ERLING. BRAUT. HAALAND. 1-0 CITY!!!

More authoritarianism and intimidation. This is not about 2020. That’s the smokescreen. This is about the midterms and 2028. There will be a lot more of this in the coming months.

PM of Greenland Nielsen to President Macron: "You stood by our side without any hesitation in the extremely difficult situation we are facing. To you and to the French people, I wish to express my thanks. Greenland will not forget this."

DUCKWORTH: If it's true that we are not at war with Venezuela, will you advise the president to rescind his invocation of the wartime Alien Enemies Act? RUBIO: That was a mechanism to remove people from our country that present great danger D: It's a wartime act. Are we currently at war? R: No

You have the right to ask to see the warrant 📌You have the right to refuse entry without a judicial warrant 📌You have the right to remain silent Door-to-door enforcement without judicial oversight is not “law and order.” #NoWarrantNoICE

Premier @davidebybc.bsky.social and I are working together to build safer communities and create massive new economic opportunities for British Columbians — securing new export markets abroad and building major projects at home.

California AG Bonta joined Professor Meiselas’s law class at USC today as a guest lecturer.

An ICE agent attempted to enter the Ecuadorian Consulate in Minneapolis, threatening the staff member who prevented him from entering. Hello? ICE is so out of control that its agents think they can break international law. Congress needs to rein them in yesterday.

In exciting Iceland news that not many other people will understand or celebrate haha, our Men's Handball team is into the semi-finals for only the third time ever in the Euros. We're a tiny nation, so we get excited when we score big on the international stage. Áfram Ísland! #handball #iceland

Ilhan Omar: “In the 4 years when Biden was president, my death threats went to almost zero — now they are back up — so there is a clear correlation between his presidency & the political violence that we see & the political danger that a lot of members of Congress & electeds feel across the country”

“We will guarantee his safety,” says the Kremlin. - This from the same system that guarantees safety with poison, prisons, or windows. "Inviting Zelensky to Moscow for “talks” isn’t diplomacy." - It’s dark comedy written by people who think memory resets every news cycle. 🤡👇🤡

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

Incredible self own for the US. The damage being done to the US scientific enterprise is generational. We will look back on this as a tipping point where the US chose all on its own to stop leading the world in science. www.science.org/content/arti...

Happy birthday to Alan Cumming, seen here in his brief but scene-stealing performance in Stanley Kubrick's EYES WIDE SHUT (1999).

RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war? RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

Raskin: ICE and CBP — these are not law enforcement entities, and at this point they’re completely lawless. They’re outside of the Constitution.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

We should pay more attention to what people are saying behind the scenes, and Frumpy’s earshot. Especially when they deny it to avoid his demented wrath.

@juliemcneil.bsky.social I really miss Janey these days. She still rages against Trump!

Canada is strongest when we take of each other. That’s why we created the new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit — to help more than 12 million Canadians with lower incomes put good food on the table.

“I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

SHAHEEN: It's been reported that the oil sold for $500 million and $300 million went to Venezuelan government. What happened to the other $200 million? RUBIO: It's still sitting in the account is my understanding SHAHEEN: The account in Qatar? RUBIO: Yes

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story. An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

I drove past a cybertruck this morning and that was bad enough but then it had the license plate CYBRTRK and like…if you can’t readily tell that your atrocity on wheels is a cybertruck to the extent you need to make that the license plate, maybe you shouldn’t be driving.

Forty years ago today (Jan 28 2026), the crew of Space Shuttle Challenger 51L slipped the surly bonds of Earth to touch the face of God. Francis R. (Dick) Scobee, Michael J. Smith, Ronald E. McNair, Ellison S. Onizuka, Judith A. Resnik, Gregory Jarvis and Christa McAuliffe.

Kristi Noem: "Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen"

Thank you, Mr. President.

I've managed to write a piece based entirely around the hot dog guy meme and now I feel I can retire

Elie Wiesel warned that, “to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.” Canada will remember – so that “Never Again” is always true.

Good to meet with Premier Main in Ottawa today. Arctic security is a key priority for both our governments. Looking forward to working together to build a stronger economy and safer communities for the people of Nunavut.

Bin day used to be a bit scary for #sophiefromromania but it doesn’t really bother her now - and she’s forgiven me for going away for a night

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox News on Monday that Mark Carney was "very aggressively walking back" some of the remarks to Trump— Carney said on Tuesday: “To be absolutely clear, and I said this to the president — I meant what I said in Davos"

Westminster has had over 300 years to get it right, and to be politely frank, they’ve made a complete mess of it and it’s only getting worse. Scotland has another option. Whatever you do on 7 May - VOTE FOR SCOTLAND

Post the cover of a book you love from the 90s. (Any century!) #BookSky #bookchallenge #readingchallenge #readingcommunity #booktok #bookish #books

Yesterday we got to celebrate my twins turning 5. Everything was closed due to the weather but they had a blast. My daughter said it was her best birthday ever. I can’t believe they are already 5. Love them so much ❤️

So basically Albert Speer’s defense at Nuremberg.

I’ve wanted to read Richard Coles’s ‘The Madness of Grief’ for a while, but Coles’s partner died in the same year as my wife, so it always felt a bit close to home. After studying some extracts from this memoir at a writing workshop last week, though, I decided to take the plunge, and I’m very glad

Tesla sales slumping even further. Keep the pressure up. Never Tesla! electrek.co/2026/01/27/t...

27 January 1973 - The Sweet appeared at the Grand Hall in Kilmarnock and were driven offstage by a barrage of bottles. The incident inspired their song ‘Ballroom Blitz’ which went on to reach no 1 in Canada, no 2 in the UK & Australia, and no 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100. #Sweet

Bovino was forced out of Minnesota because the American people stood firm. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in below-freezing temps to peacefully defend their neighbors & freedoms. We’ll keep fighting. No more deaths at the hands of rogue DHS agents.

The anger against this fascist Trump regime trying to enslave us all right now is palpable across the country! My question is why the hell did it have to take the deaths of all these innocent ICE victims before people here finally woke up to what the fuck was going on in our country?! #Maddow

Some of my friends don’t watch or read the news because it’s upsetting. I love my friends, but I think they’re wrong. If terrible things are happening, we need to know. Self-care is important, but we need to know — so we can act. If a tiger is about to jump on you, ignorance is not self-care.

I think it would be an incredible idea for American Olympians to refuse to be accompanied by ICE to the Milan Games. I would be more proud of that statement than any amount of gold medals we could win.
