KRUGMAN: “.. How did a great, sophisticated nation, one of the world’s longest-standing republics, end up so fragile that it can be undone by one man’s dementia?” @pkrugman.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Canadian PM Carney: Canada and the United States have built a remarkable partnership in the economy, in security, and in rich cultural exchange. But Canada doesn’t live because of the United States. Canada thrives because we are Canadian.

Canadian soldiers returning from Afghanistan after “doing nothing for the USA.” Fuck YOU Donald Trump! 🤬

That's really funny, Donald. A sadistic sociopath who is a flaming idiot to boot. Cannot even understand global warming. Donald could care less, he is dry, warm, and well fed on the taxpayers dime. Unlike the Americans in the path of the storm. There are no words for how much I hate him 🤬

All the NATO soldiers who died helping the USA. Fuck you Trump!

The late-night hosts questioned the relevance of the old rule in an era where broadcast TV viewership is declining and labeled it as a bid to stifle their speech.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket. He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War. Notice the suppressors 1/2

OK, its not a question of whether the phone is compromised. If you are the spy chief of a major country's intelligence service and your people have not compromised this phone, you should resign and find some other line of work

Singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams tapped into America's current period of struggle on her latest album, a collection of protest songs called "World's Gone Wrong." n.pr/4jVfYsN

Soulless monsters.

Today, Minnesota is shutting down in solidarity. It could be a model for what the nation as a whole does in coming months, to repudiate the Trump dictatorship. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/minnesotas-general-strike-and-americas

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Thank you @therealjackhopkins.bsky.social

I've covered a lot of protests and resistance movements of various kinds in my days on this earth -- I've never seen anything quite like this epic day in Minneapolis today. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/u...

Update: Renée Fleming is the latest to say they will not perform at the Kennedy Center.

Shuler: The economy isn’t working for working people right now. We have inequality at its highest levels. People are working harder and harder for less. They’re working two and three jobs just to keep up. In the U.S., 40 percent of workers do not have $400 for an emergency Now put AI on top of that

He probably thought they just spoke “Swiss.”

It was a volatile week for trans-Atlantic relations, marked by President Trump statements that unsettled global markets and strained ties with U.S. allies — on topics ranging from Greenland to Gaza. n.pr/45NVfl5

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

Shuler: So I think your question about augmentation versus replacement is the big question we have. If we can all agree that this is about making our jobs better, safer, easier, and more productive, then we’re all in. But if you’re looking to de-skill, dehumanize, and replace workers…

Meanwhile Trump pardoned an actual cocaine trafficking former president of Honduras.

Found this photo of Bradder and me showing off our street style on the way into The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Don't we look dashing?

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

Don’t believe Trump’s absurd lies that the U.S. needs to own Greenland for “national security” reasons. The real reason is to enrich his donors and allies. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/23/greenland-data-center-trump-greenmet.html

“I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention…” — JD Vance on why he amplified false claims about Haitians eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.

Just one of the many important scoops in this new reporting from Carol Leonnig and Ken Dilanian: www.ms.now/news/doj-sou...

Are we paying attention yet, America?

“This is a small enough city where we’re pretty tight-knit,” he said. “It’s not going to go well here for this type of enforcement: people are going to record, people are going to protest peacefully.” “We care about our community members here.” www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/h...

“When I say bush league, I mean bush league,” Joyce said. “We don’t do that as law enforcement officers.” www.pressherald.com/2026/01/22/c...

Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27.5M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469. Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by. It's past time Walmart paid them a living wage.

0 days without being an international embarrassment.

The FBI agent who initially began working with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to investigate the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good has resigned. Soon after the agent opened the civil rights investigation, she was ordered to reclassify it as a probe into an assault on the officer.

This is a dangerous shift in policy that helps Putin's goals.
