Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

Part of a letter sent by a bunch of GOP members of Congress in favor of granting Maria Corina Machado the Nobel Peace Prize, which she won today. The last three paragraphs, before Rick Scott and Marco Rubio's signature, reads: The Maduro regime's abuses and assaults on the civil society and legitimate political activity of Venezuelan citizens have caused millions to flee to other countries, while millions more have had no choice but to remain in the prison Maduro has imposed on them. The peace of the region has been greatly disturbed by Maduro’s welcoming of some of the world’s worst actors, including terrorists and dictators who support him. It is our firm belief that María Corina Machado’s courageous and selfless leadership, and unyielding dedication to the pursuit of peace and democratic ideals, make her a most deserving candidate for this prestigious award. Her efforts not only highlight the urgent need for international solidarity in the face of aggressive and expansive authoritarianism but also serve as a reminder of the power of individual bravery in the quest for justice.

Huh. Gonna be an awkward day for Secretary of State-National Security Advisor-Acting Archivist Marco Rubio.

A federal judge just asked the government if they're the cause of the violence in Chicago - whether this is of their own making.

Republicans are the party of pedophiles. That’s why he has to think about it!

The entire cabinet is banking on pardons.

Racism is expensive.
Let's also not forget that US taxpayer monies are sent to other countries whose citizens are then afforded free healthcare.

This photo of red troops from Texas invading Illinois over a fake emergency is raising some significant questions for those who watched the televised address Pete Kegstand gave to hundreds of generals, admirals and commanders recently, a speech that already lives in infamy as the "No Fatties Speech"

Wow — Trump & Russell Vought are trying to stiff furloughed federal workers and not give them back pay for the shutdown… but Speaker Johnson’s own website says they are legally entitled to back pay when the government reopens. 🤔

Thanks, New Yorker

Any questions?

Hi, it's me again. Care to weigh in on what's going on with our duly elected rep not being sworn in by your colleagues in the House?

People have to wear goggles and gas masks because ICE is gassing people (and for no reason). ICE is wearing masks because they’re doing shameful things they don’t want to be held accountable for. Big difference.

LMAO way to go Chicago restaurants….they got ICE Barbie out there on FOX “News" crying that her gestapo agents can’t find places to have lunch or use the bathroom 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

It wasn't just one goon!

Hi, it's me again. Are you and your colleagues going to tell your constituents the truth? See you at the ballot box!

Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized.

We asked the judge to issue a broad order — one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state — stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon.

She issued that order

Archi Bunker character, reframed.

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social hi, it's me again. You good? Haven't heard a peep out of you about the atrocities happening all across America. We need you to speak up or get out of office.

The brain isn’t transactional; it predicts behavior from past experience to ensure survival. Since 90% of behavior is subconscious, when JD Vance speaks, it’s a lie. Telling the truth requires conscious effort, but he never breathes before he speaks indicating he’s consciously speaking. It's a lie

So we are waiting on "decorum" again? WTF

When you are friends with F47, Hot Wheels and the entire GOP...you only get 6 months 🤬

A reminder to all the powerful millionaires who were friends, associates, business partners or clients of Epstein. It's because of Trump & his big mouth that the Epstein files & client list that you all are likely on has become an issue again. Trump made Epstein relevant again. It's not going away.

If Little (Mike) Johnson has any other reason to not seat the duly elected representative he could tell us all why.

A story in 2 parts

Troops, Military Families, and Veterans all are going to get screwed by the #TrumpShutdown, but at least construction of his ballroom is considered more urgent and won't stop.
