Grassley And Feinstein Request Briefing On Flynn Resignation

On Monday morning, Donald Trump tried to do what he has done many times before: rewrite history in an attempt to make himself look like a man of moderation. This time it concerned Trump’s treatment of the media, which has included a long history of threats and denigration. “In order to Make America Great Again, it is very important, if not vital, to have a free, fair and open media or press,” Trump told Fox News Digital.

On Monday, Donald Trump appeared to confirm that he is willing—even eager—to declare a national emergency and use the military to carry out his plans for mass deportations. “TRUE!!!” he wrote on social media, responding to a post suggesting that reports were circulating of the president-elect’s preparedness to go to such extreme lengths to implement his cruel immigration policies. Trump’s desire to deport millions of undocumented immigrants can be traced to his first presidency, during which migrant families were deliberately separated and sweeping workplace raids were conducted.

Donald Trump who continually claimed he had no contact whatsoever with Project 2025, immediately tapped Brendan Carr, wrote the chapter on the FCC for Project 2025, to head the FCC. Lying liars, all of them. Brendan Carr seems to believe "DEI" is worse then cancer. The FCC’s most recent budget request said that promoting DEI was the agency’s second highest strategic goal.

Senator-elect Adam Schiff made clear he wasn't going to allow Trump's threats to sic the military on members of Congress such as himself and Nancy Pelosi while discussing the Gaetz nomination this Sunday on CNN. Host Jake Tapper asked Schiff what he thought of Trump nominating Gaetz, and Speaker Johnson's mealymouthed response when asked about refusing to release the House ethics committee report on Gaetz.

Fox News hosts began rolling out their MAGA propaganda supporting RFK Junior's claim that he will make school lunches healthier, kids happier, and people skinnier. The anti-vax zealot who loves roadkill has become a health food savior. It's so ludicrous, but Fox News has been given their orders and they obey. Amen. How quickly they forget that 10 years ago when Michelle Obama instituted federal guidelines trying to improve the foods and health of our schoolkids, these same creeps railed, ripped, and attacked her as though she was forcing kids to drink battery acid. If the kids want to be obese, it's their right.

When a phenomenon like this happens, you take it seriously—even when it’s something seemingly silly and definitely ephemeral.
