“If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.” – President Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)

A very embarrassing day for the world

"ICE AGENTS VERBALLY ASSAULTED AT MN RESTAURANT"

Nonprofits known as 527s can raise unlimited sums for political spending. Our database allows you to more easily search these organizations' finances. Check it out:

🚨BREAKING: In another major win for voters, a federal judge dismissed the DOJ’s lawsuit seeking California’s full voter registration list. The ruling marks the second such dismissal in the department's legal effort for access to states' private voter data. https://bit.ly/4qNSYye

It seems as though ICE has been instructed to escalate the violence to justify more violence, and to create propaganda to make us forget we outnumber them 10,000 to 1.

looks like donald trump used the military to do a smash and grab for his personal benefit

Stop saying we shouldn’t impeach Nazis because they’ll be replaced by someone worse. We should never stop fighting to remove these evil monsters. Don’t obey in advance.

So, @katiephang.bsky.social & I got together with almost 4,000 of you tonight for a pre-bedtime chat about street law, courage, our dogs & Katie’s school field trip chaperone duties at Disneyworld & it was just what I needed. There will be a recording at joycevance.substack.com

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

“They chased him, he got home and when we closed the door they shot him.” MN orgs/electeds say👇🏽this is the family calling the police with ICE outside, after a man was shot in the leg with a pregnant woman & child inside Different than DHS’ shovel story: www.instagram.com/reel/DThEdD8...

If the goon that shot Renee Good took a hood ride into a telephone pole I would believe he has internal injuries, but I saw him walk away after putting three bullets in Renee's head and he was completely uninjured and walking normally. Jonathan Ross was not hit, and must be tried for murder.

Happy Newt Year! youtu.be/YkFhMYGAdCY?...

Will Bezos stand up for his journalists??? I'm betting no.

The FBI searched a Washington Post reporter’s home as part of an investigation into classified material, people familiar with the matter said. It is exceedingly rare for federal agents to search a journalist’s home. trib.al/tKsg85n

What’s going on in Minnesota didn’t even get one minute of coverage on the Chicago local 10pm news.

I’ve been told my whole life that in the US the trade-off for not having public healthcare is timelier and better care. But I need to see a rheumatologist - six months’ wait. A neurologist- same thing. Like what the fuck? Another broken promise.

It’s extremely important we are constantly aware that Trump wants the protests to become violent so he can call for the Insurrection Act and enforce Marshall Law throughout the country. DO NOT give Trump this satisfaction. Don’t let him bait you!

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...

Articles of Impeachments are not a waste of time. They provide official records, along with extensive contemporaneous evidence which can be used against Trump and his cabinet members WHEN they eventually face criminal prosecutions..

Europe has more than proven Putin is the key figure ramping-up military aggression and rejecting all peace proposals. When asked why peace talks have not yet resolved the conflict, Agent Krasnov responded: "Zelensky"!

I have told my sons that they are not under any circumstances to take part in massacres, and that the news of massacres of enemies is not to fill them with satisfaction or glee.

🚨"This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!" -furious Minneapolis resident tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social after ICE shot a man in the leg tonight. LIVE NOW ⬇️

Yes!

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning. I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

McBride: Look, people are clutching their pearls at this guy yelling something at the president. They are more offended by a worker standing up to the president and calling him out for his hypocrisy than they are by the president trying to cover up for a human trafficking ring

The police, just like the GOP, ceded their power and invited the wolf through the door. And now that it's chowing down, they have "concerns". www.rawstory.com/ice-shooting...

12/28/2025- 2025: The Year in Cartoons www.timesfreepress.com/news/2025/de...

For some reason, I'm reminded of this cartoon I drew back in early March, 2025-

At the Senate hearing on abortion pills, @murray.senate.gov blasts GOP chair Cassidy for failing to hold RFK Jr. accountable as promised: "Wasn't he supposed to be here quarterly? Wasn't he supposed to leave the vaccine schedule alone? And isn't this committee supposed to be conducting oversight?”

Europe having to perform military exercises against their primary threat, the United States.

We need to campaign just as hard for increased voter access as we do for candidates we like.

Russia offers to help the U.S. Military sink NATO ships If this doesn’t convince Repubs something is terribly wrong, nothing will

At least Obama's hypothetical Death Panels would have decided who deserved to die based on a rubric more complicated than "did they just piss off a high school dropout armed by the state"

Make no mistake, Trump's "Fuck you" was to all of us.

It's telling that the GOP is able to take libertarians for granted as supporters. Sure sign of how libertarians don't take their own damn values seriously and are so ready to compromise on them.

Maybe a fatal flaw of the second amendment (apart from the day-to-day death and destruction) is that people who bear military-grade arms are more likely to join a militia attacking the state than one defending it. Aware this isn’t a new thought.

Please, @colorado.gov, DON'T CAVE TO TRUMP'S PRESSURE FOR CLEMENCY FOR TINA PETERS. Giving in to bullies only encourages them to strong arm MORE. Don't contribute to the problem! Ms. Peters earned her sentence. Don't spit in the face of the jury! Don't spit on the American system of Justice.

PLEASE SIGN OUR Change.org PETITION👇, PROTEST, TEXT & CALL Congress to impeach & convict #Trump, the pathologically lying, racist #MAGA demagogue con artist & “Above the Law” wannabe King. #StrongerTogether #UnitedWeStand www.change.org/p/with-this-... TYVM @whitehouse.senate.gov #BlueCrew

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade $163 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

Craig: "In my district, 2 days ago a special ed teacher pulled into her school parking lot, her windows were smashed, she was taken & detained for 12 hours. I've never seen such an out of control agency. That's why as soon as I leave, I'm joining a group to file articles of impeachment against Noem"

A ban on police face coverings has been one of the most talked about policy proposals in the first two days of Washington’s legislative session, with lead lawmakers and the governor lining up in support. washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/01/13/p...

How is it possible that the president of the United States proposes an invasion of a NATO territory & there is no immediate impeachment? Did the democratic system in the US completely collapse? I don't think it’s any sort of wild over exaggeration to say they are essentially now a failed democracy.
