Holy shit.

CBS backlash has pushed Colbert to 2.70 million viewers. Weiss is now faced with canceling the MOST WATCHED PROGRAM in the late-night time slot. Fire her - keep Colbert is the answer.

Imagine the thrill of a lifetime in going all the way to the moon... And then coming back and being forced to meet with this piece of trash.

According to the Times:

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

The FDA is asking laid-off employees to temporarily return after mass cuts decimated the agency’s ability to penalize stores that sell cigarettes and vapes to minors.

AOC: And his whole presidency began with launching tools for bribery, meme coins to fleece working people and move around money in the dark, extortion settlements from media companies and law firms who gladly pay them

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

Sign of the day…Chicago

FUCK ELON MUSK!

WELKER: Do you believe that Ratcliffe and Gabbard were truthful when they testified before your committee? BENNET: No. I think they lied repeatedly to our committee and to the House committee.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

I haven't seen any other country in this century humiliating prisoners, let alone uncharged ones, on TV like this.

This is a critical point everybody in the media should be amplifying:

Meiselas: Steve Witkoff, was allegedly in Moscow while he was on this group chat. Do you believe the Russians now have all of that information and potentially more? Rice: Well, yes—the Russians have whatever Witkoff was doing or saying on his personal cell phone. The Russians undoubtedly have it.

is that bad? Seems bad

PROP - PR Over Policy. Don't confuse them. He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him. Dems need to be strategic.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Want a great slogan for midterms? "If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you " You get the point. FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

This is how you do it...

If she can do it, we can all do it.

This is insane. @libradunn1.bsky.social I’m so sorry this is happening.

The entire MAGA Playbook is to provoke a reaction and then claim the victims or too sensitive (snowflakes) or it was a joke. Rather than be outraged, don’t take the bait and simply laugh in their faces for being the stupid little bullies that they are. They can’t lead. They can only oppose.

This was in response to something that someone asked AI to track all the EOs that DT signed and this is what it said:

BREAKING NBC: Senators have received an affidavit containing new allegations against Pete Hegseth. The affidavit, from Hegseth's former sister-in-law, says Hegseth's behavior caused his second wife to fear for her safety. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

This is your mission. We take our power back now at the local and state level. Stop waiting for a national hero. It’s you. Get to work.

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

I never want to hear that the GOP is the party of law & order again… ever.

We're out of the Paris Climate Accord now. And that's not even the most awful of his executive orders. I will never ever forgive the people who voted for this.

Today, a convicted felon will become president.

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

LEAK: Confidential document reveals Germany's ambassador to the United States is warning that the incoming Trump administration will strip U.S. law enforcement and the media of their independence, and assign “co-governing power” to big tech companies. According to the briefing document,…

Also feel the need to say that this is real and happened today

Check out the Carter Center’s photo from the funeral this morning and who’s obscured. This photographer needs a raise. 🤣

Dear Joe, I know it feels really wrong to order your AG to release a Special Counsel report because that’s been a bad thing to do for so long. But the Supreme Court says it’s okay now. It’s legal. It’s an official act. So go ahead, Mr. President. It’s normal now. ~ Everyone

Trump got the questions ahead of time from Fox. Exactly what he always accuses Democrats of. What a surprise. www.cnn.com/2025/01/08/m...

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Yep.

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor. Party of Family Values, am I right?

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed. The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.
