GOP House intel committee chair slams Trump DOJ for "grave constitutional violation" spying on lawmakers
The MAGA cult leader's first term was just the tip, folks. There will be a LOT more constitutional violation to performatively condemn the second time around. It's almost like they should've seen this coming and banished Trump from the party for the self-serving monster he truly is.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Brian Tyler Cohen & Glenn Kirschner spar over pardons
On the latest episode of The Legal Breakdown, Brian and legal expert Glenn Kirschner get into a heated debate over whether or not President Biden should start preemptively pardoning prominent Democrats to protect them from Trump and his vindictive cronies in Congress.

Trump plots disastrous Day 1 attack on Biden legacy
350.org: A new POLITICO report shows that Donald Trump is planning to revive the destructive Keystone XL pipeline project as soon as he gets back into office — even though no companies are trying to build it anymore! This kind of short-sighted nihilism is exactly what we can expect from a Trump administration intent on extracting every last drop of profit out of the land, no matter how many people get hurt or how much permanent damage is done — which is why we need to start fighting back ASAP! Will you add your name to let him Trump know we won’t stand for the revival of the Keystone XL pipeline or the rest of his destructive, regressive fossil fuel agenda?

Trump calls Trudeau "governor" of "the Great State of Canada" in overnight posts
Trudeau's trip to kiss the ring at Mar-a-Lago does not seem to have had the desired effect, because it's clear Trump saw it as a sign of weakness and is now openly mocking the Canadian prime minister on social media. It's a sharp reminder that nothing good ever happens from playing along with the MAGA cult leader and giving him what he wants — a lesson that other leaders would be wise to remember.

Trump to nominate Kimberly Guilfoyle for ambassador to Greece
One has to wonder if there isn't some kind of "Chandler Moves To Yemen" thing going on here, because Guilfoyle's ostensible fiance, Don Jr., has been spotted carvoting around with a new girlfriend...and now Kimberly is being sent overseas. This is absurd. JUST BREAK UP WITH HER! We're sure her resume of, uh, *checks notes,* being a Fox News teleprompt reader with sexual harrassment lawsuits will be a real asset to our diplomatic relations with Greece.

Israel invades Syria, unleashes hundreds of airstrikes
The IDF wasted no time following the fall of the Assad regime. While Syrians were still celebrating the ouster of their brutal former dictator, Israeli tanks crossed through the occupied Golan Heights and invaded deeper into Syrian territory, occupying a “buffer zone” created in 1974. By Tuesday, Israeli forces had penetrated farther into the country, occupying a swath of territory twice the size of the Gaza Strip and prompting outrage from Qatar, Saudi, Iran, and Iraq. The Qatari foreign ministry condemned the invasion, calling it “a dangerous development and a blatant attack on Syria’s sovereignty and unity as well as a flagrant violation of international law." The IDF followed this up with more than 350 airstrikes across Syria, targeting the regime's former military bases, radar stations, air defense installations, and reportedly destroying Syria's entire navy. “It's showing Syrian people straight away, ‘Our problem is with you. It's with your sovereignty, it's with your existence, it's with your security. What we're doing now is making sure that you are totally defenseless. We're exploiting this moment of chaos to completely disarm you and make sure that you're completely defenseless in the future so that we can do whatever we like,’” said Robin Yassin-Kassab, a British-Syrian analyst. The Biden administration has neither condemned the invasion nor called on Israel to halt its attacks, slamming the lid shut on the garbage can into which they've thrown any semblance of international, rules-based order.

New Florida prison policy on trans healthcare "like conversion therapy"
Horror stories are emerging about the appalling ways that the fascist theocracy of Florida is now treating its trans prisoners. On top of making it nearly impossible for them to get hormone therapy and other gender-affirming medical care — forcible detransitioning — inmates recounted how prison medical staff ranked the women’s breast size using a scale designed for adolescents. Those whose breasts were deemed big enough were allowed to keep their bras. Everyone else had to surrender theirs, along with anything else considered “female,” such as women’s underwear and toiletry items. Josie Takach, who is incarcerated in a men's prison, said, “It felt like I was being treated less than human." Needless, monstrous cruelty from Ron DeSantis and his cronies.

American abortion patients put in extreme danger by Trump and his cronies
National Network of Abortion Funds: Abortion rights are under attack by right-wing extremists across the country, and it's about to get a hundred times worse under President Trump and Republican control of the government. That's why Dose of Democracy is working overtime to help raise money for the National Network of Abortion Funds and make sure they have the resources they need to provide care to as many patients as possible before it's too late. Will you make a donation to help those on the front lines of the war for reproductive rights?

GOP panel chooses virulently racist Brian Mast to lead foreign affairs committee
Florida Rep. Brian Mast made headlines around the country last year for his openly genocidal rhetoric against Palestinians, comparing them to Nazis and justifying the mass slaughter of innocent children while — get this — wearing an Israeli military uniform in the halls of Congress. Mast has also violated the STOCK Act, received thousands of donor dollars from a Rudy Giuliani-linked Russian businessman, and used hacked Russian DNC data in his election campaign. So of course the GOP chose this asshole to lead Congress' dealing with foreign nations.

Senate GOP blocks bill to protect journalists after Trump opposes it
Sen. Tom Cotton has once again blocked a bill to give journalists greater protections under federal law. The PRESS Act would have prevented the government from forcing journalists to reveal their sources and limit the seizure of their data without their knowledge, but apparently Cotton's fetishistic love for the Constitution doesn't extend to its very first amendment. Much more important to be able to bully journalists into revealing which backstabbing GOP toady is the leaker when they inevitably reveal embarrassing info about the internal chaos of the Trump White House, eh?
