REPORTER: The Capital Planning Commission is concerned the 89,000 square foot ballroom is going to dwarf the rest of the rest of the WH. Do you worry about that? TRUMP: No no. People love the ballroom. We need it. If we would've had the ballroom today, we could've had all the oil companies there.

I'm with Tim.

Imagine being this bad of a person. Granted, it’s probably a requirement for being married to Stephen Miller, but what a shit-tier human being you have to be in order to say something like this.

The US Department of Agriculture suspends all federal funding to Minnesota, effective immediately.

When I stepped away from social media this week, I caught up on the new season of FALLOUT, which is all about a wealthy weirdo, one who works in tech and is obsessed with a paranoid vision of eugenics, bringing about the end of the world. So that was a nice change of pace.

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you." That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

Leah doesn’t like slow songs but I dig this. You decide.

So, correct me if I’m wrong, but all you have to do to abduct a woman now is dress in camo, cover your face and have a gun and we have to submit or risk death? How are we supposed to know if you’re ICE or not?

If fewer Americans had voted for Trump, Renee Good would be alive and caring for her child today. No matter what lies Trump and his propagandists spread, no matter what nonsense the media prints, no matter what conspiracies MAGA invents, that remains manifestly true.

Vance’s epically shameful response to the murder of Renee Good should kill any chance that he’s considered a viable 2028 candidate, but he thinks it’s what makes him viable.

Weird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.

The jobs report is in. What a disaster.

Important: Minneapolis killing should lead Dems to draw a much harder line against *any* ICE funding in budget talks, Swalwell/Goldman agree. "I am not going to pay masked thugs to shoot moms in the face. Period," Swalwell says. A Dem House should be for defunding. newrepublic.com/article/2051...

Please stop and read this statement from Renee Good's wife.

Why wouldn't the people of Greenland want to be a part of *gestures all around* this?

The case involved Ross punching out a man's window and tasing him while he attempted to drive away; the man shook him off his car, giving Ross injuries that required 33 stitches. The man called 911 to report that he'd been assaulted by ICE and was later convicted of assault on a federal officer.

Not everyone believed me when I wrote that Trump wants Greenland becuase it would make him feel important, but that's what he told the NYT: When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success" www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

Going to steal my doctor's medical school diploma at gunpoint, then open a cardiology practice.

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis strongly criticized White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller’s recent comments suggesting the US should take control of Greenland, calling the remarks “amateurish” and “absurd,” and urging President Donald Trump to fire people who give that kind of advice.

Trump is planning even more insane renovations to the White House www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

If you object to ICE, you’re the enemy. Read the details of the Stephen Miller interview you may have missed earlier this week. They’re important. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

🧐Trump saying Venezuelan oil will be sold by the US, under his direction, with the revenue placed in private banks, on the same day his family crypto scam, World Liberty Financial, files to become… wait for it… a private bank.

🤷🏼

there needs to be a sex offender registry but for ice guys. you should have to go door to door when you move to a new area and inform your neighbors that you used to be an ice guy. they shouldn't be allowed with 500 feet of a school

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

BREAKING: The Hennepin County District Attorney's office says they have jurisdiction to charge the ICE agent involved in the fatal Minneapolis shooting.

Congratulations to John Roberts bsky.app/profile/larr...

I am 100% uninterested in sharing a society with the freaks responsible for this. I don't want to be ruled by them. I don't want to compete with them in elections. I don't want to do business with them. I don't want my kid around their kids.

Solid reporting in @theatlantic.com about our real president - Stephen Miller - and how he is running things, operating with no oversight or pushback. He is a bad, bad person. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Another shooting by a border agent. This time in Portland. Two wounded. katu.com/news/local/i...

tfw you see out of context images of kitted out paramilitary guys firing tear gas at a large protest and you aren't sure whether they're coming from the US or Iran

Clear-eyed, fact-based, and written to explain to normies. No “both sidesing.” No “Trump officials disagree.” No gaslighting that what we can see with our own eyes might not be true. This is journalism. Well done, @people.com

Luckovich is a national treasure.

Wow.

Why is the app store still carrying X?

Trump on Taiwan. If any other president of any party had said this, congressional Republicans would be flipping out.

This is appalling.

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

👀

The VP is fundamentally a fake lawyer

Today was a hard day. Be kind to yourself and each other. Love you guys.

This guy is no less evil than Tucker, but he is much dumber. And for that I'm grateful. He has a rock tumbler where a head should be. He is a caveman with a staff that reads him 4chan like a lullaby.

Didn’t realize this had published, given everything else today, but wrote about an underappreciated element of Trump’s Greenland obsession: climate change. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

BBC is reporting that the same ICE officer who murdered Renee Good was involved in another violent incident in June.

More shocking video from this dark day….

Dems are still approaching this wrong. I just saw a BBC host ask a state senator if Tim Walz should call out the National Guard. He says, "No, because Minnesotans know how to protest peacefully." THAT'S NOT WHO THE GUARD IS FOR. THE GUARD IS TO PROTECT THE PROTESTERS FROM LAWLESS FEDERAL AGENTS.

This is MAGA, folks.

Five words that should be canon in this awful moment in US history: Compliance will not save you.

US government killing Americans in broad daylight, kidnapping foreign leaders, threatening allied territories and dictating corporate capital returns. But “invest in America.” 🤡
