Just because Trump is willing to sell his country for money, he assumes everyone is willing to do the same.

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands. Video: @minnesotareformer.com with annotations by Bellingcat

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

I was unaware the US gov't has the right to murder its citizens for sport.

The agent was not in the path of the SUV when he fired 3 shots” and was not run over.

A year until Trump gets impeached (again).

The UNFCCC in this list is a *treaty*, not an org. Unclear if a POTUS can unilaterally withdraw without congressional approval. What is clear: there is no way we will be able to join again, given that ratification is a very high bar to meet.

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power - file impeachment articles every day in the House - withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee - be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

“.. In the last four months alone, immigration officers have fired on at least nine people in five states and Washington, D.C. All of the individuals targeted in those shootings were, like the woman killed on Wednesday, fired on while in their vehicles.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/u...

Come the fuck on. Five hours later and the headline is still about a disputed shooting. Just a basic lack of courage to acknowledge the obvious.

I hope all these Trump admin officials remember what happens to enablers of authoritarianism when autocrats get toppled.

More than a 50% increase in defense spending.

We are a pariah state.

They will murder unarmed citizens and then accuse them of wrongdoing. Zero sense of accountability or shame.

"We are the hyenas, if you will, of the Western Hemisphere. We are opportunists, we shriek a lot without reason, and nobody likes us."

Insane how much damage Trump has done to America's security and geopolitical interests. This is irreparable and will have generational reverberating effects. www.bbc.com/news/article...

New, from me: The Trump administration isn’t just using social media to shape a narrative. They view the world through a social media lens in a way that is plausibly corrupting their judgment and undermining their performance. Welcome to the clicktatorship. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/life-under...

If you're writing 1800 words about how we failed to account for January 6 and DON'T mention SCOTUS (particularly if you're comparing with Brazil) or impeachment, you're simply doing propaganda for the GOP.

Joint statement from major NATO members: “Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland.”

It is absolutely bonkers that the US would be threatening Denmark over Greenland.

Someone should get Trump a hairless cat to caress whenever he is on TV.

One of the (many) reasons X should be banned by the EU.

2026 decided to suck early.

Just re-upping for no reason whatsoever.

"Chancellor Hitler’s actions today with Poland raise more questions than answers. Is Germany going to be involved in running and stabilizing Poland? Today's actions raise many questions about the stability of the region and our policy towards Europe."

Vladimir Trump.

This war is completely illegitimate: 60% of Americans disapprove of going to war with Venezuela—74% disapprove war without Congressional approval. Only 19% are in favor. The people oppose it. Our representatives didn’t approve it. Trump should be removed for this unconstitutional war.

If Congress, the media, the people, and the international community do not stand up against Trump's illegal actions in Venezuela, he will do it again and again. At this point, he should be treated like Putin.

So a lot of the charges against Maduro are either cocaine importation, which Trump pardoned Hernandez for, or owning machine guns, which is a constitutionally protected right in the US

Do we even have a Congress right now?

it’s all illegal and impeachable

Al Jazeera ran a video of Venezuelans partying and thanking Trump in Miami. I don't think they realize what Trump has in store for them.

The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too. Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

If I were Greenland or Denmark, I would be making plans rn.

We are a rogue state, run by a dictator, and the international community should treat us as such including all appropriate economic and diplomatic sanctions

That FIFA Peace Prize sure aged well.

So, if other states do not like Trump they can just kidnap him -- is this how it goes now?

Congress could, and should, impeach, remove, and convict by the end of the day.

We just bombed a nation that has taken no aggressive action against us *and* kidnapped their leader. So, every other nation can do it too, no?

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Them's the rules!

unvarnished gutter racism and Nazism from the president. a disgrace to our country.

In favor of a countdown and ball drop at 8pm for those of us over 40.

He's never interacted with a parent (or a functional human being of any sort) so he thinks those facilities are like puppy daycares.

BREAKING: The House Judiciary Committee has released Jack Smith's 255-page deposition transcript: judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Even if a loss is almost guaranteed, such pardons should be challenged in court when Dems come back to power.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy
