Reminder: this is LITERALLY not how it works. A Speaker is only elected AFTER everyone is seated. Johnson won't be Speaker when seating happens. There literally will not be a Speaker.

If only the Peltola campaign had been credibly accused of rape, then the NYT could safely ignore it. Good job finding the *real* scandal -- Democrats committing politics.

the bedwetters who always say "be careful, this helps republicans and if we fight too hard this helps them" have been proven wrong yet again

OBAMA INSULTED THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY — a totally fake and made-up story that means nothing — is their closing argument, given blanket coverage in conservative media and polite attention in the mainstream media. Meanwhile, revelation yesterday that the President committed a violent rape is ignored.

of course trump should be impeached and anyone arguing otherwise shouldn't be taken seriously. impeachment is a constitutional bulwark against abuse of power and there are few leaders in the history of the modern world who have abused their power more than trump. dont be dumb. we must impeach.

i swear its the dumbest thing ive been watching now for 11 years since trump came on the scene. "why do republicans follow trump?" because they fucking like it. they like being racist misogynistic fuckwits. they revel in it. they love this fascist shit and always have.

COMIC: Political Donation

Get ready for the unfolding of a Russian propaganda operation, carried out with the aid of the White House, in the battered town of Oleshky. From @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social , who has been reporting from Kherson, just across the river, since 2023 www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

NEW: The federal prosecutor leading the Trump admin’s effort to force California to block people on a list of alleged noncitizens from voting was disqualified from his post by a judge. Judge Matthew Seabright found the prosecutor is “unlawfully serving as a ‘de facto’ United States Attorney.”

Some important context here: Flavio's feeling the law is connected to the election only to the extent that he needed to win to keep immunity. The actual crimes of corruption are extensive, go way back, and are not election-related.

do not forget pre-order a book today it is like receiving a little present to yourself in the future

Oh fuck!

USA - safe haven for (alleged) international criminals.

Raskin: "When historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump."

its january 21, 2029 we wake up the news is filled with stories about fbi raids doge staffer busted ice agent arrested stephen miller flees into the night seeking refuge with white nationalists demolition crews arrive at white house to take down ballroom pbs funding restored usaid emergency funding

it is odd in retrospect how easy it was for the “but trump ended his friendship with epstein” narrative to be accepted as fact

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

Naguib Mahfouz - Nobel Prize Lit (1988), Ahmed Zewail - Wolf Prize (1993), Nobel Prize Chemistry (1999), Omar Yaghi (Jordan) – Nobel Prize Chemistry (2025), Hisham Matar - Pulitzer (2017) - even if none of that were true, judging 500 million people by a prize tally is bigotry of the largest order.

Another person has died in ICE custody — this is the 28th known death this year. The cruelty of this rogue agency is beyond unconscionable. Abolish ICE.

Today we lost Walter Koenig. Some thoughts about a fine actor and genuinely nice guy....

Reuters: US APPEALS COURT DENIES TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S REQUEST TO STOP CALIFORNIA FROM COUNTING MAIL BALLOTS FROM ALLEGED NONCITIZENS

US appeals court rejects Trump administration request to halt California counting mail ballots from suspected noncitizens

wow, the consolidation is alarming

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

I of course loved him as Chekov, but playing Bester on BABYLON 5 really showed his range. You really forgot the guy ever *was* Chekov in that role. RIP Walter Koenig.

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.

Lord I see what Brazil and Serbia have and I want it for myself

if democrats win one of the biggest strains will be the drive to hold them accountable for holding trump and the gop acountable. every time for the last 40 years when the dems have won they took their foot off the gas and we suffered. we must push them and their boot-licking defenders.

get fucked, bolsonaro!!

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

get fucked, vucic!!

I wasn't going to comment on this but as a parent of three children I just. can't. get over it. What. How. Why. The appeal to "how smart am I" by suggesting she was overwhelmed by "range and complexity" (yes, humans are complex) when it is just basic parenting to know your child. Does she not know?

what a night

Bloomberg já viu o suficiente

Reagan talked about welfare queens in Cadillacs, Trump talks about Somalian thieves in Mercedes Benzes, because being *real* racist has been a core strategy Republican politicians for a very long time, even if prior to Trump a lot of folks who should have known better enjoyed pretending otherwise.

No President Obama, we should boo their asses. We should boo them where they work, boo them where they play, boo them every second of their miserable lives. AND vote. We can do both, we must do both.

Using AI to take her out of her hijab (and then pretending she’s bald) is fucking sending me to a level of molten rage I never knew existed

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

I am the America First candidate. But you don't have to take it from me... See our new ad, airing on TV exclusively on Fox News and Newsmax.

Of course they know that, and the next demand is going to be to cancel all votes, and try again with ID check.

Relationship goals 🤣

Very informative, and relevant for the latest trump attempt to delegitimize @ilhanmn.bsky.social

if he posts through It Happening that will make it so much funnier

Picard civics tip: Becoming subservient to an oppressive regime shows profound disrespect to the people being governed.
