TX SHOCKER: Dem FLIPS deep-red Senate seat Trump won by +17 pts (a 31-pt swing!) despite $$ & Trump endorsement! @sykescharlie.bsky.social & I break it down — plus the ICE backlash & Epstein files dump! Watch now:

Can say that again!

Isn’t it interesting that the one thing that gets ICE goons panties in a wad is the presence of a phone…finally our phones are being used for good instead of doom scrolling, algorithms and echo chambers. If your actions cannot stand up to “sunlight” then you are doing something wrong.

Just think the MURDOCH OWNED WSJ put this story out exposing the massive corruption in the 47 administration. Which also means is passed legal dept. Not sure if you will be able to access the story, WSJ doesn’t give me “gift” option like other subscription services. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

HOW TO PEACEFULLY, LEGALLY END THE TRUMP REGIME - RIGHT NOW. Step by step instructions to wrap this up, today. Caveat: Reporters have to do their jobs. They just got the tools courtesy Pam Bondi's Epstein reveal. The new Countdown Podcast drops at midnight

Omg 😱

Jake Tapper Files in enclosed X post contain some Epstein files that no longer exist on DOJ site!!! {click link} x.com/jaketapper/s...

lardass continues to rag on FED Chair Jay and the FED Building. The Federal Reserve is self funded and that includes the building renovations. Not one taxpayer dollar is being spent by the Fed. As always, lardass lies and corporate media lets him get away with it.

Hey @nytimes.com , did you overlook his presence in the Epstein files? Do better! Update the article or do another one FFS. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/b...

This was so predictable…markets don’t like chaos and uncertainty. Investors also want to be in countries that have a strong legal system (rule of law). Trump/MAGAsshats are nothing but CHAOS and the “rule of law” is for everyone else, not them. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/b...

This was on The Bulwark’s podcast last night with @timmiller.bsky.social and Sam Stein. But the question has to be: If DOJ allowed this to come out, how bad is the stuff they are NOT releasing (deleting, redacting, covering up)???

European Union is our largest trading partner…Trump’s policies* are stupid and will reduce trade with American companies in the future. “MAGA” is such a bullshit term, he is only making us weaker (less trade, NATO, USAID soft power/influence, etc). www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/w...

Look forward to this weekly show from The Atlantic every Friday. Have subscribed to the paper/digital magazine for many years. The Atlantic has been since 1857 😳…169 years. youtu.be/FCXKJFLhUNM?...

Love 80s music…and now I realize who does Trump’s hair 🤣 youtu.be/vCN7XaWHUyU?...

Oh the 80s and Rod’s “Infatuation” - good song and good times. However , probably called stalking today 😐. youtu.be/m1jVrXo_r6Q?...

Trade policy as middle school cafeteria politics: You can shake kids for quarters… until they decide you don’t get a seat at their table. Then the “tough guy” is just eating alone with mystery meat.

Blame it on Trump…all that “day one” talk should swing both ways. apnews.com/article/amaz...

"The Trump administration is making a tactical retreat in the hopes of salvaging its larger strategic goals."

But hey, Melania “earns” $40M from Bezos… From WSJ: Amazon said it would cut around 16,000 corporate employees, the latest step in the technology giant’s efforts to slim down its workforce.

I guess Usha got JD off* the couch for at least one night? * Or maybe insert “on” 🤢

Excellent Tim Miller. A reshuffle of the faces in charge, and one guy leaving isn't even the beginning of being enough. We need ICE and CPB out of Minnesota. And we need fundamental changes in the behavior of ICE everywhere. youtu.be/2bhSngpnSxQ?...

ALERT: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is facing internal scrutiny within the Trump administration in the aftermath of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis www.cbsnews.com/news/kristi-...

Trump always chickens out, as long as we keep the public pressure up joycevance.substack.com/p/alex-pretti

"That thing that makes old people forget stuff - what do they call it? Well, I don't have it. Now, who was that lady who gave me the Nobel again?" Trump, 79, Makes Awkward Mental Gaffe While Bragging About His Brain www.yahoo.com/news/article...

After seeing Bovino walking around in tactical gear cosplaying as a tough guy, it’s hard to imagine why Hegseth hasn’t worn this outfit instead of his snappy suit with flag pocket square.

Wow. Real leadership.

🚨 Videos destroy Kristi Noem & Stephen Miller's "domestic terrorist" lies. @sykescharlie.bsky.social Is this the breaking point?

Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling on ICE: "They are an undisciplined militia and the leadership is awful...This is not policing and it's not military service. It's something dangerously undefined."

To every Republican coward who is watching this and saying nothing, know this — silence is complicity. And when history looks back on this moment, your names will be included on the list of how it was allowed to happen.

@mattklewis.bsky.social and @sykescharlie.bsky.social: Wonder what this person would have said about constitutional rights of free speech, protest, assembly and concealed carry? I guess the surgeon also alters the inside - intelligence, soul and character.

This sums it up.

Les Mis is an emotionally stirring performance…saw it for the 5th time earlier in the week. Unfortunately, this song took me to angry thoughts of my own country. youtu.be/K5PzJhU8iI0?...

ICE is the second infectious disease to ravage our country on Donald Trump’s watch.

AO upset alert: J. Sinner dealing with major cramps.

@timmiller.bsky.social had the best pod for me today. Had on Mike Murphy from the “Hacks on Tap” podcast (Murphy, @jheil.bsky.social and David Axelrod). Both never Trumpers. Chef’s kiss to Tim on today’s outtake music (love a little Sex Pistols “God Save the Queen” 😉). youtu.be/hNEprzaiAOA?...

Doesn’t matter where Trump is - DC, Davos, etc - he is the “turd in the punch bowl.”

I’m sure Seth and his writers would like to write about some other deranged idiot…can Seth really handle this “material” for another three years without comedic PTSD? youtu.be/r5EL_cmM7YY?...

@anneapplebaum.bsky.social interview with Times News. She studies, writes and speaks about autocratic regimes around the world. Unfortunately she spends her time these days talking about the orange-autocrat in OUR COUNTRY 🤬. youtu.be/CsxAShq9MYc?...

@timmiller.bsky.social pod with Wright Thompson - author of The Barn. Definitely worth a listen on this day and in these times. youtu.be/ZAsElygZ2SU?...

😞😞😞

@jheil.bsky.social has a grounded and sane conversation with Jason Furman about the economy…worth the time 👍. Jason knows his stuff - and I forgot that Jon used to write for The Economist 😳. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Whole clip is great…but at least enjoy the end showing many ICE officers falling on ice and just being un-athletic fat fucks. youtu.be/701cQ4-K0Tc?...

Seth’s bit on ICE - equally hilarious, pathetic, scary…but not shocking when “mall cops” get guns. youtu.be/lu_YCM7UH7c?...

Trump: “That’s whole milk with a W” Sounds like he had something else on his depraved, addled and demented mind? Maybe bending over for Putin has “stained” his brain. youtu.be/A5uKA_xiJq8?...
