Keep hoping Amanda

Trump coming in strong again with the delusions. And I mean that in the most clinical sense of the word, as in “a false belief not based in reality.”

He can't spell and punctuate for shit, but he uses Tremendous and Extremely Attractive and Totally Presidential Fonts.

🚨"It looks just like a cover up to me" -Minnesota AG @keithellison.bsky.social tells our @jtcestkowski.bsky.social on the Trump DOJ's "inexplicable" refusal to investigate the killing of Renee Good. "Give us the file—we'll do it. It speaks to cover up and the whole world should denounce it."

All it would take is for a bunch of these CEOs to confront Trump in front of the world and tell him he's unfit to run a hot-dog stand, and his presidency would be over. Seriously. But none of them has the balls to do it.

ST. PAUL MAYOR: “We’ve received reports of ICE officers going door to door asking where the Asian people live… I myself have received advice to carry my passport with me because they may target me based on what I look like.”

For those saying “oh but the cabinet are all sycophants.” Yes. We know. It’s called PRESSURE. You pressure the system until something gives. Micro cracks in the wall until some bricks start to come loose.

BREAKING: The President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, just delivered the strongest rebuke of Donald Trump we’ve seen yet regarding Greenland. Wow.

How big is Greenland? Its so big it covers up 99% of the Epstein files.

You have to admit these letters from Trump to foreign governments would actually seem less bizarre if they had been written in crayon

Of course we are! Duh.

The Civil Rights Division is going to charge a Black Man under the Ku Klux Klan Act on MLK day. Do I have that right?

May Minnesota's business leaders someday find the courage of our high school journalists: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Senior White House official says local and state police in Minneapolis “have been ordered to stand down and surrender.” What?

Blanche won’t investigate the killing of an innocent woman on camera but they’ve got all hands on deck for a church service being interrupted

Just as everyone predicted with the exception of Donald Trump, Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, and Kevin Hassett. The last 3 knew they’ve been lying, not sure with Orange Caligula because he’s a moron and a liar so in his case it could be either one or both.

Jennings: Let's not get our knickers in a twist here McGowan: Why are you talking like that? It's insane. Your attitude is just horrifying…

Wow.

Trump appears to have leaked a private text message from Emmanuel Macron. Why would any leader ever trust someone who leaks their private conversations?

An FBI agent conducted an initial review of the Renee Good killing and determined sufficient grounds existed to open a civil rights probe into the actions of the ICE officer who shot her. Justice Department says no inquiry is warranted. @perrystein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

🚨"I'm a nurse...my brown patients are choosing to stop chemo because they do not want to be abducted." -ICE protester tells JT Cestkowski about sick Minnesotans foregoing cancer treatment because of ICE terror. LIVE NOW ⬇️

NEWS: Survivor Lisa Phillips backs request by Reps. Khanna and Massie for judge to appoint a special master to release the Epstein files. "I have no confidence that the Department of Justice, already 30 days late in complying with the Act with no end in sight."

In the six-plus years since, every mental health professional I have come across has told me that my essay had it exactly right. I think every word of it has been proven right many times over. Even today, he's still only going to get worse. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I'm starting to think that, until he's finally gone, I should repost on a daily basis this 11,000+ word piece I published in @theatlantic.com about Donald Trump's serious psychiatric disorders to explain why, as a legal and constitutional matter, he was unfit for the presidency.

This is darkly funny. But part of the problem with Donald Trump is that this is how people have dealt with him for the past 75-plus years. Long story short (and friends in Europe, please take note): This approach DOES NOT WORK.

This is my friend Matt's Emmy from 2011 which I now proudly accept. Thank you all for this great honor.

just got out of an uber. the driver was telling me how he has to work 16 hour days, seven days a week, at two different jobs to afford rent. he doesn't have healthcare and he worries about retirement. "i would feel a lot better if we owned greenland," he told me. then he cried.

a hot take: there is real overlap between spanberger’s first set of executive orders and mamdani’s www.wtvr.com/news/local-n...

In a span of an hour, Trump says he is suing JP Morgan and imposing large tariffs on Europe until we purchase Greenland. Someone needs to take his phone away.

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger just issued an executive order shutting down state police cooperation with Trump’s ICE immediately after taking office.

🚨BREAKING: A right-wing agitator who was confronted by Minneapolis ICE protesters just hit someone with his car—and continued to drive off—from parking garage. It's unclear if it was an ICE protester he hit or their condition. "They just ran into somebody as they drove away." ⬇️

I’ll never get over this. Trump unfairly pardoned someone, they turned around and committed a new crime, and Trump pardoned them again. You can commit any any crime you want as long as you have the money, power, and connections to get yourself a pardon. edition.cnn.com/2026/01/17/p...

Fetterman is scolding the left while the right burns the house down. That’s not resisting squat. I’m telling y’all, John Fetterman is going to be worse for Democrats than Joe Manchin ever was. When we’re counting Senate seats in the Dem column, we should skip right over him.

I’m sorry, but if there’s thousands of good guys and 10 Nazis, who are the “counterprotestors?”

Trump lets another drug trafficker out of prison because his father happens to be a Republican member of Congress.

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

THIS is a post about the CR. Call your reps and senators and tell them not to fund this government.
