Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.

"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."

It's a must-read:

unlike Vietnam or Afghanistan at least the Marines coming to.L.A. know exactly what this fight is all about

It certainly looks like Elon Musk’s henchmen stole all the data from the agency which protects workers rights, tried to cover it up, and then threatened to kill the guy who blew the whistle on it.

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.

Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

From Fox’s Chief National Security reporter. Who can’t seem to get any airtime lately. For some reason.

The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.

“I insist on being shocked. I am never going to become immune. I think that’s a kind of failure to see so much of it that you die inside. I want to be surprised and shocked every time.”

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months?

Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!

Proud of Indivisible for mobilizing over 200 actions this week which they kicked off Sunday night. It doesn’t matter where you are, the Senate needs to feel pressure to stop Elon’s coup and everyone can take action.

FEEDBACK: A viewer questions Rep Lauren Boebert (R-CO) offering a Capitol tour to pardoned J6 rioters. But I can see why.

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Another promise, trashed.

This is wild. Dems would have taken control of Congress 218-217 had we won 2022 North Carolina Supreme Court races. But instead, GOP won the NC Supreme Court and gerrymandered 3 Dem seats into completely non-existence. Instead R’s now control the house 220-215.

Apparently he wants to cut veterans health benefits, medicaid and food stamps first.
I bet social security will be on the chopping block next. 🤦

If you don't think Donald Trump is gonna harass anyone who spoke against him, you're not paying attention.

Bro wants to investigate Ann Selzer for a poll?

Seriously?
