Ethel Cain reposts statement made by Instagram user @rbreich: “Big Oil buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.” Ethel Cain adds to the statement by saying “#Kill More CEOs”

Ethel Cain criticises the United States Congress in new Instagram story:

“Kill More CEOs”

A phone picture looking at an apartment building with a few palm trees in front of it, near dusk. The sky is still blue, but looming behind the building in the distance is an enormous cloud of smoke from the Palisades Fire near Los Angeles. The smoke is stained orange from the sun behind it.

🧵 I live in Los Angeles. We have not had to evacuate and are safe, but like many people here, I have friends who have lost everything. I realize I can't combat the firehose (see what I did there?) of bullshit spewing about this disaster from internet and media sources, but I'll say this:

James Woods went on CNN and started crying about his house burning down and smacked talked the response from officials in California for the wildfires.

But his house is still standing.

Is he gonna praise firefighters and thank Gavin Newsom now or nah?

Or even apologize for lying?

TikTok will be banned in the United States one week from today unless the Supreme Court decides otherwise or the app is sold.

One of America's most famous cities is on fire and the richest man in the country hasn't paid a penny to assist people whose lives have been destroyed by the fires.

He has, however, been busy spewing disinformation and encouraging people to loot. Because worthless trolls are like that.

KNOW THIS: Altadena is a predominantly African-American community community where Black families were redlined into. It’s not the Palisades, but losing homes, livelihoods & generational wealth is equally devastating.

Communities targeted by redlining have historic reasons to distrust government.

Ariana Grande confirms to Variety that ‘Wicked: For Good’ will have a new Glinda song, written by original composer Stephen Schwartz.

“It’s a pivotal moment in Glinda’s journey. It shows a side of her we’ve never seen before.”

Only two video game adaptations have ever crossed $200M at the domestic box office 💰

NEWSMAX host deletes lie about the fires after Governor @GavinNewsom calls him out 👇🏽

Thank you to Canada for helping California right now. You are wonderful and good people. 🇨🇦

Mexico and Canada Are Sending Firefighters to California to Help Put Out Wildfires Air tankers, firefighters and technicians from the neighboring countries are on their way to Los Angeles in a show of solidarity.

“More personnel and equipment from Ontario, Quebec and Alberta are ready to be mobilized, according to government officials. And a team of senior technical staff members from British Columbia will fill specialized roles, the government said.”

This is a fascinating turn of events

Ariana Grande tells Variety that, despite rumors, she has never been in talks to play Megara and says Liz Gillies is her casting choice:

“That would be a fantastic role for her”

JUST IN: Another team of Mexican firefighters has landed in LA to help combat the wildfires.

Thank you, Mexico 🇲🇽🇺🇸

A federal judge today held Rudy Giuliani in contempt for failing to turn over information to two former Georgia election workers he defamed after the 2020 presidential election, as they continue to try to collect $150 million in damages.

Today is January 6th and no one is watching the Capitol be plundered, feces being smeared on the walls, and police officers being stabbed with American flags.

Why? Because one side believes in democracy no matter what, and the other side only believes in it only when they win.

The leader we should have had

VP Kamala Harris: "Today, I did what I have done my entire career, which is take seriously the oath that I have taken many times to support and defend the Constitution of the United States."

On todays substack, @denverr.bsky.social and I discuss some of the “behind the scenes” of the Jan 6 committee, and address head on the conspiracies from that day that continue to circulate. Take a look!
