They can’t figure out how to spend the extra $500 billion they gave themselves for the military, but cut our healthcare and food assistance because they said they couldn’t afford it.

Last week Donald Trump registered the trademark "Donald J. Trump International Airport." This week Florida Republicans voted to rename Palm Beach International Airport Donald J. Trump International Airport," putting taxpayers on the hook for licensing fees that go straight to him

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

Elimination of emissions standards was one of the pretty clear policy stakes of the 2024 election and it received about 1% as much coverage as whether Tim Walz retiring from the national guard after 21 years was cowardly.

Before the charity stream began, content creators from @minnmax.com and @giantbomb.bsky.social weren't sure what number to aim for — maybe $30,000 or $50,000. Within 15 minutes, they raised $58,000 for local food pantry VEAP. Within an hour, $100,000.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

This is the money quote. He admitted that he found it and gave it to the staffer.

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

So, incredibly, the White House has chosen to escalate in blue Minnesota and retreat in Maine to protect a vulnerable GOP Senator. It's confirmation that Trump-Vance-Miller view ICE as a partisan govt-backed militia to attack blue America while propping up their regime. 1/

I spent the weekend trying to process what's happening in my city of Minneapolis, Minnesota by creating this video. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

Please pay attention to what's happening in Minneapolis, Minnesota. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY Reposts are appreciated.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

The gun was removed by agents from his waistband - he was never pointing it at them. He was already disarmed when they fired "defensive shots," killing the man. They then fired several shots at his lifeless body.

Evil. Nightmare shit. And just to be absolutely clear: It's already evil, even when they aren't killing people and even when they get "proper training." When moments like this burst up, they're like bubbles indicating that the water is boiling. The whole institution is built to enact an evil agenda

He leans down to help the woman who was pushed up off the ground and out of the snow. She tries to reach up for a hand up, but because of the ice, is stumbling a little. As he tries again to lift her up, ICE throws him to the ground. FIve men pin him down. A sixth freaks out puls his gun and shoots.

He's directing traffic. He steps inbetween ICE and two women who are being harrassed by them (one of whom was shoved to the ground for no reason), raises his hands and turns away from them and says "Okay! Okay!" to indicate he isn't going to be aggressive, at which point they start with pepper spray

You: It can’t happen to me. The state: we looked into this white guy we killed and we do feel a need to bring up these parking tickets

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

The Republican position now appears to be that you have a constitutional right to openly carry a gun in public, unless you do so while expressing a view that the government dislikes, in which case the secret police can shoot you to death on the spot.

Anyone who is part of the federal government who is not doing everything in their power to stop this administration, regardless of the assumed cost to normalcy or career, is a coward and a collaborator.

Message to fellow journalists (and anyone claiming to be one): do not “police-involved shooting” executions in broad daylight. Obfuscating language like that is completely journalistically unnecessary and, even worse, sanitizes reality. Words have meaning. Use the right ones.

Christ the video of that killing is horrifying. But what happens in it is also far worse than calling it a shooting gets across. It is an execution. There’s a single unjustifiable shot and then a decision to just fire several more rounds into a prone victim.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

they’ll blame you for being in their way even when they’re the ones who invaded the neighborhood where your baby was sleeping inside your home

telling the secret police they have immunity to harm & kill citizens really lays bare the hollowness of decades of right-wing GOP screeching about encroaching Big Government - it was never a problem they had with government per se, just that it wasn't being used to harm the people they wanted to

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

ICE and CBP are currently brutally brutalizing and abducting peaceful protesters at an ICE Processing Center near Minneapolis and St. Paul on January 8, 2026.

We can't afford health care, pay our rent, feed our families, pay for college, or retire with dignity… But ICE has 100 billion dollars and is killing American Citizens in broad daylight

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day. Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me. 🧵

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

the president is doing a press conference FROM HIS FLORIDA COUNTRY CLUB about launching an illegal war

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

My favorite kind of basketball to watch is a lot of standing around on offense, missing shots in the paint, and giving up wide open threes.

The closest comparison for the Grok thing we can imagine right now is if cereal made a bunch of people ill and the news put a microphone in front of some cereal boxes at the grocery store and was like “well they didn’t admit guilt, not sure who else we can ask”

Final broadcast of ABC News Tonight for 2025. I hope every rep and senator saw it. Millions are being forced to cancel health insurance because it’s unaffordable. That pressure doesn’t stop with them; it spreads. When people drop coverage, everyone’s rates go up. Call your Rep and Senators.

It's still early, but the officials have really let the Kings and Mavs just play and it's been fun to watch.

On my disappearance www.kenklippenstein.com/p/why-i-disa...

Every time I turn back to the Kings game the pistons are scoring a transition layup and Doug Christie is calling timeout.

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

Even when it feels like the Kings are playing ok, the 3pt shot differential means they're probably down by 10+.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Would love to hear Doug Christie's thinking behind taking Max Raynaud out to close the game.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

I know people hate how reviews slow down NBA games but they really do need the NFL style replay assist for fouls/shots at the end of games.

Less than a year ago Mike Brown and De'Aaron Fox were still in Sacramento. Now they're facing off in the NBA Cup final and the Kings are... the Kings.
