I start my day with @hcrichardson.bsky.social and then turn to my feed here on Bluesky.
She does a wonderful job of putting today's events in context, but I'm always saddened at how much more this administration is doing that she could have included.
Republicans need to stop this.

If this is who we are now, and, let's face it, this IS who we are now, then a new sphere of consumer information would be helpful.
Such as Sarah Jeong's advice on the BEST GAS MASKS FOR THOSE THINKING ABOUT PROTESTING under today's government oppression.

An assailant approached Ilhan Omar and sprayed her with an unknown substance. We know he did this because it's on video. The man was tackled and arrested. Ostensibly, they have the syringe he used, as well.
Thank god the FBI is investigating.

Hey, Donny, Steve, and especially Mar a Lago Kristi - do you really need to know that I vote straight Democratic ticket every time?
Well, there you go. Now you don't have to "surge" ICE into my neighborhood.

We blow up small boats off the coast of Venezuela. Then we commandeer oil tankers leaving Venezuela. Then we drop bombs on Caracas and nearby military installations while kidnapping their president and his wife.

1,000,000 Americans died. The number itself is so staggering that we cannot begin to comprehend. We all saw photos of refrigerated trailers serving as morgues, but it didn't sink in. Over 90% of those 1,000,000 Americans were UNVACCINATED and died needlessly.
That was COVID. Now do measles.

Eight Democrats (with nothing to lose) voted to re-open the federal government last time, gaining nothing.
Seven Democrats crossed the line this time, too.
I don't buy that it's always JUST ENOUGH Democratic votes to guarantee passage. Why were these seven "allowed" to vote with Republicans?

I guess it can rightly be said that every elected Republican either supports what these ICE agents are doing or sits silently, hoping to avoid blame.
As for the 7 Democrats who voted to continue this assault on America, primary them all.

Went out this morning for gas for the snowblower. Not going anywhere near a grocery store. Panic buying for what will be probably two days stuck at home. At most.

Van Drew used his time to expose himself as a clown.
He (who ran and was elected as a Democrat and immediately declared he was actually a Republican) called Jack Smith a hypocrite. Why? Because the investigation centered only on Republicans.
NOT A SINGLE DEMOCRAT PARTICIPATED IN JANUARY 6th.

The "internal memo" that suggests that ICE can just knock down your door and invade your home on the basis of a DHS official's signature has about the same legal standing as the "internal memo" in the Department of Justice that suggests that a sitting president cannot be indicted.

YET ANOTHER WAPO WRITER tries and fails to define "Trumpism."
This is a word thrown around in opinion pages, but nobody can say what it is. In fact, the idea that Donald John Trump has a definable and consistent policy is ridiculous.
Unless "Trumpism" is "what's in it for me?"

25th amendment now!
The only upside to a J.D. Vance presidency is that idea that Republicans in Congress won't collectively kneel before him as they did with Donald Trump.
We might actually see Congress do stuff, y'know, like legislating.

Every Republican in every level of government who acquiesced, who stayed silent, who participated in this assault on America has the Trump Taint©.

It's more that he gave them permission to be their true selves. And we're seeing the results.
