Is any Democrat besides Jamie Raskin going to talk about Trump selling pardons for millions of dollars to some of the most disgusting fraudsters and drug dealers in history? Any one of these is an impeachable offense and there are new ones almost every day. He isn’t even hiding the quid-pro-quo.

I told everyone this was their “plan” when people started talking about legislation. The plan is Trump told credit card company to lower rates by Jan 20 and that’s it. Just another stunt to fool people into thinking they’re doing something. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Kamala Harris called all of this. But y’all knew better. And now….you’re crying for someone to come save you. Fuck you.

When Fascism came to America, no one crawled on their bellies and kissed the boot more willingly than those who once defiantly shouted "Don't Tread On Me!"

It's also important to understand there could be those on SCOTUS in the Epstein files. So again, let's take a page from the GOP playbook and never forget the importance of state and local elections.

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

"There comes a point where we have to start questioning whether or not he’s actually aware of what’s happening around him & the harm he’s doing. It’s similar to historical figures like Nero or Caligula. Their madness took over & they started doing wildly destructive things. Trump is in that place."

Awful: Trump's budget for scaling up immigration detention means "we could be looking at an ICE detention system as large or even larger than the entire federal prison system." On the pod, @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social is so good on Leavitt's meltdown and ICE lunacy: newrepublic.com/article/2053...

So why did CBS News report he had internal bleeding?

The first US sale of Venezuelan crude was to a company whose senior oil trader donated to Donald Trump’s re-election campaign and attended a White House meeting with the president last week. www.ft.com/content/da74...

Kevin Hassett on Trump's 10% cap on credit card interest rates: "Our expectations is that it won't necessarily require legislation because there will be great new Trump Cards provided voluntarily by the banks."

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Whew, this new CNN poll is brutal.... 58% say first year was a failure. Net approval on key issues: - Venezuela: -16 - Immigration: -16 (was +3 in Mar) - Economy: -21 - Foreign affairs: -21 - Job approval: -22 (39-61) - Tariffs: -25 (new low) - Healthcare: -27 (new low) www.cnn.com/2026/01/16/p...

Jimmy Kimmel offers to let Trump have one of his trophies if he will pull ICE out of Minneapolis.

He dead yet 😏

Yes. ICE service is being sold to disaffected MAGA goons as an opportunity to wage a campaign of cleansing, restorative violence against Americans as an act of patriotic national service. And most normies now see that this isn't anything akin to real law enforcement. newrepublic.com/article/2052...

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.

Do any Republicans in Congress care about Trump grabbing oil from Venezuela, handing it off to his megadonors to sell on the international market to whoever, depositing the proceeds in foreign bank accounts, then spending the money however he sees fit with no input from Congress?

Finished up the Detective Agency book nook! Inspired by the extremely well-known "Detective Famous" agency. 😆

"Officers threw flash bangs and tear gas in my car. I got six kids in the car" "His wife, Destiny Jackson, told FOX 9 their 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness. She then performed CPR on her baby."

What is the end game for ICE? Terrorize one city and move to the next? How many "illegals" are they actually finding for all this effort? Seems like we should be hearing about high numbers being found but we are not because that's not what this seems to be about.

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

Today, it’s not your vote that determines whether the government brutalizes you or sends officers to your door. It’s your neighbors’ vote. If you’re ok with this happening to Minnesotans, don’t get comfortable. You won’t be exempt for long. In the end, a lawless administration comes for everyone.

no more guarantees of care for pre existing conditions

An official of the US govt praised an agent for shooting an unarmed woman in the face at point blak range.

Breaking news: An employee of El Paso County’s Office of the Medical Examiner said it is likely to classify the death of Geraldo Lunas Campos at an ICE detention center as a homicide. A detainee says he witnessed Campos being choked to death by guards.

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents. Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center. Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

Renee Good's family is accusing federal immigration officers of killing the Minneapolis mother of three as she attempted to follow agents' instructions, and have now hired the same law firm that represented George Floyd's family to press for answers and accountability.

21-year-old activist injured by ICE: I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

"ICE AGENTS VERBALLY ASSAULTED AT MN RESTAURANT"

Key point here. @nytimes.com made the editorial choice to elevate Third Way memo because it buttressed "Dems divided over Abolish ICE" story they set out to tell. And Third Way produced the memo because they knew it would get media attention from reporters looking to tell that story. It's all rotten

The Trump admin, which says it was investigating fraud in Democratic-led states, quietly shelved a massive welfare fraud investigation in Mississippi involving public funds funneled to Brett Favre and others

“I will be blind for life. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, plastic in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.” Kaden Rummler was shot in the face by Trump’s ICE goons, then dragged

Reporter: Renee Good was shot in the head and killed by an ICE Agent. Leavitt: Why was she killed? Reporter: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably Leavitt: You’re a left-wing hack. You’re not a reporter.

Stephen Miller: "With the thousands of officers that we have now in response to the incredible threats and violence in MN, there's within that an opportunity to interdict large numbers of these insurrectionists and then use them to gain insight into these networks and deliver criminal consequences."

Also FAKE ICE. Everyone beware bsky.app/profile/chri...

Dear Black people, they’re coming for us too.

Every day brings a flood of new headlines competing for our attention, but let's not lose sight: less than 1% of Epstein files have been released by the DOJ. Kevin O'leary is wrong, this still matters. Check my recent Substack article at the link in my reply.

We need to make this more explicit: The violence and civil collapse we're now seeing in Minnesota is by design. It's exactly what Trump and Stephen Miller want. MAGA is *all about* deliberately unleashing ethnic hatreds and violent antagonisms among Americans. newrepublic.com/article/2052...

They're gonna brand protesters as domestic terrorists and begin military tribunals

If America is prepping for military action against the Iranian regime for killing protestors, who is prepping for military action against the American regime for killing protestors?

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

This is the safest, most moderate course of action that offers some prospect of de-escalation. It is the only way for Democrats. Don't do it and we're on a glide path toward brutal fascist dictatorship or civil war. This isn't going to just stop on its own.

North Side ICE shooting inside a house 🤬

The Trump administration is trying to obtain information about Jewish professors, staff and students at the University of Pennsylvania – including personal emails, phone numbers and home addresses... Ominous AF.
