Are we great yet?

Mike Kennedy (R-UT) talking about how his children benefited from Medicaid and he himself grew up on SNAP and is now explaining why fewer people should have access to these benefits that helped him so much.

Perfect Republican.

The lobby bar is packed with heads, Shakedown Strings, playin'.... Double margarita, and so it begins...

Like the beginning of a Marathon...
Or the 1st course of a 7 course tasting menu. Hold on tight and remain grounded...

Fight ALL the fights We have nothing left to lose — let’s f**king act like it!

If you read one thing today read our latest piece we just posted. This one is a very important one. Please consider reading and sharing it with your friends, family, and neighbors. And as always, please share your thoughts and ideas. I am also going to post all of the text here as a thread. 1/

House Republicans released a draft budget that aims to cut $2 trillion in spending.

The programs impacted could include Medicaid, SNAP, and education programs.

Why the cuts? To finance another round of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s weapons stockpile, sources say | CNN Some of the fired probationary employees included on-the-ground staff at facilities where nuclear weapons are built.

More details on this shockingly sloppy episode.

Richest guy in the world is doing this

WEIMAR+STATEMENT FRANCE, GERMANY, POLAND, ITALY, SPAIN, UNITED KINGDOM EU HIGH REPRESENTATIVE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND SECURITY POLICY We are ready to enhance our support for Ukraine. We commit to its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia's war of aggression. We share the goal to keep supporting Ukraine until a just, comprehensive and lasting peace is reached. A peace that guarantees the interest of Ukraine and our own. We are looking forward to discussing the way ahead together with our American allies. Our shared objectives should be to put Ukraine in a position of strength. Ukraine and Europe must be part of any negotiations. Ukraine should be provided with strong security guarantees. A just and lasting peace in Ukraine is a necessary condition for a strong transatlantic security. We recall that the security of the European continent is our common responsibility. We are therefore working together to strengthen our collective defense capabilities.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks.

This is leadership.

It’s also unprecedented.

A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk's Government Takeover Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

If you’ve been wondering what Elon Musk and his lackeys are up to since taking control of the US government, look no further. Our latest story names six 19- to 24-year-olds working with his DOGE organization, which now has access to sensitive federal systems. wrd.cm/4jzpiSN

Democrats, thank you for putting your trust in me. It's the honor of my life to serve as your next DNC Chair.

Now we’re going to pull ourselves together, work as one, and fight for the American people.

Mr Trump, what caused air disaster

“We do not know what led to this crash”

Why do you believe it was because of diversity

“It just could have been”

“Because I have common sense, OK”

Donald Trump has no idea what caused the crash

But his “common sense” tells him a Black guy must be responsible

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

I assume every Democratic member of Congress knows that not one word uttered by Kash Patel—under oath or otherwise—can be believed.

It's difficult for me to articulate how untrustworthy and dangerous the man is.

If America collapses in the next year, him being the FBI director would be one reason.

Mike Johnson represents a state whose largest city was built below sea level behind levees sandwiched between the ocean and a massive river on hurricane alley, but he doesn’t want to give aid to CA because their policies invite natural disasters.

Sen. Thom Tillis will be remembered by history as a coward. For not, let us work to see that he is defeated in Nov. 2026.

The January 6 pardons are turning out great.

After one week of Trump’s presidency, it’s clear we’re entering a Golden Age in America...

Trump’s proposal to strip birthright citizenship from those born in this nation is unconstitutional.

In Illinois, we follow the law.

This is only the start of attempts to undermine the rule of law, and Illinoisans can count on me to stand against unconstitutional actions.

Pete Buttigieg gives me hope

Screenshot from a 2020 BuzzFeed News story that reads: One employee who spoke with BuzzFeed News after the event was not comforted by their CEO’s words. “He seems truly incapable of taking personal responsibility for decisions and actions at Facebook,” they said.

As someone who spent years reporting on Zuckerberg, I've struggled to find something coherent to say about today. Then @cwarzel.bsky.social reminded me of my old reporting.

This is what a FB employee said to me in 2020 after Zuckerberg addressed workers following FB-enabled violence in Kenosha, WI.

As we approach Jan 6, I had a discussion with officers Michael Fanone, and Harry Dunn, about that day, the conspiracies that won’t die, and the way forward. Although my audio is horrible, theirs is great. Take a listen and click to watch:
