You know there’s money to be made if Smellania shows up.

Last time Trump held an event in the Rotunda...

How incredibly embarrassing for the United States

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

In his amicus brief on release of the special counsel report, Trump argues: “As the President-Elect and soon-to-be 47th President, President Trump has an interest in a smooth transition and efficacious vesting of executive power."

And irony is dead right there.

Direct hit on the Sunset Fire in Hollywood. 🎯

Russia Is Buying Politicians in Europe. Is It Happening Here Too? A former CIA officer explains how a vast, pro-Putin corruption network uncovered in Europe is a warning sign for the U.S.

A former CIA officer asks a legitimate, and deadly serious, question: Have Russian operatives paid any Republican officials?

People need to know that the FBI doesn’t make the call on Cabinet nominees. They investigate, and they say, “Here’s what we found. Here’s what troubles us.” Private vetting firms don’t have the powers the FBI has, and their loyalty is to whomever is paying them. @nbcbayarea.bsky.social

Donald Trump will never face consequences for January 6th.

The American people did their job, Merrick Garland did not.

I am enraged.

Pretty crazy someone can be charged federally with interfering in an election and those charges get dropped because they win an election.

I hate when they take away things you were just starting to really enjoy, like your favorite TV show or democracy.

Special counsel moves to dismiss election interference and classified documents cases against Trump Federal prosecutors moved to abandon the classified documents case against President-elect Donald Trump in light of longstanding Justice Department policy that says sitting presidents cannot face crim...

Jesus. Let’s just drop everything and throw him a fucking parade like the power-bottom pussies we’ve become. Because we’re afraid of an old fake billionaire loudmouth who applies Oompa Loompa makeup like a blind man in the dark. Pathetic.

The ignorance is almost painful to acknowledge.

Post by John Nichols: Harris is now winning a higher percentage of the popular vote than Trump in 2016 or 2020. Trump 2016: 46.1% Trump 2020: 46.8% Harris 2024: 48.4% Trump didn’t win a “landslide” in 2024. In fact, his victory margin is one of the smallest in US history.

This is a very important point. Please let everyone know.

The MAGA Republican plan in Congress is to cut Social Security and Medicare, and repeal the Affordable Care Act, so they can give tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations.

Do not let them tell you otherwise and be prepared to fight every step of the way.

We will stop them AGAIN!

Cross-stitch embroidery ring, with a few flowers, a knife a skull, and the words: "Warning This is proof I have the patience to stab something 1,000 times."

Tammy Duckworth on Tulsi Gabbard: "I think she's compromised ... Russian controlled media called her a Russian asset."

Sarah McBride: "It is an attempt to distract ... Every single time we hear them say the word 'trans,' look what they're doing with their right hand. Look at what they're doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare."

The REAL story on Pam Bondi, Trump University, and Trump's $25,000 payment to Bondi:

1/ In August 2013, I was at the NY AG, and Bondi was Florida AG.

On August 24, 2013, I filed the NY AG's prosecution of Trump University and Donald Trump, for $42 million in fraud. 🧵

This is exactly right. Trump’s big advantage is that he’s playing tic-tac-toe without a pencil but somehow convinces people he’s multiverse time-travel chess.

The biggest liars in the world posed as free speech advocates because “everyone must pay for, listen to, and agree with what we say” doesn’t poll well, and the stupidest people in the world (many of them in key positions in America’s newsrooms) fell for it.

How RFK Jr. Falsely Denied His Connection to a Deadly Measles Outbreak in Samoa He also championed a Samoan anti-vaxxer tied to the 2019 lethal eruption that killed scores of children.

The full low-down on RFK Jr.’s connection to a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa and, just as important, how he lied about it. That’s key. Kennedy is an inveterate liar. He makes up facts & plots, and he lies about what he himself has said. Another con man.

Which is precisely why the GOP constantly seeks to control and degrade the education process.

If you keep voters dumb and afraid, they’re far easier to manipulate.

It will never stop being utterly insane to me that Trump fans rioted, shat in the Capitol, smashed windows, battered police and terrorized people nationwide when he was fired by 80 million voters for condemning 1 million to die of COVID then 73 million rehired him and they demand we "come together."

When businesses talk about ending government “overreach” they’re usually talking about screwing their customers over
