Only a strong and powerful leader like Trump can bring this war ravaged city back from the brink of destruction and anarchy.

Mike Johnson only wants Lee Greenwood to perform the halftime show at the Super Bowl because Lawrence Welk is dead and therefore unavailable.

Donald Trump is calling for the jailing of his political opponents in Chicago. His DOJ lackeys have already indicted a NJ Congresswoman for conducting ICE facility oversight and James Comey. John Bolton's house was raided.

We must treat these latest threats seriously and all stand up against them.

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California.

DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states.

We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files.

My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA.

I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

Today I wrote about why my law firm is currently litigating 63 voting and election cases in 30 states. While the legacy media focuses on other things, Trump has launched a wholesale attack on free and fair elections.

Every nonwhite woman is in his head every day

As much as any man who has lived since the 1800s, this one cannot deal with strong women and *particularly* cannot deal with strong women of color existing in public let alone challenging him

Men have had 10,000 years to lead humanity, and that interminable epoch led to this equally interminable concert.

I think we—I mean men—are officially done.

This concert was our grand finale.

Women—and only women—should lead the world for the next 10,000 years. Let’s see where that gets humanity.

Milei capers around on stage whilst the country falls to pieces. This is a perfect encapsulation of his role, a narcisistic fool who clowns around and holds peoples attention whilst the Argentine ruling class reduces the country back to the level of neo-colonial dependency last seen prior to 1914.

Though I'm a Musk biographer, I can't make the following claim with certainty—only contend that it's informed speculation.

I don't think Musk thinks *we're* in a simulation.

I think Musk thinks *he's* in a simulation.

Take a moment to process what that means about the value of human life to Musk.

Comey's lead attorney says several aspects of the charges still need to be clarified with their team.

On the indictment: "We still have not been told who Person 3 and Person 1 are."

"We still haven't been told precisely what is in count 1 or count 2."

Mike Johnson said he would swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva "as soon as she wants." His office then backtracked — saying Johnson would only swear in the duly elected Grijalva once the government reopens. Grijalva won her special election more than two weeks ago.

In my new podcast, we're traveling to a quiet road in rural Wisconsin that’s become infamous for dozens of sightings—stretching back decades—of a strange creature known as the Beast of Bray Road. The entity has become one of America's most enduring cryptid stories.

It’s my STRANGEST podcast yet! 🎧👹

As alarmed as people may be, they aren't alarmed enough. Trump just escalated this crisis from a fight between the federal government and a state, to a situation where one state is deploying armed forces to impose its will on another state. www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

New from me:
newrepublic.com/article/2014...

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.
