If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

The technical term, in international law for this is "a smash and grab"

Walz is out of Fs: "Not a single Republican supported this, so every Minnesotan from here on, whoever uses this program, there is no bit of thanks that would go to the R legislators who did all they could to stop this ... our schools have money to pay their teachers? I'll take credit for that too."

Piracy. 🏴‍☠️ — And by “to benefit the people” he means himself and his friends.

I just saw the video of when 🧊 boxed me in today to intimidate and it’s kind of a funny story. It was right by the bar so i went over to observe them. 6 (?) cars or so. All staging for the morning. Then i left the parking lot after them and suddenly i was surrounded by a bunch of suvs.

What do these companies have in common? -Cigna -Comcast -General Mills -Allstate -Marriott -Hilton -Walmart -Amazon -Microsoft -Meta All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election. And all have broken that promise.

Meanwhile, here's what's happening on the ground now in Venezuela: -"state of external commotion” declared, restricting movement and assembly. -More than a dozen journalists arrested. -Unidentified armed men, grabbing people's phones and searching. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

More masked ICE agents terrorizing our streets and arresting U.S. citizens will not make the Twin Cities safer (not that that was ever their goal)

Walz: "They're unwilling to stand with Melissa Hortman's children. And I want to tell you this: for those legislators who went and shed crocodile tears at her funeral, shame on you. Shame on you. Her children are asking you to do one thing in her name: tell the president to stop doing this."

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

imagine telling yourself on january 6, 2021 that five years from now things would be so much worse

Pentagon will begin review of 'effectiveness' of women in ground combat positions www.npr.org/2026/01/06/n...

Eva Schloss, an Auschwitz survivor who dedicated her life to speaking out against prejudice and to preserving the legacy of her stepsister, Anne Frank, died on Saturday in London at 96. trib.al/NZEPlL6

And then there's this video, of officers talking with each other about what they just witnessed. "We didn't have a chance," one officer said. "[Trump] was still giving his speech, and I just had to leave, because he's basically just telling people to come down here and rip this place down."

"Take his helmet off!"

There's a persistent myth that the cops "let people in." It's nonsense. There's extensive evidence that rioters knew they were breaking the law. Here's one of the rioters making a call, knowing that she might need to be bailed out of jail.

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day. Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me. 🧵

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Here's how one man went from attending President Barack Obama’s inauguration to dying in the mob protesting Donald Trump’s election loss during the Capitol insurrection. (Published 2021 with @al.com)

This reminds me of white people in the antebellum South who had no slaves but supported the system because racial superiority was all they had. We have to be a gangster state because it makes a few losers feel cool

Dr. Janell Green Smith, a midwife who advocated for Black maternal health, dies of childbirth complications

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Since his time as a teacher, Governor Walz has led with decency and compassion. Today's decision reflects who he has always been - someone who puts Minnesotans first. I am proud to call him a friend and proud of all the work that has been done to make Minnesota the best place to raise a family.

in how many "law enforcement operations" are damn near 100 people killed?

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

No notes

Good lord they’re just going to colonize everything?

We cannot become numb to the outrage of this. The wife of the President’s Senior Advisor threatens a sovereign nation.

On X, a senior U.S. Justice Department official is promoting a post that praises colonization as “one of the greatest things that ever happened to the backwards parts of the world.”👇

Trump's face starts drooping as his eyes keep closing

Our leader and friend Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark, were murdered by an anti-abortion fanatic Trump supporter. Spreading these abhorrent lies is disgusting and irresponsible beyond description. There is no bottom to this cruelty. I don't know. Just. Love each other.

@maddow.bsky.social: “There are very few Americans right now who have any idea why the United States did this. If this was about drug trafficking then why did President Trump just pardon the former President of Honduras who was convicted of sending hundreds of tons of drugs into the US?”

former public radio reporter

Literally what the fuck. And don’t miss how they misspelled Hortman

Hey remember when they cut SNAP and Medicaid and made our premiums go up? It was all for OIL BILLIONAIRES! COOL

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

Minnesotans when a Metro Transit bus is stuck: Let’s get to work! Minnesotans when an ICE vehicle is stuck: 🍿

Trump’s Attack on Venezuela Is Illegal and Unwise www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/o...

NEW: The anonymous "researcher" in Nick Shirley's viral "fraud" video--treated as a concerned citizen on Fox News and elsewhere--is actually a Minnesota state lobbyist and political activist who worked with a GOP House staffer to provide Shirley info/ theintercept.com/2026/01/03/m...

ah yes, news focused on the concerns of the average american

We had a school shooting in our neighborhood in August. Today, someone tried to enter my kids' daycare in a quiet Mpls suburb Locals want stricter gun laws, the nutty mob of streamers gone, & ICE to stop taking neighbors w/o due process On each count, the federal gov keeps making our lives worse

I can't believe someone who won the FIFA Peace Prize would do this.

We have to impeach him.

Mike Lee, who fancies himself an intellectual, advances the premise that US agents can walk into the Venezuelan president’s rooms in Caracas at any time and exercise a plenary police power, and if anyone in that sovereign state might get in their way the military can just start blowing shit up.

This is 🦇 💩

Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

BAHAHAHAAHAHHAAHAHHAHAAHHA 💀 💀 💀
