Tommy Vietor and Jon Favreau react to ICE agents fatally shooting a woman in Minneapolis and Kristi Noem's brazen lies about the tragic event.

Accountability matters. Policing should reduce confrontation and protect lives, not create unnecessary danger. When enforcement turns into escalation, everyone loses. We need leadership that prioritizes public safety over political theater. If this continues, these incidents will only increase!

AN INNOCENT AMERICAN WOMAN

MeidasTouch @meidastouch.com host Ben Meiselas @meiselasb.bsky.social reports on Donald Trump’s horrible response to the murder of a 🇺🇸US CITIZEN🇺🇸 by Trump’s ICE Gestapo Agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

DERANGED Donald Trump and Stephen Miller are pushing the United States toward war with its allies. Steve Schmidt explains the danger of their foreign aggression and the cost the next generation will be left to pay.

YOU’RE SURROUNDED…

SHE…

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey accused federal agents of “sowing chaos on our streets” and told them in no uncertain terms to “get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

It's been 5 years since a MAGA mob attacked the Capitol as Donald Trump watched on TV. Lawrence details Trump supporters Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio's "humiliating flip-flop that used to destroy politicians' careers" now that they could get what they've dreamed about: regime change in Cuba.

Well the good ol US of A returned to her roots this weekend by doing a coup in a Central American country! Ahh...just like old times, innit? Anyway 2026 is off to a rollicking start.

“Scatterbrained" describes someone forgetful, disorganized, easily distracted, and unable to focus, like a "scatterbrain," often meaning they lose things, miss appointments, or have jumbled thoughts.

It’s been five years since Donald Trump's failed coup at the U.S. Capitol, the assault on Venezuela might be just the beginning of the president's territorial aggression, and Stephen Colbert's audience size was three times bigger than Trump's when hosting The Kennedy Center Honors.

Ronny unpacks Nicolas Maduro’s abduction & 1st day in court, where he & his wife got some good couples time pleading not guilty to cocaine trafficking charges. Meanwhile, MAGA attempts to justify Trump’s intervention by downplaying the episode, citing Christianity, & downright playing the bully.

FOX News ripped Donald Trump's War Plan apart on live television. Francis Maxwell reacts.

January 6th is what happens when leaders treat democratic legitimacy as optional by telling supporters that losing is *by definition* evidence of fraud. Trump threw a lot of smoke & mirrors but ultimately his 0nly proof of fraud was always that he lost.

House Democrats reconvened the former special committee that investigated the attack to hear from witnesses and lawmakers about their experiences from that day and ongoing threats to elections.

Stephen Miller refused to answer Jake Tapper’s question about when there will be legitimate elections in Venezuela. Steve Schmidt deconstructs Miller’s fascist behavior and warns Americans that we are running out of time to stop Tyrant Trump’s fascist regime.

America’s REAL President, Stephen Miller, went on LIVE TV and proceeded to launch into a psychotic, hate fueled yelling fit for the whole world to see.

Lithwick explains how SCOTUS increasingly uses late-night, unsigned emergency orders to upend lower-court rulings, reverse longstanding precedent, and reshape OUR democracy—without transparency, reasoning, or accountability.

Tiny Handed Tyrant Trump is brazen about his aims to seize control of Venezuela's resources and demonstrate that "might is right."

MeidasTouch @meidastouch.com host Ben Meiselas @meiselasb.bsky.social reports Republican leaders like MAGA Mike Johnson and others instantly panicking over Dipsh*t Donald’s Epstein Distraction / Venezuela invasion as they return to DC.

Oopsy Daisy Donald

Ben Meiselas @meiselasb.bsky.social reports on Demented Donald’s disaster briefing with the GOP at the Kennedy Center over dancing dictators, weightlifting, beautiful soldiers & his idiotic invasion of Venezuela. Jesus…

Bill & Tom’s takes on why Jan 6 was not an endpoint, but the beginning of a new political reality: one defined by a lack of accountability with sweeping pardons, the normalization of violence, and a movement that no longer accepts elections or constitutional limits.

Though, what haunts me most is not the memory of rioters screaming for blood, but the audacity of some recalling those insurrectionists as heroes.

“if we don’t acknowledge a past wound, it stays poisoned. If we don’t right these wrongs, we don’t risk a repeat of Jan. 6. We get a Jan. 7. And an 8. And the country we are barely holding onto now will slip through our fingers.”

Five years later, January 6 still matters. Not just because of what happened—but because of what happens if we decide we’ve already heard enough. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

WHERE…

Peaceful Insurrection

WE’RE JUST LOOKING…

📌When somebody has the audacity to ask why I hate Trump so much, Jan. 6 is the first thing out of my mouth. What follows is a salty string of condemnations like his rampant bigotry & abuse, but it all begins and ends for me on that gruesome, haze-gray winter day in our Capitol five yrs ago tomorrow.

Meidas Touch @meidastouch.com covers the live shadow hearings by Democrats on January 6 as Republicans refuse to acknowledge the date and continue to cover up for Tyrant Trump’s crimes.

~The situation on the ground remains very uncertain ~Venezuela’s oil industry is in shambles ~Oil prices are too low to justify spending BILLIONS on a decades-long project that Venezuelans might kick them out of once they're on their feet-- and Trump might just get bored with.

If it was actually about the crimes Maduro has committed- well, we've got him now. Why aren't we letting Venezuelans choose their own path forward, the way We did 250 yrs ago? Because it's not about the crimes of Maduro-- it's about the GREED and megalomania of Trump & his allies.

VENEZUELA INVASION: WHAT TRUMP IS REALLY UP TO. Guests tonight are Glenn Kirschner, Rep.Joaquin Castro and Retired US Army Gen. Mark Hertling.

Lawrence explains why TINY Handed Tyrant Trump and his sycophantic sidekick, LITTLE Marco Rubio, violated the law in their invasion of Venezuela and why it all could have been done in pursuit of Rubio's dream to overthrow Cuba's government.

Dipshit Donald did so much deranged stuff over the last two weeks that it would take a nine part Ken Burns documentary series to cover it…

Dancing With The Dictators

Jon Finer on Trump’s Venezuela invasion.

BIG OIL FIRST ~ America Last

Secretary Rubio basically said the use of military force would not occur without first coming to Congress to get authorization. He needs to explain why he straight up lied to Congress.

If we go to war then MAGA supporters must be drafted first. It's that simple.

The thing…

Senator Mark Warner joins Sam to give his take on the Donald’s demented actions in Venezuela, congressional oversight, & what comes next. Warner warns that extracting a foreign leader, sidelining Congress, & talking openly about “running” other countries reflects a dangerous imperial mindset!

Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife pleaded not guilty to charges that include narco-terrorism and drug trafficking in a federal courtroom in Manhattan. Ambassador James Story and General Barry McCaffrey join Ari to detail Donald’s deranged international disaster.

Seth takes a closer look at Tiny Handed Tyrant Trump making history by becoming the first-ever winner of the (((FIFA))) Peace Prize to BOMB another country and KIDNAP its leader.
