Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Raskin: "It seems we live in a time when it's very easy to forgive sexual abusers, assailants, rapists, and sexual harassers who have a lot of power and wealthy in society, but very hard to forgive their victims for fighting back. Look what's going on across the hallway ... "

I’m not even remotely worried about a trans woman being in my bathroom, but I’m fucking sick with worry about a serial sexual abuser being in my White House.

Every question from the senators should have been job specific like this. This demonstrates lack of preparedness. This could have convinced 3 republicans he isn’t the right one for the job
YIKES! Duckworth asks Hegseth to name a country that's in ASEAN. He names three -- none of which are in ASEAN.

"I suggest you do a little homework," she says.

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees it's the height of hypocrisy to demand highest standards for soldiers, but then lower the standards for Secretary of Defense to woman-abusing drunk Pete Hegseth.

Didn't Earn It, just like convicted felon 47.

This is Mullin spelling out the reason Hegseth, once chosen, must be granted his position (like Kavanaugh before him): conservative men must be allowed to behave irresponsibly, abusively, shamefully, without their right to hold power coming into question. Patriarchy before principles.
Markwayne Mullin: "Senator Kaine, or I guess I better use the senator from Virginia, starts bringing up the fact that 'what if you showed up drunk to your job?' How many senators have shown up drunk to vote at night? ... how many senators have gotten a divorce for cheating?"

He’s a sexist. He’s a predator. He’s an angry drunk. He’s Donald Trump's unqualified first choice for Secretary of Defense. Even though MAGA has been tossing Pete Hegseth softballs in his hearing all morning, remember that he’s nothing more than what his accusers say he is.

Last night's full moon, also known as the Wolf Moon, was so bright. I didn't get any good shots of the moon and Mars, but it was pretty spectacular.

Let's remember the compassion GOP politicians have shown California, especially when the Texas power grid craps out in a few months or when hurricane season rolls into Florida.

Rep. French Hill on federal aid to California: "I would be for conditions if people can find ways to attach federal conditions to that aid."

"It does have to do with that ideology of the climate change agenda," Maria Bartiromo replies.

As 2025 begins, so does the year’s first full moon, which also marks the last of four consecutive supermoons, according to NASA. Known as the “wolf moon,” it gets its name from the idea that wolves howl during January’s long, cold nights.

California pays more in federal taxes than it receives in return, while Mike Johnson’s Louisiana takes more than it gives.
Mike Johnson just threatened to potentially extort California by adding “conditions” to wildfire disaster relief aid.

He said Republicans might attach unrelated things to the funding, like Trump’s demand to raise the debt ceiling.
Johnson confirms 'discussions' on tying wildfire aid to debt limit
Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters one option on the table is making a new tranche of disaster relief funding for the California wildfires conditional on agreeing to raise the debt ceiling.
