cuban security officers were killed in U.S. attack on #Venezuela.

NEW: I haven't forgotten about the Epstein Files. I've filed my response to the government in my ongoing FOIA battle to get the redaction training videos, and I break it down here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/my-pursuit...

Truth

Scientists Baffled by Marco Rubio’s Ability to Sleep at Night

Almost 20 years ago, I warned we were heading toward a world where states invade each other at will, and that America had an obligation to restore the higher bar for going to war. Not gonna say I told ya so, but...well, okay, I will. There's a reason I chose these quotes to open the book.

So we now appear to be up to at least 80 Venezuelans killed. For an operation that anonymous admin officials said yesterday was"virtually flawless." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Yesterday was the deadline to provide Congress with a full explanation of the Epstein Files redactions... The DOJ failed to comply with the law, again.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

…

Can't wait to hear Mike Johnson explain how he hasn't been watching the news or social media, and he didn't even know about Venezuela.

It's January 4th, 2026 and The President of the United States is STILL an orange-painted 34 times felon, child sex trafficking rapist/pedophile, war-mongering, fascist dicktator, incompetent mentally deranged clown.

Chris Murphy and Adam Smith need to do a town hall for the Nation @katiephang.bsky.social @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social @muellershewrote.com @meidastouch.com

Oooof Anna Paulina Luna from Pinellas County just said your kids won’t be used in a foreign war. She’s also floundering spectacularly. Full on mullet

Like the overwhelming majority of the democratic free world, I share this gentleman's sentiments. 😳👇

It's not war, just forcibly extraditing 2 suspects under indictment. No need to wake Congress from their nap.

Perhaps it was just blood on his hands all along.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up. But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

At some point (*soon*), we have to release ourselves of our need to refer to these actions as illegal. Legality has never curtailed authoritarianism. Unethical. Inhumane. Death dealing. We have so many more words to help with this.

I’m going to show up in person to vote this year. No mail in ballot that can be compromised by this group of traitors. If I have to stand for hours, I will. We all must.

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country? There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

Swalwell: He couldn't run a casino, and now he's going to run a country in South America while he fails to run a country in North America?
