Liberals say that Trump's plan to steal the 2026 election undermines our democracy. They're wrong—Trump's plan to steal the 2026 election undermines our republic.

Neither sugar nor citric acid are a remedy for exposure to tear gas

Do not download a “free” pdf copy of any of my books from dodgy “free pdf” sites. They are literally stealing from me and many other authors. And these files often have malware

Jeff Bezos is right. There is no need to have correspondents reporting in Europe when you can get all that information from Russia. They'll even pay YOU. by Benny Johnson and Tim Pool

On brand. Robert James Ritchie aka “Kid Rock” “his song ‘Cool, Daddy Cool’ that contains these lyrics: ‘Young ladies, young ladies, I like ‘em underage,’ ‘See some say that’s statutory.’ ‘But I say it’s mandatory.’”” www.usmagazine.com/entertainmen...

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

“The program has reduced the time that Bozeman police officers must spend on mental health calls by nearly 80%, according to Mattson, and prevented unnecessary ER visits.”

Y’all didn’t realize they were using “Democracy dies in darkness” as a mission statement, not a salutary motto

Yikes. Heck of a picture (1/28/26) showing Trump’s decline from Mark Schiefelbein/AP. Makeup can only cover so much.

So the deficit is back, but because of tariffs we are paying double-digit percent more for all imports. So much winning! www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

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!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Tho petitioner T.R. has been released, his atty tells me he will ask Judge Schilitz to go forward with Friday's hearing and make ICE director Lyons show cause why he shouldn't be held in contempt for not releasing TR earlier. (Info per TR atty Graham Ojala Barbour.)

Fixed it for you @wsj.com You can use passive voice all you want, the truth is the border agents killed him.

This.

“The posts have referred to neo-Nazi literature, ethnic cleansing and QAnon conspiracies, mused about deporting nearly a third of the U.S. population, and promoted lyrics from an anthem bellowed by the far-right militants of the Proud Boys.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u...

Morning everyone 🌞 This post from my Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social is very scary 😱

I really just want this: 1. I do not want people exposed to smoke or tear gas to be treated with atropine, which is the key nerve agent medicine. Because that may kill people. 2. I do not want people to be more afraid of smoke and tear gas. Making people MORE afraid helps the bad people.

Tear gas and smoke grenades are not pressurized spray cans. They are burning at stupidly hot temperatures, like 800 deg C. That’s C. Not F. Go do the conversion

The Atlantic finally catching up with what some of us have been saying for *years*

Well I just learned that as of January 2026, undocumented patients can no longer get full Medicaid and healthcare workers like me get to watch them die.

Houthi supporters are issuing public statements warning that they would come to Iran’s defense in the event of a U.S. or Israeli attack. Fully expect a return of Houthi missile fires on Israel, and possibly U.S. bases, if an attack on Iran occurs. Proxies in Iraq may also get involved this time.

The whole question of "would you feel safer if men were replaced by bears”…. Well… If I were attacked by a bear, people would believe me.

The US government is now calling this ICU nurse who worked at a Veterans hospital a ‘domestic terrorist’. The NY Times has this profile of Alex Pretti who ‘wanted to be a ‘force of good in the world.’ www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/u...

Apparently legally carrying a concealed firearm is grounds for being shot by the US government. I wonder what the NRA thinks now.

“For 2026, Musk is focused on converting Trump voters, some of whom have only shown up to vote for Trump in the presidential election, into midterm and down-ballot voters, according to some of the people.” www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

This is not what a constitutional democracy looks like.

COLLINS: Did it stand out to you that he said Iceland multiple times when he was talking about Greenland? NEWSOM: And that every time a windmill turns it costs $1,000. A lot of stuff stands out. None of this is normal. There's a deviancy of consciousness. He's graded off the curve.

We need a full and transparent investigation.

I don't know how anyone can read the Airbnb files and think that the Monroe County Law Department works for the people or the legislature. They work for Adam Bello, and Joe Morelle and his lobbyist son. They can be fired at will. That's all you need to know.

We will always protect our strategic economic and security interests. We will face these challenges to our European solidarity with steadiness and resolve.

I spoke to the Secretary-General of NATO, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Friedrich Merz and Giorgia Meloni. Together we stand firm in our commitment to uphold the sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark.

Follow the money
