🚨 🚨 Breaking Congressional BOMBSHELL: Jim Jordan and Pam Bondi SHRED Trump's pardons for EVERYONE who stormed the Capitol on January 6th!! "You have a right to protest on the street, but that doesn't give you a right to go into the Capitol and disrupt Congress."

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

Trainwreck? In October 2024, The Economist called Biden's economy "the envy of the world."

BARTIROMO: What are you expecting the president's economic message to be? SEN. McCORMICK: I think the message is that we inherited a trainwreck from the Biden administration and we made a lot of progress

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker. Just to level set

WELKER: Four months ago the DOJ said there was nothing to investigate and then hours after Trump called for an investigation, Pam Bondi said she was opening an investigation. Is that appropriate? BARRASSO: I think there's a lot more important things to talk about right now

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people? MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.

“What’s the benefit for 🇺🇸 in sending $20 BILLION to Argentina?”🤔 Trump says he just really likes their philosophy and will only send the $20 Billion if his pal Milei wins. Imagine not being able to see this blatant corruption for what it is. (While our farmers struggle)

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents? MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Pam Bondi wasn't going to answer any questions today. We all knew that in advance. People can watch the hearing if they want to, but the idea that this is an Attorney General testifying before Congress is laughable. This is just a Trump personal lawyer putting on a performance for her client on TV.

If you say Dems should negotiate with Trump, please confirm you've read the pre-shutdown Trump EO that authorizes you and yours to be probed as terrorists if you commit any thought-crime listed on the right-hand side of this Ken Klippenstein report excerpt. *That* is who you want to negotiate with.

“I have no idea what Project 2025 is.” - Trump, October 31, 2024

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut ... I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity."

CUOMO: I'm not used to seeing naked propaganda on a government website. Are you worried about violating the Hatch Act? TURNER: We're not worried at all. This is about letting the American people know what's going on. C: It's not true. That's why I'm bringing it up. That's why it's propaganda.

The White House is targeting blue states with its first wave of cuts to federal projects following the government shutdown. The Office of Management and Budget is withholding billions in energy and infrastructure money in more than a dozen states that voted against Trump.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

I wonder how many people fully appreciate that Trump just falsely declared the blue state of Oregon to be in a state of Rebellion against the United States so he could deploy active-duty military from the Department of War to kill American citizens Meanwhile, he *pardoned* the January 6 terrorists

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

Standing against fascism is now domestic terrorism—by presidential decree. Anyone committed to fighting fascism can now be deemed an enemy of the state, arrested, and held—possibly without full due process—on the claim that they're a "terrorist." Just like that, we lost America.
