Chris Christie: โ€œThie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. Thatโ€™s what it is.โ€

Joe Biden is a class act. Trump reviles him nonstop yet Biden praises Trump for the hostage release.

Iโ€™m sure the people who were *pissed* that Hunter Biden sold paintings are equally furious about Barron Trump reportedly being tapped for the TikTok board.

Right?

โ€ฆright?

Holy crap. This is terrible.

The article states it's "not related to the current U.S. government shutdown". But of course it is: they are both connected by the GOP destroying everything good about this country from the top down and the bottom up.

North Carolina GOP announce plans to vote on new House map amid nationwide redistricting battle The plan announced Monday comes amid an emerging mid-decade battle nationally between Republicans and Democrats seeking advantage in the way U.S. House districts are drawn in several states for the 2026 session.

North Carolina Republican legislative leaders announced plans Monday to vote next week on redrawing the stateโ€™s U.S. House district map, with a likely aim to secure another GOP seat within already right-leaning boundaries. https://to.pbs.org/4ne0roc

What did Tom Homan do with the $50K he took in a CAVA bag from undercover FBI agents?

Just keep asking this everyday. Its a big scandal they can't escape because Pam Bondi and her DOJ killed the investigation. They're cornered on this and the Epstein Files.

Iโ€™ve seen this movie before โ€” and I didnโ€™t like the ending. NC Republicans gerrymandered me out of my seat and cost Democrats control of Congress.

Now theyโ€™re coming for Don Davis. They couldnโ€™t beat him at the ballot box, so theyโ€™re going to cheat. Thatโ€™s not democracy โ€” itโ€™s rigging the system.

The only violence Iโ€™ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.ย 

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

Anyone who's ever been to Portland knows how on brand this is. The big takeaway should be that this is the blueprint for how to counter Trump's campaign of violence. What they've done is show exactly how absurd Trump's actions are and they simply don't know how to respond to a frog being beaten.

A North Texas community will vote to form a city in an effort to quiet down a crypto mine Leaders of the effort say they moved to rural Hood County for its quiet country charm, which was shattered by what locals call โ€œthat roarโ€ from the facility.

โ€œBut ever since a noisy cryptocurrency facility moved in about half a mile away in 2023, he said their rocking chairs have mostly sat empty. Other nearby residents also say they donโ€™t spend much time outside anymore because of what many call โ€œthat roar.โ€โ€

Velshi Banned Book Club: Filmmaker Alex Gibney on the frightening relevance of Orwellโ€™s warnings A brand new documentary from director Raoul Peck and producer Alex Gibney is a timely film centered around the writings and warnings of author George Orwell. It warns the โ€œnewspeakโ€ of authoritarian rule is very much present in the current day. Gibney joins Ali Velshi to discuss the importance of Orwellโ€™s works โ€“ especially at this point in history. โ€œAs a man of the world, he saw patterns of abuses of power, and he realized that they repeated themselves over and over and over again, across borders and through time,โ€ Gibney says. โ€œThat's what makes Orwell's writing so compelling, is those simple patterns that repeat themselves over and over and over againโ€ฆIt's a very bleak vision of the future.โ€

"The erasure of history is a way of unmooring us from what we know to be true, until suddenly the very idea of fact is somehow challenged," says @alexgibneyfilm.bsky.social of George Orwell's ever-relevant warnings against authoritarianism. "It's a very bleak vision of the future." #Velshi

Stephanopoulos is always weak on research. He should have corrected VP Maybelline.

Co-founders of Pro Publica are Paul Steiger (former managing editor of WSJ) and Marion Sandler, a banker and philanthropist, who was co-CEO of Golden West Financial Corp, for 43 years

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."
