"Trump is putting America’s money in Qatar, where courts can’t touch it. Kind of like a drug dealer stashing his funds in the Caymans."

It really took us less than a year to get to, "Show us your papers."

After an ICE agent shot and killed the Minneapolis mother, conservative media launched an all-out attack on her reputation. Her identity as a queer woman was central to it. www.wired.com/story/the-ca...

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

In Trump’s “Golden Age,” you get to eat one piece of chicken, one piece of broccoli, and a corn tortilla. Remember when he promised to lower grocery prices on Day One? Turns out that was yet another lie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EXi6xyOXSk

In the new episode of “Autocracy in America,” Molly White talks to Anne Applebaum about how the crypto industry is shaping our politics and facilitating corruption within our government. Listen:

What we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.

A mother in Minneapolis rushed to perform CPR on her 6-month-old baby after federal immigration agents deployed a chemical agent near her car, leading all six of her children to be taken to the hospital. This isn’t the first time kids have been on the receiving end of ICE's chemical weapons.

President Donald Trump knows the flurry of controversies is helping to distract from the Epstein files, author Michael Wolff said.

Psaki: Calling Trump's two-page health care plan "a concept of a plan would be insulting to concepts of plans."

It's been 27 days since the DOJ was required by law to release all documents in the Epstein files.

Don't worry everyone, Karoline Leavitt promised that Trump was just joking about cancelling the midterm elections.

Some Danes, offended by Trump’s claims on Greenland, are boycotting U.S. goods. A Facebook group that offers tips on avoiding or replacing everything from Kellogg’s Corn Flakes to HP printers has gathered nearly 100,000 members. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/cATmoM

Pathetic.

Donald Trump gets a lot of hate, but it’s not enough. We can do better.

BREAKING: Mother Jones is suing the Bureau of Prisons for Ghislaine Maxwell’s records. Because someone needed to.

Poland failed to win the Hitler team over

Look at what Trump has done.

Ain't that the truth!

There you have it; the Trump admin allows ICE lawyer James Rodden to stay on the job. His personal social media account praised Hitler, supported white nationalism, and said that America started going downhill the day that Lincoln was elected.

Struck a nerve?

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

🔥 @markruffalo.bsky.social : “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered... stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”

It really is. How quickly so many of us forget history. Or never learned it.

Russ Vought set out to ensure a second Trump term would not be hampered by checks and balances: “I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.” (Published Oct. 2025 with @newyorker.com)

ICE beat a U.S. Marine Veteran, telling her: “Have you not learned? This is why we killed that lesbian bitch!” Credit to @statuscoupnews.bsky.social for the interview.

Froze my ass off at the Iowa City anti-ICE rally, but it was worth it

We have cleaned up the crime scene and blocked a local investigation and hidden the perpetrator and invaded the state and that is how you know that we are acting in good faith and that everything was the victim’s fault. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

The tl;dr of this report is not that these administration officials are upset about ICE having murdered Renee Good; it's that even these goons realize Noem's lies about the murder were so poorly crafted that people aren't going to believe all the other lies the administration tells the public.

A Russian soldier films a large detachment of African mercenaries recruited to wage war against Ukraine. Behind their backs, he comments in Russian that they are essentially disposable cannon fodder: "Look how many disposables are here."

Fans are cancelling tickets. FIFA has called an emergency meeting over the World Cup backlash. Boycott the Olympics too. Trump's Gestapo will round up and shoot anyone. No one is safe in America.

Trump is not a patriot, and MAGA is un-American.

I remember reading this first time, some thirty-plus years ago.

REP. @aoc.bsky.social : “Trump, Vance, Bondi are engaged in one of the greatest cover-ups we’ve seen when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein and the protection of people in power or close to power.”

Why is the DOJ and the FBI protecting “Bill Clinton” by redacting the Epstein Files?…..Oh.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

A dominant theme of Hitler's speeches in the late 1930s is that Germany was surrounded by threats. These threats were imaginary: it was Nazi Germany that threatened other nations. But they were used to justify pre-emptive attacks. Trump is following this script.

The transformation of ICE into a type of national police force, backed, in some cases, by soldiers from the National Guard, has been covered as immigration story—but these forces are reshaping democracy for all of us. Listen to 'Autocracy in America' here: www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...
