Reform's London mayoral candidate has promised “all out war” on crime in London, but has had three businesses struck off for failing to comply with companies law leftfootforward.org/2026/01/refo...

Hard to overstate what a remarkable statement this is from a Republican senator — even a retiring one — accusing thte Trump White House of weaponizing DOJ to control the Fed: "It is now the independence and credibility of the Department of Justice that are in question."

Seriously Why was Ross allowed on patrol ?

As you can see from this video, Renee Nicole Good clearly turned her wheels AWAY from ICE Agent Jonathan Ross prior to him killing her. Who the hell says "FUCKING BITCH" after shooting her in the head three times??

New footage leaked of Renee Good murder. This is critical for you to know as you watch it.

This kind of thing is a fairly routine occurrence at Assisted Living Facilities.

Mexico’s doctrine in the case of war with the US is not to win but to make sure it goes down with them too. If Trump forces México’s hand into a conflict, it’ll be death the likes the United States has never experienced.

"This was a family that could've been like mine" -- Philip Bump breaks down crying on MS NOW when talking about the stuffed animals in Renee Good's car when she was killed

@robinkelly.house.gov posted this statement. I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing.

Excellent, damning analysis of the video of the killing of Ms Good, from the NYT, including a quick debunking of the “evidence” the President showed other Times reporters last night. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

We are a country whose Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, gives our own presidents immunity for crimes committed while in office, but we will prosecute presidents of other countries for alleged crimes and invade them to execute arrest warrants.

Himes: "I was delighted to hear that Tom Cotton, chairmen of the Senate Intel Committee, has been in regular contact with the admin. I've had zero outreach and no D I'm aware of has. So apparently we're now in a world where the legal obligation to keep Congress informed only applies to your party."

This new war is not only illegal, reckless and deeply corrupt, it is the latest in a series of increasingly desperate distractions from the EPSTEIN Files. #ImpeachAndConvict47NOW

The US is now responsible for the governance of Venezuela. Toppling the regime of a smaller country is always the easy part. The hard part is what comes after. Neo-cons always expect a pro-US nirvana. It rarely works out. But I suppose the oil companies can seize some assets.

If Nigel Farage, GB News and Tommy Robinson really cared about the safety of women then they'd leave twitter. I'll wait.

"We're supposed to believe that because she is facing threats, she needs to be in a less secure facility, and she needs to be given all sorts of privileges...including reportedly a puppy," @weissmann.substack.com says of Ghislaine Maxwell. "This just does not pass the straight face test."

In a chilling reminder that the geopolitical holiday truce is a myth, Poland scrambled fighter jets in the early hours of Christmas morning to intercept a Russian reconnaissance aircraft flying dangerously close to its border.

Merry Christmas! Michelle and I hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with light and joy.

This is what's known as "consciousness of guilt"

Garcia: They are, on one hand, putting names of survivors in these documents that are not redacted. And in these same documents, they're taking extra time and being extra careful to redact the names of the coconspirators

Since I’m getting “what did I miss” from alot, Paramount Plus, owner of CBS spiked the El Salvador CECOT prison story yesterday on 60 minutes because it made the White House look bad. Cancel paramount plus Censorship. Bari Weiss

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin model—using the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in return…

AP: At least 16 files have disappeared from the DOJ webpage for documents related to Jeffrey Epstein with zero explanation or notice to the public apnews.com/article/rele...

First, Trump and Bondi pledged to release the files. Then Bondi gave ridiculous binders to ridiculous people. Then Trump/Bondi said no more files. Then Johnson refused to swear in Grijalva for months to block the bill. When it finally becomes law, they release less than 1%.
