* US Companies Announce Most Job Cuts for Any January Since 2009 @bloomberg.com

I'm no PhD economist, but did a massive, cross-sector tax hike on consumer goods and industrial precursors make doing business in the US more expensive or less expensive? Explain it to me like I'm Peter Navarro, Howard Lutnick, or Scott Bessent.

Somebody please check on Clarence Beeks and the Duke brothers.

“We didn’t just murder American citizens, we’re also very good at murdering foreigners on boats.”

Ted Cruz literally said “let’s stop attacking pedophiles” on the Senate floor — then hid behind “verbal slip.” If any Democrat @senatedemocrats.bsky.social said that, Fox would demand resignations by sundown. Hypocrisy isn’t a bug in MAGA. It’s the operating system. 🔥

Zack Polanski, "Palantir.. £240 million contract last month" "That was lobbied by Global Counsel which is Peter Mandelson's lobbying group" "The idea that a defence company from the US has its fingerprints all over our healthcare system, alongside Peter Mandelson"

Gestapos opened fire, striking Martinez 5 times in the arm, chest & both legs 1 gestapo had body cam ... Martinez has said in court that it shows an officer shouting "do something b--" The gestapo who shot her, in a group text: "I fired 5 rounds & she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys."

i think people should consider the extent to which bannon, a known bullshit artist, knows that you will see this and panic. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Are any of these Dem Senators yours? DUCKWORTH DURBIN HASSAN KAINE KELLY SHAHEEN WHITEHOUSE They just voted in an election-denying Trump pick to a LIFETIME job as Federal Judge. WTF 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 thealaskacurrent.com/2025/12/15/s...

I talked to a woman who quit an AUSA job recently. She was asked by main DOJ to dismiss a Medicare fraud prosecution because the defendant was the daughter of a girlfriend of a MAGA figure.

Shitbag propaganda account:

So Barri Weiss, Epstein pal, is staffing CBS News with all the other Epstein pals? Cool cool cool.

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

our government used a Blackhawk helicopter in a major American city, detained children and zip-tied U.S. citizens all to target... squatters and the alleged Tren de Aragua presence? "It was a brutal lie against the American public." www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Homan: "I said back in March of this year [sic] that if the hateful rhetoric didn't stop I was afraid there would be bloodshed. And there has been."

ICE violently detain a deaf teenager—accuse him of "not listening" to their orders. "They thought I was stupid—but NO!" he told rally. "They shrugged at me, they didn't care because I'm deaf." Agents did not provide sign language interpreter—then denied him access to bathroom. Los Angeles, CA

The George Will Rule Demonstrated Again: document discovery in litigation surrounding the DHS midnight raid on a Chicago apartment building establishes beyond any doubt that every claim DHS made about Tren de Aragua in order to justify the raid was a simple lie, known to them to be a lie.

Add another one to the stack of DHS lies.

“It isn’t a crime to eat dead vulvas with Ed Gein.” Todd Blanche

The SAVE Act won't help America's elections. Quite the opposite. The facts: over 20 million Americans don't have access to those documents and nearly 50% of Americans don't have a passport.

“It’s not a crime when Ghislaine Maxwell directs the camera on a kid getting waterboarded with island champagne although an email chain says she loved the “artistic angle,” called it her directorial debut, Oscar bait for the elite.” Todd Blanche

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

It's going to get much worse. newrepublic.com/post/206088/...

The GOP’s new Voter Suppression bill, the so-called “SAVE Act,” would disenfranchise many of the 69 million women who took their husbands’ last names, as explained in my summary. It proposes *no penalties* for erroneous voter purges but potential *prison time* for erroneous registrations. WTF?! 1/

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

Tulsi called Donald after the raid and put him on speaker phone with the FBI agents conducting the active investigation. You bet it was coordinated.

Reminder: Palantir sells AI tools that help law enforcement agencies like ICE analyze massive amounts of personal data. It's a big reason why it is quickly becoming the most dangerous corporation in America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_VwyhErd88

They're building concentration camps. They got billions from the billionaire bill. It aint just gonna be us brown people in them. newrepublic.com/article/2060...

INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.

THIS👇should not be happening!!!

LRADs were built for war, now aimed at civilians. These devices can cause permanent hearing damage in seconds. Know what you are facing. Protect your body. Demand accountability when force is turned on the public. Stay informed. Follow @saveamericamvmt.bsky.social  for more.

They invited this guy and not Nick Shirley because Shirley’s recent interviews showed he’s very likely illiterate

Americans recoil at the idea of "state-owned media," but treating the news as just another free market commodity is part of what led us to this moment. It leaves newsrooms open to (and closed at) the whims of their - often wealthy - private owners.

Remember last year when the absolute incompetents that run the Washington Post set a completely unrealistic goal of 200 million paid subscribers? Who wants to wager on whether they lost their jobs today? www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/b...

This is an absolute threat. “You’re not going to stop ICE. You’re not going to stop Border Patrol.” Said with the cool casual tone of a sociopath.

shit like this is reason enough to never buy into myths of american exceptionalism. we're literally gearing up to traffick humans through a network of warehouse in exurban areas like any other backwater shithole country.

Update re: Chicagoan Marimar Martinez's motion to have material from her now-dropped criminal case released to the public - District Judge Georgia Alexakis has reset a hearing on the motion from this afternoon to Friday morning; granting the govt's motion to file its response brief instanter.

They want a fleet of servants.

Another round of dark headlines this am. @wsj.com @financialtimes.com @nytimes.com

ok but steak n shake is using beef tallow to fry its fries now so its basically a wash

It’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.

Come and take a tour of the camps everyone joked about before the election

Remarkable: Trump's planned migrant prison camps are hitting deep resistance in red areas. In Virginia's partly rural Hanover (+26 Trump) opposition is intense. GOP leaders in other states are opposed. Voters are rejecting mass deportations big time. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2060...

Steve Bannon, "We're gonna have ICE surround the polls...We'll never again allow an election to be stolen."
