I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

That's insulting to Lumpy! 😆

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

JB Pritzker: “Whenever the president talks about somebody critically, it’s often projection about what he himself is insecure about. Each of the things he said about me, they’re all true about him. I can take it. I am not afraid of this president.”

The Fear Factor The right and the left both use fear to drive politics, but the difference in how is striking

These are scary times, and it’s okay to feel afraid. The challenge is learning how to respond instead of retreating. This piece offers insight into managing that fear and transforming it into courage, understanding, and tangible steps forward.

Sen. Ruben Gallego says the impacts of the shutdown pale in comparison to the calamity that would ensue if the Obamacare subsidies expire: “If we don’t get ACA tax credit extensions, over 100,000 Arizonans are going to double their premiums on their health insurance. That’s painful and permanent.”

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Mike Johnson ignores a question about when he'll swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva and walks away

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him.

Poke the bear, Donnie. See what happens.

Greta Thunberg has more courage & moral clarity than any world leader I have ever seen.

Bar none.

Period.

That tiny 22 year old is often accused of being annoying, but what she is, is unyielding to moral ambiguity. If it’s wrong, she says so until someone listens.

She deserves the Nobel Prize

Congress erupts over "lawless" Trump threat not to pay back furloughed federal workers "Congress will make this call," said one House Republican. "We will pay the workers."

Members of Congress in both parties bristled Tuesday at a White House memo arguing that federal workers who have been furloughed as part of the government shutdown are not necessarily entitled to back pay.

This strikes me as pretty bad

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him.

(…because he literally incited an insurrection)

luke_null: apparently chicago restaurants are refusing to serve ICE and now they are all hungry, sad lil gestapo. maybe they should consider eating shit?

Aww, poor babies.
Maybe their wives should've packed them a lunch... oh, that's right. They're all typical unfuckable incels or the classic example of abusive, disgraced law enforcement whose spouses left them for real men

282 Ex DOJ officials open letter: “We believe it’s our duty to sound the alarm about this administration’s degradation of DoJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it”

Drugs are not weapons of war. They are drugs.

The president’s word on who is or is not a drug dealer is not trustworthy. He and his administration have been caught lying about that multiple times.

Even if blowing up random boats were legal under the laws of armed combat, it’d be stupid strategy.

Judge Esther Salas, whose son was murdered in 2020, issues a dire warning today:

“Officials from top to bottom” are using rhetoric that puts judges at risk:

I posted this one week after the election in 2024. Holds up.

No corruption here, folks! Totally normal stuff the deputy director of the CIA(Michael Ellis) just demoted the acting general counsel and decided to make himself the top lawyer while still being the No. 2 in charge.

There is no acceptable excuse for zip-tying children! None.

This shouldn’t even have to be said.

When looking for who is responsible for the arson of #JudgeDianeGoodstein in SC, maybe start here:
