Republicans use the "I'm not familiar with that" dodge several times a day now, and if a reporters or anchor isn't ready and willing to shut them down as soon as they try it, that means they're either incompetent at their job or a willing accomplice to the lies.

Either way, never trust them again.
If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there.

“I’m sorry, Senator, we wanted to get your perspective on this story, but it seems you’re not fully aware of what’s going on.”

The regime has named the illegal, fascist occupation of New Orleans by ICE and CBP "Catahoula Crunch". Activists bought the domain name & it now directs people to local & national resources for those directly dealing with this daily terror.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

This is exactly what churches should be doing, calling out injustice.

📌 Lake Street Church Nativity: a bold social justice statement with ICE-like Roman soldiers, the Virgin Mary in a gas mask, baby Jesus zip-tied, Joseph on the ground, pushing viewers to think about immigration.

Netflix quietly filmed a final interview with Dr. Jane Goodall, to be released only after her death.

In it, she jokes about blasting Trump and Elon Musk into space… then leaves the world with two words:

“Don’t lose hope.”

A legendary sign-off.💙🧡💙

Same goes in peacetime.

"Maritime law requires masters of vessels to render assistance to any person in danger at sea, provided it doesn't place their own vessel, crew, or passengers in serious jeopardy, establishing a universal duty of rescue"

This applies in any man/persons overboard scenario
It's really simple

The Geneva Conventions requires all parties to a conflict to search for, collect, and care for wounded, sick, and shipwrecked military personnel and others in peril at sea, without discrimination.....

Not sure how much more clear that could be.

Unlike previous goofy fuckups conflating Hanukkah and Christmas, this was a conscious decision. They wanted to use the same "branding" for "all holiday parties" at the Veep's residence, so what's the big deal?

So far, in less than one year, Donald Trump has issued over TEN TIMES as many pardons as he did in his entire four-year first term. That’s a lot of criminals released onto our streets.

These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

All corporate CEOs should understand: If you agree to attend an event at the White House, you are very likely to be filmed nodding appreciatively at a delusional racist rant. If you're ok with that, go. If not, you probably should stay away.

They are beating people who maybe once had a broken taillight and sending them to foreign slave prisons while freeing the worst fraudsters and every corrupt pol. The juxtaposition is so stark and appalling.
NEW: The commutation Trump issued to David Gentile wipes away all further fines & restitution.

Gentile had been sentenced to 7 years for his role in a $1.6B scheme that defrauded thousands of investors.

Prosecutors had been seeking $15.5M in forfeiture.
