📽️ WATCH: This video on the rise of Russ Vought, Trump's “shadow president,” is based on scores of interviews, thousands of pages of emails and dozens of hours of videos and recordings of private briefings given by Vought, most of which have not been previously reported.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com: As long as Trump is alive he should face questions about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell youtu.be/tCfM9BDsKWk?...

This perfectly sums up our frustration & anger with MAGA.💙

Mayor Bass: This morning, it was frightening in Los Angeles to see tanks essentially rolling into MacArthur Park.

It was an egregious show of force. I have no idea what their purpose was. I don’t even think they detained anyone.

Anyone who claims to know what's coming next is lying. But @attackerman.bsky.social understands the history and context like few others.

This piece finally comes near capturing the insanity of what is going on www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

The logic of the coup that is going on now. And how to resist it.

Listening to the president's interview on Lawrence I'm struck by his intelligence, thoughtfulness, knowledge, and empathy, and I see zero signs of dementia, which is something I'm quite familiar with. Quite the contrast to the incoherent, shallow and mendacious ramblings of TFG, whose mind is mush.

This sounds potentially very bad. www.mercurynews.com/2025/01/16/m...

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.

I discuss with @marcelias.bsky.social:

How will you cope with your right-wing relatives over the holidays? Here's my advice.

Beware, this "BBC Breaking News" account is fake. It's not an official BBC News account.

If BBC News ever joins this platform, it'll be publicised via official BBC platforms.

“They ran the career people out,” a former Bureau of Land Management employee said. “This business about politicizing the civil service, that’s a problem. It’s something that should concern all Americans.”

Torres: There’s a Turkish proverb that says, “If a clown goes into a palace, the clown does not become a king; the palace becomes a circus.” We’re witnessing the transformation of the American presidency into a circus, with Tulsi Gabbard as the potential DNI and Matt Gaetz as the potential AG.
