Schiff: If the president goes forward with pardoning vast numbers of people involved in January 6 violence, he will begin his new administration the way he ended his last administration, and that is by celebrating violence against our democracy.

The Epoch Times has published thousands of articles about Shen Yun, part of a deliberate strategy to promote the dance group — a huge moneymaker for the Falun Gong religious movement — while relentlessly attacking its critics, a New York Times investigation found.
Shen Yun Needed Publicity. The Epoch Times Wrote 17,000 Articles.
A publisher that rose to prominence promoting right-wing conspiracy theories has also served as sword and shield for the dance group and the religious movement behind it.

Whoa—the Montana Supreme Court holds that its state constitution protects the right to "a stable climate system," and strikes down a law that barred consideration of greenhouse gas emissions when permitting new fossil fuel projects. juddocumentservice.mt.gov/getDocByCTra...

How many independent media and podcast interviews did the leaders of the Democratic Party do today, since they are now starting to talk a big game about “building up progressive alternative media?” Don’t just talk about it, lead by example, and don’t just keep doing cable news.

GP2 is shooting 14.8% on 3-point shots this season.
Career 32.8% shooter from distance and was 36.4% last season. Just lost all confidence in it, but he's so wide open 2-3 times a game he almost has to take it or else the offense is screwed up.
Also incredibly valuable on defense. Conundrum.

Good morning, just making sure you know the CEO of Meta, which owns Threads, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and more, just donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund. This after he went to Mar-a-Lago to kiss the ring.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster.

If you’d told me on Jan 6th 2021 that the man responsible for that horrific attack would end up returning to the office he tried to steal that day, and that he’d do so after calling the attackers “heroes” & “hostages” he was going to pardon, I’d have thought you were out of your damn mind.
