"Our interest, I think, very much is in NOT going to war with Iran.  It would be a huge distraction of resources. It would be massively expensive to our country."

A PSA from Thomas Massie:

Never forget. Never.

Shameful—but in a way useful. No one should any longer pretend we have a “Department of Justice.” We have a Department of Trump.

Met @jamestalarico.bsky.social with my son this evening ✨️ Wish I could have had even 5 minutes to talk to this guy. Can't wait to vote for him - first this spring, then in the fall! Go James!!

Skydance, parent co of Paramount & CBS, complied in advance. FCC chair, Brendan Carr is flexing so CBS barred Colbert from airing his interview with TX Senate candidate, Rep. James Talarico
Therefore, don't share this link of the Colbert interview with @jamestalarico.bsky.social
It'll make Carr mad

There're lots of songs like that actually.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

The man who told reporters it’s time to move on from the Epstein files won’t shut up about the 2020 election.

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., rolls out his demand for supporting a DHS appropriations bill: fire Stephen Miller

Raphael Warnock speaking to reporters

Raphael Warnock: “I can’t think of something more un-American than a federal law enforcement agency that can:

Enter homes without a judicial warrant.
Patrol our streets in unmarked vehicles.
Demand papers at random.

ICE has become a threat to our American freedoms”

Lies, violence and the American state Trump abhors democracy because it allows ordinary Americans to reject his lies. Even worse for Trump, it allows us to reject him.

Authoritarianism prevails not because people stop believing the truth, but because they stop saying it aloud. If we wish to remain free, we must refuse that silence. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/lies...

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

Joseph Goebbels or Stephen Miller?

Trump is selling pardons every week to people who pay $1-2 million to his PAC and is approaching 2,000 corrupt and disgusting pardons less than a year into his term, but yeah “no one is above the law.”

Flashback Kamala Harris: “Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him.”

Stephen Miller, who wants the U.S. to steal Greenland and shake down Latin America, says: ”We live in a world … that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”
That‘s a criminal pretending that a civilized world is impossible.

For Trump, the Epstein Cover-Up Beats the Truth As one of her first acts as Attorney General, Pam Bondi wrote a letter to the new head of the FBI, Kash Patel, demanding that the “full and complete Epstein files” be delivered to her office by the ne...

Despite a statutory deadline requiring all of the files to be released by Dec. 19, 5.2 million documents remain to be reviewed and disclosed. It’s likely that the final public release will not occur until the end of February — one full year after Pam Bondi ordered the release of the records.

The Year America Broke Open It would be silly to pretend that 2025 was not among the most challenging years this country has faced in modern times.

"2025 was tough. It was painful. This was the year that America broke open. Now the seedy interior of what lies within so many structures of power in our country has been revealed. It is not pretty." -- @sifill.bsky.social

I've fallen down a rabbit he of Aes Rock. Couldn't think of many better places to spend.. an epoch?

@joeheller.bsky.social

Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator?

This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.
