Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017 and now wants $10 billion because a leaker pointed that out www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Thank the Big Beautiful Bill. New federal work requirements for SNAP begin this week, stripping long-standing exemptions for veterans, foster youth, and some parents. An even greater hunger crisis looms.

I've spent the past month in awe of Minneapolis residents' courage, so I interviewed a few of them about how we might recreate that here in Philadelphia.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

“I hope they all go to hell and burn.”

Personally I think this is too much money for Donald trumps untrained heavily armed militia

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

“If Minnesota falls, everything falls. We’re done as a nation.” Fury. Grief. Anguish. Locals on the frontlines of Trump’s attack on Minneapolis are speaking out following the killing of another one of their neighbors. We’re on the ground with @samveep.bsky.social tracking the aftermath.

Please share. We need mail and email to @fetterman.senate.gov asking him to retract this ridiculous statement and stand tall against this lawlessness in the funding vote. For the sake of Renee Good and Alex Pretti do not write off his vote!

"Liam, age 5, was the fourth child in the district to be detained by immigration agents in the past two weeks, school officials said. "Two of them are high-schoolers. "One is a 10-year-old girl who was apprehended on her way to school..." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

Minneapolis activists disrupted a church service where David Easterwood serves as a pastor, according to lawyer and activist @nekimal - Easterwood is also the acting field office director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in St. Paul, Minnesota. I'm LIVE from Minneapolis right now 🤝🏾

Rand Paul: "To say it's not a war in Venezuela -- we still have hundreds of ships with a 100% blockade of the coast. That is an act of war. It's an ongoing war. To continue to take their oil -- ongoing war."

Koh: Trump has now spent $30 billion from the last bill for 10,000 more I.C.E. Agents that are going to be on the streets. That $30 billion would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all co-pays for prescription drugs for people from a year, and eliminate all medical debt.

If you need any more proof of who this Admin serves, look no further. The EPA will no longer consider harm to HUMAN LIFE when setting air pollution limits. What will they consider? The bottom lines of the CEOs of the biggest polluters. A headline from The Onion come to life.

She said she was headed to a doctor's appointment. Federal agents still attacked her. Earlier today in Minneapolis, journalist Amanda Moore (@noturtlesoup17.bsky.social) documented a tense, chaotic federal operation near 34th Street and Park Avenue.

White supremacist talking points. No dog whistles.

A decade ago, when Trump one the first time, I and other Black writers tried to make us see that racism — both explicit and deeply seeded — was at the root of Trump’s rise. We were dismissed even as late as last year as people attributed economic anxieties to Trump’s wins. DO YOU BELIEVE US NOW?

And of course Trump being Trump, his racist rental policies were executed with all the subtlety of a brick to the head:

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

The jobs report is in. What a disaster.

A week before Renee Good was killed, an off-duty ICE agent fatally shot Keith Porter in L.A. DHS called Porter an "active shooter," yet no one else was hurt. Porter's family says he was no threat. What really happened? Latest w/ @liborjany & @cbuch03 www.latimes.com/california/s...

keep thinking of a vocally anti-woke reporter who insisted that the term "environmental racism" was nonsense

“Trump brought out the worst in America on Jan. 6,” writes The Inquirer Editorial Board. “Five years later, the damage continues to grow.”

It’s been five years since a mob of thousands of Donald Trump supporters assaulted the US Capitol to try to halt the peaceful transfer of power from an outgoing president to an incoming president. The basic facts are well established. Yet Trump and his cult refuse to accept it.

As a response to the illegal strikes in Venezuela, Congress must force votes and debate every day this month on War Power Resolutions to prevent Trump from invading: Cuba Colombia Greenland Nigeria Panama Iran It is time for Congress to wake up & do our job.

I am surprised that Tr@#p allows Stephen Miller to be in his orbit considering how important physical attractiveness is to him.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

A functioning Congress will have articles of impeachment drafted by the end of the day. Our Congress will just go to social media to basically say “We don’t like this, but what are you gonna do?”

Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files. Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out. See for yourself.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

Dark times, and you gotta take your chuckles where you can, but I’m still spontaneously cracking up every time I think of “Congratulations, President Kennedy!”

Excuse my language but this looks like absolute dog shit.

Breaking: The U.S. labor market lost 41,000 jobs over October and November, and the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.6% — the highest since 2021.

Pauline Copes Johnson, a descendant of Harriet Tubman, has died at 98. She spent a lifetime guarding that legacy from the small city where Tubman spent her final years www.kolumnmagazine.com/2025/12/11/t...

Convicted Felon Donald Trump's Truth Social post about Rob and Michele Reiner is disgusting filth. It reflects the depravity of this soulless ghoul and how he is incapable of decency and good judgment.

one thing that doesn’t get enough coverage or comment with regards to this administration is it how much it hates the actually existing united states

I’ve been through a lot worse than anything Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth can throw at me. And I'm not backing down, because this isn't about me — it's about you and every American's First Amendment right.

China was the largest export market for American farmers in 2024. They bought 27 metric tons of soybeans last year. They stopped buying in 2025 when Trump started his trade war. These are simple, obvious, basic facts. bsky.app/profile/atru...

BREAKING on MS NOW:   Brian Cole Jr., the suspect accused of being the Jan. 6 pipe bomber, confessed to agents that he planted the bombs and has indicated he supported President Trump, according to two people familiar with his interview.

Rep. Jim Himes tells MS NOW the two survivors of that controversial boat strike did not have a radio, contradicting GOP claims: "There was no radio. There were two individuals clinging to flotsam, that's what there was. There wasn't weaponry of any kind. There wasn't a radio."

Today's inflation data shows that Trump's cost-of-living crisis continues to hurt Americans. I'm demanding that his OMB Director, Russell Vought, come to the Budget Committee and explain why they keep making life harder for working-class families. What is he so afraid of?

"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."

@inquirer.com @septaphilly.bsky.social @governor.pa.gov If septa (regional rail specifically) is more than for 45 minutes late Septa should credit back your fare. All of these power outages are unbearable. One cannot rely on this system. ☹️😡🤬
