I’ve never seen an American elected official fight so hard to starve people.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

Character isn't something you tell people about.

It's something you live.

‘Flagrantly Unconstitutional’: Letitia James Slams DOJ’s Political Prosecution, Asks Judge to Toss Charges Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) Friday asked a federal judge to dismiss the felony charges against her, arguing that President Donald Trump and his political appointees at the Department of Justice (DOJ) are selectively and vindictively prosecuting her.

Excellent review of Mistletoe Murders and Newport Christmas. Especially loved your new song Christmas in Maine!

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

This Is Fascism

Meiselas: So if this 17 trillion he keeps talking about exists, what account is it in? Did he steal the 17 trillion?

Subramanyam: I’d love to see his math on that. I’d love to know why it’s not being returned to the American people if that’s the case.

Spot on.

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

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.

Kimmel didn’t even really say anything negative about Kirk. He noted the cynical and almost giddy exploitation of the killing by right-wing propagandists, absolutely accurately, and in gentler terms than I would have used.

Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd.bsky.social) Father, friend, believe love conquers hate, and truth wins over prevarication.

@msnbc.com must reinstate Mathew Dowd @matthewjdowd.bsky.social , Mathew is a true American whose hopes are to unite all off us. For you to fire him for making a common sense statement about hate leading to hateful actions is in no way derogatory of Kirk or Trump. Bring him back now.

Ah, this was Yamiche Alcindor — a Black woman of Haitian heritage? I’d been wondering and should have guessed, because Trump’s hatreds are as predictable as the sunrise.

Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.

A Democratic super PAC is launching a $700,000 digital ad blitz slamming Susan Collins for opposing a bipartisan bill that would ban members of Congress from trading stocks.

This ad accuses Collins of “the worst kind of greed… using insider information to trade stocks.”

Texas Republicans passed their extremely partisan gerrymandered map in the dead of night.

Why?

That’s when spineless thieves operate.

Here’s what was NOT released today:

- the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ

- the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed

- communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison

- the Epstein files

And more from Newsom.

"Democrats have to come to the table with values." Senator Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social sets the record straight on headlines that said he is boycotting budget talks, and clarifies that Democrats shouldn't give away their votes when Trump is acting lawlessly and ignoring Congress.

"Straight out of the Twilight Zone." Rep. Jimmy Gomez explains why the conditions he witnessed at an ICE facility in downtown Los Angeles felt staged after months of being denied entry to conduct an oversight visit. "That's what we knew would happen if we gave them notice."

"Blatant lie and a cover up." Rep. Jimmy Gomez calls out ICE for cleaning up their facility before his oversight visit.

Cycle of life baby.
