[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Sitting members of Congress telling journalists to “shut up” for asking about a coup attempt against American democracy.

"DeSantis initially criticized the American Rescue Plan as “Washington at its worst,” arguing that much of the money “had nothing to do with covid” and that politicians were using the bill “as a Christmas tree” on which to hang pet projects."

@AerLingus @louisaslett Same issue with terrible customer service - zero response in multiple tries on Twitter; tried calling - on hold forever. Finally got an answer, and then was disconnected after more than a half hour. How do any of your customers resolve issues?? Back on hold.

[Iowa Starting Line @IAStartingLine]

In their opinion, three Iowa Supreme Court Justices said it "would be untenable" for the court to grant trash more constitutional protections than a woman when it comes to her own body.

“I wanted to address my senators, Cruz and Cornyn.. I would like for them to know that what happened to me is a direct result of the policies they support. I nearly died on their watch and I may have been robbed of the opportunity to have children in the future”

Fantastic news - huge congrats to @ProfLorente, Merrill students current and future, and the entire #UMD community! He's simply the best.

The longer @RonDeSantisFL prolongs his petty squabble with @WaltDisneyWorld — one of the largest single drivers of Florida’s economy — the smaller and weaker it makes him look.

DeSantis’s increasingly pathetic and desperate pissing match with Disney (which he continues to lose) is only solidifying the public perception that he’s self-centered, small-minded, short-sighted and vindictive. Not a good look for Ronnie.

NEW: Billionaire Harlan Crow bought property from Clarence Thomas in undisclosed real estate deal.

Crow netted two vacant lots and the house where Thomas’ elderly mother was living. It’s unclear if he paid fair market value.

[ProPublica @propublica]

For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas has secretly accepted luxury trips from a major Republican donor, newly obtained documents and interviews show.

The extent and frequency of these apparent gifts to Thomas has no known precedent in modern SCOTUS history... 🧵👇

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

This is the fraud @AndyOgles that represents the district where 3 Elementary school children and 3 staffers were just slaughtered by a shooter wielding the same weapons as his…Christmas photo.

[Perla Trevizo @Perla_Trevizo]

NEW: #Texas Gov. Abbott said "most gun crimes are committed by criminals who possess guns illegally."
We found that guns were legally obtained in 13 out of 19 mass shootings, including 2 in which the shooter took advantage of a background check loophole.

Nikki Haley is beginning her presidential campaign launch with an invocation from John Hagee, a pastor who blamed Catholics for the Holocaust, called Hitler a "half breed Jew," predicted the Anti-Christ will be gay, and predicted the end times were beginning in 2014.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

If it felt uncomfortable to watch on TV as a bunch of Members of Congress act like blind drunk hecklers at a basement comedy show, it felt 10x creepier in the chamber.

What a disgrace. What a terrible example for our kids.

CNN Supreme Court exclusive: the justices did not disclose financial ties to security expert who vouched for their leak investigation:

Sen. Karen Berg, D-Louisville, released the following statement in the wake of her son Henry's death.

"The vitriol against trans people is not happening in a vacuum. It is not just a way of scoring political points by exacerbating the culture wars." ^AH

[Jason Selvig @jasonselvig]

Almost murdering a 10-year-old girl to own the libs.

[Dash Dobrofsky @DashDobrofsky]

Jim Jordan, who spent the last 2 years complaining about gas prices, whining about inflation, and viciously accusing a 10 year old Ohio rape victim of lying about being raped, just dedicated his first post-election speech to propagating Russian disinformation about Hunter Biden.

[Jon Ralston @RalstonReports]

So I see Sen. Graham is being totally irresponsible and misinformed and outrageous.

He is much better at slobbering at Trump's feet than being a U.S. senator.

As Dean Wormer might have said to him: Irresponsible, misinformed and outrageous is no way to go through life.

[Liz Halloran @EAHalloran]

My new favorite tweet of this election cycle.😄

[Jon Ralston @RalstonReports]

One of the wonderful things about Twitter this time of year is my discovery of how many Nevada voting experts there are on here and how good they are at Nevadasplaining to me.

Thank you. Thank you very much.
