Trump and his family have pocketed more than $1.8 billion in cash and gifts since his reelection. He said he would usher in a "New Golden Age" for America, but one year into his second term, he's only ushered in a new golden age for his own wallet.

The 15 richest people in America saw their collective wealth jump nearly $1 trillion during Trump's year back in office. Many of them were standing alongside Trump at his inauguration one year ago today. How are you doing?

Democrats need to grow a spine and refuse any cooperation with Trump and Republicans until he stands down on Greenland and stops threatening our neighbors.

Trump promised to lower costs on Day One of his presidency. It’s been 365 days since Day One and families are struggling to stay afloat in Trump’s tariff-ravaged economy. Government by the billionaires is systematically crushing the middle class.

Markets reaction to Trump tariff threats and the Bond sell-off accelerates.

We could literally have a financial collapse. This would be worse than the great depression and the isolation would be more severe. Don’t let people tell you you’re overreacting.

ICE agents raided the home belonging to a Hmong family in St. Paul and brought out a grandfather, a U.S. citizen, into the frigid Sunday air wearing just underwear, a blanket & a pair of Crocs. Armed ICE agents broke down the door of his home without a valid warrant. www.bing.com/videos/river...

@whitehouse.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social : Please !!!

We must make it our mission to make sure Jon Ossoff is reelected.

And just for clarity, "bad guys" for Trump are any American who dares to disagree with him...

ICE is reportedly incentivizing its agents with financial rewards to hit a 3,000 arrests-per-day quota, even if those they detain are later released. Remember this as Trump's thugs terrorize Minneapolis. https://www.wsj.com/us-news/the-standoff-that-has-turned-minnesota-into-a-tinderbox-a3a7e672

8/ Remember when Elon ordered the shut down of Starlink? That’s an example of state-level power. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

“[A] challenge to American hegemony paired with advances in tech set the stage for… companies that supply core infrastructure” to “rise to state-level power themselves…”—published in 2024 by American Reformer whose board includes Thiel ally Chris Buskirk, JD Vance’s Rockbridge Network co-founder 2/

The end of American hegemony presents an opportunity for the “Tech Bros” to step in to “help” and thereby achieve the state-level power they have long craved. Thread. 1/

Damn. Carney is direct, articulate & unafraid to call a spade a spade.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Huge mistake by Mamdani to say clearly that a bad thing is bad. He should first triangulate the message and then remove every aspect that might offend Republicans. That's the savvy Dem consultant way.

“We are facing a tsunami of hate from our own federal government,” Abdikarim Khasim, ​“We’re going to shut it down on the 23rd. We’re going to overcome this.” JANUARY 23rd is Shutdown Day. A chance to show the world we're not all like this. #Solidarity inthesetimes.com/article/minn...

Trump wants the rich to be richer, unions to be weaker, and everyone else to be easier to exploit. He's not ushering in a New Golden Age. He's taking us back to the Gilded Age. This couldn't be clearer one year into his second term in office.

Barlow, Ostrom, Marsh are not separate thinkers. Barlow named the moral architecture of a digital commons. Ostrom mapped the practical rules that allow commons to endure. Marsh articulates how coordination scales without coercion. #3E #BindingChaos #WEF #Davos medium.com/@gayatrirosh...

I want to share with you a piece from a German documentarian on the chilling parallels between ICE and Hitler’s Brown Shirts (reproduced with his permission). Please read and share. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-ice-and-hitlers-brown-shirts

Spot on:

A country that actually takes action when a mass murder takes place (vs. the U.S. BS "thoughts & prayers"): c.newsnow.co.uk/A/1300946200...

Putin is goading Trump on. Knows exactly how to motivate him -- slavishly praise him / tell him he will go down as the world's greatest leader ever if he successfully invades & annexes Greenland -- appeal to Trump's psychopathic bottomless overriding ego.

JFC -- He is stark raving CRAZY -- 25th Amendment NOW!! @whitehouse.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov

Meanwhile

They’ll shout “protect the children” in public—then quietly defend pedophiles when power, money, or politics are on the line. They weaponize “save the children” while shielding pedophiles in their own ranks.

Trump lets another drug trafficker out of prison because his father happens to be a Republican member of Congress.

They're investigating the victim's wife, the victim's friends, the mayor and the governor too, but no, they're not even going to glance in the direction of the murderer.

So what the F is being done ???

This is Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales She is 22 years old and has a U.S. birth certificate ICE detained her for -25 days- and now is being forced to wear an ankle monitor by ICE because they question her citizenship status

Today's racist ICE lawyer James Rodden was exposed for running a white-supremacist X account posting “Migrants’ are all criminals,” & praising Hitler. He was pulled from court schedules & a review was promised within 120 days. It never happened. Now Rodden is back, badge on, no explanation given.

Trump cannot continue as our leader. Republican Congressional Members need to fulfill their constitutional responsibilities! finance.yahoo.com/news/stocks-...

THIS !!!!!

Sen. Markwayne Mullin bought up to $50K each in Raytheon stock (RTX) & Chevron (CVX) just days before the U.S. strike on Venezuela— Mullin sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee — I’m sure it’s just a coincidence..

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority” He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.
