Play this for anyone you know or encounter who tries to use cold weather as evidence that global warming isn’t real, then share it to them:

Once again, Will Bunch is why I am now a Phildadelphia Inquirer subscriber.

In our nation, one political party has designed and released an updated version of the German Gestapo on the American public. They’re killing U.S. citizens, ignoring laws we took for granted, violating the Constitution, and doing it all with arrogant impunity. Vote the GOP out.

"Last year, 32 people died in ICE custody, exceeding any yearly total since 2004—including the pandemic years. ProPublica found that at least 170 American citizens have been caught in ICE dragnets and spent time in detention."

Oh, look. The white president who thinks that asylum seekers come from insane asylums, that the Norwegian government gives out the Nobel Peace Prize, that stealth bombers are invisible to the naked eye, and that windmills cause cancer is talking about which black people have a "low IQ" again.

This is an excellent explainer. 👀 quote: “In rough terms, the workforce of CBP officers and Border Patrol agents commit crimes at an equal or even greater rate PER CAPITA than the population of undocumented immigrants do in the United States.”

There is no strategy www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The Trump admin, which says it was investigating fraud in Democratic-led states, quietly shelved a massive welfare fraud investigation in Mississippi involving public funds funneled to Brett Favre and others

The criminal enterprise operating from its White House headquarters continues. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/16/u...

Important read!

Danish and Greenland ministers just left the White House. It did not go well. I have a long discussion here of Trump's attempt to get Greenland and why it could lead to World War III. (Gifted.) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Those who still treat this as a joke or believe in TACO need to wake up and recognize the reality of the country they're living in now.

Well, thank goodness there are no indicators of dementia here— none at all.

they've got Raffi calling for regime change. something has shifted.

⬇️ They are absolutely being trained to do this, and then to claim that they are being threatened and therefore justified in using deadly force. This is almost certainly coming down from Stephen Miller

Trump’s ICE detentions were never about making us safer — just whiter!

THIS! Get a BEV. Not only the lowest emissions, that get even lower as renewables continue increasing their share of the grid, but a lower total cost of ownership compared to equivalent gas and hybrid models over the life of your car.

“By proceeding without any semblance of international legitimacy, valid legal authority or domestic endorsement, Mr. Trump risks providing justification for authoritarians in China, Russia and elsewhere who want to dominate their own neighbors,” wrote the New York Times editorial board.

This is batshit crazy. Trump is imitating Putin yet again by forcefully and unilaterally invading a foreign country in order to outright steal their natural resources. And doing it not only in violation of international law but also of the United States Constitution.

In 2026, Northwestern Athletics has two stadium openings, a Final Four hosting opportunity and a major coaching hire ahead. Here’s five New Year's resolutions that Inside NU has for the Wildcats:

More brain dead Trump policy to prop up fossil fuels, rewarding donors at taxpayer expense to the detriment of our planet.

These Venezuelan boat strikes are either murder or war crimes. Wake up America!!!

Shameful pandering to fossil fuel industry at the expense of our descendants.

It appears the whole Putin “Ukraine tried to kill me with 91 drones last night” was entirely made up. And of course Trump repeated it and said he was mad at Ukraine. Nightly Russia launched drones and missiles at innocent people. And tried to Kill Zelensky every day Spare me the gaslight

All of MAGA world still believes that it was Nancy Pelosi who failed to send the National Guard that day, and no amount of facts, proof, or evidence will convince them otherwise.

In my experience, the best way to help a country succeed is to not invade it.

Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.

Don’t listen to fools or you might become one.

This is what the Trump Administration’s ceding green U.S. technology leadership looks like:

Back in 2011, George W. Bush warned about isolationism, protectionism, and nativism. MAGA today is exactly what he was warning about.

Yes, support for conservative ideology has always been about racism, as Thaddeus Stevens and Abraham Lincoln agreed about the founding of the GOP

“Miller’s grander aims are best understood as an effort to destroy the entire architecture of immigration and humanitarian resettlement put in place in the post–World War II era.”

“China's current rate of Wind-Water-Solar (WWS) installations puts it on track to transition to 100% WWS across all energy sectors, thus eliminate air pollutants & GHGs from energy, by 2051. The U.S. & India won't get there until past 2130.”

Clinton: Don't trust me, release the files. Trump: Don't release the files, trust me.

NEWS: Bill Clinton is demanding full transparency from the Trump DOJ on the Epstein files. Clinton’s spokesman says the DOJ’s selective release suggests someone is being protected. He calls on Trump to direct Bondi to immediately release all remaining materials referencing Clinton.

Bill Clinton just called on Trump to release the full Epstein Files, including all documents mentioning both Trump and Clinton. “Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the DOJ’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation.”

Republicans undermine vaccines, giving kids measles. Why? To reinforce their base's anti-science paranoia. Republicans cut wind power amid rising demand. Why? Because their donors get rich – and they do, too – from nuclear energy and fossil fuels. There's always a reason. But not a good reason.

Trump: “One year ago our country was dead. We were absolutely dead. Our country was ready to fail. Totally fail. Now we’re the hottest country anywhere in the world. And that’s said by every single leader I’ve spoken to over the last five months.” True? No, completely false (except for Russia)

Trump always finds new ways to prove that he’s low-life scum.

New Quinnipiac poll: 57% favor path to legalization for undocs vs 35% who back deporting them Trump underwater on immigration (44-54) and on deportations (42-55) Meanwhile DHS's Twitter feed is a white nationalist sewer pit and Gregory Bovino is swaggering around like an occupying general

Canada is replacing U.S. as a trusted ally to Europe. Good for Canada, bad for the U.S. Not at all surprising, given Trump’s belligerence, chaotic trade & foreign policy, abandonment of human rights advocacy, declining commitments to International law, and increasing alignment with Russia.

Abominable,

A+ trolling from Zelenskyy

The Trump Administration’s obsession with science denial is as dangerous as it is ridiculous.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”. If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic. Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Canadians boycotting the United States are actually moving the needle. Las Vegas alone has taken a four-billion-dollar hit because Canadians chose not to go. The American alcohol industry is down another nine hundred million. That is real impact. #cdnpoli

The most dishonest White House in U.S. history (by far) wants us to trust them when they say every person in every boat they blew up was a drug runner. There is no logical reason to believe they're telling the truth. The whole operation isn't even about drugs. It's about stealing Venezuela's oil.
