I love how maga are gloating that PM Trudeau has to fly to Mar a Lago in order to meet with Trump. You see in Canada, as well as many other countries, we don’t allow convicted felons and adjudicated rapists in our country. 🇨🇦Trudeau 2025🇨🇦

🚨NEW: GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski has announced she will not vote to confirm a single Trump Administration appointment until they are fully vetted by the FBI. RETWEET to thank Murkowski for standing up for our democracy!

😂😂😂👏👏👏

Sir Tom wrote a book which he said was to raise funds for the NHS. He died, his daughter made herself head of his charity, and gave the entire £1.47m raised to herself. We really should be talking about prison.

Is it wrong to suggest that Sarah McBride should follow Mike Johnson into the men's room and stand right behind him at the urinal at the next opportunity?

Trump DOD nominee says "No women in combat roles." OUTRAGEOUS! Women have successfully served in combat for 3+ decades. They have same qualifications as the men. I was GenCounsel of Army when jobs opened to women and WACs were integrated into the RA. I watched the early studies that show women often outperform the men. Hegseth said: “Women shouldn’t be in combat at all,” They’re life-givers, not life-takers. I know a lot of wonderful soldiers, female soldiers, who have served, who are great. But they shouldn’t be in my infantry battalion.” I say: He shouldn't be the head of their Pentagon -- and that doesn't even address his sexual assault charges that he paid to settle or his tattoos. thehill.com/policy/defense…

Jill Wine Banks, Watergate prosecutor & a host of Sisters in Law podcast, answering a listener, suggests that Joe Biden could step down before Inauguration Day so that we would have a woman president, even for a few weeks, who could then order the Archivist to publish the ERA. ❤️

Whatever your views on the Royal Family, we can surely all agree that they shouldn’t be profiting from our NHS.

So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere. And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time. When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime. What then? Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden? You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy. You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military. You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda. You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy. You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy. You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for. You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming. You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation. You just made women less safe and less free. You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now. You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket! You just ushered in Fascism. Because your cereal costs more. Congratulations.

America, I hardly knew you.

This is perhaps the hardest part about today: realizing that our fellow Americans saw all of that; watched all of that; listened to all of that, and still said, “Yes, that’s what we want.” That’s who we are. msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…

At the end of The Empire Strikes Back the rebels are desolate. Han Solo is frozen in carbonite. Luke Skywalker has been defeated in battle by Darth Vader, losing a hand in the process. The Emperor's victory was total.... until the Jedi returned. Not sure what made me think of that.

Might be time to ban bottom trawling. @WetTribe
