Your yearly reminder that the Republican-controlled Congress still refuses to place this plaque inside the Capitol Building to honor the men and women who defended democracy on January 6, 2021. Shame on them. #January6

Hey, don’t worry, I’m sure they will stand up like Chuck Schumer asks.

Dems, release another batch of the Epstein Files on Monday.

Don't let Trump and Republicans distract.

Keep him cornered.

What JD Vance really means by this is that Maduro is bound by US laws but Trump is not.
January 3, 2026 at 8:38 PM
This, and keep in mind that Maduro's character is beside the point. Trump's motivation was absolutely not to return democracy to Venezuela.
My villain origin story is going to be people saying "but he's objectively evil" JUST LIKE THEY DID WITH SADDAM HUSSEIN IN 2002 and 2003.

WE KNOW BUT THIS IS ILLEGAL AND CORRUPT.

We can live without billionaires but billionaires cannot live without us, in the same way that a body can live without cancer, but cancer cannot live without a body.

Been mulling over cancelling my Paramount subscription - what happens next could influence that decision.
Expect a "revolt" among 60 Minutes staff over Bari Weiss pulling the CECOT segment at the last minute, one network insider told me.

Another CBS News reporter added that a Rubicon had been crossed with this decision, which 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi called "political" and not editorial.

This is right, even more so if we consider the level of reform that will be required.
i’m going to be frank, i do not believe supreme court reform happens with this current crop of senate democrats. it’s the exact same people who refused to use their power in 2021
this didn’t get nearly enough attention yesterday. senators surrendered to protect the filibuster

In another world, it would be hilarious that Dem leadership was driven by focus groups and polling when a huge chunk of the population knows nothing at all about current events.
This is also about reading. Reading!
Just 15% of US adults under 30 now say they follow the news all or most of the time, down from 27% in 2016. Attention to news has fallen in every age group. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...
