REPORTER: The Capital Planning Commission is concerned the 89,000 square foot ballroom is going to dwarf the rest of the rest of the WH. Do you worry about that? TRUMP: No no. People love the ballroom. We need it. If we would've had the ballroom today, we could've had all the oil companies there.

I keep coming back to this

Hallo? Deutsche Regierung? Anybody listening? Oder ist das auch kompliziert? @bundestag.de

Republicans: It wasn't a "kidnapping," and we did it because of drugs and because freedom Trump: So I kidnapped him and took the oil

As someone who uses humor/satire a good bit, I can vouch for this. My satirical columns absolutely drive MAGA folks nuts. They get orders of magnitude more angry than with serious columns. No comparison.

Trump is planning even more insane renovations to the White House www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

Hey, a quick hint for anyone trying to follow the news in Minneapolis from out of state: if you add ?utm_source=gift to any Star Tribune URL, it'll let you read it. Also, some reliable local outlets that are both better and free: www.mprnews.org www.minnpost.com sahanjournal.com

Naked Emperor declares himself a God.

his name is Jonathan Ross and he shouldn't get a good night's sleep for the rest of his life www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

I sincerely hope so.

When you learn how many "they should have just followed orders" people are in this country, then you begin to understand how we arrived to the point of a federal fascist takeover.

Protests are spreading across the US since the shooting in MN yesterday. Will we see a massive wave of activism like we did after George Floyd was murdered in summer 2020? The next few days will determine what comes next. www.usatoday.com/picture-gall...

Identify him.

According to witnesses, this is the masked ICE agent who shot the driver in Minneapolis. He shot from the side into the vehicle. This is him walking away from the crashed vehicle.

"You gonna murder someone else? You can't kill us all, Nazis."

This is literally the opposite of insurance.

Did Pete Hegseth write this?

No worries about the nuclear football, just a pink top on two women on opposite sides of the world.

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

Yes!

Frey: "Beyond leaving the scene, they should also leave our city and our state ... crime is down. What this federal administration is doing right now is not about creating safety. Do not let them tell you that what they are do is about creating safety. It is not. It is having the opposite impact."

What would it take for just enough Republicans in the Senate to vote to convict Trump? Let's be constructive. Don't tell me he can do no wrong. Reasonably speculate.

.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for what happened on January 6th? Lieu: The White House’s statement is batshit crazy.

.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for the violence on January 6th? McGovern: That’s offensive. What kind of sick human being would say that? I was here that day.

No words, sorry.

Gallego: "The reason why you have Article 1 power is because you don't want to let idiots like President Donald Trump make foreign policy decisions without their being a check and balance against that"

100 years from now, people will look at clips like this and be like "Really, that was the guy?"

Crockett: "When you look at the press conference Trump held, he didn't talk about democracy. I know there are a lot of people talking about how this is good for the Venezuelan people because Maduro was ba. That's not why he did it. He has not cared about Venezuelans at all. Here's the receipts ... "

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

10/10. No notes.

Thank you Eugene Goodman for saving Democracy during the Capitol insurrection #January6th

Women are still seen as property in the USA

Drüben auf der Höllenseite postet die rechte Influencerin, die ein Kind mit Musk hat, um KI-generiertes CSAM von sich entfernen zu lassen. Es ist absurd, dass es medial keine Riesen-Story ist, dass Musks Produkt Unmengen an CSAM & KI-generierten Nacktfotos von Frauen gegen deren Willen verbreitet.

Das könnten wir hier auch gebrauchen, seit es nur noch alle drei Jahre bei der Vorsorge einen gibt.

It was only a matter of time before the 3rd Amendment discourse became activated.

More please.

A hacker known as Martha Root broke in and deleted three white supremacists websites at the end of a talk during the annual hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.

no public events on Trump's calendar today

MacCALLUM: You have about 100,000 dying from drug overdoses, most of those drugs from from Venezuela and other places CROW: That's actually not true. The majority of the deaths by drugs in America are the result of meth and fentanyl. Almost none of that comes from Venezuela

The previous modern standard for murdering people en masse while effecting an arrest warrant involved members of a Waco religious cult (76), or group home occupants (11) in West Philadelphia or the Chicago abode of some Blank Panthers (2 dead, more wounded). Trump now holds the record.

NEW: Sen. Mark Kelly RESPONDS to Pete Hegseth for censuring him, cutting his military pension, threatening to demote his rank, and warning of possible criminal prosecution for telling soldiers to obey their oath.

Wie kann unsere Regierung und andere öffentliche Institutionen das immer noch für offizielle Informationen an die Welt benutzen? Dann echt lieber die Bild.

Mette Frederiksen, the Danish prime minister, warned on Monday that any US attack on a Nato ally would be the end of “everything. If the United States decides to militarily attack another Nato country, then everything would stop – that includes Nato and therefore post-second world war security,“

Technically, the 9/11 attacks were also "well conceived and courageously executed." Does not mean we gotta hand it to them. If your premise is that the raid and government overthrow were illegal, then you should be advising service members to not follow such orders, as it is their duty not to.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Tell me we should trust AI to give us the facts. Tell me it's a future we can put our faith in. Come at me. I'm right here, waiting.

Excellent. The German media especially.

Given that Trump's critics call it a kidnapping, and Trump says it's an apt term, I see no reason for the media not to use it. Literally both sides agree it's the proper description of what happened.
