In other words, to quote Hegseth’s favorite saying: FAFO.

With bipartisan support, it’s time to end the damaging Trump tariff regime on Canada. Canada is our neighbor, our ally, our friend. Our Great Lakes regional economy is the third largest in the world, and like no other. Let's strengthen our economy, and make life affordable again.

⚡️ NEW MEXICO SENATE UPDATE Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D) will face no Republican opponent in his re-election bid after his GOP challenger was disqualified for failing to meet ballot requirements.

The volume & geographic distribution of protest nationwide during year 1 of Trump's second term was extraordinary.

One more quick thread, and then I'm getting out of here to walk my dog in the sun. I think a lot about the authoritarian personality. I won't start going on about that because this thread would last forever, but I just want to say one thing about it.

This was totally fun! A nice break from my usual beat.

Trump looks like he's about to fall asleep standing behind Zeldin

Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, along with more than half of the county’s commissioners, have called on Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neil Burke to file charges against federal immigration agents involved in shootings that took place last year in the Chicago area.

From @hcrichardson.bsky.social & Senator Ron Widen: We must stop not only Trump and ICE - We must stop Palantir and Thiel too. Our personal information is being used against us! .https://youtube.com/shorts/tpI31HFwl7g?si=ptSPyclCHmYoA6fv

I just quote posted a 🧵 on the mess w/CBP being given a laser weapon by Hegseth to try out for their operations along the southern border. There are a couple of different reasons this was both bad overall & just not a very smart thing to do. 1/

The cartoon that appeared this week on the front page of France’s most influential national newspaper, Le Monde Brilliant work by the cartoonist, Guffo.

To the contrary, no one has any problem with warehouses. The problem is with concentration camps.

in terms of the 'voters trust Rs to handle immigration over Ds' line, 2 points: 1. R advantage has been cut by half/two-thirds since 2024. 2. Public clearly disagrees with Trump on enforcement. Task for Dems is giving voters a coherent alt, substack.com/@gelliottmor...

Not sure if anyone has noticed a pattern that everything this administration does seems to benefit Moscow: weaken alliance credibility and deterrence and signal unpredictability.

In which Jeffrey Epstein, who laundered money for the Russians, explains how Donald Trump was doing exactly the same thing, and how this accounts for most of his wealth.

We should focus on the fact that when names surface of people deeply enmeshed in Epstein pedophile world in the UK, Italy, Slovakia, Canada, they are forced to resign public office in shame. When when names surface in the US, absolutely nothing happens, because they are protected by Trump.

The largest GOP county in the US, Tarrant Co, TX, suddenly turns blue. And it isn't even close.

That James Hammond was an ardent defender of slavery & molester of his own nieces should illustrate that it's a short distance from attacking minorities in Minnesota to participating in a trafficking operation with Jeffrey Epstein. Trump doesn't care about anyone but himself!

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis. snyder.substack.com/p/ethnic-cle...

The party of small government now proposes marriage camps! Project 2025 at work👇🙄

Black History is American History. Republican extremists want to whitewash our struggle, our journey and our substantial contributions to the nation. We will never let that happen.

The total volume of materials in the Epstein files about influencing UK politics through the Tory Party is amazing. Here's Bannon claiming he organized the fall of PM Theresa May.

Johnson used the last shutdown as an excuse not to swear in a new Dem representative. We are in a shutdown now, so we will see what happens tomorrow.

When Republicans refer to "criminal illegal aliens," they mean everyone who is here on an asylum claim is a criminal. Latino voters who flipped to Trump in 2024 didn't quite get that. They do now. Also, many of the “criminal records” are for things like driving with no license & other misdemeanors.

when trump said in 2024 that America was going to enter a new "golden age," he meant for himself

That blue bunny hat and the Spiderman backpack are going to be lasting symbols of this era.

After a magistrate judge left AG Pam Bondi furious by rejecting a criminal complaint against Lemon on January 18, she tried to get her revenge Friday morning A few hours later, the DOJ’s case is falling apart as prosecutors in Minnesota and LA refuse to get involved. trib.al/YCHeg20

If you believe in American democracy, this is a very good time to stand up for the free press

This was posted in the new Epstein files release and removed about 20 mins later. Wonder why that is.

This new file released appears to show Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick discussing visiting Epstein's island in 2012. Lutnick previously claimed that he cut off ties around 2005 with Epstein after being revolted by him.

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

They are straight up killing the poorest Americans. Every charity in town that gets a government grant is being destroyed. They gutted EBT and Medicaid. Your student debt payment is going to triple. But Trump wants to loot $10 billion of YOUR TAX DOLLARS.

Donald Trump is now arresting journalists. The President is trampling all over the Constitution. Today, he's attacking the First Amendment and the freedom of press. Tomorrow, your rights could be next.

#Pinks #PtoudBlue I’m trying to find out why some of the victim’s names and personal identifying info was not redacted. The whole time they said they were protecting the women and now they release their names?!? Also they are withholding 50% of the files. www.bbc.com/news/live/cv...

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill has put 100,000 Massachusetts residents at imminent risk of losing food assistance. It’s a betrayal of their promise to put America first and a slap in the face to the families they swore they would fight for.

"Also note that MS NOW’s Carol Leonnig is reporting that career prosecutors in Minnesota and Los Angeles refused to be involved in the prosecution of Lemon" So who presented this to a grand jury, in criminal violation of the First Amendment? Lindsey Halligan?

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and Donald Trump’s other lackeys should find lawyers because they must be held responsible for the killings and the damage they’ve done to our country.

The DOJ just took down pages with detailed descriptions of Trump engaged in child rape and other pedophilia. We don't know if they have been corroborated, but we already know this DOJ will deny everything on behalf of their client.

George Will says that every statement issued by DHS must be presumed to be a lie. Here's a great example: a press release about its new concentration camps saying they are not mega warehouses when that, indeed, is precisely what they are.

Email from Jeffrey Epstein: "supposedly a girl said that donal= had sex with her at my house when she was underage.. =C2 . she said she has a witness. in 1993"

"The Supreme Court is no different, an equally corrupt institution operating outside the constitutional order. We have to grapple with its decisions just as we have to grapple Trump’s actions. But that doesn’t make them real. They can’t make two plus two equal five anymore than anyone else can."

CNN employees can’t understand why Scott Jennings isn't required to adhere to the network’s editorial and ethics standards which are b binding on them and other opinion journalists. CNN can't explain why. www.thedailybeast.com/cnn-boss-con...

Apologies, I cited the wrong number. It’s actually 15 states that Trump won where his approval rating is underwater now. And 31 GOP-held House districts substack.com/profile/4791...

Direct the vitriol at congressional Republicans in power refusing to stop this. bsky.app/profile/gell...

Correct. They are hanging their hat (or trying to) on 18 U.S.C. 111 as justification for detaining and arresting people. Apart from requiring force, the statute states that the federal officer is engaged in official duties. So what was the official function that is supposedly being impeded?
