FEEDBACK: A viewer wrote about our decision today to detail the violence against police by the Coloradans pardoned by Trump for J6. We did it because many Coloradans back the Blue. And it should be on the record for when those J6 attackers run for office in Colorado. #copolitics

Unfortunately, Trump has already pursued some of his anti-LGBTQ and anti-immigration campaign promises.

Check out my article on Trump’s first day in office and his executive orders straight from the Project 2025 playbook - consider subscribing to my newsletter too👇🏾
Trump Takes Office Among Oligarchs Then Signs Project 2025 Executive Orders
Trump delivered a dark inaugural speech in a rotunda filled with oligarchs, then signed executive orders straight from the Project 2025 playbook—including one that blatantly violates the Constitution.

There's little point in noting this since those who need to hear it have already willfully tuned it out, but the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago not because they were hostile to Trump but because Trump was hostile to federal authority! They gave him inordinate opportunities to hand the stuff over!

PSA:

If the suppression of another person’s human rights makes you feel even a picogram of additional happiness, you are, in fact, a barely-sentient and unpleasantly aromatic pile of excrement

I don’t make the rules.

I hate these “our military isn’t prepared!!!” stories so much.

Max Boot argues that we are unprepared to fight a protracted “major war of aggression” against Russia or China.

What? We’ve supplied Ukraine’s war against Russia for almost three years now. Without boots on the ground. 1/2

Trump has a skill for knowing how to inherit things, and then somehow eventually fuck it up, so let’s see if that longstanding seemingly inescapable pattern holds

NEW: How prepared is the American press to cover any Trump mass deportations and their humanitarian effects?

According to the reporters themselves, not very ready.

Trump’s former Secretary of Defense, James Mattis, said it best (in 2020): “Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people — does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us.”

@andrewrsorkin.bsky.social I find Joe to be as obnoxious as Joe Scarborough. Love your morning show but Joe belongs on Fox business or, actually, Morning Joe so he can talk over everyone, locate and lick the testicles of Trump 2.0. MSM is in decline and viewers are aging. Try a fresh conservative!

The GOP is mounting the largest, most brazen post-election disenfranchisement effort since Trump's frivolous litigation in 2020. This time, however, they may get away with it and the legacy media is largely asleep.

"The loathing is easily understandable. Politicians don’t like scrutiny. But one senses in addition to the hatred and the loathing, there’s an element of fear." Even more important, then.

As Donald Trump prepares to pardon people convicted for their role in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, it's worth looking at what leading Republicans said in the immediate aftermath of that day's violence.

Trump is staffing his cabinet with billionaires who will break the government. About class, about differences in wealth, we need clarity, and we need outrage. But we will not get far without equal clarity about race.
