"Their idea of improving this state is being a parrot for Trump. I'm not going anywhere. You can make your requests for me to resign. Over my dead body. I will fight this thing to the very end to make this state better. And the Q I think they need to decide is when will the guy in the WH resign?"
Walz: "Republicans want to tear this state down. Republicans want to tell you it's too dangerous to talk down the streets. Republicans want to tell you there's nothing good that comes out of Minneapolis/St Paul. Republicans want to tell you everybody with brown skin is stealing money ... "

Mike Johnson’s razor-thin House majority took three hits today — Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation, the unexpected passing of Doug LaMalfa, and the hospitalization of Jim Baird following a serious car accident.

With Tom Massie fighting hard with leadership, the Republican margin shrinks to ONE.

Putin must be so pleased.

His investment in TACO has paid off in spades.

Impossible to imagine someone more apt and able to destroy America from within.

Today’s regular issue of “One First” looks closely at Chief Justice Roberts’s 2025 year-end report on the federal judiciary, and asks, given all of the (unaddressed) events of the past 12 months, exactly *who* the audience is supposed to be.

(TL;DR: I’m not sure, and I’m not sure he knows, either.)
201. Who is the Chief Justice's Audience?
Reading between the lines, there's a lot to commend in Chief Justice Roberts's year-end report. Measured against the year that was, though, its subtleties are for an increasingly shrinking audience.

GS: “Sen. Warner said you can’t argue drug trafficking charges demand invasion in one case while issuing a pardon in another…”🤔

@marcorubio: “Maduro was indicted.”

GS: “Hernandez was CONVICTED.”

RUBIO: “I wasn't involved in the pardon… I've got other things going on.” 🤷🏽‍♂️

If we're going to stop "funding corruption," let's start with the destruction of the East Wing & building a gold clad ballroom. I'm okay with feeding & educating kids. (Also, a lot of that debt comes from the GOP's "big beautiful bill.")

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine.

No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment.

Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Trump and the AI oligarchs will fight any AI restrictions, whether it's fake porn or fake political messages and stories, unless and until we flood the zone with terrible stuff about them personally. We need lots of damning fake Trump videos, and unflattering porn featuring Altman, Elon & friends.

One perspective is often missing from research about why children spend so much time on screens: the kids’. Lenore Skenazy, Zach Rausch, and Jonathan Haidt reported in August:

For most of our history, if you called the president a felon and a sex predator, you’d be making wild, unfair accusations. Now, you’re just repeating facts that were confirmed in court.

Zelenskyy calls Russia’s claim of a strike on one of Putin’s residences a “complete fabrication,” a lie designed to sabotage diplomacy, justify more attacks on Kyiv, and excuse Moscow’s refusal to end the war. He warns the world must not stay silent as Russia tries to derail peace.
