David Jolly: "The problem in this environment is not that I used to be a Republican. It's that Byron Donalds still is one."

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

I have a friend who is a social worker doing the same work as this social worker. She has also told me stories of women like Amy Acton's mother.

He's been a boon for dem ads lately

Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'We're making trillions of dollars. But my people said 'please don't mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher'... we're making a frickin' fortune"

NEW: A woman featured in a Republican attack ad accusing a Democrat of being “dangerous” for children actually PLEADED GUILTY TO CHILD ENDANGERMENT after driving drunk with her own kids in the car, per the Washington Post.

All these so-called “independent” Republicans will go right back to voting for Johnson as speaker, confirm every Trump nominee, vote with Trump on everything, and continue doing zero oversight on his corrupt regime. A vote for any one of them is a vote to continue all of that.

This is fucking insane. It reads like a bad spy novel. The corruption is almost cartoonish at this point. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Trump announces "fraud whistleblower incentive program" -- "Americans will now be able to go to fraud dot gov and report cases of corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities ... if you turn somebody in and you find $1 billion, we're giving a commission of 1%. That's a lot of money"

When a fed'l judge does her job, insisting that the govt follow the same rules as everyone else & the president attacks her personally, it’s a sobering moment. You’ll want to read Judge Reyes’ final comments today in court. I wrote about it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/this-is-no...

joycevance.substack.com“This Is Not What the Founders Envisioned”As his lawyers prepared to return to court this morning in the legal battle over the East Potomac links, Donald Trump was up early, posting on Truth Social about U.S.

It's a key part of conservative ideology: "I have no obligations to you and I can treat you however I like, but you are required to love me."

Some content back up BUT NO administrative access for No Kings organizers Does Meta not think we are paying attention? Pro-democracy state AG's, legislatures & regulators should be all over investigating this--& so should a new pro-democracy Congress THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS

The next congress is going to be very good for democracy.

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

Sounds like it

NEW: META comms guy claims the takedown of the No Kings Instagram account during the largest early vote action in history was a simple error. I call BS. I’ll be speaking with @ezralevin.bsky.social at 4:20 PT (in 20 minutes) on Substack. Join the conversation: muellershewrote.com

Fu#k yes!

Bill Kristol@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social

The first subpoena from the new Democratic Congress should be to Mark Zuckerberg, for taking down the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of one of the largest days of civic activism in American history. No Kings. No Courtiers.

Democrats need to be ready to hold hearings and inquiries into the assault that Musk, Zuckerberg and other tech bros are making against democratic institutions at home and abroad.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: No Kings organizer Ezra Levin SOUNDS ALARM after Meta suspended the movement’s Instagram during nationwide protests. LEVIN: “We might be seeing something similar from Meta in our country right now.” “We're not gonna stop organizing against this regime.”

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Sounds like treason

Captain Mark Kelly@captmarkkelly.bsky.social

Congress passed tough sanctions on Russia to punish Putin and help end the war in Ukraine. Now the White House turns around and undoes all of that to let Russia off the hook for their illegal invasion. That isn’t maximum pressure. It’s maximum retreat.

Found another traitor

Ron Johnson blames US for Putin invading Ukraine: "The way we treated Russia after we won the Cold War, how we pushed them. I'm not defending Putin, but we said we were not gonna move NATO one inch to the east. We brought it right to their doorstep basically. What did we think Putin was gonna do?"
