Thank you Senator Baldwin

wow!

Ladies and gentlemen,

We have entered the mojo dojo casa White House portion of our regularly scheduled program.

Trump grants sweeping pardon of Jan. 6 defendants, including rioters who violently attacked police President Donald Trump has pardoned, commuted the prison sentences or vowed to dismiss the cases of all of the 1,500-plus people charged with crimes in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S.

Congrats to the AP for getting this headline right.

Please notice who runs the wire story and doesn't.

Democratic and anti-Trump PACs would be smart to have TV and social ads starting TOMORROW with videos of individuals attacking cops and “FREED BY TRUMP.”

And every one that commits a crime, from domestic violence to DUI, should be its own ad from now to 2028.

Trump Pardoning Jan. 6 Insurrectionists Would Endorse Attacks on Democracy Rewarding people who tried to ignite an insurrection turns the pardon power on its head.

Reminder that these executive orders are for shock and awe.

They are a distraction from bills in the House and Senate & the confirmation hearings.

Have a drink tonight.

Scream. Yell. Cry.

Whatever you need to do.

But tomorrow, we get to work.

What MLK knew that today’s progressives keep forgetting Analysis by John Blake, CNN (CNN) — Late one Friday night, a young man trudged into his kitchen while his wife and infant daughter slept. He heated a cup of coffee and paced the floor. When he placed…

The country will commemorate the MLK national holiday today on the same day President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn in for a second term. MLK’s legacy will meet the MAGA movement, on split screens across America.

Biden’s presidency concludes tomorrow, but his final week has been nothing short of historic: 2,500 commutations and a ceasefire deal between Israel and Gaza mark the end of his consequential term.

BREAKING NEWS: META AND MARK ZUCKERBERG REMOVE LONG-STANDING ANTI-LGBTQ HATE SPEECH POLICIES AFTER ANNOUNCING END OF FACT-CHECKING PROGRAM | GLAAD Meta Quietly Removes Major Sections of Hateful Conduct Policies Protecting LGBTQ People and Other Marginalized People GLAAD: “Zuckerberg’s removal of fact-checking programs and industry-standard hate ...

Meta has quietly removed major sections of its hate speech policy protecting LGBTQ people, people of color, women, immigrants, and other marginalized groups. Today’s alarming policy changes will allow anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, and cease to protect LGBTQ users from being targeted with such attacks

You know, sometimes it can feel good to let out a really long, dramatic, sigh. Some things deserve it. It’s 2025, we are done letting our minds swirl down an unwanted drain. Inhale personal peace, groan/exhale (gestures at everything).

Good advice, always remember to avoid the bites ends!

Liz Cheney just DESTROYED Donald Trump over his attempts to block Jack Smith and the DOJ from releasing their final report on the investigations into him. She’s absolutely right—the people deserve to see the evidence!!

It’s remarkable that Zuck said “the fact-checkers have just been too politically biased, and have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the U.S." He not only ended the partnership, he threw US fact checkers under the bus.

Cooper: Do you remember what you are doing around this time four years ago?

Gonell: I was fighting for my life being crushed inside a tunnel.

To the very end, I will never understand how January 6th, 2021, wasn’t a dealbreaker.

Was watching Gilmore Girls the night of the election and this episode happen to be on. I took it as a bad sign and sadly, was correct.
