"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

So, which is it?

If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained.

And if it was classified, then the Trump administration lied to Congress and to the American people.

Opinion | Trump Is Hiding Something on Ukraine When you don’t call things by their real name, there is usually a reason.

Tom Friedman on point here, though he understated the case. Either Trump is the worse negotiator in all the universes of truth and fiction, or he is beginning an alliance with Russia with a joint attempt to subjugate Ukraine (and then much else).

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

This. Unbelievable. Did he forget who actually started this war?

Trump’s tax agenda outlined by the White House today will add at least $5 trillion to the debt, potentially much more. Per new analysis by nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. www.crfb.org/blogs/trump-...

Grateful for judges like U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour (a Reagan-appointee) who is defending the rule of law and calling out lawlessness in this Trump Administration. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Of course it’s a coup Miss the obvious, lose your republic

In all seriousness…

Disbanding the FBI’s counter-terrorism division while simultaneously volunteering to level Gaza doesn’t seem to be a coordinated action.

February 3, 2025 I’m going to start tonight by stating the obvious: the Republicans control both chambers of Congress: the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Even as we are all wading through a massive fire hose of news….and figuring out what matters and what doesn’t…the takeover of the treasury dept payment system by Musk posse is one we should pay attention to.

February 1, 2025 Throughout now-president Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign, it was clear that his support was coming from three very different factions whose only shared ideology was a determination to destroy the federal...

This. All of this.

Federal Judge Temporarily Halts Trump’s Federal Grants Freeze Read more here.

NEW: The Trump Administration rescinds its controversial memo that ordered a freeze on all federal grants and loans. This follows multiple lawsuits challenging the memo’s legality as well as a federal judge’s decision to temporarily block the freeze.

A must-read. This’d be worth creating a Facebook account just to read—and I know what a claim that is to make.

It’s a bracing essay about Elon Musk by someone very close to him.

(This is very much _not_ about me, of course, but I’ll say that if you ever doubted my writing on Musk, this will help.)

I find this to be more a replacement of Twitter/X than Meta. I won’t post much personal or family stuff, and I mainly follow news and political posters I’ve grown to trust for accuracy and sound reasoning.

Also yes project 2025 was always the plan.

Federal district court judge temporarily blocks Trump's birthright citizenship order A federal district court hearing Thursday in Seattle was the first action in what promises to be a protracted and wide-ranging battle over the new administration's agenda.

On Trump’s birthright citizenship EO: “I’ve been on the bench for over four decades," Judge Coughenour, a Ronald Reagan appointee, said. "I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order."

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

It’s 25 degrees in Kansas City where the Chiefs and Texans are playing for a full stadium. Guess it’s only dangerous when it’s an inauguration.
