TMRising

Newsom kills it with his trolling.

Himes: They posed zero threat to anyone in the region, and we killed them.

Koh: This is not about justice. This is about power. This is about a Secretary of Defense so drunk off alpha male bullshit that he's willing to take lives to get off on that power.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

This is so messed up… Amnesty International reports that detainees at Alligator Alcatraz (and at another facility, Krome North Service Processing Center) describe being placed in a “punishment box,” a cage-like structure in the yard so cramped that people could not sit, lie down, or

in the epitome of IRONY maga is boycotting Costco cause they are suing TRUMP. They literally want to boycott the store that wants to give then Cheaper prices cause of their boys fuckup. You just can’t more stupider than that

Himes: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service ... any American who sees the video that I saw will see the US military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

STEWART: “Turns out, Trump is for YOU… if you’re a personal friend… or if you donated a lot of money to him… or if you promised not to reveal anything incriminating about him…”

The most corrupt regime in our nation’s history.

The Trump they're getting isn't the one they voted for.

Hmm. Ghislaine Maxwell is filing a habeas petition challenging her incarceration PRO SE (no lawyers). I guess even David Markus has his limits? Incidentally, she's worried that the release of the Epstein files would be devastating to her case.

'Some of you are probably fine with it’: Newsom confronts business elite on Trump The California governor used financial power brokers as a foil during an interview in New York City.

Gavin Newsom lit into an audience full of financial power brokers today, criticizing what he cast as their complicity with Trump’s agenda. He told attendees of the New York Times DealBook Summit that they should look into the kneepads he’s selling, in parody, to those “groveling to Trump’s needs.”

One shameless lie after another.

Pete Hegseth

Admiral Bradley is set to brief Congress tomorrow on the boat strikes—

Which brings Admiral Holsey’s recent resignation to mind, after he informed Hegseth that he had no intention of carrying out an illegal order after 40 years of service in the U.S. Navy—

I’d like to hear Holsey’s testimony too

Russia sends stolen Ukrainian children to North Korea to become militarized.

Turns out Representative tradwife is not so fun

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Congratulations to Justin Crosby (D) on his election victory in Mississippi CD22 — he flipped the newly redrawn seat by defeating the incumbent with approximately 53 % of the vote.

This win is part of a broader shift after court-ordered map revisions aimed at increasing majority-Black districts.

If only there had been signs that a group of below average men who espouse misogynist views and are led by an adjudicated rapist would treat their female colleagues poorly.

This makes my blood run cold.

Leavitt’s citizenship comments clash with SCOTUS

Karoline Leavitt: “You’re either a U.S. citizen or not — You can’t be a U.S. citizen & a citizen of another country.”

The Supreme Court: It ruled in 1967 that the government can’t strip U.S. citizenship unless a person voluntarily relinquishes it.

Newsom’s comms team still going hard

AOC: This is how our healthcare system got deregulated. People talking about Americans should have the personal choice of getting totally fleeced by insurance companies.

A new video captures masked ICE agents in unmarked vehicles swarming the mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew before hauling her away. There’s no way this was random.

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election.

As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

What a coincidence that, in addition to their passion for American politics, they also happen to be monetized.

I'm glad the GOP is full Groyper and white nationalist now. Just let it all out. Tell the world who you are.
