This map exposes the Greenland lie. The US used to have a massive military footprint here. Today, they operate just ONE base. If Trump were actually worried about Russian vessels, he would simply open more bases, which Denmark allows

Suggestion for the president: ♦️Pair your 10% tariff on all nations that sent troops to #Greenland with a 100% tariff reduction for all nations that sent troops to #Afghanistan. This operation-- in support of the US-- is the only time in history when NATO's mutual-defense clause has been activated.

About the ICE agent who fatally shot a man on New Year’s Eve while off-duty: A court document "says the ICE agent allegedly whipped his sons with a belt, made homophobic slurs and racist remarks about Black and Latino people and brought a gun to a youth sports game."

Instead of just talking about these crimes on TV, Ellison should demand action from his state's Attorney-General.

The "Ocean's Eleven" version of this heist will feature Steven Seagal, Billy Baldwin, and Rob Schneider.

Poor Kevin Hassert. You've seen him on TV. He's the doughy-faced lickspittle who can't stop grinning while kissing his boss's ass. He overshot the mark: ♦️The goal is to kiss up well enough to win Trump's favor-- but not SO well that he wants you with him 24/7. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Very good development. No chance ICE will abide by this order. And it will take weeks (months?) before it works its way through the judiciary system. But it's important for lower courts to make the lawlessness of the Administration clear to all.

Prediction: ♦️The breaking point will be when a governor deploys the National Guard to protect his or her people from ICE. And then Trump federalizes it. Will the Supremes side with Trump? Of course. Will Guard commanders? Very likely. But short of that scenario, it's hard to see how he is stopped.

Out of curiosity, I let Gemini summarize the last email I received. It took 28 words to summarize an email of 2 words. #EffOffAI

Great. Now Gmail has started shoving #AI down my throat. ♦️Asks me whether I want it to summarize each email (I don't. Ever). ♦️Offers to write my damn emails for me (No. Stop it. Just stop it). I know Google doesn't care what its customers want. But remember how EVERYONE on the planet HATED Clippy?

This sounds less like an article in @theonion.com than a real-life quote from Sean Hannity.

That's how you do it. Note to Dems: ♦️Use whatever power you have. DO things.

That's sweet. A judge "recommending" an action to this Administration. An Administration that has freely ignored the supposedly-binding rulings of circuit judges will surely follow instructions that don't have the force of law.

Here's a story that doesn't seem to have been considered front-page news by any paper in the nations. ♦️ICE guard likely killed a detainee in custody. I'm sure Pam Bondi will investigate this homicide vigorously. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

You know Tony Blair (Iraq War PM) and Jared Kushner (Trump son-in-law and grifter-in-chief). You might not know Marc Rowan. What qualifies him to be the third member of the triumvirate ruling #Gaza? ♦️He's a Wall Street vampire and Trump mega-donor. That's all.

Who did this> 🤣

Absolutely true, Tim. You're the Governor: ♦️Investigate it.

And yet: ♦️Still no State or City investigation into the killing of #ReneeGood. ♦️Still no deployment of MN National Guard or local law enforcement to protect the people of #Minneapolis. To be clear: Deployment of State/local forces would be dangerous. But come on, guys: Do SOMETHING.

Anecdotally, it sure seems like there are a lot more National Guard troops in DC in 2026 than in prior months. They're not taking any aggressive action: Basically, just standing around on street corners and Metro stations. But after Minneapolis, their mere presence now seems more threatening.

All 6 Branches Of Armed Forces Present At Arrest Of Undocumented Nanny https://theonion.com/all-6-branches-of-armed-forces-present-at-arrest-of-undocumented-nanny/

REPORTER: Do you commit to not militarily engaging NATO partners? TRUMP: I don't talk about that REPORTER: You're not willing to commit to not attacking a NATO partner?

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com President Trump wants to buy Greenland. Its former colonizer, through Danish comedian Huxi Bach, has some thoughts on why that’s a terrible idea.

Got to admire the 🔥: -Woman sues former Senator/current grifter Kyrsten Sinema for destroying her marriage... ...which she values at just $75K. Seems fair: ♦️Any union that could be disrupted by Sinema is worth roughly as much as a Chevy Camaro.

If I ever ordered a pseudo-pizza substance from Papa John... ...I would never give photographs of all friends implicated in this potentially-blackmailable decision to an entity as untrustworthy as Papa John.

Congratulations to Adriana Camberos: ♦️She appears to be the first person to purchase TWO Trump pardons: www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

“Stop kneeing him in the face!”

Note to the son of #Iran 's (widely-detested and long-dead) Shah: ♦️Asking Trump to drop bombs on your own nation doesn't always work out as well as you might think. ...Just ask #Venezuela 's #MariaCorinaMachado.

Jesus was critical of religious gatekeeping and hoarding of wealth. He never said a word against being gay, being trans, or being an immigrant. If we’re being honest, a lot of us Christians have a big problem with Christ.

Yet again raising the question: ♦️Would anyone, ever, want to have this guy as their doctor?

In Bari Weiss's alternate timeline, Walter Cronkite famously ended his broadcasts with a brief on-air make-out session with Richard Nixon.

Senator Elizabeth Warren and (the usually-sensible) Jonathan Chait find themselves in an argument about whether Democrats get pushed around too much by the donor class. Warren says they do, and she’s right. I can’t fathom why Chait disputes her. My latest. newrepublic.com/article/2053...

Note to María Corina Machado: ♦️This is how he treats his FRIENDS:

News straight from 2022:

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis. He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden. (After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

Fun fact: ♦️DC and Puerto Rico are also non-states whose residents (American citizens!) have no voting representation in Congress.

I'm not a pundit, but I often do analysis on TV. Once found myself on a TV news show opposite Sebastian Gorka. ♦️I have never gone, and would never go, on any program on that station again.

In 2005, Patriots owner Bob Kraft met with Putin, and showed him his ring for Superbowl XXXIX. Putin asked if he could try it on-- and refused to give it back. As ever: Trump is nothing more than a bad copy of Putin.

Gavin Newsom is a presidential frontrunner in part because he not only talked the talk about fighting Trump, but came up with and executed a plan to actually do it. Other Democrats should take note. Words and stern letters ain’t sufficient.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for an ICE agent to do this to a 21-year-old kid, who was only protesting because another ICE agent killed a mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

Yet again: ♦️A person with the stature and respect to stand up has decided to bow down. And willingly surrendered her dignity to him. ♦️Her fate will be exactly the same as that of everyone who went before: -He'll pocket her submission, and cast her to the curb.

To bring this @theonion.com up to date, just replace "cop" with "ICE": theonion.com/gang-initiat...

A guess: ♦️All of them.

#Verizon: Yeah, we deprived our customers of service for a day, but that's just "a fact of life." What're you gonna do-- switch to...Sprint? Lesson: ♦️Oligarchy is pretty much the same as monopoly.

Many of us are demanding that you do something about guys in combat kit occupying our cities and killing our neighbors. Sure, also groceries. But the killing-our-neighbors part first.

Trump is letting Mississippi get away with a massive welfare scandal that channeled money to Brett Favre and others. The state was supposed to pay $100 million for allowing embezzlement from a federal program for needy families. But the penalty was dropped. www.huffpost.com/entry/minnes...

"Weaponize shovels and brooms." And 40% of the country believes her.

Pull up a stool at Ye Olde Pickle Factory, and set a while. The good, honest, hard-working people here will tell you why they love their country, their family-- and their pickles. And they'll explain why a young mother who doesn't snap to it when ICE gives an order deserves to be shot in the face.

NYT reporter does his job-- then his editors sell their readers out and bury the lede. I'll help you out, NYT: ♦️"Breaking News: Two GOP-appointed judges (one of them appointed by Trump himself) open the door to continued persecution of lawful US resident #MahmoudKhalil..."
