A federal judge finds the Trump admin has "not complied" with his TRO blocking the blanket suspension of foreign aid funding, but stops short of holding it in contempt.

remarkable that the White House cannot just say that Putin is responsible for Putin's war
DOOCY: Who does Trump think is more responsible for Ukraine? Putin or Zelenskyy?
WALTZ: Well look, his goal Peter is to bring this war to an end. Period.

Yes. And this will, of course, include democratic opposition in elections.
New pod: @adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com is terrific on how Trump's second term is likely to be a kind of "personalist" authoritarian rule, which conditions his voters to believe that "any aspect of the system that acts against him in any way is illegitimate."

They want more than a pardon. They want history rewritten. And that might happen.
More than 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants are hoping President-elect Donald Trump will grant them pardon.
Many have accused prosecutors of inflating the charges against them, despite copious video and other evidence.

Jan 6th was a violent attack on our country, not a “day of love.” The truth is well documented, witnessed by dozens of GOP officials, it’s up to us to defend it against the relentless lies. My latest:

For most of my life the Republican strategy is to prevent Democrats from doing popular things and they keep getting rewarded for it. At the same time, Democrats keep trying to seek common ground and they are punished. Over and over again. Be kinda nice if some lessons were learned and applied.
