“Competence, experience, and integrity are no longer requirements for positions of the highest authority and responsibility in the U.S. government. Trump’s nominees are a threat to our national security and the rule of law. Putin couldn’t have asked for more.”

Trump’s New Team Is a Gift to America’s Enemies
Their incompetence will weaken the United States. Their instability will leave them vulnerable to being compromised.

More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm RFK Jr.

The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice. But Kennedy is a threat they could not ignore, one said. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...
Nobel Laureates Urge Senate to Turn Down Kennedy’s Nomination
Elevating Mr. Kennedy to secretary of H.H.S. “would put the public’s health in jeopardy,” more than 75 laureates wrote.

Historically, it seems pretty common that the billionaire class instigates a culture war to avoid a class war. But with 14 billionaires and counting in Trump’s administration, it’s going to be difficult to ignore.

“I’m not intimidated by a man whose actions on January 6th showed a cowardly disregard for democracy and the rule of law. A man too frightened to serve in the military, and a who requires a strong man like Putin to feel secure.” Amen!

Bring It On, Donald: The January 6 Committee Stands on Truth
Donald Trump’s latest threat to “jail” members of the January 6 Committee is nothing more than the desperate howl of a man who knows history will regard him with shame.

Two years ago today we were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for protecting The US Capitol on January 6th 2021. Almost 4 years later the efforts to downplay, whitewash and minimize what happened appear to be succeeding. I won't ever stop standing up to them.

🔥🔥Rep. Deluzio does NOT hold back, calling out the incoming Trump admin proposal to slash $119 billion from the VA budget—gutting critical care for those who served:

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who has paid into Social Security their entire adult life and is determined to make sure Republicans keep their filthy fucking hands off of our benefits.

Same goes for our Medicare and the Affordable Care Act.

HANDS. OFF.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

While legacy media focuses on the umpeenth Hunter Biden story, they ignore that Republicans are *right now* trying to overturn the election in North Carolina by challenging 60,000 votes in the state Supreme Court race won by Democrat Allison Riggs.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment
