JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.
Of all of Millie's endearing qualities, I think my favorite is her smile.
Trump: "I would own this [Gaza]." Brett Baeir: "Would the Palestinians have a right to return [to Gaza]?" Trump: "No, they wouldn't." Trump plans on committing multiple, and unprecedented, war crimes.
Litigants seeking to block DOGE's access to student loan / DOE data cited this exchange as supporting their case:
Me thinks there are more Canadian geese that fly south across the border to the US than fentanyl trafficking every year. *** CNN already said it. Just repeating to put things into perspective.
WHY are we not seeing this???
...and I'm proud! ✊ Thank you, All, for your support! 🤗 I seriously love you! 💙
Can anyone stop President Musk?
I am not sure if there is time for articles right now….
Musk has as much legal authority to shut down USAID as I do to shut down Tesla, which is to say: none.
Is he paid for his work as a government employee? If so, how much and with what?
Is Musk is *just now* being made a “special government employee” just confirms how illegal this has all been!
These kids and Muskolini didn't "shut down" USAID and they didn't "take care of" OPM/Treasury Dept, they illegally broke into a secure facility on a weekend when hardly anyone was there, hijacked sensitive data on US citizens/businesses, destroyed govt property, and unlawfully fired Americans. (1/6)
Shouldn’t they be doing that already? Better late than never I guess. 🤷♀️
He doesn’t know refugees seeking asylum and mental asylums either.
Maybe Nancy Pelosi came out and stop the rest of the House Democrats from doing something and had a vote against it.
He isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. Trudeau, like most world leaders during Covid, became the punching bag for the few.
It wasn’t a movement that dragged down Trudeau but the ambitions of some.
Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."
Perfectly captured.
Was wondering when Douggy would step up and end that. It’s been problematic for a while.
Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.
Hello!? Hello United States!? Anyone there? Wake up please!
Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.
Hello United States!? Are you there? Wake up please??
Whether it’s Central American migrants entering our country to find work and a better way of life or South African oligarchs entering government buildings to steal our Social Security numbers, our nation is under assault from abroad as never before.
This is the kind of action I’ve been looking for!
More reasons to gut the department of education then. 😳
Wait… South Korean DOJ is ok with this? What about their Supreme Court? Does this mean no one is above the law afterall?

NYT is really gunning for the bottom these days. Who still reads this?
My feeling is that it's not unserious to spend time on the question of whether someone about to be hired for one of the most powerful jobs in the world drugged and raped a woman (as she alleges and he denies) www.nytimes.com/2025/01/15/o...
I don’t know who did this, but thank you 🤣
I am not quite sure the voters who supported him cares. Preoccupation with airing perceived grievances seems to be a major focus. And we need more women presidents.
As your friendly neighbor up north, we will happily join together with you fight climate change and other grave issues our world is facing today for the betterment of all mankind. 🥰
🎉
I don’t know… but the desire for Rapture seems to be clouding many’s judgements.
It’s definitely one of the big reasons that needs to be addressed. I don’t see why you would get in trouble. However, the combination of reasons for a specific area is dependent on that said area. So it’s a giant venn diagram of causes that fluctuates dependent on the location you are looking at.
Make America Good Again.
In December, these 44 Republicans voted against the American Relief Act, a bill providing relief funds for hurricane and wildfire victims and also funds for wildfire prevention.
This is so damn true, and now Donald Trump’s gonna come in and smash it all.
Can’t say how much I agree to this.
With the expected gutting of the Department of Education, we may have to break it down even further. I am pretty sure Elmo talks about Climate Change already. Baby Shark?
"How to delete Facebook, Instagram, and Threads"
Just deleted Instagram. Now I’m free of x, Amazon, Whole Foods, & Instagram. I never joined Threads. I’m significantly reducing my time & activity on Facebook. The only way we can make a difference is to stop supporting the broligarchs.
Engaging in any form of debunking with empirical evidences may only lead to an endless cycle of fruitless research where resources are diverted just to debunk their medical-claim-of-the-day. I am not sure logic and evidence are enough for they will continue to cherry pick whatever they like. 🤷♂️
The New Republic is doing it right. Journalists take note
We're trapped in a game of Monopoly where oligarchs own all the property and the rest of us are simply making our way around the board trying to avoid financial ruin. They've also bought the bank and the government, so they can change the rules to their liking. It's game over or time for a reset.
Why do I fuckeeeng sit here?
Do me a kindness! Share this if you love and support your local library & librarians (and remember: that includes your school library & school librarian) 😊📚 Thank you libraries & library workers… for everything ✨💚

Anyone looking to ban a book from a school should have to prove they read it by presenting a book report to the school committee.
An official photo that the Carter family released from Jimmy Carter’s funeral. Noticed something missing?
Why are we platforming her?
When the US mainstream media entertains the notion of illegally invading sovereign ally nations, you know full well their existence is not necessary.
Why is the media like this?
Just like their leader, you are as useful until you are not. Now that MAGA has gotten back the White House with the aid of his billions and propaganda platform, he has outlived his usefulness.
JUST IN: Another team of Mexican firefighters has landed in LA to help combat the wildfires. Thank you, Mexico 🇲🇽🇺🇸
Yes, echo chambers are not productive. But our desire to bridge sides may not be reciprocated. That is something that needs addressing. No point in engaging those who refuse facts and logic, time after time.
The fuck any white Christina national movement will take the USA back to Jim Crow. Fuck them. We will resist the racism, and breed them out over coming years. They are vitriolic scum! www.cnn.com/2025/01/12/u...
Why is this special interest group running the country?

FTSE 100 Boss: earns average median workers yearly wage in 7 days. Also FTSE 100 boss: we can’t afford a wealth tax - yeah right….:) www.theguardian.com/business/202...
So disrespectful.
Yep.

The answer to the perennial MAGA question, "Why was Ashli Babbitt shot?" is simply a brief, sober, police-report-like description of what she and her immediate co-conspirators were doing at the moment she was shot
LEAVE CANADA ALONE! LEAVE GREENLAND ALONE! LEAVE THE GULF OF MEXICO ALONE! FUCK DONALD TRUMP FUCK DONALD TRUMP FUCK DONALD TRUMP FUCK DONALD TRUMP FUCK DONALD TRUMP FUCK DONALD TRUMP FUCK DONALD TRUMP FUCK DONALD TRUMP FUCK DONALD TRUMP FUCK DONALD TRUMP
I’m so tired of him as well.
Hey, at least a good photo op came from it right?

Speaker Johnson quoted a completely fake prayer attributed to Thomas Jefferson today But here's what Jefferson actually said about God in 1787: "Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because, if there be one, he must more approve the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear."
First, who said I wanted Bernie? Second, who said I didn’t vote? Third, what did YOU do to fix this? It started way before many of us. Fourth, why are you asking later generations to fix your mistakes? Sounds like you didn’t do anything.
You really have balls blaming young people for “apathy” and “not doing anything”. This started long before many can even vote. And where were you then? Why aren’t you protesting or pressuring your government to use the 14th Amendment now? I see many of you happily just sitting there. 👀👀👀

11 teens have been arrested for beating two men they had lured using a gay dating app. Activists and police warn the attacks are part of a larger social media trend where straight teens and adults target and lure gay men for assault. www.advocate.com/crime/illino...
And who said I am just sitting? Good politicians getting primaried by heavily pocketed special interests backed by the party establishment. Unfettered donations and questionable stock portfolios. Multi-tiered justice system….
Don’t blame the younger generations. We just aren’t buying the fake hope and change slogans anymore.
How many Greta Thunbergs do you need? How many Paris accords do we need to set meaningful changes in 2080 or later again? What about fossil fuel and its entrenched subsidies? Or a retired Speakerof the House blocking younger generations of politicians from heading meaningful committees?
The younger generations aren’t voting not because they have no vital stake at this point in their lives. Far from it. They aren’t voting because the boomers are still gung-ho in destroying the environment and everything else for their own greed at the expense of everyone following them.
Democrats really got played on this one. Considering Germany, Georgia and various other countries are all targeted by foreign election interference and tempering, it is hard not to reexamine the American election and its oddities. But Democrats won’t just not to be called election deniers.
That should be the Democrats picked their perfect candidate for the party instead of the perfect candidate for the country. Secretary Clinton would have been a great POTUS, but the Democrats failed to see and understand America in 2016. We were all just too excited for Clinton’s candidacy.
Democratic primaries are technically private organizational meetings. Hence, all the shenanigans. It’s not part of American democracy. Maybe this should be change.
If we want a fighting chance: Someone should tell Obama not to orchestrate Super Tuesday primary candidates. And someone should tell Pelosi to stop influencing on committee chair votes then.
David Jolly is correct. Roughly a quarter of the total debt accrued over the entire history of the U.S. happened during Trump's presidency. Looked at another way: the actual percentage increase from 11/06/2016 ($19.57 trillion) to 1/20/2021 ($27.75 trillion) was approximately 41.8%.
Is this true? Super wow!
