The CIA announced today that they will no longer be producing their World Fact Book due to budget constraints and staff cuts. (Trump) The final 2025-2026 version was released in early 2026, and is currently available. www.cia.gov/stories/stor...

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program. This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE. Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

How much money has Trump pocketed from the presidency since his second election? NYTimes Editorial Board did the math and it’s insane….

Initial reports about Bezos’ WaPo layoffs include all photographers & photojournalists, all journalists & editors in the Middle East. WaPo’s Ukraine, Berlin and Jerusalem bureaus are shuttered. The sports & books desks have been eliminated. #WashingtonPost

Dr Oz wants average Americans to work their entire lives to support tax breaks for the wealthy 1%.

Are we really surprised?

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow - three more years of Trump.

Twenty-three years ago today, seven astronauts never made it home when we lost space shuttle Columbia. It was a tragedy that changed space exploration and reminded us of its incredible risks. I think about their families every Feb. 1st. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Trump is closing the Kennedy Center for two years for supposed renovations. He claims he is going to rebuild it — many believe he’s going to tear it down. The Kennedy Center has been unable to generate revenue since it was rebranded with his name.

It was probably difficult to foresee that Trump would put the Kennedy Center out of business.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is two or three days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

ICE raids are sparking mass protests, walkouts, and clashes across the U.S.

Trump-Epstein complaint summaries are back — DOJ responds to public outcry. Trump is a pedophile. Trump is a sex offender. Trump must be immediately charged and removed from office. Presidential immunity doesn’t excuse personal crimes. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

How I feel about the news today:

DOJ has since killed this link. This is what was there:

Why did the DOJ just delete the Epstein Files? 🤔

Today, we remember all the victims murdered during the Holocaust, and we stand with those who survived. We also mark the 81st anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. This dark memory must be passed to future generations. Never again.

You won’t see Trump do this, he’s stumping for his deteriorating party. #HolocaustRemembranceDay

"'He had one problem,' Trump said. 'At a certain age, about 86, 87, he started getting, what do they call it?' He pointed to his forehead and looked to his press secretary for the word that escaped him. 'Alzheimer’s,' Leavitt said." Must read from Ben Terris. The kicker! nymag.com/intelligence...

Holy shit.

He wasn't killed because he had a gun. He was killed because he had a camera.

All of this is a pretext for voter fraud.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Gov. Tim Walz: "Thank God we have video, because according to DHS, these seven heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against them or something. It's nonsense, people. It's nonsense and it is lies."

A DHS statement claimed “an individual approached US Border Patrol officers” with “a handgun” in the Alex Pretti shooting incident. A Bellingcat analysis of the footage appears to show that a gun was taken away from where Pretti was situated by an agent just before the first shot was fired.
