I always thought that a diary is a place for one to put in writing his/her innermost, personal thoughts. What right did Rand Paul have to release pages in Dr. Fauci’s diary?

On the news that the Trump DOJ set up a $1.776 billion slush fund mainly to pay off J6’ers who brutally beat Michael Fanone & other police officers, Fanone is receiving numerous death threats from hateful people who think they could kill Mike and get rewarded for it. Shameful & insane.

Fetterman strikes again. He’s the only Democrat to vote against the War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump and his illegal war in Iran. How does he sleep at night?

For weeks, we’ve had 24/7 coverage of the Iran “excursion.” For the past two days, we’ve had 24/7 coverage of the WHCD “assassination attempt.” The GOP calling for the gaudy ballroom to be built as a safe place. Interesting distraction.

According to JD Vance, the Pope should be careful when discussing matters of theology. What an arrogant putz! Does he not know that theology is the Pope’s area of expertise? Additionally, the Pope was quoting the Beatitudes. “Blessed are the peacemakers.”

I just saw a report that John Cornyn has changed his position on eliminating the filibuster to pass the outrageous Save America Act. This is an attempt to win Trump’s endorsement in his senate race. Way to prostitute himself! The guy is 74. Why doesn’t he retire and enjoy life?

Pete Hegseth is banishing photographers from the Pentagon over “unflattering” photos of him? Would be a shame if this picture kept circulating.

WAPO reports that DHS is going to spend over $38 billion with a “b” of taxpayer money to covert industrial warehouses into internment centers for undocumented immigrants. We have no money for healthcare, but we do for concentration camps. I wonder who will benefit. Let that sink in.

“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." Pam Bondi should remember this. Her theatrical performance today before the Judiciary Committee was a disgrace. She acted like a junior high mean girl, not the chief law enforcement official in the US.

Now, the federal government is arresting independent journalists In Minneapolis for covering the protests. This is unacceptable. Are we now living in Russia or North Korea? We’re only allowed to believe the lies of the administration rather than what we can see with our own eyes? Enough!

Trump once again embarrassed the US in Davos. He gave a rambling speech filled with lies. His delusions and lack of knowledge were on full display. I just about flipped when he said that NATO has never done anything for the US. My God! The only time Article V was invoked was after 9/11 to help us.

Asked about the Walz/Frey investigation, Blanche said: “You saw the governor and the mayor actively encouraging criminals to go out on the street and impede ICE. That is not allowed under our law.” I must be living in an alternate universe. I heard Walz & Frey tell people to be peaceful. 🤦🏻

Trump threatens Iran for cracking down on protesters, while his goons invade Minneapolis/St. Paul and other blue cities in blue states to among other acts of terror, quash protests. The lack of self-awareness is incredible.

FOLKS IN MINNEAPOLIS: SAVE all videos & photos from today. They will be valuable to prove the ICE agent --- who had time to move & re-position himself to the side of the victim's car to shoot into the driver's side window --- was not in reasonable fear of imminent serious physical injury or death.

Captain Bonespurs, who never served in the military, has become the Imperial Leader. He’s recklessly putting the lives of our military, CIA and the Venezuelans in great danger. In addition, Venezuela does have the capability to strike American targets. Very concerning.

I watched about two minutes of an interview of Mike Johnson on ABC this morning (all I could stomach). The questions were regarding RFK, Jr. and the CDC and MAHA. During every answer, Johnson looked down and to the left - body language indicating he was lying. Big surprise! I hope we survive.

Good on the Democratic Governors for releasing the following statement: “Democratic governors, along with millions of Americans, stand united with the Ukrainian people.” LFG people and show we stand with Ukraine & President Zelensky 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 #SlavaUkraini #NAFO @demgovs.org
In response to today's meeting at the White House in which President Trump and Vice President Vance publicly attacked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Democratic governors released the following statement in support of President Zelensky and the Ukrainian people:
"Donald Trump and JD Vance used the sacred Oval Office to berate President Zelensky for not trusting Vladimir Putin's word. Americans must protect our strong democratic values on the world stage instead of undermining President Zelensky's work to fight for his nation and the freedom of his people after being invaded by Russia. We, along with millions of Americans, stand united with the Ukrainian people."
