We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025.
Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.
BREAKING NEWS: In a shocking moment, Karoline Leavitt MOCKS the El Salvadoran immigrant mistakenly deported. “Based on the sensationalism of many of the people in this room, you would think we deported a candidate for Father of the year.” She’s despicable.
They don’t care.
They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family.
They don’t care.
They think it’s funny.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk Would love to see you talk with @dnealz.bsky.social US Comedian, Journalist, and podcaster. He’s been listening to your show and reflecting on it in his podcast - The Rush Hour. 😃
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.
ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.
This wonderful gentleman is Arthur, and he needs our help. Arty was relinquished to a vet clinic last year with a tumor on his eyelid and signs of neglect. For over 6 months we've been working on getting him healthy enough for his eyelid surgery and it's finally time! donorbox.org/mmfs-arthur
This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.
Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province
When Rupert Murdoch’s rags turn on you …
Lucky for him, he still has the treasury to rob.
If you don’t think Trump is taking over the US Mail to do away with mail-in voting, you haven’t been paying attention.
"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump

What’s going on with #reddit? Musk attacks!
Via reddit:
A lot of Leopards around today. A lot of people who thought sucking up to a bunch of gangsters would somehow give them influence.
How do you face fascism? I like Orwell's version: ground yourself in direct and immediate experience, trust your senses, find some joy, turn back to face the fascists and tell truths to combat the lies.
What would I do? Senate, House, DNC & Dem Govs EACH need to have a Rapid React WarRoom staffed 24/7/365. They need to have a rotating Senator, Rep, & Gov on call all times to post video, TikTok, statements & do interviews. Pressers are old, tired & mostly useless.
Welcome to 2025.
Democrats clearly have to respond to Trump in a different way. Here’s a plan to do it.

I agree with Tim Snyder: it is time for Democrats to form a Shadow Cabinet just like they do in the United Kingdom
Wait. I just googled this and this is absolutely 100% what Democrats need to be doing. How TF have we not done this yet.
I cannot believe there are still people out there challenging those of us who call Elon Musk the American co-president. I do not use that term as a moniker or a calumny or a joke or a speculation. It is fact. The evidence points toward that conclusion as the only responsible one.
