"The half of the country that voted against Donald Trump is left standing alone. Who in the Biden administration is shoring up whatever guardrails remain?" You know, someone can do something about that.

Speak for America, Democrats
There is still much that President Biden and other Democrats can do during this increasingly alarming transition to Trump’s second term.

What would happen if a pro-democracy billionaire like Mark Cuban acquired MSNBC and had MeidasTouch Network operate it and run it as MTN? I am humbled you tagged me in this thought experiment throughout the day, so I have laid out my thoughts on it here open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Rand Paul says he will not support Trump’s plan to declare an emergency & use the military to deport migrants: “I think it’s a terrible image. That’s not what we use our military for. We never have. I will not support an emergency to put the Army into our cities.”

It should be emphasized just how obscene the Gaetz nom is. He's unqualified, unfit, & was recently investigated for sex trafficking. He faces accusations of paying for sex & sexual misconduct w/ a minor. That there's even a chance he gets confirmed as the top law enforcement official is shameful.

Once you realize that Trump isn’t nominating cabinet members to RUN agencies but DESTROY them, it makes more sense.

Shame on every journalist that amplified Trump's Project 2025 denials- especially the fact checkers that took Democrats to task on this topic. You all knew Trump was lying to mislead & confuse voters and now there are at least 3 P2025 authors in the Trump admin. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-r...

Not to ruin the wonderfully positive vibes on this site, but is anyone else here concerned that American society, politics, and culture have become morally and psychologically addled?

Sen. Bernie Sanders and a handful of Democrats will force the Senate on Wednesday to vote on a measure to block the sale of some $20 billion in U.S.-made weapons to Israel, in a last-ditch effort to limit the carnage, suffering and destruction caused by Israel’s now 13-month war in Gaza.

Matt Gaetz "created a game where members of the FL House got 'points' for sleeping with aides, interns, lobbyists, and married legislators," according to former Florida State Rep. Chris Latvala (R).

Rep. McGovern: "What the hell is going on here? And their cabinet picks so far -- I mean, these are like beyond insane. Someone who is credibly accused of having sex with an underaged girl ... someone who has said tap water turns kids gay. I mean, this is the dream team? Really?"

The migration of MedTwitter, along with a large cohort of science journalists, to BlueSky is striking in its scale and rapidity. In a short time, this shift has effectively transformed BlueSky into the essential hub for breaking medical news and vibrant scientific discourse.

Trump Voters Should Do Some Soul-Searching Too
Their predictions of election fraud and riots were wrong. They should take some time to reflect on that.
