Hunter Biden: “In the mainstream press they’ll sit down and do an interview with a 34-count convicted felon who was adjudicated to have raped a woman and has dozens of legitimate allegations of sexual assault against him and is in the Epstein Files more than any other human being on the face of the Earth, but it’s not okay for me to sit down and talk with Tucker Carlson? They’re out of their minds”
Except for losing control of the Strait, losing our bases in the region, strengthening the control of the Iranian regime over its suffering people, starving our sailors, running through our stockpiles of precision weapons, and giving Iran control of the global oil market. Big win.
It’s hard to imagine many people having a bigger impact than Dolly Parton. Born in a one-room cabin, she earned 11 Grammys and an Emmy, built a business empire, helped millions of kids learn to read, and — as if that wasn’t enough — helped accelerate the research that led to the Moderna COVID vaccine. What a life. Michelle and I are thinking of Dolly’s family and her many, many fans.
Aspiring WH press sec Scott Jennings on January 6th, 2021: “Well, I’ve been wrestling with this question all day. I mean, he’s clearly violated his oath of office to preserve protect and defend the constitution, to the best of my ability. And no one could with a straight face argue that he has preserving, protecting or defending it. And in fact, it’s the opposite of defending it. It’s under attack.
So, he is certainly not doing any of that to the best of his ability. So, if you want to strictly look at his oath. He’s violated it. You can make an argument he violated it his weekend when called the Georgia Secretary of State as well, which seems like a lifetime ago.
I don’t know the answer, I know that there are things being discussed. I don’t know what the right thing to do is tonight. He doesn’t seem like to me, based on the tweets that were remove that he learned any lesson after this got out of hand today. This is what you get when you steal an election? He didn’t learned anything when this happened today.
And so, if that’s going to be his attitude for the next two weeks I’m very fearful of what other insurrection type activities. And that’s exactly what it was, it was an insurrection. And it should be labeled as such, I can’t believe more people haven’t been arrested for storming the Capitol of the United States.
And I can’t frankly believe there are still Republicans tonight, siding with the people who storm the Capitol by voting for these objections. Siding with the people who are wearing animal pelts and horns, and scaling down the walls of the U.S. Senate? It’s absurd, and it’s a stain on this president, on our party, on our country and I cannot believe what I saw in my television today. And I had to explain to my children at home.” https://t.co/C8HM60jDQz
Two Republican mayors from the reddest parts of Georgia are breaking ranks to back Sen. Jon Ossoff’s reelection bid, telling the @ajc that the Democrat’s work for their communities outweighs partisan differences. #gapol

NEW: Former Tarrant County Judge Glen Whitley, a lifelong Republican, and Arlington Mayor Jim Ross, an Independent, have endorsed @JamesTalarico.
They join former U.S. Senator Jeff Flake and Paxton’s defense attorney Dan Cogdell in setting partisan politics aside and uniting behind James Talarico.
Trump is manipulating casualty records to try and hide the true cost of his illegal war from the American people.
I refuse to let him.
My Honoring the Sacrifices of Troops in War Act would ban the Pentagon from doing this, restore our heroes' records and protect their benefits.
It seems like every time another Republican House member gets hit with domestic abuse, child abuse, or sexual harassment allegations Mike Johnson starts yelling that Democrats are communists.
When Mussolini, a former socialist, first became PM in early 1920s he placated nervous elites with privatizations of some major sectors. By end of 1930s the corrupt Italian Fascist regime had more state involvement in the economy than any European country outside of the Soviet Union.
Last night, I was endorsed by a Democrat, a Republican, and an Independent in Arlington, TX.
We really are building a new kind of politics — and now there’s a word for it:
TRIPARTISAN
Communism and Fascism are both about control, so there is much overlap in their policies and adherents. Trump imitates Mussolini, who approved company intervention "when the political interests of the State are involved". For Trump, he & his personal interests are the state.
Insane ICE Cost to deport migrants in Texas Cities.
Dallas: $2.8B
Tarrant: $1.6B
Travis: $2.4B
Harris: $4.1B
Bexar: $1.1B
We could have given every teacher in Texas a $5K raise just from the money wasted in Dallas. We could have fed poor folks for a year in our state just from the money wasted in Harris.

It is outrageous that the United States is practicing straight-up imperialism. It is even more outrageous that our president is bragging about it.
The fact that this wasn't page one news today underscores how numb we've become to Trump.
