In response, the Trump admin pulled law enforcement off their beats, canceled $1 billion in school mental health grants and $800 million in grants to local violence prevention programs. The Trump admin continues to do nothing but make us less safe.

Sort of weird that every year we make a big deal of the State of the Union and as soon as it’s over it’s immediately forgotten and has no impact on anything

The hockey stuff is a nice preview of how Trump will ruin the World Cup.

And here comes the first of what can only be several dozen class action lawsuits against DHS and Kristi Noem for their unconstitutional fascist behavior against American citizens. #SheShed

NEW Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll: Ahead of SOTU, Trump's approval falls to new low of 37% — & just 20% among independents. Issue approval on immigration and deportations falls to new lows of -15, and voters say admin is spending on the wrong issues. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/ahead-of-s...

It’s a great day to ask why Howard Lutnick lied about visiting Epstein Island and still has a job, paid for by your tax dollars.

We Are Governed by the Stupidest People: The HHS Secretary and Plaguelord Kennedy Edition From the Washington Post, which still can occasionally do some good reporting (boldface mine): Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has spent years campaigning against vaccines, but with the flu shot, he’s…

I think the New York Times has become a psychology experiment in which they see how many times they can poke their remaining subscribers in the eye before they finally walk away

At least 40 Congressional Democrats are skipping Trump’s State of the Union tonight The number is rising

New in PN: Trump is about to start a war he hasn't bothered to explain "He’s about to write a new chapter in the ignominious history of presidents thinking they impose their will by dropping bombs on foreign countries, yet he himself doesn’t seem to know why, let alone how it’s supposed to end."

The Justice Department has withheld several Epstein files related to allegations that Trump sexually abused a minor. It also removed documents from the public database where accusations against Epstein also mention Trump. Many files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release.

Hundreds of Christian leaders and scholars nationwide are denouncing Trump’s administration and urging more active resistance among the faithful to “the injustices and anti-democratic danger sweeping across the nation.”

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU

⚡️ Zelensky reveals bunker where he told Biden 'I need ammunition, not a ride.' "Here I spoke with President Biden, and it was right here that I heard: Volodymyr, there is a threat. You need to leave Ukraine urgently," President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

Today, the UK arrested Lord Mandelson for his alleged ties to Epstein. But here in the United States of America? Nothing. Tomorrow, I am bringing Haley Robson, a heroic survivor, to the State of the Union.

Hey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

Most people don't understand what's coming. If the US attacks Iran it will be a global catastrophe open.substack.com/pub/donotpan...

News that you may not be hearing as much about in the US. The U.K. are following the Epstein files it appears. www.bbc.com/news/live/ce...

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Today marks exactly four years since Putin started his three-day push to take Kyiv. And that says a great deal about our resistance, about how Ukraine has fought all this time.

Thank you to Ryan Schwank for confirming with his whistleblowing what we have been seeing on our streets. ICE thugs are not taught what it means to be objectively reasonable —the very standard which the law requires them to meet— when deciding whether or not to use deadly force. They just do...

It’s entirely normal for people in law enforcement to come in with political leanings and prejudices. They are human, after all. And that is precisely why they need to be trained to put human rights and legal duties first. (1/2) thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Fuck that absolutely unqualified woman. apnews.com/article/educ...

So basically Trump can post that he’s sending a hospital ship to Greenland for no reason, then do absolutely nothing to actually send a hospital ship to Greenland because it was all a lie, and not one single Republican gets asked about it. That’s where we’re at.

WHISTLEBLOWER: ICE cut almost half it's training program, specifically the parts about the Constitution, the US legal system, use of force, proper arrest and detention, and WEAPONS TRAINING. THAT is why US citizens are being murdered and agents are dropping their guns.

How is Jared Kushner allowed to work on our nations behalf 🙄 without a Senate confirmation? He does NOT hold any governmental position. He has yet to obtain "peace" in the Middle East. He's just lining his pockets. The blatant corruption on display. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Trump and Mike Johnson are both still backing this guy.

Here on the upper east side of Manhattan I can report that the streets were immediately clearer and easier to navigate than after the snowfall just 2 weeks ago. The system works.

The X-Files was a forerunner of the mystery box style of storytelling: a Ponzi scheme where the viewer is presented with a mystery, the answer to which is two more mysteries. Ryan Coogler is the only person I trust to make a good X-Files without doing a narrative rug-pull.

I won't be attending the State of the Union address. I’m not interested in hearing another campaign rally full of lies.

PBS editors decided that discussion about the harm of both-sides journalism often relies upon examples that are too subtle, so, they did this.

Remember Republicans are always saying all the things we can’t afford but they can always find money for tax cuts for billionaires and money for our bloated military industrial complex. They never face tough choices. $33 B would fund ACA premiums. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

In the least shocking event of the day, Trump has lost yet another lawsuit, this time in the form of a settlement with the estate of singer Isaac Hayes. Though figures aren't public, the estate is pleased with the settlement amount.

And bring every player in to explain what was so funny about Trump telling them he was inviting the women's gold medal team as an afterthought. Especially the Hughes brothers - explain it to me like I'm your MOM (long time player, consultant and coach for WOMEN'S hockey).

Lol they're not your friends, Kash. And you can't use federal resources—including the FBI's $62M private jet—to go on a taxpayer-funded Olympic getaway & locker room bender. Adding it to the evidence file for our investigation, @raskin.house.gov.

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

This is quite possibly the dumbest — and most dangerous — idea ever. Grok is unreliable and frequently manipulated by Elon based on whatever bender he’s on. Will this version of Grok be air-gapped from the public version? Will they share knowledge repositories? What a shitshow.

The virus killed my uncle in just four days during the initial wave. He died alone in the ICU on a ventilator because nobody was allowed in the room. These trolls want to make a “comedy” out of it.

2/ Multiple women have alleged that he selected them from the audience at his Las Vegas show and made them feel uncomfortable. The files reveal Copperfield would provide tickets to Jeffrey Epstein, who sent some of the girls in his orbit to those performances.

David Copperfield — so wealthy that, according to reporting, federal investigators at one point expressed concern about pursuing aspects of his case due to the scale of his financial resources.

Ossoff: "If you live in a major democracy, and the nation's spy chief is showing up at raids on sensitive election sites, something has gone wrong."

This message is for anyone involved in the administration or working for them directly or indirectly Just stop doing what he tells you to do :) It’s just that simply. Disobey. Deny. Slow things down. Act confused. Sabotage things. Make a mess of the paperwork.

Trump’s transition into Shitler continues. If only there was a way to expose him.

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
