Ben Franklin wrote that he thought about every 5th or 6th presidents should be impeached and removed from office. Unfortunately, he didn't live long enough to see this not happen.

A “fun” thing about the 1776 number is it makes it more clear how much the settlement agreement is corrupt. Todd Blanche signed his name to an official government document claiming this figure was “based on the projected valuation of future claimants’ claims,” which is clearly, obviously, a lie.

Also, the rounding is covering up that it's reportedly a $1.776 billion pot. Because someone thought making it 1776 would be hilarious. 🙄

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

The seven-member body, whose ranks are composed of Trump appointees, was expected to approve the arch. The proposed monument strongly resembles Paris' Arc de Triomphe, but almost 100 feet taller. n.pr/3O5czfK

Amidst everything else, the Trump regime has quietly killed off the U.S. Forest Service 🌲 “One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests… just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.” www.hatchmag.com/articles/tru...

This is outrageous. And personally depressing. People over 65 and those with chronic conditions will get sick and die. Just because the younger healthy people don't fear COVID anymore doesn't mean everyone else has nothing to fear. And just because MAHA is stupid and insane that should not happen.

Pfizer has ended its large Phase III Trial of an updated COVID19 vaccine. They were not able to enroll enough people to meet their goal. A major problem is the FDA’s wholly unreasonable demand that people with chronic conditions, who benefit most from the vaccine, not be allowed to participate.

biblegateway.comBible Gateway passage: Matthew 6:6 - New International VersionBut when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Leavitt begins the press briefing: "Could you hear our 'amen' in there? We just had a little loud prayer as a team. In this holy week, President Trump and the First Lady are joining in prayer with Christians celebrating the resurrection of our lord and savior, Jesus Christ."

One of the most terrifying signs from today — suggests they’re trying to hand Iran over to right-wing fascist monarchists on a silver platter.

EXCLUSIVE: Senior DHS officials double down on arresting and detaining refugees in new memo. Hours after DOJ filed the new memo in court in Minnesota, a magistrate judge denied Law Dork's request for greater public access in the case — including remote electronic docket access.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained. Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.
