Checking in on Trump’s trade war apnews.com/article/chin...

"He is gift-wrapping the world economy for China at the exact same moment that he is stepping up to the brink of war with our allies with the supposed aim of restraining China." Only Trump could do that.

Trump tells Norway the reason he's stealing Greenland is that he's so butthurt they didn't give him the Nobel Peace Prize. The Norwegian government has no control over the decisions of the Nobel Committee. Also, Greenland is a province of Denmark, not Norway. 🙄 www.forbes.com/sites/siladi...

FWIW today: There has NEVER been a Contract, Promise, Treaty, Law, or Oath, Trump wasn't willing to break. When someone says to Trump, 'my Word is my Bond'. Trump sees SUCKER emblazoned on their forehead.

Yep, when we paid Denmark $25 million in gold coins to buy St. Thomas, St. John & St. Croix, we agreed they controlled Greenland. "In proceeding this day to the signature of the Convention respecting the cession of the Danish West-Indian Islands to the United States of America, the undersigned 1/2

A woman left a comment on Facebook criticizing the Mayor of Miami Beach,. The Mayor of Miami Beach then sent the cops to her home.

🔨 YOUNGKIN’S LEGACY: DELETED. Gov. Spanberger didn't waste a second. On Day 1, she signed 10 executive orders that started to dismantle the GOP agenda in Virginia. She voided the police/ICE mandate and brought back DEI. See her moves here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/kristi-noe...

“I just had a conversation with my dad who has been a citizen here for 30+ years - he doesn’t feel welcome or safe here in 🇺🇸 anymore. He’s going back to Chile.” (H/T @voteinorout.bsky.social )

some good ideas here...

ICYMI — In negative degrees weather they took a LEGAL naturalized citizen out in his underwear, after trashing his house. They released him an hour later. The cruelty is the point. (From @thejfreakinc.bsky.social )

While walking along the rocky shore, I found the world’s most poisonous crab. It’s safe as long as you don’t eat it, so I carefully admired its stunning metallic beauty 🦀✨️

@lincolnproject.us January 2026, around 26 Republican U.S. House Reps & 5 Republican Senators, have announced they are not running for reelection in 2026. Switch to Dem party for the rest of your terms and Stop the Madness. Go down in the History books as a Washington, not as a Benedict Arnold.

I love this point in Margaret Sullivan's newsletter: "There should be far less emphasis on 'we don’t want to look biased,' and far more on 'how well are we doing our jobs of getting across the truth?'” It's not biased to call out authoritarian liars. 1/2🧵 @sulliview.bsky.social

We are now 31 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara shook as he watched a video of ICE officers pulling a woman — a U.S. citizen on her way to a medical appointment — from her car. Her desperate plea to the ICE agents before they grabbed her: “I am an autistic disabled person and I'm trying to go to the doctor.”

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

This is where we are at. For what? For nothing. For stupidity. For ego. For an old, demented malignant narcissist who expects the world to jump at his every whim. Well, when you follow international news you can see that the world has pretty much had enough of his bullshit.

“Leave Greenland alone!” (H/T @rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social )

Kinda hard to gaslight us into believing they’re actually supportive of LEGAL immigration when they’re targeting LEGAL immigrants. www.twincities.com/2026/01/18/5...

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Trump just got a major award.

How do like this MAGA farmers? Breaking with the U.S., Canada has struck a major deal with China: Ottawa will cut its 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles in exchange for dramatically lower tariffs on Canadian farm products.

Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill: "There is not one person in New Jersey that wakes up in the morning and says 'I hope today's the day that the president dumps billions of dollars into buying Greenland while my grocery store costs continue to go up.'"

It’s time for the Supreme Court to finally issue a ruling on tariffs. The Court has already recognized that tariffs function as a tax on the American people. A president cannot unilaterally impose new taxes on American citizens that power belongs to Congress alone.

It’s hard to overstate the destructive impact of Trump invading and taking over Greenland. It would end NATO, destroy our relationships with virtually every NATO country and lead to the further unraveling of the many economic benefits that now accrue to the US as the world abandons Trump’s America.

Stop saying Trump is threatening tariffs on European countries. He’s threatening tariffs on European *products* – but American companies and people will pay the Trump tax.

Kristi Noem's thugs are demanding to know the identities of people on the street because of their accents and the color of their skin. Yet she wants anonymity for the ICE agent who wantonly murdered Renee Good.

Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill: "The president said he was going to use our American cities for practice for our troops. I think he is trying to incite the protesters…The protesters have been peaceful, but ICE hasn't been. They're assaulting people on the street."

True story🤔...

Time For A New, Blue Generation Of New Leaders, Especially Rational Folks AND Women.......

Watch our latest event held yesterday, a lecture by historian Jack Kelly on his new book, "Tom Paine’s War: The Words That Rallied a Nation and the Founder for Our Time". www.youtube.com/watch?v=izrO...

Pick one, plain and simple🤔...

In 1938, South African museum curator Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer discovered a coelacanth - a fish that was believed to have been extinct for 65 million years.

BRENNAN: You said 'occupying force.' Don't you think that's a bit much? FREY: When you have 3,000 ICE agents and CBP come to your city, when you've got this supposed threat of 1,500 military coming to your city, that's very much what it feels like

Have you noticed that undocumented immigrants commit less crime than Trump?

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

Just saw it noted that 100% of the world’s Ozempic supply comes from Denmark, as does a somewhat smaller percentage of the world’s insulin. Almost as if it’s really quite a small world!
