No one is OK right now.

At least, no one with working empathy and a knowledge of History who’s paying attention.

It is an emotional impossibility to be living in days like the ones we’re in and to be fully unaffected.

I would have lost all respect for the Nobel Prize Committee if they had given it to him. Time to clean the ketchup off the walls of the White House..... again.

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

Indiana voters: Let your legislators know you don’t like having elections rigged in your state.
Screenshot of a tweet from Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) on X. The tweet reads: ‘Turns out… RIGGING ELECTIONS IS NOT POPULAR. Keep up the pressure. It’s working.’ Below it is an embedded tweet from journalist Adam Wren reporting that Donald Trump’s mid-cycle redistricting push in Indiana is stalling, with Republican officials warning the White House.

The Nobel Prize Committee are not ignorant. They know full well he does not deserve the award. I just hope they don't bend to pressure.

It’s been over two weeks! Swear her in! And release the Epstein files.
Screenshot of a tweet from journalist Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) on X. The tweet shows a transcript from a NEWSNATION interview with Mike Johnson. The interviewer asks why he won’t swear in Adelita Grijalva, suggesting it’s to block her vote on an Epstein discharge petition. Johnson replies that Democrats are using distractions and red herrings and says it’s only a scheduling issue that will be addressed once Democrats vote to reopen the government. Continuation of the NEWSNATION interview transcript shared by Aaron Rupar. The interviewer points out that Republicans have been sworn in during pro forma sessions and asks why it should be different for a Democrat. Mike Johnson replies that the two Florida representatives sworn in earlier were an exception because they had flown their families in for the ceremony. Final part of the tweet thread showing a screenshot from a NEWSNATION broadcast. The interviewer asks if Adelita Grijalva would be sworn in if she flew in her family. Mike Johnson responds that these are distractions. The split-screen broadcast shows the interviewer on the left, Mike Johnson in the center, and a clip of Adelita Grijalva speaking at a podium outdoors on the right. The headline reads: ‘WHY IT MATTERS: GRJALVA TO BE SWORN IN ONCE GOV’T REOPENED.’ A timer below shows ‘Government shutdown in 6 days.’

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com explains during James Comey’s arraignment, the judge knew he was “watching a legal Trump clown show” while the “humiliated inexperienced lawyer” Lindsey Halligan sat by silently.

THE FAKE PRESIDENT OF PEACE: Trump isn’t the “President of Peace.” He’s the President of War against truth, democracy, and even his own country. His narcissism, lies, and hunger for credit have made the world less safe.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Why did you edit the Herr Miller video where he said that Trump has "Plenary Authority"?! When did CNN become yet another propaganda machine for the current regime? Seriously, SHAME ON YOU! You do realize that the original video is still out there right?

Hi @cnn.com -

On behalf of the 2/3s of Americans who DID NOT VOTE for Trump, pls STOP reporting on what he SAYS (LIES) and start reporting on what he DOES (LIES).

Best,
The Majority

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Ford on Tariffs: But there has to be a point that, if Prime Minister Carney can’t get a deal, we have to start hitting back.

We can’t just keep rolling over to President Trump. As he strengthens his case, we seem to be weakening our case by continuously pulling off tariffs.

James Comey is not a GNAT to be gotten rid of.

Trump’s turned the DOJ into a revenge machine — staging show trials through Pam Bondi and a beauty-pageant lawyer. This isn’t law & order. It’s a dictator auditioning for absolute power. ⬇️
Trump’s Political Persecution of Comey is Flagrant Criminal Abuse of Power
CALLING DEMS "GNATS" TO BE "GOTTEN RID OF" IS A DANGEROUS NATIONAL DISGRACE

This you, Kristi?
A screenshot of a post from X (formerly Twitter). The top tweet is from user @covie_93 with the caption: “This tweet aged like Stephen Miller…..”. Below it is a tweet from Kristi Noem (@KristiNoem) that reads: “If Joe Biden federalizes the National Guard, that would be a direct attack on states' rights. Over the last several years, we've seen Democrats try to take away our Freedoms of religion, assembly, and speech. We can't let them take away our right to defend ourselves, too. South Dakota defends the Constitution.”

At a time when we should be guaranteeing health care to all Americans as a human right, President Trump and his Republican colleagues are threatening to make our broken system even worse by doubling premiums for more than 20 million Americans.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.
Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators
