Smith: Again, and I think all of us, if we're reasonable, know that there's going to be more crimes committed by these people in the future. I do not understand why you would mass pardon people who assaulted police officers. I don't get it. I never will.

Popok: There are many things the American public will tolerate, including an ideological divide in our politics, but a heartless president—I don’t think that’s one of them Shapiro: A heartless president that leads to hungry kids. His heartlessness is leading to a level of cruelty in our communities

Reporter: We saw the bruising on your hand. Are you okay? Trump: I’m very good. I clipped it on the table.

Healey: Whether it’s ballrooms, or masked agents, or attacks on Europe and Greenland…This is not normal. It’s not normal to have somebody who acts like a two-year-old throwing a tantrum. On any given day, we don’t know what he’s going to do. This shouldn’t be normalized. It’s not right.

Jens-Frederik Nielsen, Prime Minister of Greenland: First of all, nobody other than Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark have the mandate to make deals or agreements about Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark without us. That’s not going to happen.

Thank you to everyone who is risking their safety and contributing their time and money to protect our neighbors. If you are so inclined, please check out Stand With Minnesota (standwithminnesota.com) to find a way to help. And no one start any beefs with Will Stancil. (2/2)

"The farmers have been with me all three terms" -- Trump just claimed on Air Force One that he's on his third term so, uh, he might be joking about a fourth one

Trump: "RECORD NUMBERS ALL OVER THE PLACE! SHOULD I TRY FOR A FOURTH TERM?"

Q: We saw the bruising on your hand. Are you ok? TRUMP: I'm very good. I clipped it on the table, so I put a little -- what do they call it -- cream on it. I would say take aspirin if you like your heart, but don't take aspirin if you don't want to have a little bruising. I take the big aspirin.

Thank you, @atrupar.com .

Trump: “Dear Prime Minister Carney:   Please let this Letter serve to represent that the Board of Peace is withdrawing its invitation to you regarding Canada’s joining, what will be, the most prestigious Board of Leaders ever assembled, at any time.   Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

This is in my neighborhood. Someone who lives a few blocks away. Legally observing.

Scenes from occupied Minneapolis (Warning: video is disturbing)

Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

Hi everyone -- there is a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow to protest what the Trump administration and DHS are doing to our community. In solidarity with the action, I am going to donate my revenue from tmrw's newsletter to People over Papers, the Midway-Hamline Diaper Bank, & Every Meal. (1/2)

JD Vance lies shamelessly: "Right now we're focused on Minneapolis because that's where we have the highest concentration of people who have violated our immigration laws."

I wrote about how for politicians being competent is a moral imperative...though not the only one. we need people in office who are good people & good politicians...which seems obvious, but isn't really how we talk about virtue and politics, often. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/do-we-need...

I deleted a post about ICE showing up near the entry to a Minneapolis public school while kids were arriving yesterday and driving through an intersection without stopping because some parents have concerns about that information being public.

BALINT: Do you believe that President Trump's DOJ will find some way to indict you? JACK SMITH: I believe they will do everything in their power to do that because they've been ordered to by the president

Ossoff: "POTUS called for this man [Mark Kelly] to be hanged. A combat veteran, naval aviator, astronaut, senator. He demanded his execution bc he stated a principle enshrined in uniform code of military justice. If we become numb to that we lose sight of how extraordinary our obligations are."

Ossoff on Kelly: "It's an effort to intimidate veterans across the country from speaking out. It represents an even deeper threat to our civil liberties. So I just want to thank this man for his courage & continuing to speak truth to power even when threatened by authorities who want to silence him"

imagine this calculated, calculating, flip-flopping liar with actual, real power.

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home! Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.

oh i see they sent JD out again to eat shit

Sellers: You all gave Obama hell because wore a brown suit. But yet and still this man comes on stage in front of the world and he rambles and he misspeaks… he could have said that we solved the war between wakanda and namor. Republicans would have been like I'm glad we stopped that African country.

1/21/2026 - Minneapolis Federal agents abduct two teenagers (15 & 16) from a doctor's appointment At one point, it appears an agent tases one of the children

pepper spraying someone in the face from inches away while they are already restrained on the ground should get you fired and land you in jail, no exceptions

The fundamental problem here is not one of bad apples. This is what the agency is designed to do. The barrel is bad to start with.

Trump, making stuff up: "We have steel plants being built all over the country. Nobody thought they'd see that."

the room is so silent for Trump's lie-fest in Davos that you could hear someone fart

Trump: "There are windmills all over Europe. There are windmills all over the place. And they are losers. One thing I've noticed is that the more windmills a country has, the more money that country loses, and the worse that country is doing. I haven't been able to find any wind farms in China."

Trump to Davos: "Without us, right now you'd all be speaking German and a little Japanese perhaps. After the war, we gave Greenland back to Denmark. How stupid were we to do that? But we did it. But how ungrateful are they now?"

Trump in Davos: "It's a war that should have never started and it wouldn't have started if they 2020 US presidential election weren't rigged. It was a rigged election. Everybody now knows that. They found out. People will soon be prosecuted for what they did. That's probably breaking news."

Trump: "I settled 8 other wars ... Aber-bajian"

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

Trump: "No nation is in any position to be able to secure Greenland other than the US. We're a great power. Much greater than people even understand. I think they found that out 2 weeks ago in Venezuela. We saw this in World War 2 when Denmark fell to Germany after just 6 hours of fighting."

"She just rubbed me the wrong way" -- Trump is now rambling about the Swiss head of state, whose name and title he does not know

Trump does not even remember where he plans to invade.

The contrast between this and Carney’s speech could not be more alarming or shocking.

Facebook reminds me that on this day in 2017 a woman turned to me in the veg section of Sainsbury's and said "hopefully now we've left the EU we can have loose carrots that aren't wet"

Enough appeasement: Britain needs its own ‘trade bazooka’ to take on Donald Trump Ed Davey www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump: "I see people screaming 'Shame! Shame!' This is not people that are like, living in Minnesota. These are professional paid people. They are like actors."

No joke. Trump says his big 2026 leg goals are better water flows from sinks and better straws. JD hope you are getting ready!

Q: If a consequence of your determination to take control of Greenland is the ultimate breakup of the NATO alliance, is that a price you'll pay? TRUMP: I think something's gonna happen that's going to be very good for everybody. Nobody has done more for NATO. We need it for security purposes.

Trump: "I think God is very proud of the job I've done"

Q: Are you committed to keeping the US in NATO? TRUMP: I've had such a good relationship. Ahhh. I don't agree with a lot of the things they've done. Ahhh. I think NATO has been, uh good. Sometimes it's overrated. (That's a no)

Bovino lies shamelessly: "What we do is legal, ethical, and moral. Everything we do every day is legal, ethical, moral, well grounded in law."
