Republicans believe AI is capable of governing themselves, while not believing women should govern their own bodies. Think about that...they think robots should have more autonomy than humans.

COLBERT: How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for president? OBAMA: Well, you know, the bar has changed. I think you would perform significantly better than some folks we've seen. COLBERT: Is that an endorsement? OBAMA: It was not

If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.

You are not supposed to say what is actually happening😳

Moderna CEO says Trump’s policies have so curtailed vaccine market they won’t be investing in new research. So that’s awesome. Good luck when the next pandemic hits. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8fWErMy/

Too obvious a point even to make, perhaps. But there was no “unrest” in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up. ICE and CBP are the cause of the chaos…and the killings. Get them out of there.

apiper29.bsky.social reposted

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

When Republicans STRIPPED YOU OF HEALTH INSURANCE to fund a big tax cut for billionaires, that's not completely all of what they spent the money on doing. Trump and his allies gave ICE a whopping $85 BILLION. It is the highest-funded US agency now. #FundHealthcareNotICE

Morality or Mortality? He has no morals…

Asked “if there were any limits on his global powers, Mr. Trump said: “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

Couple of things here: 1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently 2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts" 3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring" 4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

For the love of god…..”things happen”

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

An Emirati investment fund used a Trump-family cryptocurrency in a $2 billion deal. The cryptocurrency had been on the market for five weeks. The Emiratis tell 60 Minutes they chose World Liberty crypto for “business suitability.” cbsn.ws/4r3epvX

Seriously I just can’t take this shit anymore….. this is the dumbest question yet…… what changes were Dems seeking? Literally wanted to continue with ACA!!!!!

Margaret Brennan to Tom Suozzi: "Can you explain the focus this past week in the House by Democrats on the Jeffrey Epstein files? Is this a tactic to distract from the failure to extract healthcare changes?"

Curious. Has any reporter asked Fetterman or other D senators why this was ok?

If Senators can now sue the DOJ for investigating their Jan 6 phone records can we FOIA that information? After all we are going to pay for it, lets see it.

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry. (He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

Reuters@reuters.com

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

This isn’t the first time Miller has used the term “plenary authority” with respect to the Presidency. He did so already in March, but that time he was referring to the president’s authority in foreign policy. What’s new here is now to say this absolute power also applies domestically.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

@60minutes.bsky.social now you are doing an RFK infomercial. Shameful……bend to the knee. Won’t be watching!

If you’ve never heard of the national vaccine court, you’re not alone. It’s paid out billions to Americans who have suffered rare injuries after vaccination. This Sunday, 60 Minutes explains the court’s mission, history and future.

Don't buy the canard that this is about Charlie Kirk. Abusing state power to lean on corporate leaders and get Jimmy Kimmel off the air because he told jokes about the president and made him feel bad was always the plan.

apiper29.bsky.social reposted

Former President Obama, who has been speaking out against President Trump more and more, says that media companies need to stop capitulating to threats from the administration.

apiper29.bsky.social reposted

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

NEW SUBSTACK: Trump Takes the U.S. Open Hostage 28,000 people will boo Donald Trump at Arthur Ashe Stadium tonight. The real question: will America hear it, or will he silence the truth on live TV? Pls read and share and let's make this go viral today 👇

open.substack.comTrump Takes the U.S. Open HostageThis isn’t about tennis. Trump doesn’t care about tennis. He’s here to punish New Yorkers — to hijack their Sunday, their roads, their stadium, their joy.

“I wasn’t sure what number you wanted me to go with.” — Zuck, 100% pathetically bitch-made by a man who said he should be thrown in jail for life, appeasing an administration who says his wife’s family isn’t American, loving how RFK is dismantling every public health advancement that CZI ever made.
