Younger people are embracing old-fashioned smoking—maybe because they consider it the least hazardous thing happening in their lives at the moment. on.wsj.com/4suRJ8N

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum. We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

🧵 A friend was at Roosevelt HS in MPS when it was raided today. My friend is now dealing with the effects of the tear gas that was deployed on school grounds AT DISMISSAL TIME. Bovino popped out of a car for photos while children sheltered in place. 1/ www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

There’s a video of ICE shooting a woman in the head. What else do you need to see?

Our first ad of 2026! Because politics stuck in 2006 won't meet the moment. It's time to stand up to ICE, white supremacists, and the billionaire oligarchy.

“Do you have no decency? Do you have no decency? We have someone dead in their car for no reason whatsoever... Enough. Enough is enough.” —Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz

The murdered woman's glove compartment is filled with stuffed animals.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on the ICE involved shooting: “What we’re seeing is the consequences of governance designed to generate fear, headlines, and conflict. It’s governing by reality TV, and today that recklessness cost someone their life.”

The question if a police shooting is justifiable is just 1 question to ask. 1st: this wasn’t justifiable. But for me the real question is was it inevitable. As police, we must do everything we can to avoid deadly force. Many times the suspect makes it inevitable. Not in this case

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on the ICE involved shooting: “They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly: That is bullshit.”

“To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.” —Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey

They are really hiding that unsub button because I still can't find it.

America’s top physician should defend medical science, not undermine it. www.salon.com/2026/01/07/t...

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

Tucker Carlson thinks that the deeply insidious and absolutely real globohomo plot might be at the heart of Maduro's capture. Who can say for certain??

Someone who claims to have witnessed the incident says - car was blocking ice - they told them to move - "something happened' - ICE shot into the car as it was driving away - passenger got out of the car covered away and said friend was dead There is video and I have seen it

ICE reportedly shot someone at Portland and 33/34. Mspt saying bullets, could be less lethal 20+ agents on site, MPD and ambulances responding. Helicopters overhead

TDS is the biggest load of gaslighting bullshit I've ever heard. Trump acts like a tyrant/toddler/fascist/lunatic and it's everyone else with the problem if they don't go along? Get the fuck out of here with that. It's a tactic that only works if we accept it. HE is fucked up, not us.

Iran has issued a sharp warning against what it calls hostile actions and interventionist rhetoric, vowing a “decisive and definitive” response to any aggression. The Iranian Defense Council emphasized that the country’s security, independence, and territorial integrity are red lines.

No amount of gaslighting will convince sane and rational Americans that we didn’t see what we saw on January 6, 2021. Let’s cut through some of the bullshit and lies…

.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for the violence on January 6th? McGovern: That’s offensive. What kind of sick human being would say that? I was here that day.

My thoughts today are with the security people and police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 and have been treated with such distain since by the GOP. For them and the Democratic leadership who lived through such chaos and no doubt continue to carry the scars within. We will not forget.

Cheers to that!

.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for what happened on January 6th? Lieu: The White House’s statement is batshit crazy.

Authorities at the CDC are now calling this year’s flu season “moderately severe,” with an estimated 11 million illnesses in the U.S. so far.

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.

From Joachim Lykke Who lives in Greenland.... I understand why he is outraged Aren't you ? As the whole world is watching

WATCH: "The stuff we’re playing with here is kind of the core of what starts world wars. I don’t think that’s an overstatement," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Trump's push to acquire Greenland.

@samsteindc.bsky.social: "What are they saying in private?" @rubengallego.bsky.social: "In terms of Greenland and support of our NATO alliances... and they think [Trump is being] stupid, and it's actually very dangerous to our relationship. Now, will they come out in the press and say that? No."

Trump is feeling high on his own supply.

As brutal as Nicolás Maduro is, there is no legal or Constitutional authority that allows for the United States to kidnap him at gunpoint. Sorry!

REPORTER: Do you agree with the assessment on the White House website that says the Capitol police are partly to blame for the violence that happened 5 years ago on January 6th? THUNE: “I haven’t seen what they put on their website, but the Capitol police do a great job around here.”

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller on whether or not U.S. military action against Greenland is off the table: “The United States should have Greenland as part of the United States... Nobody’s going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland.”

“But I wish you could explain to me what the hell’s going on with the mind of the public. Because we have the right policy. [Democrats] don’t. They have horrible policy.” —Trump at the House GOP retreat

"I mean, Stephen Miller running Venezuela? That guy's a moron." –Senator Mark Kelly
