Who thought it was a good idea to unleash untrained thugs and racists on the US population?

OMB Director Russ Vought initiates a sweeping audit of 13 blue states, requiring agencies to detail every federal dollar sent to Democrat-led jurisdictions. The move signals an administrative siege, leveraging fraud allegations to threaten hundreds of billions in funding.

NATO did not "stay a little back, off the front lines." Danish, British and Estonian troops served in Helmand, and Canadian forces in Kandahar - the two most dangerous Afghan provinces. Denmark, UK, Estonia & Canada suffered amongst the highest per‑capita soldier death rates when defending the US.

“We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done,” journalist Garrett Graff wrote: “A superpower is [dying by] suicide because the [Republican] Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.” Rep GOP, this is your legacy. This will be in the history books. Cowardice.

MAGA: “Just comply and you won’t get hurt!” ICE agent to passenger: “You f*cking move I’ll f*cking tase you! Get out of the f*cking car right now!” You can’t comply. They give conflicting orders on purpose. They did the same thing to Renee Good. No amount of compliance will stop fascists.

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.

Couldn't agree with George more, but in all fairness, we should also acknowledge his more positive qualities & attributes:

Reminder: Russia still controls 0/23 regional capital and special-status cities that Ukraine held at the start of the war. Zero! What a pathetic failure Russia and its supporters are desperate to hide

Danish FM Rasmussen speaks after White House meeting: "For us, ideas that would not respect the territorial of the Kingdom of Denmark and the right of self-determination of the Greenlandic people are of course totally unacceptable. We therefore still have a fundamental disagreement."

ICE Shoots Projectile and Takes Out Kid’s Eye Surgeons spent six hours removing shards of glass, plastic, and metal from his face. Unfortunately, the damage to his left eye was irreversible. Second kid in the video, shot point-blank in the face.

Ice vs. ICE. 🥴

House Speaker Mike Johnson apparently doesn’t understand how our justice system works. He said if Fed Chair Jerome Powell is innocent, “then he can prove that.” No, Mikey, he doesn’t need to prove he’s innocent. His accusers need to prove he’s guilty.

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

Subpoenaing the Fed chair in the middle of a political fight over interest rates is not normal. It’s intimidation. Jerome Powell says he won’t bend—but this sets a dangerous precedent for the independence that keeps inflation in check. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Tesla’s full 2025 data from Europe is in, and it is a total bloodbath According to registration data compiled from major European markets, Tesla saw its total volume drop from roughly 326,000 units in 2024 to just over 235,000 in 2025. That is a staggering 27.8% year-over-year decline. /1

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

You will be executed if you “get in the way” of ICE. This is the Republican Party. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I just saw this CNN interview with a witness to the Minneapolis ICE shooting, absolutely horrific. My sympathies to the American people now living in a police state, the former beacon of freedom has disappeared in hate and fascism. edition.cnn.com/2026/01/07/u...

Let's get serious here, folks. Unless/until a senior Democrat utters the words: "Over my dead body will trump do any of this bullshit," then nothing will change. In order to be a credible leader, you need to put yourself at risk, in FRONT of those whom you wish will follow you. Otherwise, nada.

Rubio sold his soul when he joined this administration. This was him in 2021:

DANISH PARLIAMENT MEMBER: “🇺🇸 had 30 bases on Greenland, why did you leave? You can resume that tomorrow without attacking a NATO ally… the rationale lacks factual foundation and doesn’t stand any logic testing.” (Unless the point is to hurt us and end NATO, a Putin/Xi goal)

Tulsi Gabbard in 2019: "The United States needs to keep our hands off Venezuela... end these destructive and wasteful regime change wars... proven to cause more problems, increase suffering, increase instability for the people in the countries where we wage these wars. In Latin America especially".

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Trump is Putin's only lifeline. If Trump started to put real pressure on Putin this war would end.

Final broadcast of ABC News Tonight for 2025. I hope every rep and senator saw it. Millions are being forced to cancel health insurance because it’s unaffordable. That pressure doesn’t stop with them; it spreads. When people drop coverage, everyone’s rates go up. Call your Rep and Senators.

Is it bad that nobody justifiably believes anything Putin says while the President of the United States believes everything he says?

Trump always has "good and very productive" calls with Putin, particularly after a huge raft of terror bombings of Ukrainians, when Vlad is in a good mood.

The Justice Department has become Trump's personal legal counsel.

I worked for DOJ. I don't think people realize how dangerous it is for the White House to takeover the daily operations of the Justice Department.

The US admin aims to protect unfair/predatory business practices and propaganda platforms of the US oligarchy in the EU. The end goal is to disunite the EU and then enslave the individual countries. It never has been about "free speech".

We condemn the scandalous US visa ban on former EU Commisioner Breton and digital activists. Protecting democracy isn’t censorship. ✋🏼 Disinformation isn’t free speech. Europe won’t take lessons from those undermining democracy and free speech. Here in Europe we set our own laws. 🇪🇺✊🏼

💀 "For the first time in a long period, the reinforcement of personnel in Russian Armed Forces does not outweigh the losses," said Colonel Andriy Biletsky. ▪️The Russians have a catastrophic situation in all major types of weapons—armored vehicles, artillery systems, etc.

He knows, he just thinks we're that stupid. Like the way they're bragging about bonds.

I hope it's clear to everyone by now that Trump's play over and over again is to yell "National Security!" and pretend as though that gives him the right to act like a dictator

Boycott CBS.

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Imagine a scenario in which, four years into a full-scale invasion, the US controlled only 20% of a country and had not occupied any regional capital city. This would be widely regarded as a major failure. That’s Russia’s situation in its war in Ukraine

In a phone interview, Peskov claimed Russia’s goal is to stop the war (it got itself bogged down in) - and even to “ensure peace in Europe” (which it has spent the last years tearing apart). You really couldn’t make it up.

The Power Shift: At the start of the war, Ukraine was absorbing blows, missiles falling on cities, limited ability to strike back. Now the balance has shifted.

"Ukraine will clash with Russia on irreconcilable terms. As long as Russism exists, it will never give up its ambitions." 1995. The prophetic words of the president of the unrecognized Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, Dzhokhar Dudayev. One year later, he would be assassinated by Russia.

What we’re seeing with the US is a systematic self-dismantling of a Western country. I’m baffled. Why? Yes, Trump is a Russian agent. He has to be. But why is everyone in his government going along with this?

Trump says that he's disappointed in Ukrainian President Zelensky, because he "isn't ready" to accept the peace proposal DonOld cooked up. Of course President Zelensky isn't going to accept any proposal that favors only Russia and screws Ukraine. That's not Peace, it's extortion.

Trump calls Somali immigrants “garbage.” His VP cheers him on. Meanwhile, families are being torn apart, asylum is being shut down, aid is being gutted, and the military is firing on survivors in the water. Cruelty is becoming national policy—silence is complicity. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

There is only one path to peace: Apply devastating sanctions that destroy the war economy of aggressor Russia; impose a total embargo. Give massive assistance to Ukrainian defenders to secure victory; liberate all occupied land and people.
