NN: There's a report your husband bought stock in Musk's xAI days before news surfaced the Pentagon is expanding xAI's role in military systems. Can you assure us this wasn't based on inside info? McCLAIN: If it was, we wouldn't have bought 100,000 shares. We would've bought a heck of a lot more

New: We built an interactive map of every ICE contractor working with the Trump administration. readsludge.com/2026/01/16/t...

I think it still hasn’t really sunk in for a lot of us that Minnesotans have moved from mass protest to mass resistance.

waking up to the Belgian PM quoting Gramsci at Davos re: Trump www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

New Jersey Governor Murphy, with two days to go in his term, said today he is undecided on whether he will sign or kill the package of three immigrant protection bills that are on his desk.

the crazy thing about being alive is you can just. try to draw anything at any time. you don't even have to know how. you can just. try

It's a problem that actual elected officials post on social media as if they are powerless observers and commentators.

i think it is simply true that for all intents and purposes stephen miller is the president of the united states

Kinda funny that Trump thinks "asylum" means other countries send people from insane asylums, and a) this is real life, not a ham-handed Idiocracy-type satire, b) he has surely been corrected several times but is incapable of updating his priors, & c) most media politely agree not to mention it.

Every single Republican in Congress swore to defend the Constitution. I guess they were all crossing their fingers behind their backs.

Me: OK, I need to indent this single line. Word: how about the whole document? Me: no! Word: WHOLE DOCUMENT DONE 🙂 Me: Arghhh. Word: yaaaaay indent! Me: UNDO, UNDO Word: *indents everything you've ever written in both the past and future* Word: I'm a word processor!

#Trumpregime NO ONE in the world is saying 'The US is respected once again' but Trump and his delusional lackeys.

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority” He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

it is -10 here today. I was supposed to go do a volunteer shift standing outside loading groceries into people’s cars to deliver to families stuck at home. just got a call not to come in because they have too many volunteers already. if you were wondering if the cold would stop us.

'“As regards the Nobel Peace Prize, I have on several occasions clearly explained to Trump what is well known, namely that it is an independent Nobel Committee, and not the Norwegian government, that awards the prize,” [Norwegian Prime Minister] Mr. Store said.'

Called the radiotherapy reception to check what the wait time was as I work across the street. They said they won’t tell me as they still want me here on time for my appointment. So here I am, sat in the waiting room, and it’s at least another hour of waiting. This is bullshit.

this is an excellent example actually because just like Greenland, Hawaii should also rule itself

They are. I produced a documentary on Ted’s and Beto’s 2018 race . I entered the project knowing very little about Cruz but assuming people just liked to hate him. He couldn’t be that bad. I spent 100s of hours watching film, some shot for his PR and not released. I interacted with his staff.

i wish i could still buy things at the prices i used to complain about

Catastrophe: Florida's Department of Health is stopping coverage for antivirals to 10,000 low-income people with HIV infection, blaming impending federal cuts to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. 12.5% of Americans with HIV live in Florida.

Good morning. What a deeply embarrassing day to be a US citizen, on so many levels.

We’re so used to politicians not being accountable, we’ve forgotten what accountability looks like. People send me all these statements Graham Platner has made about his tattoo and I always have to write back, “That’s not accountability! It’s another pile of excuses!”

Google Pay makes it entirely too easy to order eg fancy cocktail glasses from your phone

"Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize… I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace," Trump wrote in a message to the Norwegian Prime Minister. n.pr/3Zlfzq4

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

“If they can do it to him, they can do it to you” is important to keep in mind esp when the government does it to the most ruthless unsympathetic figures but the trump-vance admin keeps insisting on doing it to like autistic civilians and grannies

It was inevitable.

And I fucking hate the caveats especially "NO CRIMINAL RECORD." People who have criminal records ALSO deserve dignity. OK.

This website has a lot of links to places that could use donations right now. www.standwithminnesota.com

Congress, this is on you.

In a country with an actual free press, the photo of that poor old man would be the cover of every single paper with a headline that reads ENOUGH.

ICE apparently isn't a big priority for the imaginary family on Long Island

Y'all got any more of that coffee cake or

I’ll never get tired of this ad at our local indie theater 😂

Yeah, body cameras aren't going to inhibit the goons. Jonathan Ross was literally filming with one hand as he executed an innocent civilian with the other. All body cams will do is free their other hand up for, what, a second gun?

Can’t wait to read whitewashed quotes of MLK Jr. Day quotes from local politician committed to anything but racial and economic justice, tomorrow.

Squeezing Palestianians out of the West Bank and systematically erasing thousands of years of culture and community is also genocide, even when it's taking place at the hands of settlers, not the Israeli military.

The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally. Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

“Leave Greenland alone!” Heckler interrupts Star-Spangled Banner at NBA game in London, wins cheers from crowd. (Video via Reddit)

Bruce Springsteen calls out ICE and dedicates song to Renne Good: "If you believe you don't deserved to be murdered for exercising your American right to protest, then send a message to this president. As the mayor of that city has said, "ICE should get the fuck out of Minneapolis."

I transitioned so I never have to pretend to care about sports ever again.

Bill Cassidy, a medical doctor, beclowned himself and endangered millions of lives by voting to confirm RFK Jr. in an attempt to get on Trump's good side after voting to impeach him for January 6. And what did Cassidy get for it? Trump endorsing against him in a primary.

Apparently America has finally met a war it doesn’t like

If you are too rude about my invasion of your state with my fake ass but definitely also heavily armed non-troop troops, I will then try to invade you with troop-troops; I am a president, somehow

The political ground is shifting on ICE. Your own Dem rep or senator may not have caught up yet. Now - before the 1/30 funding deadline - is the time to push.

fun fact: if a recipe tells you it will take 8 to 10 minutes to caramelize onions, they're a lying-ass bitch

In all seriousness @corybooker. WTH is wrong with you?! Read the room. There’s no “reforming” the Gestapo. Abolishing ICE should be your first concern. Do that, or resign. We can’t believe we have to keep telling you and other Dems!
