HAPPY SIXTH ANNIVERSARY to Susan Collins saying Trump learned a “pretty big lesson” from his first impeachment.

These people are terrorists. Full stop.
Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

This is the result of Trump’s strong influence on Putin, extracting the former KGB guy’s promise to not launch anything at Ukraine.
BERNIE SANDERS: Do vaccines cause autism?
BHATTACHARYA: I do not believe that the measles vaccine causes autism
SANDERS: Nah. Uh uh. I didn't ask measles. Do vaccines cause autism?
BHATTACHARYA: I have not seen a study that suggests any single vaccine causes autism

Rep. Randy Fine on Dem opposition to the SAVE Act: "If you make sure they can't stuff ballot boxes with fake ballot boxes, they lose. So this is the reason they're against it. They can't win honestly. They have to win through cheating."

I love this new Virginia Governor
When I pay *my* taxes, I’ll remember:
- MTG resigning on the day she qualified for lifetime pension on my dime
- GOPers who overlook grift in the open
- GOPers who wink at ICE/CBP murders
Rep. Tim Burchett: "When you pay your taxes this year, remember the $14 billion that illegal Somalis stole from you"

Republicans love adding seats to state Supreme Courts! They've done it three times in recent years. This latest court-packing plan will shift Utah's high court far to the right and possibly flip rulings on abortion and gerrymandering.
Democrats should take note that Rs have deemed this acceptable!
This hasn’t received nearly enough attention:
Republicans just passed a law to pack Utah’s Supreme Court after it ruled against their congressional gerrymander.
Cox could appoint two more justices before the court hears the GOP’s latest appeal to preserve their gerrymander
Utah governor signs bill adding justices to state Supreme Court as redistricting appeal looms
Once the new seats are filled, Gov. Spencer Cox will have appointed five of the seven justices.
This is what happens when a crackpot supplement-pitching “doctor” talks about the economy.
Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

FIFA President Gianni Infantino said the ban on the participation of Russian athletes should be lifted: "We have to.Definitely"
I strongly disagree.Russian sports is very much a part of Russia’s politics,most Russian athletes openly support the Kremlin’s regime.

When reporting means facing more abuse, more exploitation, and more betrayal at the institutional level, while the perpetrators are the leaders of the very systems of “justice” supposed to help you
Interesting suggestions for a supercharged Dem opposition to Trump from
@brianbeutler.bsky.social here:
www.offmessage.net/p/the-goal-m...My first thought was to make a political comparison about who welcomes strangers, but this is just too lovely to ruin.
Dangerous, ill-informed take. There are zero bus stops cleared in my neighborhood. Kids would literally be waiting in the traffic lanes. The side roads can’t even fit opposing traffic side by side. And piles of snow aren’t skating rinks.

Quiet. We’re busy rebuilding Venezuelan infrastructure. And the Kennedy Center. 🤡
Tens of thousands of people across Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana have gone a week without power or heat after a brutal ice storm. At least three dozen people have died in connection with the storm, officials have said.
Fear and Anger Grow as Thousands Remain Without Power in the South
More than 30 people have died across three Southern states in connection with last week’s storm, and thousands remain without power.
Video of his remarks where he says, verbatim, that one of his jobs as leader is to funnel more aid to Israel
75% of Democratic voters oppose sending Israel more military aid, as do 66% of independents and 60% of Americans overall according to recent polling
Every. Single. Democrat in elected office, or desiring elected office, could take a lesson from
@vanhollen.senate.gov.
Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE.
Let's spare a word for
@vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.
Ron Johnson has, apparently, never seen a school board meeting where boundaries are being altered or a favorite program is proposed for elimination. He’s never seen a PTA president organize a fundraising auction or ES school play day. Zero paid staff. Zero training. 100% determination & perseverance

This assessment is dead-on.
TRUMP TODAY: There was an election in Texas? What?
TRUMP YESTERDAY:
Q: In Texas, a Democrat won a special election in an area you won by 17 points. Your reaction?
TRUMP: I don't know. I didn't hear about it. Somebody ran -- where?
Q: In Texas
TRUMP: I'm not involved. You mean I won by 17, and this person lost? Things like that happen. I'm not on the ballot
You could add up all the corruption in US history from every Administration and not even sniff Trump’s year in office.
Every other President in history gets impeached unanimously for this. Every one.

Great advice
@democrats.org. No focus groups or message testing or polling or $$ needed. Grow spines in this time of horror & chaos. Don’t be afraid to take your stand.
Now will someone in
@housedemocrats.bsky.social, on
@democrats-judiciary.house.gov file an impeachment resolution? What more do you need?
Example 3567293 of why no ICE/CBP agent should ever enjoy peace or calm the rest of their lives. Each one owns this, ALL of it.
I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

This 👇👇 right here is the truth. ICE will NOT be bound by rules, laws, judicial orders. They must be ended. Not a penny more; rescind what they got.
So, a large protest against ICE in Portland with unions, doctors, nurses, kids, a bunch of everyday people, totally peaceful, was just broken up by ICE with a barrage of teargas.
I don't really know where we go from here or how we get there. But this already is fucking bad.

#WeAreAllImmigrants
Immigrants are
#HereToStayWe are all immigrants. Unless you came over on the Mayflower. I am an immigrant to Canada having grown up in the US. America was built by immigrants. Some people have forgotten that.
That last sentence!! Bravo.

This is happening a lot to female journalists. So here is a modest proposal for the White House press corps: Stand together. No one should ask another question until the President answers the question that was ignored.
Seeing that photo of Obama putting the Medal of Freedom on Tom Homan circulate again. It's fake. Homan did get a civil service award during the Obama administration, but it wasn't the Medal of Freedom, it wasn't a medal (it was a certificate), and Obama didn't present it to him in person.

I needed this so much. It hardly makes up for the loss of Catherine O’Hara. But, combined with the videos from
#ICEOut strikes, my spirit is lifted. A better way to head into the weekend.
