Trump: “To all complaining Local Governments, let us know when you are ready, & we will be there — But, before we do so, you must use the word, “PLEASE.” Remember I stated to BEWARE — ICE, Border Patrol or, if necessary, our Military, will be extremely tough in protection of our Federal Property.“

At 4pm EST he posted this:

very fun to think that there are at least four votes for "the president can unilaterally rewrite a constitutional amendment"

MAGA people lining up wanting the taxpayers to give them money. Trump wants $10 billion. Lindsey wants $1 million. J6ers want money. Farmers want money. Of course CEOs want their contracts, subsidies & tariff waivers. It’s griftapalooza at taxpayer expense for the gangsters.

The only people who have died have been people exercising their constitutional rights while masked, armed federal paramilitaries have violently invaded an entire state to do a wholesale ethnic cleansing campaign.

At the most fundamental level, the Trump admin is still treating peaceful protesters as the aggressors and the heavily armed government militias as the victims, even though Homan, Miller, Noem, Trump have spent months torquing them into a frenzy of hate and telling them they can act with impunity.

"GOP is more interested in protecting a murderer than keeping the government open" is an easy message

This is the REAL Trump Derangement Syndrome, and boy is it deranged.

This has become a regular thing. Trump's account posts as if he's dysregulating into delirium all night, and we get no reporting on what this even looks like inside the White House. Unchecked madness and propaganda at levels history won't even be able to process.

This is why I have real fucking problem with blithe criticisms of "polarization" or "congressional dysfunction." We have a Republican member blaming his colleague for being attacked. The problem isn't polarization or dysfunction. It's the Republican Party.

Whistles should be banned instead of masked murdering out-of-control, lawless Proud Boy thugs with assault weapons, tear gas, arrested development, and anger issues. Fascist Fox News and its alumni trash are destroying our democracy.

Ignore the New York Times. Trump is *pretending* to "change course" in Minneapolis as a ruse. Little has changed on the streets. Trump is just feigning a change in tack to placate Congress members calling for hearings and to wait out the horrible PR nightmare ICE has created for the White House.

There were orders, and I followed them. What's the big deal.

The biggest POS in Congress. But keep in mind, he is only there because Trump endorsed him in the primary. All roads on all things terrible always lead to Trump. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

Could you post his number so we can call him ?

Trump is responsible for Bovino, Noem, and Miller. All of it

Trump backing down to public pressure is a good thing. But let's be clear. Noem, Miller, Bovino, etc. all followed his lead. He called protesters terrorists. He dehumanized Somali immigrants. He lied about Good and Pretti. He owns all of it. He'll also probably change his mind tomorrow.

🚨BREAKING: State election leaders and voting rights advocates across the country are blasting U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for exploiting the killing of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer to “blackmail” Minnesota into handing over access to its unredacted voter rolls.

Republicans come in three categories: PEDOPHILE - more and more are qualifying daily under this category PEDOPHILE FRIENDLY - those who actively cover for Pedophiles PEDOPHILE ENABLER - those who still support and offer aide and comfort to pedophiles

Maybe, just maybe, Putinism doesn't work here after all.

You mean like this?

When is corporate media going to start acknowledging that the Trump regime immigration agenda, which is *entirely unlike* what he actually campaigned on in 2024, is nothing more than the *war crime* of collective punishment against U.S. citizens who didn't vote for him that year?

Your reminder that Trump is explicitly named as having participated in raping someone in the Epstein files.

It's really too bad the United States Congress no longer exists.

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.” Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

When you explain it plainly, it’s hard not to see where we are as a country.

Alex Pretti's gun is like Renee Good's car: irrelevant to the central fact that they were murdered by ICE. ICE wants us to debate whether Pretti should have been carrying because that avoids the central fact. Pro-carry, anti-carry--that has as much to do w/ his murder as his fashion choices. Zero.

This is nonsensical even by the standard of Trump’s addled conspiracy theories

Mike Lawler needs a kick in the nuts.

Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

ICE spokesperson Marcos Charles: "My officers stayed with the child. They cared for him. Took him to get something to eat from a drive-thru restaurant and spent hours ensuring he was taken care of. Again, my officers did that, not his father ... his family refused to open the door and take him back"

I have an update on Greenland.

NATO & Denmark: We will give you the exact same security arrangements you have had for the past 40 years in Greenland. Trump: Total surrender! Art of the deal!

New in PN: American embarrassment. Global pariah. "Donald Trump sounded like a fascist dictator suffering from a brain bleed during his speech yesterday at Davos. It was a national embarrassment even by the lowly standards of modern American politics."

Wow! They don’t believe that they are constrained by any laws. When will the GQP say ENOUGH? Not until a dem is POTUS. apnews.com/article/ice-...

We still have gun regulations? I thought they’d all been repealed long ago. Whatever is left is completely ineffective at reducing gun violence so…whatever.

This was the day that Charlie would do his podcasts about how black people had it so good until MLK ruined everything with the civil rights movement.

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

There's never been a more diminished, insecure, petty monster with access to the nuclear codes.

Not very subtle messaging from a white supremacist racist and misogynist administration.

Harmett Dhillon absolutely knows this is bullshit, but is doing it because she’s a loyal member of a criminal regime who wants to be AG.

Trump is threatening Europe and still the Republicans do nothing. This must be what they want as well.

The sort of people who support ICE and the Trump Administration are fine with this because she’s black, because she’s a woman, because she‘s Somali-American, and because THEY are shitty people with shitty values from a shitty culture.

More lies.
