Republicans are going to make taxpayers pay for Trump’s ballroom. All Trump’s claims over 16 months that “donors” were going to pay for it was always a lie and just another con. You will pay for it.

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

In a world full of Donald Trumps, Elon Musks, and JD Vances, be Pope Francis.

Dear Republican Members of Congress, If the President’s response to the shocking security breach involving the use of a commercial messaging app to discuss classified military plans by his amateur-hour administration members doesn’t open your eyes to what you have enabled, please resign immediately.

Dear Trump supporters, is having to admit you were wrong worse than standing idly by while he turns the U.S. into an authoritarian state and isolates us from every one of our allies, while cozying up to Russia? We will forgive the first, but not the second.

Yesterday’s embarrassing display by Trump and Vance in the Oval Office was planned. It would have one of two results. Zelenskyy would cave, or it would give them a “reason” to side with Russia which is what they want to do in the first place.

People who have given their lives in stalwart service to the United States are being summarily dismissed in favor of unqualified lackeys. It’s as simple, and as dangerous, as that.

Trump and Putin plan to carve up the world for their own profit. In turn, Trump will reduce our nations ability to detect Russian threats because he’s such a “great deal maker.” When we let down our guard, Putin will pounce.

My father’s parents emigrated to the US from Ukraine. I’m can’t pretend to be closely connected to those roots. But I am thankful for our support of Ukraine, and disgusted by what is happening now. DJT rewriting history for his minions to pursue his own agenda. Will any ally ever trust us again?

It’s almost as if Donnie and Vlad have agreed to split up the world. Vlad gets the east and Donnie gets the west.

@brentaxemedia.bsky.social Craziest stat quoted on radio show after the game. Lampkin’s plus/minus against NC was -18, despite scoring 20+ himself. Naheem’s was +9.

The Danielle Sassoon letter to AG Bondi is wow. If you have a tip about what’s going on in DOJ/SDNY, I can be reached on Signal at annabower.24 Read the letter: www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

@muellershewrote.bsky.social @meidastouch.com Should I be concerned that I can’t log in to my Social Security page???

"We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people.” I’ve had my differences with Justin Trudeau, for sure, but he rose to the occasion here.

When agencies charged with safeguarding the public health are forced to go silent, how many will die during the next pandemic because it was kept a secret?

If all of the government agencies who oversee and allocate resources, supervise standards, and provide resources in times of trouble are eliminated, how long before the poor states begin attacking the rich states? Besides being an ignorant policy, it’s also a recipe for civil war.

Pardons and commutations are a slap in the face of everyone who ever served honorably in law enforcement. This action will embolden militias and right-wing fringe elements. Current and former LE personnel who can look past this and continue to support him have lived a lie.

My suspicion regarding the plan to move the inauguration inside is that it is as much about an unacceptably low crowd size as it is about his lack of fortitude.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. petitioned the FDA to revoke authorization of Covid vaccines in 2021, when estimates had begun to show that the rollout of the shots had already saved about 140,000 lives. nyti.ms/4hkaSnl

It is clearly ironic that Hegseth testified about standards being lowered…

It’s amazing how MAGA can twist civility into servitude.

Watching the funeral I have been struck by two things. First, Jason Carter paid an extraordinary heartfelt tribute to his grandfather. Second, during the humorous stories Jason told, while everyone laughed, DJT showed no hint of humanity. These next 4 years will be long.

Bravo.

Not a perfect man. Not a perfect president. But such a better man and better president than either Elon Musk or Donald Trump that hopefully he's well aware his legacy will outshine theirs forever. He got bills passed no one thought possible, oversaw a historic pandemic recovery, and modeled decency.

Interesting…

As a lifelong Republican may l be one of the first in my party to officially tell these two, to go fuck off somewhere. Feed your egos elsewhere. Be pals, buddies, comrades elsewhere. Our country is too important for your selfish games. The people elected one idiot, it wasn’t buy one get one free.

Why is the Biden administration silent on the richest man in the world doing the bidding of Putin? WHY IS HE STILL A FEDERAL GOVT CONTRACTOR???

Ridiculous…

Reiterating what someone else pointed out: The events of yesterday remind me that the future Administration is trying to “protect” children. Not by enacting reasonable gun control laws, but by potentially rescinding approvals on vaccines… SMH…

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

Irony is celebrating the killing of a CEO while decrying the acquittal of a former Marine. Irony is also celebrating the acquittal of a former Marine while decrying the killing of a CEO.

More chaos brewing…

Who wants to tell him?

Dear MAGA, When the cost of everything sky rockets. When you figure out you’re been duped. That you blindly voted for a fraud. And you realize it was never about what was good for you. And you see he doesn’t need you anymore. I will refuse to feel sorry for you.

Money can’t buy love, but it can buy a few things…

Trump just nominated Charles Kushner to be AMB to France. Because, hey, screw it, let's not even pretend anymore.

Alexander Vindman is a patriot. Elon Musk, himself an oligarch, is drunk on power and out of control.

A few days ago I was providing a presentation on Ukraine to an older group of people and asked them if anyone knew about the Holomodor. No one did. Yes, the Russians know, and that’s a part of why they want to subjugate Ukraine.

I would like to take a moment to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Despite recent events and a challenging year health-wise, I am very thankful for the blessings in my life. It’s people who make a difference, not money or possessions, and I am lucky to have a wonderful family and great friends.

The Trump ordeal has made one thing clear. Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code. It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions. Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.

This is incredibly disturbing and goes against every rule of war, international law, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and the very ethic of the military. A disciplined military goes to every length to prevent civilian deaths and having a SecDef who doesn't care is unacceptable.

Well, when put it that way…

If Musk and Vivek have their way, the government will lose thousands of qualified experts and will be run by the whims of the Orange One. Unless a few Republican senators unite to hold him accountable for his actions going forward, the end of the democratic process in the U.S. is nigh.

So Project 2025 is real and underway, and the Liar-in-chief is going to get away with trying to keep power in 2020 and for refusing to give back 100s of classified documents he had no right to possess.

Guardian is reporting that Trump wants to delay FBI background checks until he has taken over the FBI. But four to five GOP Senators (Collins, Cramer, Murkowski, Rounds, and Ernst) have suggested they want FBI background checks. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024... thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Ukrainian boxing legend (and brother of Kyiv's mayor) Wladimir Klitschko responds to Joe Rogan...

The incoming administration may or may not reduce the size or scope of government. But it will absolutely become the biggest protection racket the world has ever seen.
