Rep. Jim Himes @jahimes.bsky.social You’re a House Democrat and yet you're one of the ten Dems who voted to censure Al Green? You need to explain yourself.

BREAKING: Ontario’s terminating its $100-million deal with Starlink, and US companies will be barred from future contracts.

They warned NY, Michigan, and Minnesota if the tariffs persist, Ontario will impose a 25% surcharge on electricity and may cut off the supply entirely.

The Hegseth hearing is doing one thing incredibly well: it’s establishing that when his leadership at DoD fails, it’ll be clear that GOP Senators knew, excused it, and they own it. Serious concerns about experience & judgment are literally being laughed off.

New in PN: North Carolina Republicans restart the steal

"The entire state supreme court affair is a microcosm of the last several years, a one-stop-shop highlighting all the ways in which Republicans have used the nonexistent problem of election fraud to destroy trust and make it harder to vote."
North Carolina Republicans restart the steal
If you can't beat 'em, try to get 60,000 votes tossed out.

My first principle for the new year: When it comes to issues involving democracy, I do not seek compromise with Republicans. There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

This is the right's advantage. They look at the stapler and say, "This stapler could be used to put things together. They can't have that." And eventually, only rich people can get staples---made out of poor people.
It’s honestly pretty fucking ridiculous to go after Wikipedia. It’s like getting mad at a stapler.

Every Democratic lawmaker needs to be on television, radio, and social media hammering the shit out of Trump's embarrassing failure to get a continuing resolution passed with his cruel budget priorities. Make it hurt. Call out their incompetence. Show some goddamn fire.

This is important, but we need more people to summarize Pete Hegseth's book – he wants Brownshirts, which must be why he was nominated.
In 1989, Senator John Tower - in every dimension a radically more qualified nominee - lost a bid for SecDef because of unconfirmed rumors about his drinking habits
Breaking WaPo:

Pete Hegseth paid a woman who accused him of sexual assault as part of a nondisclosure agreement, though he maintains their encounter was consensual.

Hegseth's attorney says Hegseth was "visibly intoxicated" at the time of the incident. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
