It’s not our duty to just smile and nod when a man with this much power demonstrates that he’s a pathological liar and an imbecile. Quite the contrary. Real patriots say out loud this is just plain nuts and he’s unfit to hold office.
Trump: "It's funny, I settled 8 wars. Some were going on for 35 years. And we got them settled in a couple of days. Some of them -- one was going on for 37 years. I settled it in one day. But this is a very complex one."

RFK Jr and Trump rolled back a Biden regulation that required nursing care homes that received Medicare and Medicaid payments to have a registered nurse on site 24/7.

Effective January 1st — those rules no longer apply.

So choose carefully when making medical care decisions for your loved ones.

Zelensky arrives in the US for talks with Trump. NO US officials greet him. Not one. Just Ukraine’s ambassador while Trump waits at Mar-a-Lago.

That’s not diplomacy. That’s a deliberate snub of an ally at war and a very clear signal of where Trump stands!

A nice thread in which an actual expert patiently explains why the Secretary of Health and Human Service is not simply a liar, but an especially stupid one.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

Born deaf and blind, she's caught in Trump's anti-diversity crusade:

A program for deafblind children helped 3-year-old Annie Garner, born with poor vision and no ears, learn to communicate. The Trump admin cut the program's funding over diversity goals.

His attempt to embarrass President Zelenskyy will backfire and humiliate the United States instead…

I just taught my lecture course on mid-20th c US history, which starts with Harding and concludes with Nixon.

For the first time, I had to pause and stress that those scandals were actually shocking at the time and, what’s more, that Americans actually demanded people be held accountable.
All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.
Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:

Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

If you’re looking for something to watch this weekend, I recommend Cover-Up. It’s an excellent documentary about the life and career of Seymour Hersh and the atrocities committed by our government from Vietnam to the current regime. What an extraordinary and heartbreaking career.

This should be the first thing Trump is impeached for. Easy to prove and easy for the public to understand.
If this is true, it is the most impeachable offense ever.

I had missed this. Perverse even by the standards of the Trump White House. They’re threatening to pull student aid from Brown over the shooting www.nbcboston.com/news/local/t...
Trump administration investigates Brown's security after shooting
The Department of Education said its Office of Federal Student Aid would investigate if Brown University violated the Higher Education Act in connection with the deadly shooting on Dec. 13.

How are these fits of presidential incontinence never covered as their own news events in NYT? Hours of sick hateful bile from the curdled joyless leader of the Christian nationalists sitting in the ruins of the tinsel trimmed White House he’s demolishing — seems like a story to me.

271,000 people have lost their jobs and federal spending has ctually increased. So people get less services, while we added debt paying for private jets for Kristi Noem, bulletproof cars for Kash Patel. This is what the rust belt voters demanded.

What is VERY "transparent" is their consistent criminality.

No attempts to hide the end results.

Just hiding enough to avoid being held accountable.
