Allowing swing-district Democrats to vote for DHS funding so as not to look "anti-law enforcement" feeds into the false narrative that ICE is enforcing laws rather than breaking them. It is an organized crime syndicate. prospect.org/2026/01/21/j...

Gym Jordan just said the American people elected Trump twice. That means 2020 wasn't stolen (which we already knew)

@bluestein.bsky.social Gov Kemp's family didn't "go through Hell" while in the mansion. He COULD have made life safer and healthier for Georgians but chose not too.

The biggest obstacle we face as a society in getting people to accept reality about Trump is that it requires people to face reality about themselves and about ourselves as a society.

I honestly thought the war against Denmark would come before the war against Minnesota

800.392.3673 is the phone number to customer service for Ford Motor Company. I called earlier this morning asking that they bring back TJ Saluba. They shouldn't invite convicted felons/sex abusers who shelter other felons and abusers, as Ford's special guests.

Nothing says I respect American workers and unions like this.

The president said "Fuck you" to a citizen and only the citizen will face any consequences

@ms.now @nicollewallace.bsky.social Why are reporters required to clean up any profanity a person used while being paid with taxpayer dollars while they are “working?” People need to hear and see how they behave on the clock. They said it, so report it exactly.

@ajc.com Add a ticker on the front page to always report the egregious & illegal actions of the White House and its agencies. Number of citizens murdered or injured by ICE. Days of defying required release of the Epstein files. These should be front page every single day. Don't bury what matters.

Rep. Wesley Hunt (TX-R): "The bottom line is this: when a federal officer gives you instructions, you abide by them and then you get to keep you life" The Right went from Don't Tread on Me to Comply or Die in 12 months.

"This is not hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is when someone holds to a set of values but applies them selectively. what we are seeing is a worldview for which the only value is the domination of enemies. There is a name for that. It is fascism."

@ajc.com A better headline would be “Unarmed U.S. citizen killed by ICE officer in Minn.”

Just wondering since Hilton Hotels stomped on the Minneapolis locations who refused rooms to ICE agents how, they feel about that now?

@barbmcquade.bsky.social I respect your aversion to profanity. But today, I think Mayor Jacob Frey used profanity in an appropriate manner.

I am not retiring this shirt any time soon.

@weissmann.substack.com In this week's "Main Justice" you said "this isn't America" about ICE facilities. I disagree. This IS America. We elected cruel people who believe in cruel treatment. This is the country we live in, like it or not

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured. Trump then pardoned the attackers. He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

You know folks are angry when they do a freeway protest in LA IN THIS RAIN NO ILLEGAL WARS WTF It's time to IMPEACH. @kittywestmeow.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social @reptedlieu.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @citizensimpeachment.com @indivisible.org

One of two protests in Atlanta this afternoon. I was told there is one in the works for tomorrow at Piedmont Park. #nowar #Venezuela #nokings #ImpeachTrump

The cynics think today's attack on Venezuela is staged and transactional. Maduro is allied with Putin, but in 2019 Putin offered Trump a swap: Russia cedes Venezuela and gets Ukraine. (See Fiona Hill's testimony in Trump's first impeachment trial, h/t @davetroy.com). Even Maduro may be in on it. 2/

we are going to run Venezula?

Trump sounds awful. Now he is off script?

When Trump announces "got him" from his gilded private social club, remember that last month he pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was convicted in our courts, on drug charges Trump isn't the "America First" president, unless you count the white "Christian" Nationalism.

So not a meeting. A spectacle.

Is anyone else wondering what stunt Trump will pull on January 6th since he is in office now? Will he appear at the Capitol and declare ultimate victory and retribution? Executive Order demanding it be a holiday? I can hear the "Five years ago there was a huuuuge injustice...." screed.

@nytimes.com Honestly-call it what it is!

@ajc.com Get ready for Jan 1. Your subscribers are chasing ourselves in circles because your platform to switch to all digital is a mess.

🚨 #GVerse #BreakingNews JD Vance attacks Jasmine Crockett: “She wants to be a senator, though her street girl persona is about as real as her nails." The guy who built his brand on a fake hillbilly sob story and has three different names - wants to lecture us on authenticity.

This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release. AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care: I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.  Your health care is still legal and protected.  I'll always fight for you.

Is @andrewrsorkin.bsky.social’s book “1929” really a good read for people who aren’t econ/finance geeks? I slogged through “Shadow Docket” and should have quit. Too lawyerly. Lesson learned.

Martina Navratilova on speaking up against Trump: "What happened to our American humanity? Compassion? Caring about the world? Caring about your neighbor?…Not doing anything is just not an option. Being quiet is just not an option."

Quote from Ryan Goodman, former legal counsel for the Pentagon. This needs to be a central focus of the discussion.

So the mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew was just picked up by ICE.

This is how you do it

MTG resignation speech sounds like a political campaign send off. she is going to be a very strong thorn in Trump's side going forward. Another likely miscalculation on his part and proof of his lame duck status-- power play that might have worked in Trump 1.0.

I guess one way to distract people from your friendship with a sex criminal is to claim that you are friends with a political murderer.

If you have any doubts about the state of our country, Senator Murphy makes if very clear.

Possibilities. Trump is 1. covering up his own sexual misconduct/rape/sex trafficking. 2. covering up knowledge of Epstein's crimes. 3. covering up his own financial shenanigans with Epstein. 4. covering up for powerful people in his family/friends/international allies. 5. All of the above.

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally. He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough. Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. He was revered.

Larry Summers is out at the NY Times, where he was a contributing writer. From a Times spokesperson: “Lawrence Summers was a contributing writer for New York Times Opinion on a 1-year contract beginning in January, 2025. We do not intend to renew this contract. We thank him for his contributions.”

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Resign tonight. Clearly your district has no representation.

@aoc.bsky.social PLEASE primary Schumer. The country can’t take another day of his caving.

@ossoff.bsky.social @warnock.senate.gov DO NOT CAVE! We need subsidies voted on and passed. The Trumplicans won't keep a promise.
