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."

At one of this Nazi rallies today, the orange felon encouraged Iran to attack Los Angeles and San Diego whilst his cult cheered him on for that treasonous statement. I’ll say it again, he belongs in a jail cell, not in the bulldozed White House. To hell with everyone who gave this monster power.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Trump could nominate the worst person with a law degree in America and this Republican senate will confirm that person. That includes Susan Collins, who always confirms Trump’s justices. The only chance you have to keep that person off the court is to elect Democratic senators.

Democracy is slipping away. Nazis are in charge. Abortion has been rolled back. It’s pay-to-play in DC. An endless war. But by all means, let’s worry about who Travis and Taylor are friends with.

The treasury just ended plans to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill but they’re currently printing Trump’s face on a $1 gold coin while he’s still alive. All racist fascists go to Hell.

I hate when I’m just walking around and then I fall. And on my way down, I catch pneumonia, then I end up shaking hands with so many people, my hands get bruised, because it’s definitely not from an IV.

Sometimes I’ll be chatting with friends and a sentence I’d never thought I’d say comes out. Today’s is: “The nominee for Attorney General was just referred to the bar for disciplinary consideration, but you don’t actually need a law license to be the Attorney General.”

Anyone else notice that the talking heads on MSNOW, and many other outlets, have adopted an annoying habit of declaring something and then saying "right???!!" after it? Rachel did it three times in a row and I turned it. Chris Hayes does it often too. Drives me nuts. It's the new "um."

The NYT obituary of Lindsey Graham makes no mention of his effort to overturn the 2020 election by calling Georgia’s secretary of state to intimidate him into manufacturing votes for Trump. The Times, like all news media, is GOP propaganda erasing Republicans’ history as election deniers
