Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people. Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech. They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger just issued an executive order shutting down state police cooperation with Trump’s ICE immediately after taking office.

I’d think knowing how to drive on ice would be a prerequisite for living in Minnesota. Leave if the climate’s wrong for you.

This comes one day before the 5th anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Capital -- which was part of an unprecedented effort to overturn the will of the people and keep a defeated president in power.

It's January 3rd and we already have a top contender for skeet of the year. It has everything: the Fed up newscaster, the slamming of papers, the timing with the jingle, and a concise caption that acknowledges a universal mood. Everything comes together in perfect harmony.

Hey, apropos of nothing, library hot tip: if a book gets wet, it’s done. I’m sorry. I know. It feels bad. But you will not be able to dry it sufficiently to avoid warping, which in turn invites mold, which is the kiss of death for collections. It might not be today or tomorrow, but it’s coming!

I can’t believe how much of the Trump era is about solving problems that *don’t* exist while making all the problems that *do* exist, worse. There is no one who thinks the biggest problem with air travel right now is not having an area to do pull-ups.

Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement. "If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."

Today, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly released the following statement:
"When / was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. / upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since / retired - which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents.
"In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much.
"Secretary Hegseth's tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President's posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death.
"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution."

you'd think the forced displacement of 10 million people from one of the oldest centres of civilisation in human history would get a little more news attention than beltway journalists writing essays on how Olivia Nuzzi is a genius because they want to bone her and you'd be wrong

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

I’ll go ahead and say I don’t believe Trump had anything to do with pleasuring Bill Clinton because Trump doesn’t strike me as the kind of fellow who wants to give any of his partners pleasure. That’d require a bit more empathy than he contains.

Trump bragged about grappling women by the pu**y & barging into rooms of partially dressed, young pageant contestants. A jury concluded he assaulted E. Jean Carroll in a dressing room. So nothing that’s in the Epstein emails is a surprise. It’s just confirmation.

Did we forget what the word “protect” means? It doesn’t mean “cave when the other side suggests they might hold the football for kicking before they yoink it away again because we’re so gullible.”

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.
