to those Republicans who aren't angry incels or QAnon loons, but instead are GOP electeds and professionals: are you proud of what you've done? are you happy watching him shatter the rule of law, ruin lives and degrade America's place in the world? was it worth the money?

I love my country with all my heart and I've never been more embarrassed for America than the spectacle I just witnessed in the Oval Office. Zelensky is fighting for the survival of his country, his people and their democracy. Trump and Vance appear to be completely aligned with Putin, the invader whose aim has been to conquer Ukraine. Zelensky should know that millions and millions of Americans still stand with him and his valiant people.

Our western allies need to speak up and frankly so do Republicans in U.S. Congress. This is shameful.

Here's this remarkable paragraph from @jonathanalter's reflections as Carter's biographer:

Hunter Here’s the reality. No USAtty would have charged this case given the underlying facts. After a 5 year investigation the facts as discovered only made that clear. Had his name been Joe Smith the resolution would have been - fundamentally and more fairly - a declination. Pardon warranted. Ask yourself a vastly more important question. Do you really think Kash Patel is qualified to lead the world’s preeminent law enforcement investigative organization? Obvious answer: hell no.

.@Timodc tears into the nomination of Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense: “It’s like if somebody’s personal life is that much of a disaster, would you want them in one of the most important jobs in the world? I mean, maybe if they had the resume for it…but he’s a talk show host. A weekend morning talk show host”

The GOP wants to give the new president Orwellian powers to impose a Kafkaesque nightmare on America's nonprofits. What could go wrong with the new administration having the power to designate groups as "terrorist-supporting" with no judicial determination and no due process?

Hoping and praying this is not true. Because leaving a vacancy open now on a Deep South appellate court like the Fourth Circuit--where we have worked for decades to reform it & make it less hostile to civil rights--would be political malpractice of the highest order.

Not a mandate. 238,000 voters in the blue wall change the Presidency.

Navarro: Bill Clinton had two AG nominees who had to withdraw because they had employed illegal nannies. Matt Gaetz is accused of sleeping with a girl who's almost young enough to need a nanny

Jon Stewart urges Democrats to ditch the rule-following and take a page from the Republican playbook: start exploiting loopholes

The first rule: Do not comply in advance. What is this?!!

Just the way I like my Karma. Instant. And @morningmika when a misogynist sex predator calls a woman "charming, as usual" it ain't a compliment. It's your fawning fraud and compliant complicity he finds charming.

Your “friend” Congressman Elijah Cummings must be rolling over in his grave @JoeNBC @Morning_Joe @morningmika. WHY???

I am leaving this place. It is a TOXIC cult. Spews racism, misogyny, lies and ignorance…..social media’s @FoxNews (aka US government media as of January 20, 2024). You can find me on Blue Sky @judithbyrdnyc.bsky.social and Threads @judybyrd_nyc

Blacks for Trump. Don’t worry, we just want yall to know you’re not qualified.

So, we’re replacing a former four-star general as Defense Secretary with… the weekend co-host of Fox and Friends? Unbelievable. Just... wow.

If Trump & Elon’s “little secret” was to use Starlink in swing states to tally the votes & rig the election - an investigation & hand recount is crucial. Now.

Keep sharing this….Elon Musk’s Starlink should be investigated #Recount2024 #TrumpCheated 💯

BREAKING: Jessica Tarlov just slammed Donald Trump for lying to the American people by claiming to not know what Project 2025 is and then hiring its author, Tom Homan. Make sure every American sees this.
