Your ICE questions By Adam B. Kushner Whom can ICE arrest, and when? How many people are agents deporting? How do ICE agents feel? We asked readers for their questions about immigration and deportation. The Times’s expert beat reporters answer. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/b...

Trump has rewarded "generous donors with clemency," which was revealed in a Wall Street Journal report in December that detailed some of the alleged inner workings that have "spawned a pardon-shopping industry where lobbyists say their going rate is $1M. www.rawstory.com/donald-trump...

Per the NYT editorial board, Trump's 2nd presidency has increased his net worth: ~$23M from licensing his name overseas $28M from Amazon for a documentary about Melania $90.5M settlements major tech & media companies $400M jet to use and to take after leaving office $867M various cryptocurrencies

Trump has been called out for his uncomfortable comments about Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and her “beautiful” appearance, Knewz.com reports. “When she gets up there [Fox News] with that beautiful face and those lips that don’t stop-op-op-op, like a little machine gun.” x.com/i/status/199...

The absence of an MLK Day proclamation by Trump represents not just a symbolic omission, but a calculated choice, a clear political statement that MLK and his fight for equality and justice and his opposition to white supremacy and bigotry have no place in Trump’s current MAGA movement.

Hey Sports Fans: Green Day, who are vocal critics of Trump, will perform at the Super Bowl opening ceremony next month. Last summer, lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong spoke out against Trump at Download Festival in the UK, and said: "It's up to us to fight back. Let's have fun! Let's get loud!"

Trump announced a 10% tariff on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland would begin Feb. 1 but could rise to 25% - and would last until a deal is reached for the complete and total purchase of Greenland. Hey Piggie, Greenland isn't yours to decide.

Bruce Springsteen in a NJ concert, “If you believe no one stands above the law, against heavily armed masked federal troops invading an American city, using Gestapo tactics, you don’t deserve to be murdered for exercising your right to protest: tell Trump, ICE should get the f–k out of Minneapolis.”

With looming American tariffs and constant threats, the EU prepares to retaliate by imposing $108b of levies on US exports. Turning America and Europe against one another, Trump handed Putin the prize he’s always wanted.

U.S. Dist. Judge Kate Menendez barred DHS/ICE officials in Minn. from “using pepper-spray or similar nonlethal munitions & crowd dispersal tools against persons engaging in peaceful/unobstructive protest activity” and from stopping vehicles following them maintaining a safe “appropriate” distance.

Quinnipiac poll Jan. 14: Q: Would you support or oppose the United States trying to take Greenland by military force? Reg. Voters 86% Oppose Republicans 68% Oppose Democrats 95% Oppose Independents 94% Oppose

According to a new CNN/SSRS poll: 58% of Americans think Trump's second term has been a failure 55% say his policies have worsened economic conditions in the country—the very thing voters put him back in office to fix—a terrible position for him to be in ahead of the midterm elections.

For months, Trump's DOJ has been trying to access state voter rolls under the guise of inspecting them for fraud. A federal judge in CA, David O. Carter, ruled the adm. was prohibited from accessing the state's voter rolls b/c it threatens the right to vote, the cornerstone of American democracy.”

After Trump is out, I hope his inner circle of enablers and the ICE goons will be brought to justice, much like the Nazis after WW2. First up: Rebuild the country and reconnect with allies. We have gone past being a laughingstock and now become a nightmare that needs to be dealt with.

Trump claims he is proposing a new health care program better than the ACA. And how do the people feel about that?

Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison once owned superyacht named Izanami, the Shinto goddess of creation and death. Sailors at Sausalito's Schoonmaker Marina noticed that "Izanami" spelled backwards is "I'm a Nazi." Ellison's family recently acquired Paramount and TikTok's U.S. operations. Heads up CBS.

A Ford employee, TJ Sabula, who was suspended after heckling Trump has sparked an outpouring of crowdfunding support. Video shows Trump giving the middle finger after he shouted "pedophile protector" at him. GoFundMe has raised over $800,000 in less than 24 hours. So, what do the people think?

Trump mocked “CBS Evening News” anchor Tony Dokoupil who “wouldn’t have this job” unless Trump had won. The network’s ratings have collapsed under the new conservative regime. Trump praised conservative David Ellison, chairman and CEO of CBS parent company Paramount, as “an amazing guy.”

A social media post from the Department of Labor appears to echo a Nazi-era slogan. The DOL posted to X on Jan. 10, "One Homeland. One People. One Heritage. Remember who you are, American." One of the central slogans used by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party is, "One People, One Realm, One Leader."

The price of food in grocery stores and restaurants surged to a three-year high last month, even as Trump insisted he had “defeated” inflation during what he described as “the greatest first year in history” of any president.

For anyone who needs a break from the hate-filled, stomach churning current Trump climate, I share the following. Hope it helps. Music for Body and Spirit - Meditation Music www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQhO...

Another "weaponized bitch" who won't cause any more trouble:

A thought for the New Year:

Trump’s approval rating reaches historic lows In November 2025, Trump’s approval fell to 36% in Gallup polling, the lowest mark of his second term. As of January, trackers like The Economist place his average approval at 39%, with 56% disapproving. Hey Piggie, who would have thunk it p'sible?

The White House is considering a range of options, including the use of military force, to acquire the mineral-rich Greenland. Trump said the US would take Greenland "one way or the other," warning that Russia and China would "take over" if Washington didn't act.

Trump has offered support for the Iranian protesters, saying that “Iran is looking at FREEDOM, perhaps like never before. The USA stands ready to help!!!” ... but what to do with American protesters who aren't MAGA? Oh yes, shoot them!

Hey Donny, have you heard recently from your buddy, Vlad?

As tensions mount in the US under Trump’s actions in Venezuela, his designs on Greenland and the murder of an innocent woman by ICE in Minneapolis, more of his inner circle relocate to military bases in the D.C., area due to heightened security concerns. Fear not scared ones; ICE will protect you.

The Washington National Opera announced that, after 55 years, it was parting ways with the Kennedy Center, the once-venerated and now-controversial performing arts venue. The Board mentioned the “robust change” at the Center as part of their determination “to pursue separate paths.”

Ken Jennings is already looking forward to 2028. He's hoping that whoever wins will make it a priority to prosecute the former administration at every level. That candidate will have his vote in 2028. Perhaps start with Trump, his inner circle, the ICE goon squad for an extended vacation at CECOT?

Trump drew fresh outrage over remarks about what he believes are the limits, or lack thereof, on his international power. “Yeah, there is one thing,” Trump replied. “My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.” Well, the above should remove any confusion you have.

NATO allies, in a joint statement, declared “Security in the Arctic must be achieved collectively, including the US, by upholding the UN Charter, including sovereignty, territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders. These are universal principles, and we will not stop defending them.”

In an eye-popping joint statement from America's top European allies, the leaders of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, and Denmark told Trump that a U.S. takeover of Greenland would constitute an attack on NATO and in as many words told him to cut it out.

Since he ordered the removal of Maduro, Trump has been crowing about expanding his sights to take over other countries, with Mexico, Colombia, Cuba, and Greenland topping the list. Don't worry allies. Trump has your back.

Aboard Air Force One, a reporter asked Trump whether he spoke with oil companies "before the operation took place." "Before and after," Trump said. "They want to go in, and they're gonna do a great job for the people of Venezuela, and they're gonna represent us well."

From former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg: “An unpopular president – failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home – decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.” Buttigieg asked why Trump isn’t trying to help people get health insurance instead of invading Venezuela.

Today, Venezuela. Tomorrow, the world. Arise and show mass support for your Fuhrer Trump. Repeat to a crescendo: Sieg Heil, Sieg Heil, Seig Heil! Share your disdain for "others" be it race, religion, or sexual orientation/identity, and demonize/deport the "parasites," "vermin," and "retards."

Sign of the times:

I wish I could say she is wrong; however...

Trump's 2026 agenda so far: Intervene in Iran Run over Venezuela Get control of Nigeria Annex Greenland Belittle Ukraine Pleasure Putin to happy endings Gold plate more of the West Wing Accept no responsibility for anything wrong Blame Biden for anything wrong Tell Americans to suck up difficulties

From the heart of the soulless: As the Kennedys mourned the untimely death of Tatiana Schlossberg, the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and granddaughter of JFK, Trump shared screenshots of MAGA supporters insulting the Kennedys for their response to his decision to add his name to the Kennedy Center.
