🇪🇺🇫🇮🇺🇦The former Prime Minister of Finland, Sanna Marin, explains that the only way the west can avoid decades of war with Russia is to assure that Ukraine pushes Russia completely out of Ukrainian territory, including Crimea.

🇺🇸❗️“Putin is made of the same stuff as terrorists around the world,” — Republican Senator Wicker, chairman of the Armed Services Committee. He gave a speech the day after Trump’s statement that it was Zelensky who was hindering peace.

I’ll say again, In IRQ & AFG, our own troops would render aid to & assist in medevac of enemies who had just tried to kill them in a firefight. They treated them better than ICE treats fellow citizens. That’s what being professional & supporting the rule of law looks like.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov This funding needs to END. Stop voting with fascists.

Yes but that’s only close to half of their total funding. The rest would come from these appropriations.

Right now, Congress is working on an appropriations bill to fund these guys

US Senator Roger Wicker: Putin is unrepentant.He’s ever,&will always be,the KGB agent. He’s a dictator with decades of bloodshed on his hands.He's the biggest thief in the history of the world,a war criminal who should be behind bars at this moment. And, of course,Putin is a liar.

Ukraine’s DBR arrested a platoon commander in Donetsk for illegal arms sales. He tried to trade a MANPADS for a drone and sell two machine guns. At his home, agents found 549 drones. He faces prosecution for weapons trafficking. #Ukraine

❗️Zelenskyy and Czech President Petr Pavel honored the memory of fallen Ukrainian defenders

❗️👀 Russia was preparing drone-bomber attacks on Ukrainian military personnel in Odesa, recruiting local residents for the purpose, - SBU Ukrainian counterintelligence acted in advance and detained two agents of the Russian military intelligence on the eve of the planned launch of the drone.

🤬 Russians attack postal vehicle in Sumy Oblast and post office in Zaporizhzhia Oblast

Ukrainian Defenders destroyed several warehouses of Atlant Aero plant in Taganrog, Russia. Combat drones and their parts were produced there. Glory!

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

🚨BREAKING: Republicans are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to step in and block California’s voter-approved congressional map after a federal court firmly rejected their challenge. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

For once, the bureaucracy works for us instead of against us. Well done!

A hotel housekeeper in Bloomington had to clean their rooms and was detained the next day.

This is genuinely psychotic.

Today, Donald Trump--the president of the United States and a man with a history of election subversion--said: "We shouldn’t even have an election" in 2026. While legacy media has largely ignored this story, Democracy Docket has covered it from multiple angles. Support its work. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Pictured: Someone who actually won a Nobel Peace Prize

What an international embarrassment: Trump taking a non-transferable peace prize as a bribe, that came to him ironically by virtue of his military coup. What a fool!

I think it’s basically time to retire the peace prize because it really is meaningless at this point. Another 100+ year-old tradition cheapened, wrecked, and discredited by the gauche garish gangster.

I thought he did away with DEI because he wanted a “merit based society”? He didn’t want anyone getting something they hadn’t earned? Yet here he is getting a Nobel Peace Prize after bribing Maria Corina Machado with the Venezuelan presidency.

A fair system requires shared rules and shared consequences. When lawmakers write laws they never have to follow, and enforcers face no accountability, justice stops being blind. It becomes selective. Power without consequence isn’t leadership—it’s privilege protected by authority.

This evening Democracy Docket sent out to subscriber and members my reaction to Trump’s call to cancel elections and why this must be an immediate wake-up call. To make sure you receive my analysis and support independent media, sign-up now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Let’s see every “pro life” person condemn this action by ICE. They deployed tear gas at a car full of children. A 6 month old ended up in the hospital. If you’re not speaking out against this, you’re not pro-life.

NEW: A federal judge today blasted Secretaries Noem and Rubio, saying they led an 'unconstitutional conspiracy' to violate the free speech of foreign students with pro-Palestinian views. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social @hassankanu.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Well damn, apparently Verizon is down again! Phone is ‘SOS’ mode only. Verizon do better, fix the problem.

Here’s how a President with integrity handles the felon wannabe dictator that lies. thehill.com/policy/inter...

of course

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: ICE Kills Another Person, This Time in Texas; White House Has Not Yet Said Whether Choking a Detainee to Death Is "Following [ICE] Training"

Colorado SoS Jen Griswold (D) urged Gov. Jared Polis (D) to avoid granting clemency to imprisoned election denier Tina Peters after he signaled the possibility of doing so to end Trump’s retribution campaign against the state.

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Republican-Appointed Federal Judge Rules That Kristi Noem and Marco Rubio "Illegally Conspired" to Arrest and Cage People Exercising Their First Amendment Rights—and Notes Rubio As Highest-Ranking U.S. Official Ever to Run Such a Conspiracy

Is he capable of making any situation about anything or anyone other than himself? The man is 💯 psychotic.

❗️Venezuelan opposition leader Machado stated that she gave Trump her Nobel Peace Prize medal. According to her, this was done "in recognition of his unique commitment to our freedom."

JUST IN: U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis will preside over a lawsuit filed by Illinois and Chicago this week against the Trump administration challenging Operation Midway Blitz. Ellis takes over after granting a motion for reassignment.

Last year, 32 people died in ICE custody, exceeding any yearly total since 2004—including the pandemic years. ProPublica found that at least 170 American citizens have been caught in ICE dragnets and spent time in detention.

Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen. Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night. Any one of us could be the next to be brutalized by ICE for speaking out. Authoritarianism hurts all of us.
