Some Republicans must have amnesia β€” because instead of remembering how fearful they were for their own lives, they’ve spent all day attacking Jack Smith for doing his job and stating the facts.

At Davos, Trump called the liberation of Europe β€œstupid” & allies β€œungrateful.” As a former U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council member, I find this rhetoric dangerous. It recasts the defeat of fascism as a failed real estate deal & undermines the alliances that have kept the world stable for 80 years.

Trainwreck? In October 2024, The Economist called Biden's economy "the envy of the world."

Trump here makes clear that he executed an official actβ€”a pardonβ€”with an expectation of "LOYALTY" from the recipient of the act, with his definition of LOYALTY as he executed the act being that the recipient of it would either never run for Congress again or not run as a Democrat.

Trump’s $2 Trillion Plan to Cash in on Ukraine β€˜Peace’ Leaks A Wall Street Journal report details how profit is at the center of Trump’s β€œpeace” talks.

Trump's Ukraine "peace" plan is a profit scheme: let Russia keep stolen territory, rebuild for U.S. gain. That's not defending democracy-it's selling it off.

(PS) For those counting at home, this will be the SECOND illegal war Trump has STARTED (Iran).

This does not count his THREE very seriously THREATENED wars against Greenland, Panama and Mexico.

He has ENDED a grand total of ZERO wars.

And he is demanding the Nobel Peace Prize.

Republicans say Democratic lawmakers are causing discord and distrust by reminding service members to follow their oath.

I think what's bringing discord and distrust is the America first movement online is a bunch of bot farms coming from Nigeria, Russia, and Iran.

Supreme Court issues emergency order to block full SNAP food aid payments The Supreme Court has granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown.

The lengths Trump will go to keep Americans hungry knows no bounds.

190. SNAP WTF? A very quick explainer on what (and why) Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

Read about WHY Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order. Her move is probably the best solution for getting SNAP benefits approved quickly. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

This dilapidated jackass spent years poking fun at President Biden's physical condition, and now droopy mouth sleepy don is falling apart.

Karma is truly something to behold.

As news breaks that Trump is federalizing the Illinois National Guard, keep in mind that ICE is already terrorizing Chicagoans. ICE raided an apartment complex, which led to American citizens being pulled out of their homes and children being zip-tied together.

Just an FYI: We’re not facing a β€œgovernment shutdown.” This is a Trump-MAGA Republican shutdown. Call it what it is.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Bishop Barron paints Charlie Kirk as Christlike. That's not based in reality. Charlie Kirk didn't deserve to be shot, but we shouldn't make him into a martyr or an example of Christian compassion and discourse. But that's what Bishop Robert Barron has tried to do, writes Tulio ...

Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. We're seeing how the extreme wealth concentration is distorting politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of billionaires.

RFK Jr. and Trump tell us they want to Make America Healthy Again.

Great slogan. I agree. Unfortunately, they are doing the exactΒ opposite.

Vaccines work. They are safe. They save lives.

No more conspiracy theories. Β Kennedy must resign.

Dangerously, President Trump and HHS Sec. Kennedy are wreaking havoc on our already broken and dysfunctional healthcare system.

You don’t make America healthy again by throwing 15 million people off of their health care and undermining science.

Secretary Kennedy must resign.

What we’re witnessing in this country is textbook authoritarianism.

Trump thrives on targeting those who are least able to defend themselves, exerting control and cruelty to tighten his grip on power.

To think it ends here is naive. We cannot let this go on any further.

32 USC Β§ 502(f)(2) would violate Article IV of the Constitution if applied to support deployment of un-federalized out-of-state National Guard troops into a state that didn’t want those troops there, as with Trump’s proposed use of the Texas National Guard to invade Illinois

We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.
