Tonight's 'America Unhinged' on YouTube saw hosts Waj and Francesca take on Trump's ethnic cleansing plan in Gaza; his seeming blackmailing of Eric Adams; his bullying of judges; the Pope's intervention, and more.

Donald the mob boss!

This is a slap in the face to American women.

Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations.

Our troops deserve better.

Drives me crazy. If you don’t want to fight say so. Stop trying to discourage others from doing the work you’re too jaded to do.

You try 50 times and win the 51st. That’s how it works. Progress happens when you find ways to make it matter. And sometimes it’s just your persistence.

Glad MAGA voters are hearing what Musk, Vivek, and the elites of the GOP think of them. They've always looked down on Trump voters. They mock them as stupid and ignorant behind their backs. Now Musk is calling them "contemptible fools."

Well, here's your new master, MAGA. Enjoy.

The Democratic Party Sacrifices Its Young To Protect The Establishment

By selecting Rep. Connolly over AOC to lead the House Oversight Committee, the Democratic Party chooses to continue the ossified status quo instead of much-needed reform & growth.

Today we learned that Trump intends to allow ICE to make arrests in churches, schools and hospitals.

Today we learned FBI Director Christopher Wray is too cowardly to stand up to Trump and is resigning.

Today we’re reminded that we need people of courage to oppose this hostile takeover.

By contrast, in Biden’s inaugural, set against the backdrop of the climate crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the threat of rising fascism, Biden didn’t use the word government even once.

Instead, he said it was time for America to come together.

The weakening of the Democratic Party…

Dr. Vinay Prasad is out there defending UnitedHealthcare, denying that it denies claims for profit, and calling for masks to be illegal in the wake of the killing of its CEO.

Incidentally, he cited consulting fees from UHC as a conflict of interest on a January 2023 paper.

#TiktokBan what to know:
-A Peter Thiel backed rep championed legislation to give the President the power to ban “foreign adversary owned” apps
-TikTok sued claiming Citizens United gives them 1A rights
-A DC court found it DOES NOT
-Ban takes effect Jan 19 UNLESS
-Biden grants a 90 day extension

PRESIDENT BIDEN: “I hope Trump re-thinks the tariffs, I think it’s a counterproductive thing to do— we’re surrounded by 2 oceans and 2 allies: Mexico and Canada. The last thing we need to do is screw up those relationships.”
