You've made this day a special day, by just your being you. There's no person in the whole world like you; and I like you just the way you are.

Trump's entire administration is using unsecured private coms specifically to circumvent the very Presidential Records Act he was indicted for violating when he stole thousands of classified documents on his way out the door in 2021. It's impeachable conduct all by itself.
It seems clear to me that when government officials use Signal, WhatsApp, private servers etc to communicate about government business, they are doing so in order to avoid transparency laws. That should be a scandal even if a reporter isn’t accidentally added to the group chat.

it’s still hilarious that Michelle Obama spent like a week saying “hey maybe Americans should eat something green that doesn’t leave a transparent stain on a paper plate” and republicans lost their fucking minds

Lauren Boebert's office literally pays for POLITICO Pro, which tracks & analyzes legislation, and which she is now labeling a part of the "deep state." We are living in the absolute dumbest timeline.
LOL. @politico is trying to attack @elonmusk because he's exposing their grift. NEWS FLASH: No one trusts media funded by the deep state!!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Members of Congress and administration officials pay for Politico Pro, a service that provides policy updates. Lauren Boebert also pays for this service in her office. house.gov/sites/default/…

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

MAGA blamed President Biden for the Baltimore Bridge collapse even though a Cargo ship crashed into it, but they don’t want orange felon blamed for a mid-air collision even though he placed a hiring freeze on air traffic controllers and gutted an air safety advisory committee.🤔

In case you’re having a bad day at work, remember that at least you’re not Trump’s @PressSec who tweets were so bad today she earned the entire administration a federal restraining order. Keep talking and tweeting, girl! You’re doing great! 👍🏽
Replying to @kyledcheney
Judge MCCONNELL will *grant* the restraining order, saying the withdrawal of the "hugely ambiguous" OMB order is only a distinction without a difference "based on comments by the president’s press secretary.”

Because the media is already getting everything as wrong as they possibly can, let's go over what actually happened with Colombia yesterday. Under Biden/Harris, Colombia accepted more than 400 deportation flights, 120 just in 2024 alone. These were normal commercial planes. 1/

As Trump is re-inaugurated today, I’d like to use this opportunity to discuss one of his most devastating crimes.

If Trump issues an EO to basically overturn the TikTok ban law, what’s to stop him from doing the same with most any other law? Not a rhetorical question. No matter how one feels about TikTok, there seem to be some major constitutional issues at play here.

Nancy Mace asked Jasmine Crockett to “go outside”. Chair Comer ruled that threatening violence against another member is okay, as long as it’s in the form of a question! Wild

Trump is suing a pollster who put out a poll he didn't like. He's suing CBS for how it edited an interview with Kamala Harris. He sued Simon and Schuster because Bob Woodward published a book that included verbatim quotes from him. He has zero commitment to "free expression."
Replying to @brianstelter
"There is a real opportunity here, with President Trump coming into office, with his commitment to free expression, for us to get back to those values," Meta policy chief Joel Kaplan says on "Fox & Friends." Rolling this out on Fox is obviously a notable choice.

Let’s make one thing clear: Matt Gaetz didn’t have sex with a minor. Matt Gaetz raped a minor. Words matter.

The election lie is and always has been flexible: electoral outcome in 2016 was fair, popular vote was rigged; electoral and popular votes were rigged in 2020 but not congressional races; 2024 election - under many of the same laws and via the same voting methods - was just fine, except for the lost races of course.
Democrats are so devious they only selectively rigged several seats. Didn’t rig it to have themselves keep the Senate, didn’t rig it to win the presidential election and didn’t rig it to keep the House. Their depravity clearly knows no bounds.

1. Trump just announced he's nominating a banker and commodity trader who is married to the CEO of the global conglomerate that runs the world's biggest commodity and financial exchanges (including the New York Stock Exchange) to lead the USDA. Populism!

The Republicans were obsessed with Obama releasing his birth certificate, and VP Harris releasing her McDonald’s pay stubs. BUT THEY don’t want to release the report investigating THEIR Attorney General nominee for allegedly hooking up with a child? Interesting how that works!
