This letter in the New Statesman a couple of years ago seems even truer now.

A lot of AOCs appeal is simply the contrast of wondering why she (rightfully) gets pissed off about stuff but hardly any other elected official in the party does

Any doubt about Robert Kennedy Jr. being an anti-vaxxer and being deceitful about it? Head over to X and check out this post.

Remember in the movie “Aliens” when no one listened to the woman and then everyone died? That’s what the vibe feels like right now.

The House Just Blessed Trump’s Authoritarian Playbook by Passing Nonprofit-Killer Bill Attacking civili society is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes — and the House, including some Democrats, just gave Trump the power to do it.

BREAKING: Attacking civil society is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes — and the House, including 15 Democrats, just gave Trump the power to do it.

Rep. Warren Davidson on why Americans don't need to see the Gaetz ethics report: "The American people knew the kind of mandate they were giving Donald Trump when they elected him."

This is already the most corrupt administration in history

100% recommend looking into Affinity if you make any kind of graphics.

I've been using Affinity Photo for a few years now along with Designer from time to time.

Probably going to go ahead and add Publisher to my software suite for laying out TTRPG stuff.

Rep. Warren Davidson dismisses Pete Hegseth paying off a woman who accused him of rape as a "distraction"

NEW on RFK Jr: In audio we uncovered from his radio show he read and praised a description of Trump and his supporters as "belligerent idiots," "outright Nazis," and "cowards" and "bootlickers."

He also compared Trump to Adolf Hitler.

YouTube video by The Intellectualist Gaetz's Pitch to U.S. Senators: 'I Won't Arrest Dr. Fauci... In My First Week'"

In this video, The Intellectualist examines Matt Gaetz’s pitch to senators for DOJ leadership, including his remark that he wouldn’t arrest Liz Cheney or Dr. Fauci in his first week—a comment that has raised further doubts about his intentions for the DOJ. youtube.com/shorts/IAHvw...

This is also how the Nazis did the antisemitism thing which, you know, turned into a final solution

So maybe stop dismissing it while we have time to stop total catastrophe from being visited on us

Trump denigrates Haitians. How will his election affect Haiti? A key decision awaiting the president-elect is whether to continue supporting a U.S.-funded, U.N.-backed, Kenya-led policing mission.

TRUMP HAS FOR YEARS DENIGRATED HAITIANS, bristling at allowing them into the United States, trying to withdraw protection for those who are here, amplifying the lie they eat Americans’ pets. So how will he address Haiti’s worst crisis since the Duvaliers? Amanda Coletta reports

This is a fucked up story but I can’t help but be drawn to this bit where it sounds like Hegseth the clown was causing a disturbance at a hotel late at night, and when asked to stop, invoked the First Amendment.

Lmao I love it here

Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

"The frustrated and humiliated intellectual, the rich and scared speculator, the spoiled son, the labor tyrant, the fellow who has achieved success by smelling out the wind of success—they would all go Nazi in a crisis."

RFK Jr. on Chemtrails: ‘I Am Persuaded’ The confirmation fights just keep getting weirder and more serious.

🚨NEW: RFK Jr. had a chemtrails kook on his podcast last year to discuss how the government is pumping "tens of millions of tons of aluminum nanoparticles" into the atmosphere via planes, then covering it up via "an illegal gag order on all the nation's weathermen."

RFK Jr: "I am persuaded."

It’s not about the hypocrisy.

It’s about Trump’s Project 2025 plans to take away our rights and freedoms.

Trump will get rid of checks and balances to benefit his billionaire allies at the expense of the middle class.

Amazon and SpaceX aim to defang the federal labor board. Trump may help. Trump allies have discussed breaking tradition and firing opponents on the National Labor Relations Board, which also faces legal challenges from SpaceX and Amazon.

“The future shape of workers’ rights in the United States may depend on who wins a legal debate about whether the NLRB can be insulated from direct political interference” www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

TODAY: The House is set to vote on H.R. 9495, the "nonprofit killer" bill designed to target pro-Palestine groups — and which could empower Trump to go after other political foes

Debate starts at 9am, voting to follow at 10 am. I'll be updating here, with story tk at @theintercept.com

Trump picks people who worked on Project 2025 despite distancing himself Donald Trump has announced the choices for his administration after saying he had “no idea” who was involved with the policy blueprint coordinated by the conservative Heritage Foundation.

Surprise!

Delta CEO says the Trump administration will reverse government 'overreach' seen under Biden The chief executive of Delta Air Lines says the incoming Trump administration will be a “breath of fresh air” for airlines after what he called government “overreach” under President Joe Biden.

Delta’s CEO says Trump has promised to roll back a rule requiring automatic refunds on canceled flights and another requiring airlines to disclose the full cost of a ticket up front

I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump.

Journalist Michael S. Schmidt revealed a federal document detailing Venmo payments linked to Matt Gaetz, allegedly supporting sex trafficking claims, with a redacted version published by The New York Times.

Brilliant observation by @maxkennerly.bsky.social to a whole pot-full of parboiled frogs.

Trump Defies the #MeToo Movement With Cabinet Picks Facing Accusations Donald J. Trump, who was found liable for sexual abuse last year, appears determined to force a fight over the role of such allegations in society.

So you're telling me that Donald Trump, who was found liable for sexual abuse last year, is filling his cabinet with a bunch of creeps like Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth?

Checks out.

You know what I find particularly Orwellian? Analysts and commentators "making sense" of the election for us focus on every blaming excuse for the loss—instead of what actually happened.

The US was psychologically manipulated, divided by hate and disinformation, until reality itself turned to mud.
