In Barry Blitt’s latest Kvetchbook, Donald Trump continues to argue with the Danish.

The First Amendment is a foundational promise to every American: Each of us has the freedom to speak, to report, and to hold those in power accountable without fear of retribution or retaliation.

Republican Senator Thom Tillis says Stephen Miller is like Grima Wormtongue from Lord of the Rings and Kristi Noem is like Delores Umbridge from Harry Potter.

Apps that let people wager on current events have experienced explosive growth in Trump's second term. But one of the leading markets is tied up in lawsuits that cloud the industry's future. n.pr/4kinEFJ

People with ACA health insurance just saw prices surge and many switched to plans with high deductibles and health savings accounts. If that's you, what do you wish you knew about how your plan works? n.pr/3ZCyOeW

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

There have been so many shameful words and deeds offered in the last weeks by this president and this administration that you lose sight of the sedimentary layers of disgrace and instability. Small horrors are obliterated by fresh hell. Anyone vaguely recall Trump's utterances about the Reiners?

Grace. Dignity. Heroes.

I was speaking to a high school poker class today. All sophomores. I said that we haven't had great online poker options in the US since 2011. Then I realized that was about when they were born, and let's just say it's a good thing I was already sitting down.

Big (but not Beautiful) changes to tax write-offs for American poker players and gamblers this year. Russ Fox joins us to discuss on Episode 492 of the Thinking Poker Podcast: www.thinkingpoker.net/2026/01/epis... (s/o @queenfive.bsky.social for suggesting and arranging this interview)

Go Seahawks!

In Minneapolis and many other communities across the country, we're seeing people come together to peacefully protest and support their neighbors. If you're looking to get involved, here are some ways to help:

"We'll take our stand for this land & the stranger in our midst..." Powerful. Brutal. Inspirational. A loving tribute to Renée Good, Alex Pretti & the good people of Minneapolis. Plus, it name-checks all the villains: the Puppy Killer🐶, Pee-Wee German🇩🇪, the Orange Atrocity🍊💩 & above all: ICE🧊🚫 1/

Sitting President attempts to steal $10 BILLION from taxpayers. The most corrupt regime of our lifetimes. With no close second. And the Hunter hunters are silent. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

They grabbed his father at McDonald’s — he tried to bring his dad his heart medication and they laughed at him A heartless, lawless regime

"In theater" is a military term that refers to a wartime theater of operations. ICE and CBP agents are in Minnesota, which is one of the United States. The enemy in this military operation are citizens of Minnesotans and the United States.

Rep. Joyce Beatty filed a federal lawsuit challenging the Kennedy Center vote: “Because Congress named the center by statute, changing the Kennedy Center's name requires an act of Congress — This is a flagrant violation of the rule of law, and it flies in the face of our constitutional order"

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

Minneapolis residents have joined a church-run effort to donate groceries to immigrant families who fear being caught in public by federal agents. What started with a couple of hundred deliveries a week has quickly swelled into a vast operation involving thousands of volunteers. trib.al/1qT1xMw

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Won't someone PLEASE, for the sake of all that's rational, give him some sort of prize to limit the worldwide damage he's been doing on a daily basis? #ThankYouForYourAttentionToHisDementia 🙏

Martin Luther King Jr. understood better than almost anyone that racial justice and economic justice are inextricably intertwined. Watch his powerful call to end poverty from his final Sunday Sermon.

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...

Dear trump, You're a desperate loser. You took a guy's Purple Heart. You lied about Michigan's "Man of the Year" award. You took Machado's Nobel Peace Prize. It's a participation trophy. On Obama's worst day, and your best, he will ALWAYS be better. The world laughs at you. Pathetic.

As we discussed on @viewerpod.bsky.social, the fact all of this was included is proof that Rapaport was not only despised by the cast, but also the producers lol
