📌URGENT: Trump's regime is trying to turn Stars & Stripes into state-run media. I was the ME of S&S. It's MANDATED BY CONGRESS to be an editorially independent paper that reports ON the troops FOR the troops. So I type this with precision: The draft-dodging, America-attacking slob can KISS MY ASS.

🔥COOKED AGAIN: “That’s what Comer believes because he’s as smart as you are… I think you need to get examined, because your brain has been fried. Get some help.” Rep. @repilhan.bsky.social again drags Lindell TV *reporter* Alison Steinberg, who is completely outmatched intellectually

“When you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election.” Nothing to see here, folks 🤷🏼 www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...

Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “I wanted to speak on this Charlie Kirk resolution but debate was immediately ended by Republican Leader William Lamberth” Dems voting yes: Miller, Shaw Dems abstaining: Hemmer, Chism (Chism changed his but was there, voted on previous Q seconds before)

NOEM: “No plans to pull out of Minnesota… we did discuss the Insurrection Act, Trump certainly has the constitutional authority to utilize that.”

So few Gen Z identify as Republican they had to put the number outside the bar on the chart

REP. @brotherjones.bsky.social : “(Jeremy Faison and the Republicans) blocked a resolution honoring Renee Good… yet today we’re supposed to take seriously your resolution honoring Charlie Kirk.” Republicans blocked all debate — despite praising Kirk for “encouraging peaceful debate” 🤔

Imagine if Obama or Biden seized oil from a foreign government after kidnapping the president then put $500,000,000 in a foreign account in a country he does business with only he controlled. www.thebulwark.com/p/how-trump-...

DHS lied again

WATCH — @repmoskowitz.bsky.social : “Kristi Noem is a complete and utter embarrassment. She deserves to be removed from her job… how much are we gonna weaken Article 1 of the constitution while you guys remain in power?”

Literally this week: “Grocery prices biggest spike since 2022” www.axios.com/2026/01/13/i...

The “nobody debates that” here is not getting the attention it should. The nation is literally debating that. And the evidence of the wheels contradicts Vance. His phrasing is demanding the media simply echo his view and silence any other.

The six seconds from JD Vance that give the game away about the Trump administration’s attitude to the killing of Renee Good. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8fFYLgo/

The proprietor of The Other Place has been cozying up to white supremacism. I want to make sure we’re clear on that as he tries to get back in Trump’s favor and his companies become even more closely meshed with the Pentagon.

“I will be blind for life. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, plastic in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.” Kaden Rummler was shot in the face by Trump’s ICE goons, then dragged

“Trump and MAGA republicans are trying to rig the midterm elections, so they can lock in power.”

ICYMI — ICE agents flash-banged and tear-gassed this man’s family: “My 6-month-old can’t even breathe.” EMT’s had to come help them evacuate. Trump’s America. (H/T @calltoactivism.bsky.social)

This comes a day after ICE agents shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis. We are holding the community of Portland close as we learn more.

ALL communities deserve to be safe from gun violence in America.

Under #MayorsAgainstIllegalGuns co-chair Mayor Brandon M. Scott’s leadership, Baltimore has seen a historic drop in homicides. This life-saving progress is no coincidence: It’s a direct result of what can happen when our elected leaders treat gun violence like the public health crisis it is.

We’ll keep fighting for an America where everyone can live free from the threat of gun violence. Find @thetrace.org's incident tracking tool. ⬇️

A new @washingtonpost.com report makes it clear that ICE is mimicking the gun industry’s toxic marketing tactics, using militaristic ads and “tactical” influencers to recruit thousands of new agents.

The level of violence Americans are forced to endure on a daily basis is NOT NORMAL. With lawmakers’ refusal to act, we have tragically become a nation of survivors of a preventable epidemic.

New York has some of the strongest gun violence prevention laws in the country, and they’re only getting stronger. @GovKathyHochul is cracking down on illegal 3D-printed guns and DIY machine guns by taking the fight straight to the source.

Arming teachers does nothing to protect our children from gun violence. Data show these reactive initiatives are ineffective at preventing school violence, can make students and staff feel less safe, and bring new risks into schools. Our kids deserve better. everytownresearch.org/report/unpac...

The responsibility to lock up guns belongs to the adults who own them. Storing guns unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition saves lives. Learn how to securely store firearms to keep kids safe from @besmartforkids.bsky.social:

A 7-year-old-boy was unintentionally shot and critically wounded by a 9-year-old child this weekend inside a home in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Authorities said the two children were playing with an unsecured gun when it fired. Tragedies like these are preventable with secure gun storage.

Federal agents suppressing protests using extreme force is deeply disturbing and will only escalate tensions and make our communities less safe.

21-year-old Kaden Rummler was shot in the face at close range with a projectile by a federal agent during a peaceful protest last week in Santa Ana, California. Kaden, a college student, is now permanently blind in his left eye.

AGAIN. Fifteen-year-old Katen Atwell was shot and killed by another 15-year-old girl after accessing an unsecured gun inside the car of a 21-year-old man. 🧵

According to @thetrace.org, there have been at least 16 incidents in which federal agents opened fire, and another 15 incidents in which agents have held someone at gunpoint since the Trump Administration’s anti-immigration campaign began. Find @thetrace.org's incident tracking tool:

IMPORTANT READ: This week’s shootings in Minneapolis and Portland aren’t isolated headlines—they’re part of a pattern of gun-related incidents by federal agents. Take a moment to learn more:

The Trump Administration continues to send heavily-armed federal agents into our communities, while diverting critical resources from the agencies and programs normally tasked with stopping gun crime and violence.

Our volunteers joined New York Gov. Kathy Hochul this week as she unveiled a new gun violence prevention package targeting 3D-printed and illegal firearms. We can’t wait to build on the incredible progress made on gun safety in New York and help Gov. Hochul pass this life-saving proposal!

After years of decline, the NRA keeps promising reform, but keeps producing the same disarray and dysfunction. Now with lawsuits against itself. At this point, it’s not a scandal—it’s a condition.

HORRIFIC: A man shot and killed his father, uncle, brother, a 7-year-old relative, and two other men in a shooting spree that spanned three locations in rural Mississippi on Friday. 🧵

While other Southern states have been passing laws to ban machine gun conversion devices, Georgia lawmakers are busy protecting the gun lobby and threatening cities that try to do their job. This isn’t leadership—it’s cowardice.

“Time and time again, young people in this state are told that our safety isn’t a priority. But this bill takes it a step further by actually punishing the cities that are stepping up to protect us when our state lawmakers won’t,” said @studentsdemand.bsky.social leader Nolan Tanner.

Yesterday, the Georgia Senate made one thing crystal clear: protecting the interests of the gun lobby matters more to them than protecting our kids from gun violence. 🧵

Our kids don't have to die like this. Secure storage saves lives.

A man was shot in the leg and wounded by an ICE agent last night in Minneapolis. This isn’t an isolated incident—it’s part of a dangerous pattern of gun violence and armed intimidation by federal agents that has wreaked havoc in communities across the country.

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar. “There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

🤦🏼‍♂️ I posted today about how there are probably many ICE agents with ties to white supremacist militias, looking to crack heads of immigrants, & here it is. What's not to like - "You mean I get to crack heads of immigrants with impunity and get paid 6 figures for it!?" This sucks.

Just a reminder that rubber bullets are deadly.

The absence of any public pushback from the Republican Party on a situation as insane as Trump is rapidly reaching on Greenland is itself a huge sign of how far gone the US already is.
