Strongest signal yet from Colorado Gov Jared Polis (D) that he'll give clemency to Tina Peters as President Trump has demanded. Polis notes a fmr Dem State Senator recently got probation on charges that drew prison time for Peters, who unrepentantly defied the judge at sentencing

It's by no means the most important piece of the whole Paramount mishegoss but I feel like we don't talk enough about how Larry Ellison looks like 2010s Mickey Rourke got stung in the face by like 200 bees

It's like they read a book about the Gilded Age and thought, wow, we should do all of this again -- tariffs and trade wars, massive corporate power, white supremacy and immigration fights, a creepy sex panic and, of course, unlimited acts of brazen corruption and graft.

1. The American people were under no imminent threat from Iran. Its government does not have nuclear weapons. It was no more threatening to Israel or any other US ally than it normally is.

Justice Department rescinds Biden-era ‘no-knock’ warrant policy Policy launched after the police killing of Breonna Taylor restricted when law enforcement could burst into a home without knocking.

Trump's Deputy Attorney General has rescinded the Biden Justice Department's policy that tightly restricted when law enforcement agents executing a search could take the exceptional step of bursting into a home without knocking first — known as no-knock warrants. www.ms.now/news/justice...

Welp I guess there’s no way to earn the votes of young men other than by courting and vocally backing the three fraudulent industries that are absolutely ruining their lives.

Why does Secretary Noem’s “deportation jet” need a fancy bedroom?

News: Commanders across dozens of U.S. military bases told troops the war on Iran is part of "God's plan" so Trump can bring about "Armageddon"

News: so Trump can bring about "Armageddon." The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) has been "inundated" with complaints since the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran over the weekend, receiving more than 110 complaints from U.S. military personnel stationed at dozens of sites across the Middle East. Journalist Jonathan Larsen broke the story, sharing specific complaints made by troops. One such complaint made by a noncommissioned officer reported that their commander had "urged us to tell our troops that this was 'all part of God's divine plan' and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ." "He said that 'President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth," the NCO continued. "He had a big grin on his face when he said all of this which made his message seem even more crazy." MRFF told Larsen that over 110 complaints came

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has received 110+ complaints from US service members across 30+ sites about commanders using religious rhetoric

Including calling the war with Iran "part of God's plan" and Trump "anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon”

Holy shit. These people shouldn’t be near sharp cutlery, let alone seats of power.

Trump helps MAGA influencers flee Middle East war zone on private jet Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz, dogwalker Sarah Daither, former lobbyist Jay Footlik, and others managed to escape on a private plane thanks to the White House.

The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.

Once again there is this assertion that disabled/high risk/immunocompromised people live in a vacuum, like we don’t have healthy family members around us or caretakers who desperately need to stay healthy to avoid endangering our health or becoming disabled from their next Covid infection.

CDC panel votes to limit who is eligible for this fall's Covid vaccine Only people 65 and over or with underlying health conditions should get the shots, the advisory group recommended. There may be insurance roadblocks for others.

This is super cool bc:

1) Many of the highest-risk conditions, like ME/CFS & Long Covid, aren't on the list

2) The best way to protect the vulnerable is to protect the population so others don't infect them

3) None of this accounts for Novavax which is not mRNA

Trump, suffering from dementia, is confused about where his father was born. It was in the Bronx, not in Germany. Trump's grandfather was an immigrant who came here after getting kicked out of Germany for evading the draft.

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

BLUMENTHAL: Is the agent who shot Ms Martinez sill on the job?

NOEM: Our officers conduct operations every day-

B: Is he still on the job carrying a gun?

N: I dunno

B: Would you agree he shouldn't be?

N: I'll get back to you

B: I think Americans would find it absolutely terrifying if he is

I made a bingo card

the burden-sharing thing was always about not wanting to support Ukraine, you could see this most clearly in the SignalGate leaks where JD Vance was grousing about strikes on the Houthis "bailing out" Europe (when obviously those were mostly "bailing out" the Saudis & Israelis not Euros)

My research is on working class women and AI and the ONE consistency among all of the interviews we’ve done so far is concerns about data centers and environmental impact. We do not bring it up - they do. Every single one.

Meet three scientists who said no to Epstein The warning signs included a web search, a mother’s doubts, and inklings of a “sexist attitude”

This is a nice contrast to all the awful behavior confirmed through the Epstein files. Proud of @jenlucpiquant.bsky.social & @seanmcarroll.bsky.social for picking up on the sexism & charlatanism right away.

The MAGA Plot to Take Down Canada A growing movement of MAGA-pilled Albertan separatists would happily break up the country to be closer to Trump.

Figures like Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon, who has explicitly compared Canada to Ukraine, see Canada as a bastion of decadent liberalism in the West that must be broken and subdued, one way or another. trib.al/smNKS6J

This thread on Alito's outrageously misrepresentation of the facts in the NY voting rights case is so damning. Alito's account was misleading to the point of falsity. And there's nothing anybody can do about it. He gets to toss around bogus claims without any consequence.

Transgender People, “Gay Conversion,” and “Lesbian Extinction”: What the Data Show A couple days ago (on Christmas, actually), The Telegraph ran a piece with the provocative title: “Lesbians facing ‘extinction’ as…

since The Atlantic is apparently reviving the "a was a feminine gay child, but if I was a kid today they would have 'transed' me" trope, here's an essay I wrote back in 2020 explaining why this is not true & there is no evidence to support it: juliaserano.medium.com/transgender-...
