If Joe Biden misspelled the name of a country in a press release announcing sanctions against said country, Lou Dobbs would rise from the dead to join Sean Hannity’s around the clock special coverage

If your spouse needs a safe word with her friends to protect herself from you, you should be in therapy.
Or in prison.
Not the Secretary of Defense.

Hard to think of a clearer forecast of the rule of law under a new regime when the outgoing President feels a need to pardon the innocent and the brave.
BREAKING: President Biden just pardoned:
* General Mark Milley
* Dr. Anthony Fauci
* Jan. 6 Committee members of Congress and staffers
* The police officers who testified before the Jan. 6 Committee
Biden says these pardons are not an acknowledgment of wrongdoing.

Surveillance pricing is trending. In Austin, if your rent hasn't gone down in our overbuilt rental market check to see if your landlord has been named in a DOJ lawsuit. The names of the culprits have been published locally and some have already settled in early 2025. Others deny culpability.

When a hurricane struck North Carolina, Republicans lied about FEMA.
When a terrorist attacked New Orleans, Republicans lied about immigration.
When wildfires hit Los Angeles, Republicans lied about fire dept. funding and DEI.
Exploiting tragedy is part of the GOP playbook. Helping victims is not.

Justice Samuel Alito spoke with Donald Trump on Tuesday, not long before Trump’s lawyers asked the Supreme Court to delay his sentencing for 34 felonies in New York.
On top of Alito's existing ethics issues, this raises serious concerns.

Alito Spoke With Trump Shortly Before Supreme Court Filing
The justice said that the call was a job reference for one of his former clerks and that the request to stay the president-elect’s sentencing did not come up.

Astounding that the media is covering the effort to install Lara Trump as a US senator credulously, as if it’s not one of the most corrupt power moves we’ve seen in decades in US politics. Imagine how they would covered Clinton pressing the AR Gov to appoint Chelsea a Senator!?

“Trump lied about an election being stolen and then sicked a mob on the Capitol. It's funny that you roll your eyes at this, Kevin, because you're the one who went down and resurrected him...We elected the most dangerous....human being that America has ever elected. And Kevin, you helped him."

Putting up fake candidates is a tactic recommended by Russian political theorists to trick people into voting away their democracy.
Rep. Susan Valdés, everyone.
This shouldn't be allowed. Nobody voted for her to switch parties. What kind of nonsense...

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of “protecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

@saadyousuf126.bsky.social are you officially removed from Stars coverage at @theathletic.bsky.social or will you be back after football season? Every write-up by the staff notes the wrong player or doesn't know which goalie started. If they don't let you come back, I'm canceling my subscription!
