damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis

The Fed has many more tools beyond setting interest rates that Trump could seize if SCOTUS kills Federal Reserve independence. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-f...

Donald Trump has another, hidden agenda for his tariffs: helping Big Tech companies. Trump's using tariffs to threaten other countries and force them to change laws that regulate Big Tech. So yes – you could be paying more from tariffs so that Trump can help Amazon and Meta.

Why was Jeffrey Epstein’s procurer transferred to a cushy prison?

Ahead of Trump's one-year mark back in office, @ashleymurray.bsky.social and I put together a package of many of the ways in which he has expanded presidential power -- and what it means for U.S. democracy. Via @statesnewsroom.com

Through #CountTheVote, we discovered thousands of pages of discrepancy reports in Brooklyn, NY. where the same voting machines reported different numbers of ballots & votes for candidates. Full video www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gVt...

A reminder that ICE’s budget, $28 billion, is larger than the annual budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals Service and the Bureau of Prisons combined. (Via Bernie Sanders)

This includes the rioters, but also should have included every Republican in Congress—or at least the ones that provided material aid and instigation to the insurrection and the ones that voted to overturn the results.

"We’re actually seeing new super PACs being established. One of them has already committed to spending $100 million in the midterms. And we’re seeing politicians and candidates speaking very frankly about wanting to install pro-crypto candidates" more here: www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. I can't sneeze or cough bc it's dangerous to. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

“I will be blind for life. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, plastic in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.” Kaden Rummler was shot in the face by Trump’s ICE goons, then dragged

He is 21, now blind in one eye for life He was not armed or dangerous Kaden Rummier is a college student using his First Amendment Right ICE SHOT HIM, pepper balls My heart breaks for this young man...the loss of vision is so DIBILITATING & can be painful, I know Your equilibrium ICE MUST STOP

I was in the midst of preparing a Morning Memo arguing that Minneapolis is shaping up to be the catalyzing moment that Trump was looking for to justify doing what he has wanted to do since his 1st term: invoke the Insurrection Act...when he posted exactly that: talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

It used to be that victims of murders in the U.S. would be smeared by InfoWars and Gateway Pundit as a way to fetishize guns and violence for ad dollars and supplement sales, with the added benefit of cozying up to far-right politicians. Now that work is done by CBS News.

Because of Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” the annual ICE budget — at $28 billion — is now larger than the annual budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service and the Bureau of Prisons COMBINED. No. The American people do not want Trump's domestic army.

I worry that people are relying too heavily on the fact that all this is unpopular in the polls. Most autocrats are unpopular with their people. Once you control every branch of government, muzzle the press, and start murdering your own citizens with impunity, you don't need to be popular.

And there it is.

We should keep in mind that the materials concerning Venezuela which the Trump administration claims were leaked by this suspect were in fact all leaked by Trump himself in White House gab sessions.

Sorry, as Trump assaults migrants with masked Gestapo, eviscerates women's rights, suppresses voting, gives trillions to billionaires, and uses the constitution as toilet paper, the claim that "both sides" are the same is something I truly can't stomach. This is what got this fascist cretin elected

the details in here are horrific, not just what these two experience but what they saw in detention—including male agents circling a woman as she tried to use the bathroom. No paywall. apnews.com/article/immi...

For a party that calls everything “socialism,” Republicans sure got real quiet when Trump tried to set the price of money. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

🚨HOLY SHIT: Trump fell asleep right in the middle of the meeting and it looks like the little girl noticed:

They’re literally acting like fucking Russians

“She also claimed that the officers did not immediately call paramedics after he was struck, and instead pressed his face into a pool of blood. ‘The other officers were mocking him, saying, You’re going to lose your eye,' she said her nephew told her.” people.com/protester-21...

Daniel Dale’s “Trump fact-checks” have reached parody level. This is today’s. 🤡 @ddale8.bsky.social @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2026/01/13/p...

most of the viral videos i have seen, including the one in the picture (i believe) - involve u.s. citizens, so what are they cracking down on now? using the language of those in power gives them the ability to define the narrative & spreads misinfo. Journalists should use fact based descriptions.

Trump is demanding a “list of Jews” from the University of Pennsylvania. Here’s why liberals have an antisemitism problem.

The Minnesota shooting case is now metastasizing unlike any i've ever seen. The successive resignations of heads of the crim section at CRD and 3 top career prosecutors in Minn -- who had hung in all this year n/w/stg multiple outrages-- means the Department is in open revolt in DC and the field.

Trump is now signaling his next move. He will deport U.S. citizens he does not like.

Prison for all ICE scumbags. Misogynist, racist, fascist losers who’ve been told they’re above the law. They all need to be thrown in a fucking dungeon for life.

BREAKING: ICE agents in Minneapolis violently detained and arrested a U.S. citizen for one reason only: he refused to prove his citizenship. No crime. No warrant. No probable cause.

Remember the republican meltdown when Bill Clinton met with Loretta Lynch on a tarmac?

Rep. Robin Kelly (D-IL) announces that she has filed three Articles of Impeachment against Defense Secretary Kristi Noem for Obstruction, Violation of Public Trust, and Self-Dealing, saying: "In this country, we do not kill people in cold blood." Watch here: substack.com/@shero/note/...
