Trump's Board of Peace combines the scaminess of Trump University, the membership rules of Mar-a-Lago, and the spirit of Trump’s newfound interest in imperialism. It is also one of the greatest bait-and-switches in diplomatic history. www.telos.news/p/the-humili...

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

🚨 #ICE/Border Patrol agents were caught on camera committing a 'hit-and-run' in #Minneapolis. In the video, an unmarked federal vehicle is stopped in the road. A legal observer is sitting in a car behind them, not violating the law, just observing.

An Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient says that he was tackled and arrested by ICE agents in Minneapolis and held in a cell for eight hours without being allowed to contact an attorney or his family. abcnews.visitlink.me/8pKDq_

Breaking NYT: The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

Oh, wait, I think I remember now!

You know, I think I once read a book somewhere that explained this .... 🤔

Meanwhile in Russia: decorated state TV host Vladimir Solovyov praised Donald Trump for the way he is treating America's allies: "Well done, Trumpushka! Well done!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c-q...

You can't fix stupid. But we can impeach and imprison it.

I can’t wait until the next Democratic president takes office, so all these ICE thugs — and their bosses — can be brought up on charges.

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

The late-night hosts questioned the relevance of the old rule in an era where broadcast TV viewership is declining and labeled it as a bid to stifle their speech.

Yesterday, over 30,000 people protested against ICE in below-zero temperatures. Amazing work, everyone. Minnesota strong. Tomorrow, there will be more of us.

Gov. Janet Mills: "If they have warrants, show the warrants. In America, we don't believe in secret arrests or secret police."

It’s posts like this that make Canada and other countries want to do deals with China and leave the United States all alone. This is the language of an abusive ex.

Can't believe I have to say this but climate change is responsible for extreme cold snaps.

OMG, Sen. Collins–Do you think he has finally LEARNED HIS LESSON????? apple.news/Ag8uXPVDtRZ-...

true, as i say in this column zeteo.com/p/trump-puti...

Americans are more or less inured to Donald Trump’s incoherent ramblings and political theatre. After his speech in Davos, stunned Europeans are inclined to call his behavior what it is: out of control. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/IOTmJO

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) told CNN he is seriously considering running for president in 2028.

There’s no reforming this

This is a list of businesses across Minnesota that are closing tomorrow in solidarity with the economic shutdown. Huge thanks to every one of them for stepping up. If your business is also closing, drop it below.

Just call him President Epstein. Always.

How can our Department of Justice be so corrupt?! They assure us of no justice whatsoever! ⚖️🇺🇸⚖️🇺🇸⚖️🇺🇸⚖️🇺🇸⚖️🇺🇸

He isn’t IN the Epstein files he IS the Epstein files!

I prefer Presidents who can remember which ally they want to invade.

Trump boasts about stopping wars but has now stopped supplying Patriot missiles to Ukraine. He has done everything to help his war criminal buddy Putin, who put him in office. Trump is a massive coward. He could stop Putin by giving Ukraine long-range missions.

The Epstein files should have been released a long time ago.

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

"We have every force in our society right now trying to push us apart, trying to tell us to give up on politics, on government, and on one another. And if that succeeds, the authoritarian forces that we see right now...that will be their final victory." @mcbride.house.gov:

Release the Epstein Files NOW!

House republicans sure are worried that Trump only had 5 months to mount a defense for his attempted COUP. Give me a break Trump has never not delayed (until hell froze over) every single legal action he has ever been involved in. PERIOD. FULL STOP!

The U. S. military has historically refused to get involved in domestic politics, for good reason. I think that will be changing. I think they will have to. The reason for the change is that we’ve never been here before. For them to do otherwise would violate their oaths which they’re loath to do.

I’m with @michaelfanone.bsky.social

100 cosponsors and 30k letters sent to Congress for impeaching Noem in a week is something special. But we aren’t even close to the finish line, so let’s keep pushing!

The post of an absolute madman.

I can't even keep up with the lies in Jim Jordan's opening statement, but I find it interesting that he's complaining about toll record warrants obtained by a judge, while this administration has determined judicial warrants aren't needed to enter our homes.

open.substack.com/pub/contrari... "Trump is getting loonier, more dangerous, and more violent, underscoring Republican paralysis and cowardice. But as he decomposes, he winds up emboldening the public backlash, which, in the end is what will stand between Trump and totalitarian control.." Read this

The Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution states, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation..."

Folks, if you're looking for today's pod, it's here. Due to a tech glitch it didn't appear in the usual places. @monacharen.bsky.social and I take apart Karoline Leavitt/JD Vance's ludicrous effort to turn Trump's Davos fiasco into a world-historical triumph: newrepublic.com/article/2055...
