"If you are angry, if you are outraged, if you are absolutely beside yourself about what Donald Trump is doing to our country right now, you are far from alone."

And there it is. All your fault, Minnesota, that there will be no midterm elections....

AOC: They are sending ICE into the streets. They’re invading other countries. They are tweeting crazy shit. But what they’re not doing is lowering the price of groceries…

Frost: People should know that them cutting your healthcare, them cutting nutritional assistance, SNAP benefits, all this stuff—they're cutting that from working people so they can give ICE money to go terrorize our communities.

Sleuths both amateur and professional have pored over videos of Renee Good’s shooting by an ICE officer to figure out what really transpired. “But at the core of the tragedy is a larger truth: None of this needed to happen,” @dgraham.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily.

Murphy: The United States Congress should not fund a Department of Homeland Security that is not obeying the laws of the United States of America

“The President of the United States is a criminal. He’s not just a convicted criminal. He should have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th. He is running the government like a mob operation.“

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Trump is showing symptoms of an addiction to power, evident in his compulsion to escalate claims of dominion over domestic and international adversaries. The size and scope of Trump’s targets for subjugation are spiraling ever upward,” Thomas Edsall writes.

Ansari: I think ICE is completely out of control, and there should be no more funding given to ICE. The funding that's already has been given to them through the big ugly bill should be stripped entirely

Gallego: "What type of man decides to walk around with a phone camera & at same time tries to make life & death decisions, then decides to pump one bullet that may have been forward-facing, but clearly the other 2 were on the side. Who is he? Clearly not someone who should be in law enforcement."

The Civil Right Division has become an absolute joke. The only people whose rights are protected are ICE agents. www.ms.now/news/doj-civ...

"The veteran said he saw volunteering as an ICE observer as another way of serving his country. 'It’s the most American thing to do: not to be scared of people trying to scare you... This is a pivotal moment we’ll be asked about by our kids, "Where were you?" www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

“To settle this, it would be great if the White House would release the case files and any FBI recordings of Tom Homan’s meetings with undercover agents posing as businessmen...” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

🔥 @markruffalo.bsky.social : “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered... stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”

Rest in peace.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/live... At this point (really ever), why would we believe anything they say. They are serial liars and propagandists. Gaslighting, generalizations, obfuscation, quoting out of context, you name it, they do it.

www.dailykos.com/stories/2026... As a peace officer, I would have ended up in prison if I'd shot someone in a moving vehicle because they 'did not respect me', or if my life was not in immediate jeopardy from the vehicle, which it clearly was not in this case. And there is no 'absolute immunity.'

We’ve now sent over 10,000 letters to Congress demanding they impeach Kristi Noem! Have you sent one yet today?

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis blasts Trump for weaponizing the DOJ against Jerome Powell and the Fed: "It is now the independence and credibility of the Department of Justice that are in question."

www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/b... Trump is attempting to demolish the very foundation of our economy (along with many other keystones essential to our fundamental freedoms and well being).

ICE Drones coming to a city near you.

Anti-ICE protests held across U.S. on Saturday after fatal shooting. "People gathered in Minneapolis on Saturday night despite bitterly cold weather, while anti-ICE protests also took place elsewhere in the US, including in Austin, Seattle, New York and Los Angeles." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Powell said the investigation is a result of the Federal Reserve refusing to adhere to the President’s preferences on sharply slashing interest rates.

WATCH— @niallstanage.bsky.social : “It’s surely better for 🇺🇸 democracy that people protest a government agent shooting someone in the head than to be docile or acquiescent to those kinds of actions.”

“If it affects NATO, it affects NATO. They need us more than we need them.” Trump says Greenland should take a deal he admits he hasn’t offered, makes it clear he does not care if attacking Greenland ends NATO. Again: ending NATO is a Putin goal. That is no coincidence.

UPDATE: Rep. @aftynbehn.bsky.social says she will NOT run for Congress again, instead running for her state house seat She says violent rape and death threats during her campaign played a part in her decision (as Trump supporters attacked her constantly)

Thank you to The Tennessee Holler for covering what’s happening when much of the media isn’t. They shared video showing a door being kicked in by ICE agents and agents refusing to produce a warrant when asked. Guns drawn and kids in the house.

This regime is out of control.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... “Begging credit card companies to play nice is a joke. I said a year ago if Trump was serious I’d work to pass a bill to cap rates." Trump doesn’t care about affordability. Americans know a fraud when they see one.” ___Elizabeth Warren

“According to the most optimistic projections, simply restoring Venezuela’s production to its previous peak would require a decade and $100 billion of investment; more conservative estimates put the numbers closer to 15 years and $200 billion.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The U.S. under Trump is dark, aggressive, and lawless. It has become.a predator nation. This period of our history will eventually be judged, and the verdict will be unforgiving..Justice matters more than injustice..I have a.hope that the moral arc of the universe will..bend that way. Peter Wehner

I differed with Ronald Regan on almost everything but he did reject "realpolitik—a pragmatic, power-based approach to foreign policy that downplays morality and ethics." Trump has no such druthers, brutality, his or others, does not bother him in the least. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

America really does have a five‑alarm fire in the White House: a president who openly says the only authority that can stop him is “my own morality. My own mind,” while standing on a record of criminal convictions, financial scams, and armed resource grabs abroad

“Amanda Dory, at the time the acting undersecretary of defense for policy, argued that engagement with allies “… is foundational to our approach to the Arctic.” She saluted…highly capable allies” including Denmark” Trump’s bellicose stanch undermines this. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Tonight Minnesotans stood together to honor the life of Renee Nicole Good.

SCARBOROUGH: “There is no ambiguity… Kristi Noem got out as quickly as she could without the facts and lied to the American people.”

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

On the 5th anniversary of January 6th, Republican speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, has yet to install the plaque at the Capitol as Congress required by law in honor of the officers who responded to the January 6th attack. What a despicable act of omission. Shame on him!

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Jan. 6 was shocking. That Trump left the scene of the crime to return to power is a little less so,” our columnist Jamelle Bouie writes.

Five years ago today, Donald Trump incited a violent insurrection to overturn the results of a free and fair election he lost. Calling it anything else is a lie. (1/2)
