Gong-xi-fa-tsai! Happy New Year!

January 29, 2025 is the first day of the Year of the Snake, and I've just finished my annual Chinese New Year Special. I used to be on the NPR station in Atlanta, and started doing this in 2003. Warning: it is an hour long!

The Department of Justice is acting like Donald Trump’s personal attorney and law firm.

This is abhorrent.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Does that surprise anybody? ➡️ US President Donald Trump's remarks in a recent interview with @politico.com regarding #Ukraine are in line with Moscow's position, said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

Congress just gave $900 billion to the US military in case you were wondering if there were any repercussions for blowing up civilian ships on the high seas. Meanwhile, the FIFA peace participation trophy guy still manages to keep the Epstein list out of the headlines.

I'm pretty sure she got into politics to be "famous." I suspect she has a reality TV deal, and THAT'S why she's leaving Congress...
A lot of the people lamenting Marjorie Taylor Greene’s departure from Congress—and celebrating her as some kind of principled maverick—are going to end up eating their words when she reemerges in 2028 to help lead a pro-groper, pro-Fuentes “America First” faction of the GOP.

Donald Trump promised lower costs. Instead, his policies are hiking energy prices and squeezing working families.

While billionaires and fossil fuel companies reap the rewards, Trump is dismantling clean energy projects while Americans are left paying more just to keep the lights on.
