Exactly 10 years ago today: Hillary Clinton said Vladimir Putin would rather have "a puppet as president of the United States.” She absolutely nailed it. 🔨

Vivek Ramaswamy registered as an attorney in New York and as a voter in Ohio at different addresses, which would mean he either violated New York State Bar registration laws or Ohio voter registration laws.

Always love me a real time fact check🔥 Steve Scalise: "Go look at Joe Biden. Joe Biden removed the press credentials from over 400 different agencies.” Jonathan Karl: That's actually not true about Biden… There was only one that was actually denied a credential. #No1stAmendmentBan

This morning, the Coldstream Guards at Buckingham Palace performed a tribute to Dolly Parton. The last time I remember the guards at the palace honoring the memory of an American entertainer was when they paid tribute to Aretha Franklin after she passed away.

Here’s a fun new game for political junkies. Yea or Nay gives you five senators and three bills each day — and challenges you to guess how each senator actually voted. It sounds easy. It’s not. But it’s surprisingly addictive. And there’s a new game every day. Play Yea or Nay: playyeaornay.com

WE FOUND THE ELECTION FRAUD‼️ Ken Paxton may have violated Texas election law by voting from an address where he allegedly didn’t live. Under Texas law, knowingly voting while ineligible is a second degree felony, punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

He runs a protection racket in the House? Sound accurate.

The disagreement within Republican circles is not about whether democracy needs to be undermined, but rather about how best to do it.

Rep. Burchett (R-TN) refuses to put any blame on Trump for high gas prices. Burchett: It has to do with the greed of the oil companies. We buy zero oil from Iran. 90% of their oil they sell to China. They're just gouging us. And I blame Congress.

Donald Trump Jr. bought into a company. Three months later, his dad's Pentagon handed them $620 million in taxpayer dollars. Democrats forced a vote to subpoena Don Jr. today to come clean about this shady deal. But Republicans blocked it and even shut down the hearing to protect him.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

Never let a single goddamned person on the Right ever claim again that they’re the party of law and order without laughing in their lying face.

Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan.bsky.social

So Capitol Police officers were assaulted and injured on Jan 6th, the White House today is blaming them for the violence, and the people who attacked them have been pardoned and are back to mock and abuse them on the 5th anniversary. And the GOP is the party of the police? Really? REALLY??

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith testifies how he had Trump in his cross-hairs and could prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he was responsible for the insurrection on January 6, 2021. Man things would have been so different if Garland didn’t slow walk this case. Ugh‼️‼️

This woman was an observer when ice was arresting her Somali neighbors who are legal citizens. She was arrested and her legs kept in shackles for 5 hours and they CUT OFF her wedding ring when they were processing her. It is so appalling. In Minneapolis my hometown.

I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care

The Tennessean rightly points out what we’ve been making sure folks understand: let the record show @MarshaBlackburn ONLY declared she won’t stuff taxpayer money in her pockets “AFTER PUBLIC CRITICISM” Even Republicans like @RepJohnRose called her out

Tony Harris reposted

No one should gloss over how appalling this is. A president who feels this comfortable demeaning women, and so many others, is nothing short of embarrassing and shameful.

"Quiet! Quiet, Piggy."

Republicans were never going to cave. We now have a deal for government employee job guarantees and a vote on the record over subsidies before the New Year. These always work against the party out of power. Looking forward to the Epstein file dump.

Jeffries on a death threat made against him by a pardoned J6 criminal: "Not a single Republican has reached out to me since that incident occurred, and that's no surprise because they cannot defend the fact that Donald Trump pardoned hundreds of violent felons who brutally beat police officers."

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

Lutnick: "I would say the first quarter of next year will be the best quarter of construction jobs this country has ever seen, and that's gonna roll all the way through '26. So I think you're gonna see GDP growth next year over 4%."

Federal agents detained two firefighters in Washington state... ...while the firefighters were in the middle of fighting one of the largest wildfires in the country. Under Trump’s regime, cruelty takes precedence over everything else.
