holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!

On Jan. 11, Gregory Bovino watched as his Border Patrol agents dragged a man out of his car at a St. Paul Speedway, knelt on his back until he lost consciousness, and dragged his limp body into the back of a van. The man's name is Orbin Mauricio Henriquez Serrano and this is his story.

Blanche gave Cornyn/Tillis a fake deal, which is not a legally binding modification of the original agreement signed by all parties like they demanded, & kept IRS immunity, so they can surrender while declaring victory. Just more theater from worthless Republicans in the senate.

The NYT has a new very long article ostensibly about why Brad Karp of law firm Paul Weiss capitulated to Trump, but it never actually explains why. Karp (later ousted for his Epstein ties), wanted to give in so badly he lied to his own partners about it. But this para is all you get from the NYT. 1/

1/ 🧵 Hours after migrants started dying trying to swim into Spain, Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon was online mocking them. A Spanish minister reposted him & said “things are becoming clear.” Israel had to publicly disavow its own ambassador. What did he say? #DV1 #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

This got me choked up. Ohio, thank you for this. 🙏🏽 And God bless Viles Dorsainvil, Exec Director of the Haitian Support Center. Haitians aren’t criminals. They were here legally under TPS until Trump stripped those protections. Yet we’re humiliating them by forcing them to wear ankle monitors.

Great reporting from @emilybregel.bsky.social about a gay man who’s been in the US since he was four, imprisoned in a “hotel” in Equatorial Guinea since April. He says he’s being denied soap and toilet paper in retaliation for filing a complaint w African Commission. 1/ tucson.com/news/local/b...

"WE HAVE A GENERATION OF RABID INCOMPETENT IDIOTS . . . " "THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT BRING YOUNG STAFFERS TO WASHINGTON DC HAVE SPENT THE LAST DECADE PRIORITIZING BLIND IDEOLOGICAL LOYALTY INSTEAD OF COMPETENCE OR INTELLIGENCE . . . " "CREEPY CHURLISH CORRUPT . . . " "REALLY REALLY DUMB TOO . . . "

"Maria" is working in Coachella CA doing maintenance on the lemon trees. She wears thick gloves and sleeves to protect herself against the lemon thorns. She shares, "I will work any job to feed my children." Today Coachella temps are predicted to reach a high of 118°. #WeFeedYou

Oh great. An untreatable, possibly fatal virus passed by ticks is spreading in the USA. Good thing we have the CDC looking out for us, am I right?

#ResistanceRoots Major General Smedley Butler was born on this day in 1881 in West Chester, Pa. One of the most decorated figures in U.S. Marine Corps history, he transformed into an anti-war activist and whistleblower. He exposed a plot by wealthy men to overthrow FDR and install a dictator. /1

Ok so this lady says solar panels are getting built on "the most productive farmland" in her area. Which just ain't true at all. It ain't true here in NC either. Where I ALSO hear that talking point over & over again. Smells like astroturf! So let's get the dirt on solar farms & dirt ✨

Fauci accuses Rand Paul of having an "unhinged obsession with calling for my prosecution" and of making "repeated slanderous comments," then says "although it pains me to do so... under advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th Amendment to refrain from answering your questions."

O’Hanlon and Poznansky are right but not in the way they think: the depletion of munitions doesn’t matter for China because the entire strategy of denial is built on a false assumption. The actual numbers of munitions doesn’t matter at all.

1. This New York Post cover: “Thousands of 9/11 families demand Mamdani be banned from 25th-Anniversary” is a brazen lie. How do I know? I interviewed the organizer of the petition.

1/ Viktor Orban ruled Hungary 16 years. Then 2,500 volunteer groups popped up in 18 months and voted him out. No famous donor did that, regular people did. New research mapped exactly how, and Americans need to see this now. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

“Nixon Giovanni Pérez Paz and Glendy Marisol González de la Cruz were killed weeks after González de la Cruz self-deported to be with her husband, who was deported by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement last year. www.stlpr.org/law-order/20...

3/ Her point still stuns me. Great evil often isn’t dramatic. It creeps in when ordinary people stop thinking, stop questioning, and simply go along. Cliches, she warned, protect us from reality, from the claim that events make on our thinking attention.

This is an apt descriptions of Republicans now.
