Exclusive | Trump stripping the security clearances of numerous antagonists — including NY AG Letitia James, DA Alvin Bragg President Trump has ordered security clearances stripped from a new hit list of antagonists.

I take my inclusion on Trump’s list as a backhanded compliment in response to our court successes against his administration this week. And I intend to return it in the best way I know how: by filing many more lawsuits against his and his cronies’ wrongdoing.

The Washington Post calls January 6 and the events leading up to it "election-reversal efforts." It has gotten Orwellian over there.

I will say again, support independent, pro-democracy media.

JUST IN: The U.S. added 256,000 jobs in December, surpassing expectations and bringing the total for 2024 to 2.2 million. The unemployment rate dipped to 4.1%, and wages grew 3.9% over the past year, far outpacing inflation.

“Although I inherited the worst economic crisis in decades with unemployment above 6% when I took office, we’ve had the lowest average unemployment rate of any administration in 50 years with unemployment at 4.1% as I leave,”

- President Biden

News flash: Trump had nothing to do with any of this

It's not 45 or 47

Going forward it's Trump³⁴

I honestly thought anti-gay rights hateful bigot Anita Bryant died years ago and this proud gay man will continue to not give a single shit about her.

the all but official position of the republican party is that voting for democrats disqualifies you from federal disaster assistance

I want to take a moment to say thank you to all the firemen who are risking their lives to save others in these dire moments.

The firefighters are putting in long, long hours and making little if any headway, due to the high winds.

This is another horrific event caused by climate change.

A street is orange from flames and you can see the high winds in the palm trees. Sparks fly down the street

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

They are taking back campaign promises faster than they made them.

Bye, bitch.

Great letter in today's Guardian. What sort of free speech is prevented by factchecking, Zuck?

That assertion is wrong. The city was in the process of negotiating a new contract with the fire department at the time the budget was being crafted, so additional funding for the department was set aside in a separate fund until that deal was finalized in November. In fact, the city’s fire budget increased more than $50 million year-over-year compared to the last budget cycle, according to Blumenfield’s office, although overall concerns about the department’s staffing level have persisted for a number of years.

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false.

As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.

When we see narratives that blame the most vulnerable people for problems caused by the most powerful, I think it’s important to remember that this viral spread of misinfo is a more pervasive version of what the powerful have always done to defend themselves, with tech they steered in this direction

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.

That is a lie.

The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

Karen Pence wants nothing to do with Donald or Melania Trump.

there's a 0 percent chance Trump would be at Jimmy Carter's funeral had he not won the election. being there is entirely performative for him.

Still wild to me that so many "savvy" folks on left and right have bought into the idea that online misinformation is overblown and doesn't really matter. From lies about migrants to transgender people to crime to election denial to climate denial, it's literally driving our country's politics.

The world needs WAY MORE JIMMY CARTER...

... and WAY LESS DONALD TRUMP.

💙 if you agree and pls pass on.

The @nytimes.com should hire whoever wrote this headline. Seriously!

On this National Day of Mourning, we remember former President Jimmy Carter. The National Park System evolved during Jimmy Carter's presidency to preserve many special places Americans enjoy today.

Today's funeral for President Jimmy Carter is one of the nicest I've seen in a long time.

The speeches were just right, and paid proper tribute to one of the greatest human beings America has ever produced.

Farewell, President Carter.
Thank you for your service. 🙏🇺🇸

Every single thing that everybody suddenly wants to do in Greenland - mine for minerals! use shipping lanes! set up bases! - can be done right now, while Greenland is part of Denmark. The discussion of "occupying" Greenland is just a pointless piece of aggression towards an ally.

High noon. Jan 20th.

A male Painted bunting feeding in the tall grass. Taken today at my local garden in Philadelphia.

Today was a lucky day!😊🌈🌾
I have waited two years to see this Painted bunting, and he finally showed up.

Hard to even process, even more so from above I think

On Tuesday, Hannity asked Don Jr: How do they get a MAGA hat in Greenland?

Don Jr. seemed shocked by the question.

DR reports, "Trump Jr.'s PR people walked around the street in front of the store and handed out MAGA caps" to disadvantaged people in exchange for meals.
