Baltimore Mayor Scott response on Trump: I think it's very notable that each and every one of the cities called out by the President has a black mayor, and most of those cities are seeing historic lows in violent crime…

GOP Rep. Dusty Johnson on Qatar gifting Trump a luxury plane: "I don't like it. There's a reason that people can't even buy me a steak dinner. It's not necessarily that you can prove I have an ethical problem, it's that the appearance of it doesn't look great."

I shudder to say he represents me in congress. What an embarrassment 🤮
Zinke dismisses ethics concerns about Qatar gifting Trump a luxury jet: "Remember who President Trump is. He's a billionaire businessman from New York. He doesn't sleep in a sleeping bag over night. He says, 'Hey, this is a great plane.'"

I keep watching this clip with something approaching yearning and I’m realizing it’s because we don’t hear this level of strategic realism—that the old world is gone and the old rules don’t apply—from anyone in leadership in the Democratic Party.

I think we have to agree that JD is such a sniveling little bitch.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?

A lot of people now see that Musk is a vile extremist. But many still struggle to accept that he is also an oblivious fool. Once you actually listen to what he has to say about the world, you realize it’s all faux-visionary nonsense layered on top of profound ignorance.
"This is in violation of a presidential executive order. It needs to stop" -- Elon Musk, on Hannity's show, makes clear he has no idea how the American government works by asserting that Trump can use executive orders to unilaterally impound funds appropriated by Congress

Crockett: "This is nothing more than another payday for Elon Musk bc we know that if there is any govt welfare to be handed out, it is consistently being handed out to Elon Musk, who stopped all the money to USAID while at the same time deciding that he would get another contract for over $300m."

They were invaded.
REPORTER: Do you view Ukraine as an equal member of this peace process?
TRUMP: Ummmm ... it's an interesting question. I think they have to make peace. That was not a good war to go into.

Note: Pam Bondi has ended the DOJ/FBI efforts to ID such disinformation efforts.
Donald Trump Jr has also shared this fake E! News video about USAID, which is the work of a well-known Russian influence operation that creates fake videos of major news outlets to disparage Ukraine.
This fake video now has more than 8 million views on X.

Oh that has increased to $100 million. Inflation?
I feel like every story describing the new ways DOGE [sic] is using AI should start by saying, "this is the same AI that the DOGE [sic] boys used to claim that USAID spend $60M on condoms in Gaza."

Ya happy now Mitch? Proud of yourself?
Trump apparently has released former Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio, top level leader of the insurrection. (unclear whether it's a pardon or commutation.)
Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio is being processed for release in anticipation of clemency from Trump, according to this lawyer, @nytimes.com reports. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

We must heed his warning.

1. The flag at inauguration is to be at Half Staff because it'll be on land. The term Half Mast refers to flags flown on ships (get it)?
2. The flag was at half staff for Nixon's 1973 inauguration, because of the Dec. 1972 death of Harry Truman.

Americans should NEVER have to hear or read any version of the words “Elon Musk says”!
This racist illegal immigrant(?) doesn’t deserve a voice in our government especially to head a “department.” Note: Presidents do NOT have the authority to create a department!!!

For the second time, Trump plans to oust an FBI director before end of term. FBI directors’ terms are purposely structured to overlap presidencies to prevent such partisan loyalist appointments. Reason to worry No. 873.
