In the 1850s the Know-Nothing Party had considerable political support and was anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic. It was a coalition that fell apart before. And it will fall apart again.

SCOOP: Nursing home companies donated $4.8M to Trump's super PAC in Aug-Sept. Their executives landed a lunch in Aug. with Trump at his NoVa golf club where they asked him to revoke a rule to increase staffing to prevent patient neglect. His administration revoked the rule a few months later.

14 of the 18 Team USA Figure Skaters are immigrants or children of immigrants. Bates, Chock, Glenn & O'Shea are the children of American born parents One is an out queer woman One is a descendant of Native Hawaiians One is the son of a couple killed as a result of the Trump DoD's negligence!

They've stopped sleeping because whenever they close their eyes they are haunted by this

I need an interview with this person immediately what is it like to be the one and only Londoner to go see the Melania movie? and why?

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Greg Bovino sadly filling one steamer trunk after another with elaborate fashy overcoats, the teargas canisters he always has bouncing around on him like labubus, and dozens of "chest-belts." They will be shipped ahead of him as he prepares to return to his home, which is a men's size 10 boot.

I would like to know how my prior colleagues, who have chosen to pursue leadership positions under this charlatan, justify ordering agents to break their oaths of office and open investigations on people simply for exercising their legal rights. Good luck gazing in the mirror when this is all over.

The suspension comes after he responded to several users criticizing him over his unverified claims that Alex Pretti was preparing to kill federal agents.

The terror that ICE and CBP have inflicted on the children of the Twin Cities is, by itself, a crime of scandalous proportions that will forever stain this country's moral fabric, and all those responsible should never know another day of peace. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

This is absolutely insane. It will cause all sorts of havoc.

Will while I was eating breakfast this morning. His paw.💕💕💕

Just a little scrabbledy sketch to keep spirits up. I also learned today that a group of chickadees is called a ‘banditry’ and how cute is that?

Leavitt throws Bovino under the bus: "Mr Bovino is a wonderful man and he's a great professional. He is very much going to continue CBP throughout and across the country. Mr Homan will be the main point of contact on the ground in Minneapolis"

Lindsey Halligan is no longer employed by the Justice Department, per @ryanjreilly.com: www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

There's something very video game brained about this. Like they can't imagine that the opposition is capable of doing organizing that doesn't neatly conform to a pre-written narrative designed to ultimately let them win.

I never want to hear another Republican complain about the cost of government again.

Yeah, it’s a damn invasion in Minneapolis.

"I don't want anyone to die, but ... " The transportation secretary is also describing a version of events that is purely imaginary and is contradicted by multiple videos of the shooting.

Alabama just got Braves vanity license plates and mine came in the mail the other day @hesocrazy.bsky.social @santorinidreaming.bsky.social @billzuka.bsky.social @dirkwilbury.bsky.social Pitchers and catchers report two weeks from tomorrow!

Following the Kent State massacre in May 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 58% of Americans thought the shootings were justified. The night *before* the killings, Ohio's GOP governor described the student protesters this way: "They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America."

I want America back. Accountability starts with the midterms in November. Until then we have to continue protesting what this administration is doing. www.msn.com/en-us/sports...

Yes.

Wolfers: This is the most interventionist government of my lifetime. It’s the least conservative government of my lifetime. When you are the richest country in the world, maybe you are not the ones who should be tearing down your existing institutions. But that’s exactly what this president is doing

AND IMPEACH AND REMOVE. We need to clamor for that even if the votes aren't there—yet.

A thread of MAGA protesting with guns and not getting murdered for it... Arizona, November 2020

There is a child across the street who was out shoveling snow & I was kind of impressed, until I realized she was dumping the snow from her sidewalk *onto the house's front porch and stairs* to construct a massive sled run from the front door. Now I am like "get that kid an engineering scholarship"

Things are so bad that the Minnesota prison system has had to launch a website specifically to combat DHS lies. The first major release from DOC officials suggests Gregory Bovino outright lied about the target of the Border Patrol operation during which agents shot and killed Alex Pretti.

Truth.

1. Our country was founded on standing up to tyranny. 2. Pam acting like people can’t Google where to buy a gas mask. 3. GTFOH with your stupid bullshit.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

Lucid dreaming? Thanks I'm already awake in a nightmare

This nut needs to go away.

In 2022 we gave the IRS $80 bn. When Rs took the House they made rescinding that $$ the price of funding the govt. In each funding bill enacted since, large chunks of that were pared back Ds should do that for the ICE money from OBBBA. Paring back that $$ must be a prerequisite for funding the govt

One of my oldies …

Harriet Hageman is an idiot.

I’m surprised my eyes haven’t gotten stuck from rolling them so hard at Troy Nehls lying in this Jack Smith hearing.

Listening to the Jack Smith hearing in the car. Good job by whichever Republican went after Jack Smith for “violating” mob boss Trump’s 1st amendment rights by obtaining a gag order to prevent mob boss Trump from threatening witnesses. 👏👏👏🙄

Cool cloud pattern this morning.

Rare to see discusson of the point @jamellebouie.net makes here. "Most coverage of Trump treats him as president in a functional way, even if he doesn’t perform the civic duties of the office." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/o... Rather than designing coverage for a cateory of one — the mad king...1/

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Well damn- this certainly tells the story.

And then he walks off looking around like he thinks he’s a badass.

The middle joint of my right big toe is bone on bone. This would be amazing.

It’s infuriating how many people claim to care about fictitious “child trafficking” conspiracies about trans people and Wayfair and Democrats but will miss, ignore, and distract from actual government agents kidnapping children in front of their very eyes

When the US acquired the US Virgin Islands from Denmark, it did so through a negotiated treaty and purchase with congressionally appropriated funds. It was not/not done unilaterally by the US President. And the US Secretary of State included this declaration when signing the treaty.

Hey @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social . Donald Trump is cerifiable. Just say it.

Oops, opposite is true, factory construction exploded under Biden and is now falling. *TRUMP: FACTORY CONSTRUCTION UP BY 41% fred.stlouisfed.org/series/TLMFG...

People from outside Ireland occasionally ask me, "Why is Bono, an international music titan from Ireland, not all that loved in Ireland?". The answer in its entirety is a complex one, but "He sent Dolly Parton a birthday cake and put his own name on it" goes a long way to summing it up.
