It pains me to say it, but if the US is serious about "taking over" Greenland, then it is at least as great as security threat to Western Europe as Russia is.

And should be treated accordingly.

Every year @erininthemorning.com puts together a list of trans Girl Scouts that sell cookies. If you’d like to purchase some, please consider these girls. Trans youth have been under a vicious attack so it would be nice to show some support.

Thanks 🩵🤍🩷

If you're writing 1800 words about how we failed to account for January 6 and DON'T mention SCOTUS (particularly if you're comparing with Brazil) or impeachment, you're simply doing propaganda for the GOP.

The constitutional remedy for a president who launches a war of acquisition against an ally is impeachment, removal, disqualification, and ultimately a criminal trial. And the same is true for every member of his cabinet involved in such an illegal undertaking.

Never let a single goddamned person on the Right ever claim again that they’re the party of law and order without laughing in their lying face.
So Capitol Police officers were assaulted and injured on Jan 6th, the White House today is blaming them for the violence, and the people who attacked them have been pardoned and are back to mock and abuse them on the 5th anniversary.

And the GOP is the party of the police? Really? REALLY??
White House's newly-posted "timeline" of Jan 6 blames Capitol Police for Jan 6, which included an attack on ..... Capitol Police

Crockett: "Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

According to the White House, this is the "true" timeline of January 6th.

It's hard to overstate the comeuppance here. The WY Supreme Court just upheld the right to an abortion based on a state constitutional amendment pushed by *conservatives* that was designed to thwart Obamacare!
This is great news—and the decision relies on the state constitution’s right to “health care freedom,” which I wrote about last year: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

The lesson of January 6th is that it does absolutely no good to prosecute the the violent foot soldiers if you're not going to prosecute the leaders and hold them accountable for their sedition under the full force of the law.

A lot of people are mad at me for saying the Democrats should acknowledge reality while the Democrats are off still voting for Trump appointees. 🤷

Not crazy to say there was a much clearer criminal case against MBS, who ordered the murder of an American newspaper columnist, than there is against Maduro.

We're about to quickly re-up government funding by the end of this month because "no one wants a shutdown." Meanwhile Trump is enacting...a shutdown of TANF funds.
There are mechanisms to stop illegal withholding of appropriated funds, which won't be taken.

Republicans made welfare fraud in Minnesota the most important story in the country. Schumer turned a war for oil into a question about national security briefings.

The failure of our elites to hold Trump accountable for January 6th is as disgraceful as what happened on that awful day.

Since 2010, 35 democratic leaders around the world have been criminally convicted. Only Trump went unpunished and unconstrained.

Now he threatens democracy at home and abroad.

We need to throw RFK Jr. and everyone going along with him into jail for the rest of their lives, and we need to make it a day one policy. They are killing children with this. There is NO scientific basis for ANY of what they’re doing.
Children will die with RFK Jr.'s new vaccine recommendations. We're NOT doing the "experts disagree" game. The US vaccine schedule was painstakingly constructed through a deep & thorough process by experts with unquestionable expertise. This is policy by fiat. It is pre-meditated murder. 1/

IMO the argument is that you can make things into big enough deals that it matters. Khanna found Massey and found survivors and made the Epstein Files the gigantic story it should be. Only then did establishment Dems come along. You can, in fact, make things into big hairy deals if you do it right.
if you want the Senate to do something, Senate Republicans must do something.

People are dunking on this but I'm not really sure what plays Schumer has other than to try to peel off Rs.
Schumer: "Republicans must -- if there was ever a time, they must step up to the plate. This is the time. And if they don't, they're gonna feel the heat from their constituents."

The reason the Trump regime is trying to demolish the entire international order built after World War II is that they think the wrong side won that war.
