The Jan 6 plaque has finally been hung at the U.S. Capitol

Happened at 4am

Happened three years late due to politicized foot dragging

Meanwhile, we have in the office as president a supposed buffoon who got there by saying horrible things he'd like to do out loud, all the while treating these "outlandish" assertions as jokes and his supporters laughing along.

wild that this has to be said but it's true, unrepentant puppy-killers should not have the kind of power and discretion now wielded by Kristi Noem

These people think callousness signals strength, when all it signals is braggadocio masking weakness

Why the Epstein Investigations Took So Long and Did So Little

So in other words, powerful people allowed Epstein to rape with impunity, and the FBI is utterly inept:

Let me guess, wealthy people who moved to Dubai to avoid paying taxes now want the countries they moved from to protect them?

You know what Americans loathe more than high grocery prices? Big Government telling them what to eat. And they hate rich f*cks who can afford the pricy stuff telling them to eat the stuff they don't like. (For the record, I love liver)

Senator calls for DEA to provide info on "incredibly disturbing" Epstein drug investigation Federal drug enforcement investigators targeted Jeffrey Epstein and 14 others in a yearslong probe first reported by CBS News.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

The bravest person in Congress is Democratic Rep. Al Green. He always speaks truth to power as he did last night during the fascist State of the union holding up a sign to Trump's face that read "BLACK PEOPLE AREN'T APES!" He was ejected from the State of the Union for daring to defy Trump!

Trump hasn’t said a single thing about how he’s going to improve your life. All theatrics, no substance. It’s all about him and his ego.

Rep. Al Green just stood in the center of the chamber, holding a sign that says "Black People Aren't Apes."

Last year, Tesla, Ticketmaster and Palantir made billions of dollars in profits, but paid ZERO in federal income taxes.

Do you think Trump will address this outrage at his SOTU address? I doubt it.

A blue bird with a white face, black beak, black necklace and white underparts stands on a thin branch preparing to launch and looking directly into the camera against a bright blue sky. Its crest is slicked back and it has a very determined expression on its face as if nothing in the world is going to stop it.

Donald Trump has enough money to:

- Renovate his $400M Qatari jet
- Give Amazon a $7.8 billion tax break
- Send Kash Patel to party at the Olympics

But YOUR refund on his illegal tariffs?

Trump says eat dirt.

A Prerecorded Slur Isn’t an Accident

BAFTA had time.

Time to review.
Time to edit.
Time to decide what the world would and would not see.

And that’s why this moment landed the way it did for so many Black viewers.

Katyal: "We didn't specifically ask for refunds bc our legal time saw as a matter of course, if we win the case we do think refunds will come back. We are today launching a task force to fight for those refunds. We will fight tooth and nail for them if the federal govt tries to hold that money back"

Going Deeper: The Real World Impacts of Trump's Cruelty See the damage through the eyes of Mary

You don’t experience politics in speeches.
You experience it in grocery bills, canceled classes, hospital closures, and family stress.

My new column β€œGoing Deeper” looks at one ordinary day β€” and how Washington follows people home.
