Our country is indebted to Judge Wilkinson for the clarity of his decision. May his words prevail.

The history of the Holocaust shows us what can happen when people choose not to see and not to act. Each of us must answer that call: Denounce lies. Resist hate. Ensure our common humanity overcomes division.

HELL YEAH! Congressman Jim McGovern just TORE Speaker Mike Johnson a new one on the House floor for saying it wasn’t “his place” to question Trump’s January 6 pardon. “Not your place?? WHO THE HELL’S PLACE IS IT?” He said. Then he dropped 🔥: “How about you stand with the officers who protected you, rather than stand with a reality show wannabe dictator.” Thank you Jim McGovern for calling these HYPOCRITES out! 💙

Climate change? Pensacola, Florida just shattered a 100+ year old record with 7.6 inches of snow. Nobody there has snow plows or shovels, or even know how to drive in ❄️

JUST IN: The Fraternal Order of Police, the largest police union in the U.S. that endorsed Trump in the last election, has issued a statement condemning his pardon of the violent January 6 rioters. “Crimes against law enforcement are not just attacks on individuals or public safety —they are attacks on society and undermine the rule of law. Allowing those convicted of these crimes to be released early diminishes accountability and devalues the sacrifices made by courageous law enforcement officers and their families. When perpetrators of crimes, especially serious crimes, are not held fully accountable, it sends a dangerous message that the consequences for attacking law enforcement are not severe, potentially emboldening others to commit similar acts of violence.”

"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.” This quote is from Hannah Arendt's 1971 essay "Lying in Politics." Somehow we need a pushback with truth that's equal to or larger than the lies.

The peer-reviewed science shows that the primary factor behind the increase in wildfire extent in the western U.S. is increased aridity and fuel load due to human-caused warming. Via @AAAS @RealSciLine: sciline.org/climate/climate-…

The Special Counsel’s 1/6 Report, made public last night, confirms the unavoidable facts of 1/6 yet again. DOJ’s exhaustive and independent investigation reached the same essential conclusions as the Select Committee. All this DOJ evidence must be preserved. But most important now, as the Senate considers confirming Trump’s Justice Department nominees: if those nominees cooperated with Trump’s deceit to overturn the 2020 election, they cannot now be entrusted with the responsibility to preserve the rule of law and protect our Republic. As our framers knew, our institutions only hold when those in office are not compromised by personal loyalty to a tyrant. So this question is now paramount for Republicans: Will you faithfully perform the duties the framers assigned to you and do what the Constitution requires? Or do you lack the courage?

The Anxious Generation is #1 on the NYT bestseller list, for the 8th time in its 41 weeks on the list. If enough parents, teachers, & legislators read it and take collective action, we can roll back the phone-based childhood and restore a play-based childhood

Trump’s *never* lied about crowd sizes, so I’m thoroughly shocked that he’s claiming a “sweeping” mandate after a “landslide” election.

💵 Baselined: The Biden Economy We are taking a snapshot of Joe Biden's economy before he leaves office so we have a point of comparison when Donald Trump begins to take credit for it, like he did the economy he inherited form Barack Obama.
