On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

Just as he did with tariffs, Trump is abusing “national security” justifications to raise prices for the American people — in this case electricity prices.

Burgum: "Today we're sending notifications to the 5 large offshore wind projects that are under construction that their leases will be suspended due to national security concerns ... the Dept of War has come back conclusively that these large offshore wind programs create radar interference"

Somali Minnesotans can speak to this xenophobia so clearly because they feel the consequences of his hateful words.

Read what Faisa has to say:
Profoundly ignorant and profoundly ironic - because the Somali community I know is everything that conservatives and Republicans claim to want in America. We are people of deep and unwavering faith. We pray five times a day, no matter where we are, no matter who's looking. We are generous people who give freely and without hesitation to our neighbors, regardless of where they're from or who they vote for. We are so damn funny. We love so deeply. We proudly live our values. We do not cower. We are as American as apple pie and as Minnesotan as ranch dressing, and we have invested in our communities, our state and our nation.

The White House knows it tried to steal an election and stage a coup in Jan. 2021 with their help. Now it wants to bury the evidence beneath pardons. State AGs, you know what you need to do.
A tweet from Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) reads: “BREAKING: President Trump has pardoned Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, Christina Bobb, Boris Epshteyn and dozens of false GOP electors and other key figures involved in his effort to overturn the 2020 election results, per pardon attorney Ed Martin.”

Yeah, that's EXACTLY what he campaigned on, right?

Long way off from "a chicken in every pot". How the mighty have fallen...

Trump on China: "They made a trillion dollars with Biden selling us stuff. Much of it we don't need. Somebody said, 'oh, the shelves are gonna be open.' Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."

You could say they're about national security, but then why would you tariff everything? It could be about manufacturing, but why then tariff vanilla from Madagascar? It could be about reciprocity, but why aren't they tailored to the specific tariffs that other countries have?

As it turns out, the reason we got a ton of new podcast listeners last week is because when I post a link here, you can actually see it. YEARS of posting on Twitter did NOTHING. Anyhow, check out the pod! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Elon admits that any post on X with a link is throttled

He advises you to upload content directly to X instead, where he can monetize it

Musk is the richest person in the world and his view is everyone should work for him for free

With everything now going on, I’m trying to figure out things I can do as a fulltime independent journalist who’s also an attorney, NYT-bestselling Trump biographer and author of a forthcoming biography of Elon Musk. I realize a 20% discount off my work-product is only a small thing, but here it is:
Post-Election Emergency Discount: 20% Off An Annual Subscription to PROOF
PROOF is committed to tracking this crisis. Its author is a NYT-bestselling Trump and Musk biographer, lawyer, and journalist who has also been a journalism professor and D.C. criminal investigator.
