US confirms for first time it has deployed weapons into space

Read this for clear explanations of specific “fraud” voting claims by Trump and how understanding the background and strategies can support confidence in our voting practices. Shows how laughably stupid they are (and want voters to be) to question only the votes the GOP doesn’t like.

The idea that making a sitting president answer for criminal charges would distract him from important official duties has never looked more ridiculous.

Marc Elias cites Rev. William Barber & SOS Hillary Rodham Clinton as two of his biggest inspirations to keep up the fight for voting rights. Such an intelligent discussion - covers so much ground and history. Reasons for hope included.

Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."

Remember what it was like when the news was not all scandals and revelations of new corruption? Still problems but the news included ideas for solving them and explanations from qualified people. It wasn’t like this a short, and yet very long-feeling, ten years ago.

Solnit’s article suggests to me that we need Re-Founding Fathers and Mothers to design & outline the reconstruction of our country and democracy in the upcoming elections and beyond to address the damage and opportunities that face us, including the electoral college, the USSC, gerrymandering, etc.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

This clip says clearly what the “SAVE” Act is about.

Let’s hear from President Trump about what kind of president would start a war with Iran.

Wow.

I have no words for this: “The goalkeeper told me I’m an illegal immigrant even though I was born in America, and he said Trump was gonna get me and send me back.” How is destroying the spirit of our children making this country great? Who will repair their trauma when this is over? Sickening.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

“Minnesota is under siege. It might not yet be a civil war, but what the White House has dubbed ‘Operation Metro Surge’ is definitely not just — or even primarily — an immigration enforcement operation. It is an occupation designed to punish and terrorize anyone who dares defy this incursion”

Days to midterm elections: 299.

Christmas attack on civilians in Kyiv. Sure, the Russians want peace

Russia attacked Ukraine with 500 drones and around 40 missiles, including Kinzhal missiles. The main strike targeted #Kyiv, hitting energy facilities and civilian infrastructure. The Russian attack left nearly one third of Kyiv without heating. Russia is a terrorist state.

I’m sick that we’re not protesting the war in Ukraine more - pressuring Trump on h Putin/Russia. If nothing else he might blow his stack with all the “Russia Russia Russia” stuff he hates so much, and deserves. Maybe it would help - there is currently no good end in sight for the valiant Ukrainians.
