Just paid 2.99 a gallon for gas. How ‘bout that Trump economy? How’s that working out for you?

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

This is preying on my mind a bit. Jeffrey Epstein was not primarily a British scandal! So far we've removed a Prince from the Royal family, fired our US ambassador who was one of the most important political figures of the last few decades and banned the CEO of Barclays from the financial industry..

A massive search is underway for Savannah Guthrie's missing mother. If you have any information that could be helpful please call 1-800-CALL-FBI

For Liam.

just a reminder: if fire hydrants near where you live are buried in snow after this week’s storms, it’s a mitzvah (and a gooooood workout!) to dig out around that hydrant so fire crews can get to it faster if need be.

You don't have to know anything about what the Supreme Court says to understand that the federal government has no legal warrant extort through violence what it is not legally entitled to under constitution and law.

Hi all, I don't post here often. But this is from a woman that I consider a friend in Ukraine. She's a journalist who lives in Kyiv with her family & dog, Hans. I just want the world to see. Ive devoted the last 4 yrs to not letting the world forget her. I promised her that I will continue to do so

ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month. Statement from Standing Rock:

This time last year, there was no "trade diamond" bypassing the USA. Every edge led to/from USA. One intentionally avoided it. Now all our historic partners are avoiding us. And that is just one of many permanent diminishments of American influence and greatness the WH is responsible for.

Big if Hitler could have gone to Davos in 1938 energy

to all citizens of the EU and other free nations: sorry about Trump, he is the distilled version of everything bad about America, those of us with eyes to see are working to defeat him and to help you to fend him off. the moment calls for cross border solidarity against tyranny

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

Folks, I hear the concern about Greenland, but that would be an unprovoked attack and without Congressional authorization, orders to do so could be illegal. Lots of ifs and maybes here, but Trump would likely wake the slumbering beast on Capitol Hill if this was his goal.

@stephruhle.bsky.social reacts to efforts on the right to attack the character of ICE shooting victim Renee Good.

Tell me another one about how protests don’t matter… www.newhavenindependent.org/2026/01/07/a...

Holy crap.

A must-read message from Colin and Sophie Hortman, Mark and Melissa's children:

More reaction to Maduro’s “arrest”

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

“Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me”

I do love The Onion

Melissa Hortman Died in a Shocking Act of Political Violence. This Is the Story of Her Life The Minnesota Speaker’s closest friends and family open up for the first time. Read @stephenrodrick.bsky.social's exclusive: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.   ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

I'm sorry: I'm glad the Brown shooter has been found, but watching law enforcement officials take a victory lap and praise each other feels kinda gross? Given how the FBI messed up by leaking the name of an innocent person and that a random 48-year-old guy avoided capture for days, no time to brag

If anybody who criticized Charlie Kirk in the days after his death deserved to lose their job, why doesn’t Donald Trump deserve to lose his? washingtonmonthly.com/2025/12/15/t...

@stephruhle.bsky.social explains how the *Affordable* Care Act became Trump's biggest problem in fighting the Affordability Crisis.

The Trump admin submitted a sworn declaration under oath that Costa Rica had changed its mind and would no longer take Mr. Abrego. Costa Rica has now said publicly that that this is false, that they have not changed their position at all, and that they will still take him.

Trump is often cast as a “lame duck” president, but Lincoln Project co-founder @therickwilson.bsky.social thinks Trump won’t leave office until he “burns it all down.” His second term gives him a “greater sense of autonomy,” unrestrained by tradition or law. #Velshi

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made. Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.

@stephruhle.bsky.social explains that if the stock market crashes, Trump may try to bail out the tech companies to prop up the economy

Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”
