The dollar fell to $0.83 against the Euro on Tuesday, the lowest it's been since June 2021, after President Donald Trump said that he doesn't care about its continued decline.

These words demand attention. “In a real sense this is holy ground, consecrated by blood spilled here. The cost is high, and so I had to be here to stand in the very place where this tragedy unfurled… I think we’re at a defining moment for our country…” ~ Rev Warnock Take a moment, so much more…

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., rolls out his demand for supporting a DHS appropriations bill: fire Stephen Miller

So basically Albert Speer’s defense at Nuremberg.

For those who believe that a Democratic majority in Congress will be somehow inconsequential, look at what is happening right now without those majorities. Now picture that same movement backed by hearings, investigations, and legislation. Organize. Donate. Register. Vote.

Breaking news: Composer Philip Glass withdrew his highly anticipated Symphony No. 15 from its scheduled Kennedy Center performance, saying “the values of the Kennedy Center today are in direct conflict with the message of the Symphony.”

I’m glad that Congresswoman Omar is safe. Our state has been shattered by political violence in the last year. The cruel, inflammatory, dehumanizing rhetoric by our nation’s leaders needs to stop immediately. www.startribune.com/man-tackled-...

The funniest part about all this? The NRA being radio silent on a President who wants to take away people's guns because he's allegedly a Republican.

the gICEtapo murdered wael tarabishi. the family pleaded for compassionate release. wael said, "My father is my only hope. He’s my legs, he’s my lungs, he’s the voice when I cannot speak. He’s my safety when I’m afraid." ice refused. wael's death is on their hands. share.google/sEq6tGogQaU9...

Maher Tarabishi, who has been detained by ICE since October, was the primary caretaker of his disabled adult child, Wael. On Jan. 23, Wael died from complications related to Pompe disease, a rare genetic condition. ICE has now denied Maher’s request to attend his funeral, his attorney says.

US District Court Judge Patrick Schiltz ordered acting ICE director Todd Lyons to appear in court Friday & warned he could be held in contempt for repeatedly failing to comply with court orders. ICE has repeatedly ignored or delayed bond hearings & release orders for detained immigrants.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, as well as countless other victims. We honor their lives by rejecting the evils of antisemitism, dehumanization, and authoritarian violence wherever they appear. Never again means never again for anyone.

This is what a sea change looks like

In the middle of a Depression he would be saying how great everything is and how much we should thank him.

Hey... until the "voting isnt going to save us" folks figure out what is going to save us, I say we vote in the meantime. It's still wild they cant seem to figure out how to do an organized national boycott.

CNN: Are you okay? Omar :I've survived war. And I'm definitely going to survive intimidation and whatever these people think they can throw at me because I'm built that way.

Iowa farmer: 27% of farmers across this country are on the ACA—and they’re looking at significant increases. It’s not uncommon to see premiums quadruple. There are farmers out there who are deciding to go without health insurance because of that.

People mocking the baggy suits for an easy laugh, but riddle me this wiseguy: how else are you carry $50K in cash bribes when you have been told to stop using your CAVA bag?

Trump turned his power into a racial crusade a long time ago. Calling that out isn’t stirring division. This is telling the truth.

The actions of the Trump administration have shown not signs of strength, but of pathetic weakness. This backward, weak, unimaginative, soulless being is not a strongman. Trump is the weakest, most pathetic man this country has ever known.

This is the second physical attack on a Democratic Member of Congress this week. The other was Maxwell Frost. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

Two Democratic members of Congress attacked in three days. Maxwell Frost was assaulted on Saturday, Ilan Omar tonight.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need a lot more of this. www.ms.now/news/minneap...

Words have consequences

Keep applying pressure.

Axios on Trump's moves to de-escalate: "..Homan is likely to emphasize more targeted enforcement efforts with fewer confrontational tactics than Bovino, whose masked officers were caught on video accosting residents" BTW: ICE is still "accosting" people this morning www.axios.com/2026/01/27/t...

I think if we let her keep the outfits she might leave.

“If you raise your voice, I’ll erase your voice.”

Eric Garcia: Should Kristi Noem resign? Murkowski: I voted for her. I would not support her again, and I think it’s probably time for her to step down.

"I didn’t realize, in the hours before his name was released to the public, that the man millions of people had seen lying facedown on the pavement from multiple angles of eyewitness video was my childhood best friend." Read more from @kristenradtke.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/policy/86856...

You voted for this.

Start voting for qualified candidates. Stop voting for idiots! This is not a game. We are surrounded by government idiots destroying our country because we either didn’t care enough to vote, or we voted for the reality tv Con. Come on! Get serious! Our fellow citizens are disappearing and dying.

here's a video from this afternoon in Eden Prairie MN of ICE agents camping out as a bus stop. Again, this is terrorism.

Today in Oligarchy. (One in a series.)

Here is your domestic terrorist.

Will someone please ask Congress if they have a quota of how many Americans are killed before they remove the terrorist?

Victor Wembanyama on Minneapolis: "Every day I wake up and see the news and I'm horrified. I think it is crazy that some people make it sound like it's acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable."
