New internal documents show ICE is planning a major expansion of its detention and transfer network centered in Minnesota with capacity across five Midwest states.

Is this the most dangerous, and unhinged, international speech by a US president ever? Demands Greenland (and Iceland). Threatens Canada. Trashes NATO. Makes fun of leaders. Disparages Europe's environmental goals. Carney was right to call our current moment a "rupture"

I do not believe Trump has ruled out the use of force over Greenland, FWIW.

Yeah, no Democratic voter, and nobody else around the world for that matter, is looking for a candidate who minimizes the threat that Trump poses just so he can win a personal machismo contest with a dementia patient

Kav: What you're asking us to do is give the President insane amounts of uncontrollable power. What are we doing? Sauer: You've already given the President that power. Just keep doing it

I think it’s bad that the Speaker of the House has been in a sensory deprivation tank since roughly 2015 and only emerges to get yelled at in the hallway outside of the tank.

For someone who claims to hate California so much, Ted sure likes to visit.

I believe Newsom is wrong.

Weird tell on the part of Barrett. There is no legal reason to consider the risk of recession, and they have not accounted for tangible harms to public services when allowing Trump to gut the rest of the administrative state. Does reinforce the concept of an emerging "protect our 401Ks" doctrine.

Amongst other notable aspects of this Greenland nonsense, I'm not aware of the administration acknowledging any role for Congress: --Would the admin seek funds to "buy" the island? --Seek to annex the territory through a treaty or joint resolution? (Senate blocked US Grant's treaty to annex DR.)

Every day some story breaks me some. Today it’s the guy who approached parents at a school patrol, told them he was with Indivisible, and asked about how the patrol system works. The parents gave vague answers, followed him back to his car — and of course it was ICE.

His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

One year later, the immigrant workers helping L.A. rebuild following devastating wildfires are now targets for mass deportation: americasvoice.org/blog/one-yea...

Watch out Disneyland

Okay the pandemic stuff is wild, but did he just say he'd beat Washington and Lincoln in a presidential race

In Trump's telling, the US are the equivalent of the Nazis

This wasn't a slip in the tongue. He repeatedly invoked Iceland rather than Greenland through the speech.

Senile fool

OMG 😳 Senior CDC official: Loss of measles elimination status in U.S. would be ‘cost of doing business’, via @statnews.com

However this Trump rant-o-thon ends, even if it's TACO, the damage is done, and also, he's going to back to his home country where his personal militia is currently occupying a city. Pre-registering a plea for headline writers not to say "it wasn't so bad." [of course, the rant may yet get worse]

I feel no inclination to give up my retirement years so they can boost a stat. How about just taxing the rich?

Call me crazy but “only one person booed and it was Al Gore” sounds like a whopper of a lie by the Commerce Department to try to pin it on a sicko lib to save face about whatever actually happened

what do you MEAN Al Gore heckled Lutnick at Davos

Trump corruption just made it harder to switch phones between wireless carriers, a huge gift to shitty, predatory telecoms that hate competition. Enjoy the populism everyone!

Mischief Toy Store in St. Paul has until Wednesday to turn over employment records to the Department of Homeland Security as part of a surprise audit launched Friday, just hours after one of the shop's owners criticized ICE agents during a television interview. bit.ly/4r5AFol

Arrogance as economic strategy

"Research would tell us that most ICE agents entered into these jobs in part because they want approval, and they want to affirm their masculinity in public," said sociologist Nicole Bedera. "An ICE watch works by surrounding these people ... with disapproval."

Is having an ass not covered in shit woke guys?

I want to know more but I'm actually impressed a member who has only been in office since 2023 did this.

Minnesota's Republican House Speaker Lisa Demuth made a Facebook post critical of an anti-ICE protest at a church, and got ratioed by her own daughter in the comments www.facebook.com/LisaforMN/po...

Yep. Wider adoption would happen if people found it useful. If it fails, that's just the market speaking. Nadella's (and other CEOs) problem is they've bet the farm on the technology and spent too much to allow it to fail.

Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary was asked if he’d add Starlink to the airline’s 650-plane fleet. He called Musk an idiot, saying the antennas would raise fuel burn by 2%, costing $250M a year, and called X a cesspit. Musk now wants to buy Ryanair for $35B. www.politico.eu/article/elon...

Mozambique's disaster agency has shared footage of a rescue of stranded residents in flood-stricken Gaza province. Weeks of heavy rain and storms in Mozambique and neighboring South Africa have killed at least 150 people.

For the first time in history, the archbishop responsible for U.S. service members said officers may be morally obligated to disobey a sitting president’s orders. Broglio said a Trump-ordered invasion of Greenland would violate Catholic teaching and that Catholic troops could refuse to comply.

Elon Musk is donating $10 million to a Republican primary candidate in Kentucky. That’s more money than the vast majority of Americans will ever see — much less donate. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

That's impressive work.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

Senator Chris Van Hollen is also a No on the DHS funding deal, his spox confirms to me.

I don't have any children in my life any more, but please share this with those who do.

Gov Tim Walz's office has now received a subpoena from DOJ, his office just confirmed. Absolutely vile. The only people facing federal investigation of any kind right now for the killing of Renee Good are Minnesota officials who drew attention to it.

It's so exhausting to to be constantly told by American leaders that the defining policy of the 80 odd years during which the US became the most wealthy and powerful country in the history of the world was a grossly unfair failure for them.
