And, now, we KNOW that it needs to be investigated ASAP.

Bang your drum. Sing your song. Dance. Raise a hand. Applaud a stranger. Encourage a friend.   Joy is a choice. A gift. A declaration to the world: No matter what I still have power. You will not steal my joy.

No Kings.

Some early scenes from the #NoKings protest today in Orlando. ✊🇺🇸

The hypocrisy is off the charts.

Pete Hegseth said he'd bring meritocracy back to the military, moves like this show that was clearly a lie.

In three months, Zohran Mamdani has: -Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by fast food and delivery companies -Cracked down on bad landlords -Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program -Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets This is what leadership looks like.

Rand Paul: "The fact he can't bring himself to say that we shouldn't settle political questions with violence, I think that would be a terrible example for ICE and Border Patrol"

What happened to "America First"?

The Pentagon is moving an Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) to the Middle East. This consists of an amphibious task force naval element and a landing force (Marine Expeditionary Unit / MEU) and about 5,000 marines.

As soon the DeSantis signs this bill into law, Florida will be sued. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Hopelessness has never made the world safer, or more just, or more beautiful, and it is of no use right now. In days like these, nothing helpful can come from resignation. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-hell-wi...

Americans are dying in the war in Iran, and Trump can’t even put together a coherent answer as to why we are in this conflict.

Brazilian president says he has ‘forbidden’ Trump adviser from visiting country

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.

First message from Iran's new supreme leader to be released soon reut.rs/4bg55Oo

When you're breaking a veteran's arm, you're losing, and you're on the wrong f*ckin' side.

Who knows better about Christianity than MAGA? 🙄

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Another tragic, and completely foreseeable, cost of this war.

NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.

Two days ago, Sen. Kennedy and I pressed Kristi Noem under oath whether the President approved her $220 million PR contract with the spouse of her former flack. She told our committee that Trump signed off. Today, Trump fired her.

Nah. The real debate in America is between people who know Trump is evil and say so, and the people (like Laura!) who know Trump is corrupt and evil and lie about it for personal profit.

Spain's government denies cooperation with U.S. operations in the Middle East, contradicting White House. apnews.com/article/iran...

No amount of bombs will keep the Epstein files from being released.

Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

Bondi’s letter represents a major assault on Minnesota’s sovereignty, demanding that it forfeit its ability to make and enforce its own laws and maintain its voter rolls without oversight from the executive branch, which does not have authority over elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say ‘The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the f*ck they want and make sh*t up as they go along.’” — George Conway

This Nazi has to go.

A little extra love to Minnesota nurses today.

What would Jesus actually do right now? Jesus would stand in the street between ICE and those it seeks to terrorize. Jesus would defy the politicians openly preying upon God’s people. Jesus would cut off people who collaborate with this unrepentant evil... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/jesus-turn...

Right wingers are straight up lying about how Minnesota elections work now in order to argue that the Dems are corrupt. We have open primaries. There's no such thing as a Dem primary because it doesn't exist.

A year ago all we heard about was the price of eggs. It’s still an issue: “The 0.7 percent jump in food prices from a month earlier was the largest one-month increase in grocery prices since October 2022. Compared with a year earlier food prices were up 3.1 percent.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/b...

Choosing the Insurrection Act over accountability is a grave escalation and yet another example of why he is unfit to lead.

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks. IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

“Far from making us more powerful, the pursuit of American dominance will make us weaker, eventually leaving us with no sphere, and no influence, at all,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues:

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
