A bowl of cheesy ham and potato soup.

“Stupefied” is the word we would use to describe how we all felt upon shoveling a spoonful of Dan’s ham and potato soup into our mouths. Such simple, economical ingredients yield silky, luxurious results. nyti.ms/4iC5E6A

This Has Got To STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Judge Boasberg is a hero.

How Do We The People Stop This Madman???

I will never forget seeing this in real time, and am appalled he is president now.

We Have To Get Rid Of trumpy and his thugs, HOW DO WE THE PEOPLE DO IT? Before it's to late

The Birth of the Trump Doctrine Lies in the 1987 Recruitment of Donald Trump By the KGB During His Trip to Moscow That Year How Trump responded to his recruitment remains unclear. What is clear, however, is that it shaped his entrance into politics and his foreign policy in a way the world now ignores at its peril.

This is one of the most shameful days in U.S. history. A weak, corrupt, deceitful, compromised Kremlinist U.S. president recruited his Yarvinist VP to gang up on a heroic ally on live TV. It devolved into a shouting match.

Why? This report explains _exactly_ why:

The Rising Tide Americans show their mettle; politicians will follow

Trump might proclaim himself king, but there is plenty of fight left in Americans and judicial determination in federal courts to repudiate the Mad King Donald. If recent events are any indication, Americans are just getting started.

Sketch of a skinny, bearded man dressed in a suit facing a bearded monkey caricature who is seated on a desk atop a stack of books including origin of species. on the floor is the book descent of man.

Charles Darwin published his book Descent of Man #OnThisDay in 1871. In it he wrote: "It has often been asserted that man’s origin can never be known, but ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge."

Lady fucking Liberty

She’s still there. Just needed to check.

Ken Dilanian on X: "Traditionally, the deputy FBI director has been a career FBI agent. That is particularly important when the director has no experience at the FBI. Donald Trump tonight announced he is appointing as deputy director Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and prolific conspiracy theorist. He has never spent a day working at the FBI, but he has spent many hours spouting baseless falsehoods about the bureau, such as that the FBI lied when they said they don’t have a suspect in the pipe bombs as outside the RNC and DNC on 1/15/21. Current and former FBI officials are appalled—and extremely concerned for the national security of the country."

Patel and Bongino in charge of the FBI is out of some MAGA fever dream. Villain and scoundrel, they are.

I wonder how much Trump will like the new cover of Time.

Trump's Plan To 'Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias' Is Straight Of The Christian Nationalism Handbook Because they're the real victims 🙄

Of course they think they're the real victims here.

Why Was a Climate Activist Put in Prison for Five Years? Roger Hallam spoke on a Zoom call to help organize a nonviolent protest. New British laws cracking down on activists have made his punishment swift and, some feel, harsh.

“We’re just speeding at a million miles an hour towards ecological collapse,” the climate activist Roger Hallam, who was sentenced to prison for organizing a protest, said. “The political, moral, and spiritual implications of that are off the scale.”

With the terrible tragedy over the skies of D.C., it’s time to prioritize safety. Trump must end the hiring freeze on air traffic controllers and restore the aviation safety advisory committee he dismantled on Jan 22.

In March 2023, when Mark Milley was months away from retirement he met Bob Woodward at a reception and said, “We gotta talk.”

Milley went on to describe the grave degree to which former President Donald Trump, under whom Milley had served, was a danger to the nation.

Milley had come to a decision. He would not quit. “Fuck that shit,” he told staff. “I’ll just fight him.” The challenge, as he saw it, was to stop Trump from doing any more damage, while also acting in a way that was consistent with his obligation to carry out the orders of his Commander-in-Chief.

Thank you for speaking the truth, he has NO Business being in the Health Dept. He Scares Me............
