It is necessary to remember this today. Our country has failed to learn the important lessons of five years ago, and we are worse for it.

Just watched the cancelled 60 Minutes CECOT episode. Great example of the Streisand effect. I would have never seen it had they not cancelled it. Embarrassing and sad that the US government is using foreign prisons. #60Minutes #CECOT #Clownshow

WATCH: The 60 Minutes CECOT Segment
I was sent the CECOT segment anonymously in a group chat.

MAGA is going to love this precedent when the next Democrat to be President applies it to gun control. So much of the GOP indulging Trump is so short sighted. They are paving the way for their own demise.

Is it possible to contribute to a Democrat without involving the Act Blue perpetual spam machine? For example Mark Kelly's website routes donations to Act Blue and doesn't have a direct way to contribute that avoids trashing your phone number.

MTG’s audition video for the role of queen of MAGA as the next generation tries to unseat Trump in his current weakness. There will be more suitors in this race. The weaker Trump gets, the more opportunists will jump into the race.
BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene announces she is resigning from Congress. Her last day in office will be January 5, 2026.

This is Mamdani’s “these aren’t the droids you’re looking for” moment. Trump has always fawned over people with combinations of charisma, power, wealth, and popularity. Mamdani has enough of those things that Trump once again wants to be seen with “the cool kids”

The ongoing corruption in the Oval Office is too often overshadowed by the outrage of the day. This is important to pay attention to.
Trump probably gets away with it, but we have to protect the country from the next Trump, to put better guardrails in place.

It’s time for another one of my MAGA reality checks. If you know anyone who still proudly dons the red hat, please share this with them. They need to know what’s happening, and they’re not hearing it on Fox or OAN.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...
Hey MAGA, Here’s More of What Fox News Won’t Tell You
Sorry MAGA, but I won’t stop putting the truth in front of you

The importance of this is that whether or not you believe in MTG’s sincerity (I don’t), her saying these things creates cracks in the MAGA movement that give some voters the permission to break from it and break from Trump. She’s obviously distancing herself from something she sees coming.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

This is the immune system of a democracy that is being challenged. Its messy and chaotic, and its also the American Way...
The people in the goofy inflatable costumes who are supporting fellow citizens are infinitely more patriotic than the red hats supporting a single leader...

Goodbye to Disney+/ABC streaming. Patriots don’t allow interference with freedom of speech. This country was founded on principles that are more important than entertainment. It’s not about what Kimmel said, it’s about whether politicians dictate what we see and hear.

It’s sad that this is all too often true. The right really has to get back to having principles and not treating everything through a partisan lens. This didn’t used to be the case.
