Here’s Dmitriev.. Putin’s envoy and negotiator with direct contact to Witkoff and Kushner. Also, head of Putin’s sovereign fund. Also, direct contact to Luna. PS I’m covering Davos, so you will get the real coverage beyond the headlines.

WATCH: “How many people with domestic violence convictions are running around, with guns, in our cities, terrorizing people?” Journalist @laurajedeed.bsky.social was hired as an ICE officer after a 6 minute interview, despite not having completed a background check.

This is actually demonic & should strike as corrosive to the souls of anyone who considers themselves American. It’s the most dishonorable act imaginable. It’s beyond disgusting.

Annnnnddddd St Paul schools are closing next week for 2 days to prepare for virtual learning options.

"Federal agents allegedly drive off with baby in car after father detained in Cypress Park raid."

I'm sorry they ran off with the kid's phone and sold it to one of those machines in the supermarket?

Just in: The Trump administration sent hundreds of letters Tuesday terminating federal grants supporting mental health and drug addiction services.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Some people seem convinced anything other than "It's over, there is no way to stop these fascists" is naive and ignorant. But please remember: While the people who control the levers of state power are lawless and cruel, they are not omnipotent. Obscuring that distinction is an act of defeatism.

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

⚠️Former Fed Chairs Greenspan, Bernanke, and Yellen issue joint statement: “The Federal Reserve's independence and the public's perception of that independence are critical for economic performance…The reported criminal inquiry into…Powell is an unprecedented attempt…to undermine that independence.”

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

once again shoutout to every dipshit who insisted it was hysterical to talk about trump and white supremacy in the same breath www.rawstory.com/trump-267487...

If you listen to the agents, or read their reports, they absolutely believe your words are actual violence. Disrespect is violence.

Five armed masked federal agents to guard a Target restroom while Greg Bovino uses the facilities. A scene equally at home in authoritarian regimes and comedies about authoritarian regimes

hi, political philosopher here! this is not funny, central banks only do this when they're in extreme distress

Trump literally saying “nothing can stop me” here, since he has neither morality nor a functioning mind

Renee Nicole Good was a 37-year-old wife and mother of three children who loved to sing and studied creative writing. We will not sit by while violence goes unanswered and our communities are terrorized. Please join us this weekend to say ICE Out For Good.

interesting! here's a video i took yesterday of federal agents ramming community members with their car

This was also what Charles Manson was saying before his arrest. Almost word for word.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.

NYT: “In the last 4 months, immigration officers fired on at least 9 people in 5 states + D.C., all while in their vehicles. In each case, officials claimed the agents fired in self-defense, fearing they’d be struck by the vehicle. At least 1 other died.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/u...

Note: agents on scene here insist they have their own medics. None are seen attending to the victim. They did this in Chicago, too—allegedly had assigned medics traveling with certain teams. One of them we identified (Timothy Donahue) also pointed his gun at civilians.

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

Trump: "I single-handedly ENDED 8 WARS, and Norway, a NATO Member, foolishly chose not to give me the Noble Peace Prize. But that doesn’t matter! What does matter is that I saved Millions of Lives ... I DOUBT NATO WOULD BE THERE FOR US IF WE REALLY NEEDED THEM."

Now the Venezuelan regime has issued an emergency order telling police to “immediately search and capture” anyone who supports “the armed attack by the United States” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

Listen to the panic of this moment as #ICE shoots into her car with kids inside. How can anyone think that this is acceptable? It's absolutely repugnant. #ICELawlessness is happening again & again. Just about every attack is being done without warrants on innocent people by anonymous thugs.

5,000 people have died of the flu so far this season !!!

🚨BREAKING: DOJ admits it has only released 12,285 documents required by Epstein Files Transparency Act. More than 2 million documents still need to be reviewed/released. DOJ is in violation of federal law that required release by Dec. 19. More from Democracy Docket in am. www.democracydocket.com

I think the understandable tendency has been to treat this as a tasteless joke, but in light of all we've seen to date, we need to take seriously the possibility that they may be insane enough to try to seize the territory of a peaceful ally by force for... no real reason.

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

NEW: More than 300 judges — including 33 appointed by Trump himself — have now rebuffed the Trump administration’s bid to dramatically expand efforts to lock people up while they fight deportation. www.politico.com/news/2026/01/05/trump-administration-immigrants-mandatory-detention-00709494

Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead

💯

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.

they’re trying to turn everyone into the joker reason.com/2025/12/31/d...

So it increasingly appears Trump just made up the idea that he was in charge of Venezuela. Made it up. Confabulated it. Confirming he is not aware of what is happening around him, and should no longer be in this job. Can't walk this one back peeps.

truly brain-breaking to watch a general describe the mechanics of a coup while the president struggles to stay awake in the background

so x dot com’s ai generated CSAM and they admitted it may violate US law and … i haven’t seen in anyone in power say much at all or call to stop using the platform

They want to wipe out almost a third of the country. It’s got nothing to do with illegal immigration. It’s white nationalism pure and simple. They’re fascists, and there’s no reason to doubt it.

Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance’s friend & ideological influence, ended 2025 by claiming “only Hitler spoke the truth” about “too many subjects” & “Hitler was a genius.” Extremism isn’t fringe on the right. Once marginal online extremists like Yarvin are influential at the highest levels of government.

This ICE post is a reference to a Rhodesian Army recruiting poster ("Be A Man Among Men") that's very popular with white supremacists.
