Montage of clips of Trump “guaranteeing” that he will end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office, that “it wouldn’t even be tough” for him to do, and that “everyone will be happy” with the end result.

WELKER: Can you commit that California disaster relief won't have strings attached?
MIKE JOHNSON: No, I won't commit to that ... when state and local officials make foolish policy decisions that make the disaster exponentially worse, we need to factor that in.

Johnson sure missed the mark on this one.
Nope. Wrong. Newsom is doing what all Democrats need to do in this new era where right-wing oligarchs, politicians and influencers hit you with a steady barrage of lies. This is part of the job now for elected officials. You know it works because of how much they whine about it.

The fact that Google is seeing a spike in searches for 'oligarchy' following Biden's last speech speaks volumes about where we're headed.

They screamed the border was wide open for years.
Now they simply showed what's actually happening and credit Trump.

Revenge of the Tipping Point is the first audio book I ever did on 1.5x
I love Gladwell's tone and tempo but I've been painting the house and wanted something to spark my interest.
A fantastic revisiting of the Tipping Point 25 years later.
Give it a chance.

Didn't think so.

COLLINS: How's the bad behavior of a senator a defense of someone who wants to run the Pentagon?
MULLIN: It's not. What I was trying to get to is if you're capable of doing your job and you're able to still drink on the job or late in the evening, don't tell me that Pete can't

Hegseth’s nomination, I just realized, is another chance to recommend the two books that all Americans should read to understand what the military does, and the cost to the people who do it:
“The Good Soldiers” and its
sequel of a sort, “Thank You For Your Service,” by David Finkel.

Just remember that they're banning TikTok not because China has your data, but because it won't censor and throttle anti MAGA content.
How do we know it isn't about China having your data? Meta already sold it. It's in the terms of service.
This was a push for MAGA aligned investors to get a deal.

Women make up less than 5% of most departments.
For generations they were not allowed to even apply.
NY didn't allow women to apply until the 1980s.

If they challenge the ballots they have to throw out the Presidential votes too...right?
The Republican majority on the North Carolina Supreme Court blocked the certification of a Democratic justice’s victory, “opening the door to them just flat-out stealing an election the Democrats won narrowly but fair and square,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social.

Starting to get the inlaws and my dad off Facebook.
Over the holiday both inlaws sat and scrolled like toddlers watching AI videos and telling us about things that never happened.
It was amazing for sharing as the kids grew up but now it's just a cess pool of misinformation.
