5 years since January 6 and Republican leadership still refuses to honor the law enforcement officers with a legally required plaque in the Capitol.

So the US taxpayer will spend billions of dollars to make the Venezuelan regime even more repressive so that it can protect American oil companies who won’t actually do anything except themselves receive billions more dollars of taxpayer subsidies. MAGA

Stephen Miller on CNN yesterday defending taking Greenland by force: “We live in a world, in the real world that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.” This is the fascist manifesto.

NEW: Five years ago, a violent mob attacked the U.S. Capitol in an effort to overturn a free and fair election. Instead of acknowledging the brutal history, the White House opted to rewrite it by launching a website that falsely portrays the effort as a miscarriage of justice. https://bit.ly/4sszukf

What is going to follow from me is a number of posts regarding someone I have admired and listened to for a long time. Some of you will know of her already. Every now and again, I urge others to pay attention to Fiona Hill.

And every so often, I look to see if she has a Bluesky account. Not yet.

I know it's said ad nauseum but pretend Biden said these words into a mic and how fast the headlines would start flying about dementia and 25th. Just wild that the media is letting this go and sucking him off for killing people in Venezuela and stealing their oil
Trump: "Transgender for everyone! Bring your kids in, we're gonna change the sex of your child. Just send them our way. In some cases, like in Minnesota, they don't even tell the parents. Nobody believes it when I say it. They operate on the kid, they don't tell the parents. It's not believable."

I believe the original sin Democrats, and especially the Biden administration, made after January 6th was viewing January 6th as the *end* of something, rather than the *beginning* of something.

Five Ways To Remember January 6th
Too many people saw January 6th as the final aggrieved death throes of Trumpism. We can now understand it was the start of something much darker.

We need to grapple with the reality that we're very close to living in a police state.

"Officers repeatedly pressed her on whether she was Venezuelan, what her connection to Venezuela was, and why she had attended the protest. Plichta claimed they tried to get her to identify other demonstrators."

A 3-year-old in Tucson was admitted to the ICU with flu. She developed a rare and dangerous condition called Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM).

Recovery is expected to take months. I don’t know if she was vaccinated, but the constant false messaging that this year’s vaccine doesn’t work…

Your occasional reminder that Trump is the most unpopular president in modern (post-WWII) times.

He's underwater in 40 states with the remaining ten representing only 59 of the total 538 electoral votes (!)

If only media would preface and frame their POTUS coverage with these telling data.

Today is the 5th anniversary of Trump's Jan 6 terrorist attack on our Capitol designed to keep him in power despite losing the 2020 election. Trump should've been arrested that day. And today he should be sitting in prison as a warning to all others that if you attempt a coup, you will die in jail.

Excellent piece by Greg Sargent on how Trump wants to organize the world based on legitimized plunder. The criminals are telling us they're criminals and daring us to stop them.
Trump just said "all" of Venezuela's oil must be made accessible to US oil companies. Trump wants to emulate Putin's model: Authoritarian, expansionist rulers carving up their regions and distributing the spoils of conquest to friendly oligarchs. 1/
