Dear #Canadian Neighbors: imagine watching it from the inside... 🤮 😭 🤬 🤬

Important work here from the NYT. Ross wasn’t run over. He dropped his cell phone, which he had shifted to his left hand to draw his weapon. And then he shot and killed a person with the gun in his right hand. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/v...

Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

Back in the pre-Trump era, I wonder how we would have responded if someone had predicted the following headline if Trump were to be elected president? Although JD Vance did call Trump "America's Hitler" in 2016.

For the first time, a map has been created that allows people to type in their ZIP code and see an estimated percentage of their neighbors who have been vaccinated against measles, which can help determine the risk of the disease in their area. abcnews.go.com/Health/new-m...

Lindsey Graham debates Lindsey Graham:

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

".. when you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms,” Trump said. He boasted that he had accomplished so much that “when you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election.” @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...

The Central Park 5, wrongfully convicted after they retracted coerced confessions to raping a Central Park jogger, were released more than a decade later, after a serial rapist confessed (confirmed by DNA). Trump ran a full page ad shortly after the attack calling for the death penalty.

Talk about history rhyming. . . Great Britain and France declare war on Germany after they invade Poland (as the Soviet Union and Germany divide up Poland) Trump threatens Greenland. Great Britain discusses defending Greenland. A Putin ally suggests that Russia and the US jointly occupy Greenland

Jake Tapper points out the screaming hypocrisy Re: Trump pardoning the violent thugs who assaulted more than 140 police officers on J6, versus justifying the execution of a woman in her car who was turning her car away from ICE agents: www.facebook.com/cnn/videos/1...

Here's a question I've wondered about quite a bit. What would it take for a majority of Trump supporters, in and out of office, to call for Trump's impeachment with a conviction in the Senate and removal from office? If not threatening to go to war with NATO allies, what exactly would it take?

www.cbsnews.com/news/state-o... Purdue University staff speak out after university switches to AffirmedRx, doubling medication costs www.purdueexponent.org/campus/featu... T1D supplies went from $50 per month to $1,000 per month, and this is employer sponsored health insurance.

One of biggest Purdue University stories this year. Excellent reporting by The Purdue Exponent (independent student paper). CEO of new pharma provider gave PU $20m this year. Recruiter in College of Engineering paying $1K/mo for type 1 diabetes meds, had to move in with his parents to afford it.

Vice President JD Vance—before he abandoned his principles to become a groveling Trump sycophant—warned us in 2016 that Trump was "America's Hitler," and John Kelly, Trump's former Chief of Staff, warned us in 2024 that Trump is a fascist. And here we are.

Solid take. ICE nazi has anger issues. He didn't like the fat comment. And his ego was bruised. He decided to kill over it.

The US has the highest per capita healthcare costs, highest maternal mortality rate and the lowest life expectancy among developed countries, but Trump and RFK, Jr. seem intent on making a catastrophic healthcare system even worse. www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collec...

JD Vance warned in 2016 that Trump was "America's Hitler," and John Kelly, Trump's former Chief of Staff, warned in 2024 that Trump met the definition of a fascist. And here we are. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

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

The Atlantic: The Anti-Vaxxers’ Next Move (1.6.26) Nothing seems to be stopping Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from driving America over a vaccine cliff. archive.is/2wbso Kennedy allies see the announcement as merely a first step toward eliminating all of the government’s vaccine recommendations.

With his overhaul of the childhood-vaccine schedule, RFK Jr. has brought the U.S. to a precipice—and now seemingly nothing is stopping him from driving the country over the edge, Tom Bartlett reports.

Trump message after Pro-Trump mob overran the US Capitol on J6 millercenter.org/the-presiden...

Re: J6: Conflicting statements by Trump on 1.7.21 and on a White House website on 1.6.26 & the facts regarding who called for National Guard troops (Pence) and who did not call for National Guard troops (Trump) on the day that a pro-Trump mob overran the US Capitol and assaulted 140 police officers

Hilton Hotels doubles-down on their support for the American Gestapo. When looking for a hotel, there are *plenty* of other choices.

No one I’ve admitted this year for influenza has been vaccinated.

October, 2024 in regard to J6: Trump falsely claimed that "We" (as in the violent insurrectionists) didn't have guns. The "Others" (as in the police officers defending the Capitol) had guns.

Despite moments of GOP clarity, most Republicans continue to show Profiles in Cowardice Re: J6. Mitch McConnell (Re: J6): "A violent insurrection with the purpose of trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election from one administration to the next”

In case anyone has any doubts that the country elected a fascist as president in 2024, despite 2024 warnings from the People of Germany, Stephen Miller confirmed it yesterday: Stephen Miller Asserts U.S. Has Right to Take Greenland Gift Link: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/u...
