Elon Musk is donating $10 million to a Republican primary candidate in Kentucky. That’s more money than the vast majority of Americans will ever see — much less donate. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

It may not have the hot clang of the Book of Revelation, but when the Danes are selling your bonds it has not been a good day.

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies. At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

Donald Trump wants to end freedom of speech and make it illegal to criticize him or his regime.

This is the kind of thinking I’d like to see at the federal level instead of years and years of “we can’t do that, we tried, it won’t work” horse shit. Find a fucking way.

Kristi Noem has been widely criticized for slowing down FEMA’s response after natural disasters. Texts and emails obtained by ProPublica point to an effective way to get help faster: have one of Noem’s big donors make the ask. (Published Sept. 2025)

Not that this is a surprise to anyone, but the rule of law means nothing to Donald Trump

This is how you yank their chain

Just today: - Trump held a rambling, off the wall briefing that Fox would have called dementia if Biden did it - leaked messages from another world leader - Threatened to upend NATO over Greenland - invited Putin and Lukashenko to his “Board of Peace” Total embarrassment.

Hack prosecutor Lindsey Halligan is OUT, and the judge ripped her a new one as she was shown the door. Always take a moment to celebrate the wins. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/u...

The message of Trump’s letter to the prime minister of Norway signals that the president “genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues.

"agents told hospital staff that Castaneda Mondragon ... 'purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.'”

Fortunately, America is the land of opportunity, and there are millions of other jobs that Lindsey Halligan is unqualified by training, intellect, and character to do.

We're cooked. Thanks Dems

BREAKING: The Greg Bovino Bitch Fund Benefiting Immigrant Rights in Minnesota has just donated $10,000 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, an essential org working on the frontlines to protect people from ICE's terror.

Halligan's contemptuous response didn't do her any favors—the judge basically says he would have referred her to disciplinary action if he didn't think she was too dumb to know any better

A normal attorney who was the subject of this memorandum would walk into the ocean and never come back

Federal immigration agents forced open a door and detained a U.S. citizen in his Minnesota home at gunpoint without a warrant, then led him out onto the streets in his underwear in subfreezing conditions, according to his family and videos reviewed by The Associated Press.

In a bizarre court filing, DOJ conceded that in March 2025, two members of DOGE who were working at the Social Security Administration were in touch with an advocacy group that hoped to “find evidence of voter fraud and to overturn election results in certain States."

Nick Fuentes urging Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota: "Bro, do it. Do something. Just stop chickening out. I'm just tired of the idle threats... Please pull the trigger. Please kill them, Mr. President. Please just kill them." www.mediamatters.org/nick-fuentes...

Imagine what a tiny little man you would have to be to feel threatened by a dancing fox.

On behalf of historians, please don't wait.

For the first time in history, the archbishop responsible for U.S. service members said officers may be morally obligated to disobey a sitting president’s orders. Broglio said a Trump-ordered invasion of Greenland would violate Catholic teaching and that Catholic troops could refuse to comply.

Writing is thinking Outsourcing the entire task of writing to LLMs will deprive us of the essential creative task of interpreting our findings and generating a deeper theoretical understanding of the world.

Thank you Senator Murray. We have a raving lunatic running the country and it is incumbent on the Senate to do everything it can to keep him from blowing up our most important military and economic alliances over ego and spite.

"The same bungling that makes ICE officers look like clowns also makes them more likely to hurt people and spark chaos."

WATCH: Here's the CBS 60 Minutes report, "Inside CECOT," on the Trump admin's rendition of Venezuelans last year to an El Salvador maximum security prison, with no convictions and no plan ever to release them. It was a gross human rights violation against which humanity itself cries out for justice.

Thomas Paine would be proud!!!

Donald Trump will speak at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, tomorrow, "and he appears prepared to shatter the nearly 80-year-old NATO alliance in order to seize Greenland," @JonLemire.bsky.social writes.

My kid took an aptitude test at school and scored 100% on the "Intellectual Openness" category. Or, the category of tell me you're the child of a humanities professor without telling me you're the child of a humanities professor.

"Capitalist is terrified of the free market" is a top tier genre of headline

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

I have one request for everyone outside the United States. Stop being polite to us Americans. Tell us what you really think.

State supreme court races are some of the most important in the nation. In North Carolina and Ohio, it's the reason why state and congressional maps remain gerrymandered. Not running candidates in what could be a wave year is crazy-making.

Recently I've been spending some time with pro-democracy leaders from other countries organizing against national strongmen. Their stories of organizing against authoritarians are eerily familiar. Among the many clear takeaways: stand up to bullies and go on offense because defense doesn’t win.

As you pay more for groceries, housing, and health care, Trump has used the presidency to enrich himself. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
