Kristen Welker was disgraceful this morning, and we cannot afford for her to continue this way. She and any like her have to either speak the truth or step down. crooksandliars.com/2024/01/kri

@ClintBarton @TonyStark 😎🤔 Individuals like Trump, who don't care to faithfully abide by the laws (=> 91 charges), will even less bother to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed", as Article Two of the Constitution spells out one of the president's duties.

How is the first quarter over already?! ⚜️⚜️

It’s mind blowing that the networks give so much weight to a third rate legislator like Stefanik. She hasn’t accomplished anything except groveling in front of Donald Trump. Her integrity isn’t in question. It doesn’t exist.

The Republican plan is to only certify elections where their candidate wins. It won’t stay limited to President.

Elise Stefanik pre-emptively declines to commit to accepting 2024 election results-

Trump reportedly plans to invoke the Insurrection Act, which allows the president to use the military as a domestic police force, on his first day in office.Trump reportedly considered activating the Insurrection Act twice during his presidency—first to quell Black Lives Matter protests and later to hold on to power after his election defeat.

This isn't hyperbole ... these are Trump's own promises on the campaign trail.

I could watch Taysom carry defenders on his back all day though, lol

Jamie Raskin is the best. Simply the best.

Via Acyn:

#Raskin: They’re spreading disinformation about how it was really antifa and FBI agents which would make it strange to argue that all of these people should be released and trump is going to pardon them. Why would he want to pardon all of these antifa fighters? #Jan6 #Trump

“The presumption is you don't belong in this arena,” says Columbia’s Jelani Cobb of Claudine Gay’s forced resignation. “It’s bad faith that’s motivating it from the beginning,” says Princeton’s Eddie Glaude. #Velshi

First Wayne LaPierre, now this guy:

"A former top executive at the National Rifle Association, Joshua Powell, has admitted wrongdoing and agreed to pay $100,000 on the eve of a civil corruption trial of the organization's top executives set to begin on Monday."

January 6th was this generation's attack on democracy the way December 7th was an attack on democracy for my father's generation. Time to fight fascism again.

Today in Not A Drag Queen:

Kenneth Lynn Lamons, pastor of an independent baptist church in Tennessee, has been arrested for disgusting child rape crimes.

• rape of a child
• aggravated sexual battery
• continuous sexual abuse of a child

@AlliFlowers A block we can certainly get over, better than being banned or faded out by an admin, who believes defamatory claims of conspiracy theorists or agents of foreign adversaries pretending to be ordinary users like you & me.
Besides, some folks evidently never grew up or are just not old enough to have learned, that social media implicitly demand social behavior.

For future reference, I was just blocked because I disliked a child’s generalization of the term boomer. If you’re making a statement and wouldn’t substitute Black, Gay, Jewish, or Asian, then it’s wrong. Period.

Former Prez #DonaldTrump did not sign #Illinois’ loyalty oath when filing nomination papers for 2024. The oath, not mandatory, pledges he won't advocate for overthrow of gov.
That omission, days before the 3rd anniversary of #J6 #insurrection for which he's been criminally charged, is a departure from his candidacies of 2016 & 2020, which he signed both times

That's because he's planning 2 overthrow the gov.

The #Coup attempt continues...
