NEW: A stunning new project from @lawfare's Katherine Pompilio finds that 97 Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the Capitol riot then got arrested, charged, and/or convicted with subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported.
Sen. @JeffMerkley to Rubio: You have expressed that no one died as a result of the shutdown of USAID. I want to note that it's estimated that over 500,000 children have died from that shutdown. I hope you ponder that as we strive to rebuild programs related to malaria, tuberculosis, AIDS, HIV, nutrition, and Ebola.
#BREAKING: Laurie Garrett: “Can I add one very important set of data points? In 2024, our USAID commitment to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) was more than a BILLION dollars. Last year, brace yourself, $67 million. Nearly every single hospital, clinic, pharmacy in all of DRC was wholly or partially dependent on USAID & HHS support to maintain supplies and to deliver what people needed, and that’s GONE. Pharmacies are empty, stores are empty, the clinics are gone…so even if you didn’t have #Ebola, according to humanitarian organizations…300,000 MORE people have DIED in the DRC since USAID was cut, 300,000.”😢
Everyone COPY this video, share it far and wide. Paramount Skydance billionaire baby David Ellison can’t handle that Stephen Colbert is getting millions of views . @Youtube we will cancel our subscription as we did when we dumped @paramountplus.
So yesterday Donald Trump posted a video of him crashing Stephen Colbert's final show, and literally throwing him in the garbage, and of course, I had to FIX it.
Donald Trump posted 55 times on social media between 10:00 pm and 1 am. His posting spree included calls to arrest Obama, Clinton, Comey etc. He also attacked his own DOJ for not charging them with treason.
This man is not well. 25th Amendment now.
Hegseth: "You go from 'defense' to 'war' because you want to be proactive about peace through strength. The one institution that should win the Nobel Peace Prize every single year is the United States military."
The scale of the abuse is staggering. US Senator Chris Murphy reveals that in five months, federal courts found ICE unlawfully detained over 4,400 Americans. The government is actively funding mass illegal detentions while completely ignoring the judicial system.
Seth Meyers reminds us how batshit crazy the last 3 weeks have been: Trump fired AG Pam Bondi. He posted a meme of himself as Jesus then said he thought it was a meme of himself as a doctor. He said the Pope is weak on crime. A MAGA podcaster said Trump is under demonic influence. Pete Hegseth read a fake bible verse from Pulp Fiction. Kash Patel thought he was fired because he got locked out of his computer. A FEMA official claims he once teleported to a Waffle House. Lindsey Graham was seen at Disney World by himself. RFK Jr. cut off a dead raccoon’s penis on the side of the road. Kristi Noem’s husband has giant fake balloon boobs.
brilliant -- Morning Joe put together clips of Pete Hegseth reciting a fake Bible quote from Pulp Fiction, along with the Samuel L. Jackson scene from the movie
Trump: I'm polling higher than anybody has ever polled in Venezuela. So after I'm finished with this, I can go to Venezuela. I will quickly learn Spanish. It won't take too long. I'm good at language, and I will go to Venezuela. I'm going to run for president.
Iran just dropped the M.O.A.T. (Mother of All Trolls) video on Pete Hegseth… holy mother of fuck, this is top-tier propaganda.😳But the concepts/track? Absolute fucking banger. 🔥🤣
