The Davos Dumba$$ It’s Tuesday. There are 287 days until the midterm elections. A leaker in the White House, the Catholic Church takes on Orange Satan and so much for being respected again.

Trump has spent a year trying to pressure Ukraine into surrender, growing angrier each time it failed. Emboldened by these developments, Russia has spent the past year bombing Ukrainian civilians: children on playgrounds, churchgoers on Easter, families asleep in their beds at night.

I know it’s hard to believe, but we used to have a Congress.

All it would take is for a bunch of these CEOs to confront Trump in front of the world and tell him he's unfit to run a hot-dog stand, and his presidency would be over. Seriously. But none of them has the balls to do it.

That's a lot of words to obscure the facts: Dhillon and DOJ are 0-2. Elias Law Group is 2-0.

How big is Greenland? Its so big it covers up 99% of the Epstein files.

Jessica: The WSJ is reporting that there are incentives for ICE Agents because they need to meet that insane 3,000 people per day quota—they are getting rewarded even if they bring in people who then get released…

Blanche won’t investigate the killing of an innocent woman on camera but they’ve got all hands on deck for a church service being interrupted

Ellison: This is the essence of dictatorship. It’s the essence of it. And we’ve got to get over the idea that this couldn’t happen here. Not only could it happen here—it’s happening here.

Lately there has been a lot of people on BlueSky demanding that Americans to go turn violent on ICE agents. I’m sure that some of them are genuinely just frightened and misguided. But some of them are actively trying to insight violence because that is what is called for in project 2025.

Make Russia Great Again!!!

"In the immediate aftermath of the death of Renée Good in Minneapolis... an FBI agent in Minnesota conducted an initial review of the shooting and determined that sufficient grounds existed to open a probe into the actions of the officer who shot Good..." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

"Trump’s aides know if the changes they propose were actually turned into law, it'd be a political disaster. Which is how we get what we got: A plan that's not a plan, released so they can say they have a plan but not actually do anything. And that’s just fine with Trump." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

The office is closed for Martin Luther King Day and Benji was so grateful to sleep in. He certainly needed to catch up on his rest.

The president always, uniformly, does what’s best for Russia.

We must not forget Congress didn’t ban him from ever running again after January 6th.They were cowards and compromised by their dark oligarchy donors! We must not allow them to continue their reign over us!

Rep. Andy Ogles on Fox Business: "They're libtards in a blue city ... if the libtards are gonna side with lawlessness, that's on them"

I've heard others say it and I'm really feeling it too. We should definitely embrace the American flag as part of the resistance to fascism and the authoritarian government. It must stand as a symbol of decency and democracy, not what the GOP is trying to rebrand it as.

I call for social media use to be forbidden for all presidents.

SCOOP: The Trump DOJ is preparing to eliminate the ability of U.S. Attorneys to recuse themselves from cases due to conflicts of interest. A new rule expected to be filed this week will put that power in the hands of Pam Bondi.

We’re at the stage of fascism where people are being dragged out of their homes. Children and babies are hit with chemical weapons. Peaceful protesters shot in the face and blinded. A woman shot & killed on camera and it won’t even be investigated. They condone this.

COW TOOLS COW TOOLS COW TOOLS

Sunset in Kharkiv today is bloody. Russian glide bombs struck private homes in the city, killing a woman in her yard. Ten people were injured, and houses were destroyed in the dead of winter.

“One little girl didn't mind the fading sun. Her mittened hands sculpted a snowman, happy to work without distractions. She whispered apologies as she thrust a carrot into his face, assuring him it was for the best and he'd be able to breathe much better now, just try and see.” ― A. Panayotopulos

I just can’t lol 😂 This little girl is so freaking CUTE Whenever I’m playing games and get frustrated, saying “damn it” or “gosh dang it,” “sonofabitch,” etc. My puppy dog will come over with a stuffed animal to try and make me feel better

Today we celebrate the wisdom of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, including and especially his lesser known work. Watch and share.

When your life is just *so hard*

In my latest for Democracy Docket, I ask why the DOJ failed to meet its deadline for releasing the Epstein Files and why even the rolling productions have now stopped. Also, does any of this have to do with a recent motion filed by Ghislaine Maxwell? Become a premium member now. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

On MLK Day, we’ll hear a lot of quotes from people actively dismantling his legacy, including the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. Dr. King’s work was never finished. It was interrupted.

BREAKING: Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will attend the Supreme Court's hearing on Trump's attempted firing of Fed governor Lisa Cook, an unusual show of support by the central bank chair.

‘Purrsonal’ favorite 🐾💕🤭

Senior White House official says local and state police in Minneapolis “have been ordered to stand down and surrender.” What?

This year I’m turning 60. I’ve made the decision that in the next two or so years – work commitments dependent – I’ll be getting gender-affirming surgery. Nothing’s a done deal but things will be changing and I guess I just wanted to say I’m really excited about it and really grateful.

Nothing says “peace” like inviting a fellow war criminal who’s actively invading a sovereign nation to help solve another war.

"Your snack? I think you mean "OUR" snack. Right?"

ICYMI — In negative degrees weather they took a LEGAL naturalized citizen out in his underwear, after trashing his house. They released him an hour later. The cruelty is the point. (From @thejfreakinc.bsky.social )

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket. He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War. Notice the suppressors 1/2

NEWS: Trump has invited Russian President Vladimir Putin and Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko to join his so-called “Board of Peace” to oversee Gaza.

Four attorneys told ABC News they have been denied access to their clients at the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, where they are being held, which they say would violate 5th & 6th Amendment rights to due process & the right to consult with counsel. abcnews.go.com/US/lawyers-a...

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." -MLK As always, Dr. King's message is right on time. Today calls on all of us to hear his wisdom and put it into action.
