What would normally be presidency-ending scandals not even a blip on the radar Daily

GEORGIA — Trump’s DHS just bought an ICE detention warehouse for $128 MILLION… that sold for $29 MILLION two years ago… from a Russia-based real estate company.🤔 Nothing to see here, folks! We are being looted so hard by these crooks

This is a consequence of Trump giving European allies valid reasons to mistrust US commitment to NATO's collective defense. Trump also failed to extend (deliberately allowed to expire) the START nuclear arms limitation treaty with Russia. The world is more dangerous. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Point-No-Point Park. Bald eagles are routinely seen in this region of Washington. However, this is a golden eagle; the first I have seen here. A much smaller mature bald eagle was perched in a tall tree nearby, giving me a good size comparison.

Jeffrey Epstein's December 20, 2016 email to Bill Gates: "come to visit the island. new administration people visiting." What was the upcoming administration in December2016? Oh!

Tragic

We now have data from Trump's first full year in office. Let's review the performance of Trump and the two parties since 1989 and a new age of globalization began. However you cut the data Trump continues to have worst jobs record of last six Presidents. 1/

Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison

Trump Administration incompetence on full display. Don’t expect an honest explanation. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Incompetence and stupidity is leading our government to put public health at ever greater risk. Incompetence and stupidity are synonymous with RFK Jr and Trump. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Trump and many Republicans predictably complaining about the "disgusting dancing" during Bad Bunny halftime performance. The truth is the halftime show was no more sexualized than many of the ads aired throughout the Super Bowl, and Bad Bunny's performance was far more entertaining.

If the allegations are accurate, she routed intel about a Trump‑adjacent call toward the WH instead of triggering the usual DOJ/FBI referral.” Of course.

🚨 BREAKING: USDA just revised 2025 net farm income DOWN by $25 billion. That's the Trump administration's own data confirming what farmers already knew: the American farm economy is in crisis. But sure, keep telling us it's the "Golden Age" of agriculture.

Donald Trump’s unbelievable year of pardons, visualized.

BREAKING: Over 680 members of the National Academy of Sciences, Medicine, and Engineering have endorsed articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. (1/2 🧵)

Jon Stewart: America's real "sanctuary city" is the one protecting elites from any accountability

Racism is a virtue in Trump world. Not a world I want to inhabit. Vote blue.

This is winning?

On par for Trump. He has bankrupted numerous businesses and I fear is on a bankruptcy path for the country. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Polymarket, the gambling app that lets users bet on just about anything, was being investigated for violating money laundering laws. Then Trump became president. The DOJ dropped its probe. And Don Jr. (who was an investor) got hired as an advisor to the company. Funny how that works, huh?

In case facts still matter…

We think about these JD Vance tweets about once a month

If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read.

I am retired from the intel community and agree with this post.

'We Will Not Bow': No Kings 3 Rallies Scheduled for March 28 With Flagship Event in Minnesota www.commondreams.org/news/no-king... I'll be there. We need 20 million people to come out and protest.

Eyewitness says she has not even been contacted by federal investigators

Ilhan Omar is an American hero. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

More of the Administration’s finest.

To Gregory Bovino: This is what brandishing a firearm at a protest looks like.

Heroic, ICE professionals keeping us safe from the worst of the worst.

What is the difference here? Two sets of Republicans rules.

Agreed

In light of recent events, seemed like a good time to repost this letter to Republican members of Congress. And feel free to send along a copy to your Republican Representative or Senator: steadystate1.substack.com/p/the-steady...

It’s almost as if gutting independent Inspectors General at federal departments and agencies was a bad thing and part of a fascist plot

open.substack.com/pub/steadyst... "We now have our own version of the Soviet KGB, Russian FSB without the name, an East German Stasi, a Serbian MUP without the uniform:...Centralize authority. Blur legal boundaries. Normalize force. Declare opponents dangerous. Treat dissent as disorder."

It's time for a truly massive general strike. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-enough

The US administration is thoroughly Fascist; authoritarian, militaristic and hyper-nationalist. Renee Good and Alex Pretti are among the most visible but not the only people to die because of the current administration's terrorism.

MAGA's twisted disregard for honesty.

A call to pro athletes to protest against ICE, CBP and Trump. It is too much to ask that NFL, NBA and NHL players refuse to play tomorrow. So short of that, follow Colin Kapernick's example. Kneel during the national anthem to show your opposition to authoritarianism and militarism.

ICE and CBP agents are out of control and put everyone in danger. We're calling for ICE agents to withdraw from Minneapolis, and for Congress to rein in ICE’s abuses in our communities.
