Republicans are not “Nazis.”
Democrats are not “evil.”

Democrats are not responsible for the murder of Charlie Kirk.
Republicans are not responsible for the murder of Melissa Hortman.

Opponents are not enemies. We’re Americans.

I don't know how this is possible but Kash Patel is dumber than I thought

Kash Patel, the FBI Director, has just admitted that he has NOT reviewed the entirety of the Epstein Files.

I think this would be a perfect time to bring back dueling.

“They don’t view an honest discussion of policy as something they need to slow down and do.” We’re digging into the Trump team’s logic, or lack-there-of, with @petebuttigieg.bsky.social.

Not giving up! And please don’t give up on us either ❤️

I repeat my pep talk to our lovely neighbours!

"C'mon, you guys!

"Your country was the first modern republic! A beacon for humanity that has led to most countries being free from absolute monarchs.

"Go out and win it back!"

We are ready for you, sir!

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

The CFPB Has Been Gutted The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,406 employees at the congressionally mandated agency.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

No way they will oblige

An open letter from an American-owned tour company to our Canadian travel buddies 🍁

I think it’s important to be mindful that there are a lot of Teslas out there that were purchased YEARS ago to try and do the right thing for the environment. Like mine. Musk is horrifying, but I bought and paid for this car a long time ago. I don’t deserve vandalism.

Just got this video. The @lafd.bsky.social and @calfire.bsky.social had over 75 fire engines and pieces of equipment in place before the winds started and this is what they faced the first night. Just an insane situation to deal with and blaming it on anything other than nature is ridiculous.

They should have shouted this from the mountain tops. A little bit louder.

LETS DO THIS: Close your Threads, Instagram and Facebook accounts … at high noon on 20 Jan 2025 right after you do it to X.
The #GreatTwitterWalkoff can also be the #GreatMetaWalkoff.

Let’s do it simultaneously and show our power.

EU is mulling legal action against US oligarch Elon Musk over election interference across Europe and backing of neo-Nazi party in Germany.

I don't care what TIME says.

MY Person of the Year is Kamala Harris.

TIME got it wrong.

So did America.

Putin’s Pals Say Tucker Carlson Is Acting as a Secret Back-Channel to Trump Carlson traveled to Moscow to push the Kremlin’s Ukraine propaganda in public, but what was he doing in private?

PUTIN'S PIGEON

While Tucker Carlson is positioning himself as a dove of peace, toiling to prevent a nuclear war, Putin’s acolytes say he is also acting as a carrier pigeon for the Russian president and privately delivering his messages to Trump.

One man admitted he voted for Trump without knowing it was Obamacare that allowed his mother with stage 4 cancer to get treatment.

This is what happens when misinformation wins out over facts.
