It’s important to note that even though the importers jacked up prices on the American consumer, it’s the corporations that get these refunds. Not the consumers. So the rich, as always, will get richer while American consumers will have paid the price. END/

The Republican Party has shown, for decades, that it no more cares about America's military than it cares about law and order, economic conservatism, or family values. With every Republican administration, benefits for veterans get slashed or ended. /1

It was never about immigrants just like it was never about bathrooms or water fountains. It was always about forcing obedience, silence, submission, and fear. The threat of being taken to a camp or killed for dissent is intentional. #ProveMeWrongMAGA

MILLIONAIRES & BILLIONAIRES: “Tax the super rich” “Richest 1% own more than 95% of 🌎… 400 millionaires & billionaires urge higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy— warn extreme concentrations of💰distort democracy, deepen inequality, accelerate instability.” timetowin.world

You cant buy a house because our president is really mad he didn’t get a Nobel peace prize and so he is threatening Greenland.

The current occupant of the White House is an enemy of the country, and so is every person who supports him. The list of ways that he has harmed this country is miles long, contrasted with the positive impacts he has made, which is nothing more than a blank sheet of paper. #ImpeachTrumpNow

In case you got distracted

BREAKING: Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will attend the Supreme Court's hearing on Trump's attempted firing of Fed governor Lisa Cook, an unusual show of support by the central bank chair.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov There is nothing legal about this. Cut all funding for DHS, now!

this Greenland shit is fucking insane. it’s fucking insane. the fact that anyone is humoring him is fucking insane. the biggest problem in the world today is that nobody is taking the president seriously for the fucking psychopath he is. this isn’t all some fucking joke

NJ people - call his office and tell him in no uncertain terms he should absolutely sign the bills. (609) 292-6000

America and the world has to come to grips with the fact that there is no actual president of the United States, but rather a traitorous regime hell bent on destroying America and western democracy, in order to prop up the criminal government of Putin and likely other dictators. Rubicon crossed.

I've seen reports that Ukraine/France suspected @realDonaldTrump of passing classified information to Putin. They set up a test. They fed us false information - and then it showed up in Russia. Donald Trump is a traitor.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

“Russian forces are continuing to suffer losses in the war of aggression against Ukraine, losing 2,030 troops killed and wounded and more than 300 pieces of weapons and military equipment over the past 24 hours alone.“ They had been losing about 1,300 per day. This is quite a jump.

Thousands of people protesting throughout Denmark showing solidarity with Greenland and standing against the fascist MAGA regime. Couldn’t be prouder seeing this.

Reminder: Republicans in Congress could end this tomorrow. Vote them all out.

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

No one will ever believe a word Michael Cohen says again. He's lying if his mouth is open.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

Breaking on MS NOW: A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking federal agents from targeting peaceful protesters.

Literally begging for help to save civilian lives from being murdered while Trump blames Ukraine, threatens Greenland, plays golf for the next 4 days, and Witkoff and Kushner negotiate deals with Putin.

Her father faced bribery charges. She donated $2.5M to a pro-Trump Super PAC. Trump's Justice Department gave her father a lenient deal, overruling prosecutors. She gave another $1M. Now Trump has pardoned her dad. @kenvogel.bsky.social @susannecraignyt.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/01/16/u...

Want to know what the Insurrection Act really allows? Want to know why martial law isn’t simply “declared”? This is a must watch. Major kudos to @muellershewrote.com and @stevevladeck.bsky.social! youtu.be/O9msTpxqzWY?...

Wow! Yay! The Senate just rejected Trump’s proposed science cuts, voting 82–15 to boost funding for NOAA, NASA, and the NSF. The bill already passed the House 397–28. Strong bipartisan support for science still exists.

There are many tactics Republicans can & may employ to try to depress voter turnout and intimidate voters. That said, voter turnout can also be depressed by people preemptively declaring the election is rigged. It takes effort to get to the polls, it doesn't help to tell people it's not worth it.

Let me just say it again: he can’t cancel the midterms. Elections are administered by states. He can’t do it. Stop telling people he can do it. Telling people their votes don’t matter based on absolutely false fantasizing by the demented sociopath is doing the work of voter suppression for him.

While this year marks the 250th anniversary of our independence, @simonwdc.bsky.social reminds us of inspiration from another great American conflict. Reading these words, written by a man of great honor, helps to focus the task before us. Make him proud.

Trump can say whatever he wants but midterm elections ARE going to happen. That said, he will make it harder to vote, and if we don’t get the majority in Congress and state legislative races that will get progressively worse. This election matters so much don’t let anyone convince you otherwise

@durbin.senate.gov Trying to reach any of your offices via phone has been impossible for days. If this means that Illinoisans are keeping your phone lines busy, that's fantastic, but if you are simply not answering your phones, that's appalling. You need to vote against any bill that will fund DHS.

JIM RODDEN, an ICE lawyer in Dallas, was briefly pulled after being exposed for running a w**te supremacist X account praising Adolf Hitler & claiming migrants are criminals. ICE promised a review. It never happened. Rodden is back, badge on, WITH NO GD EXPLANATION. NAZI. KKK. GESTAPO. HITLER

www.lincolnsquare.media/p/is-ice-an-... The New KKK

The people and tactics are the same all the way down to the masks. ICE is the KKK with federal funding.

It occurs to me that the KKK has exchanged their robes for tactical gear, their hoods for masks, changed their name to ICE, and now have the full support of Trump's racist government.

Amen!!!

@housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov Get your act together NOW! There is no more time for playing at your dainty tea parties. We need fighters who will shut down the government rather than give another penny to DHS. Worried about how Americans will react--get a message & spread it!

Stop saying we shouldn’t impeach Nazis because they’ll be replaced by someone worse. We should never stop fighting to remove these evil monsters. Don’t obey in advance.

Take a moment to consider the fact that over a quarter of a million Russian soldiers, let me repeat that *over a quarter of a million* Russian soldiers, have been killed fighting Ukraine since 2021, and every MAGA Republican will tell you Russia is winning the war and handily too

Good call to action: “You have an absolute right to peacefully film ICE agents as they conduct their activities...Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans – not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution." mn.gov/governor/new...

The Grid and the Scam.

Bravo! In addition to partisan politics being the explanation for Comer's appalling behavior for years, now, is the fact that he simply lacks any degree of character sufficient to call himself a member of the human race. Ostracism by everyone he knows is the very best that he deserves.

So much wrong with this but…they sold his phone?!? Like, for profit?? Now ICE can just confiscate and pawn your property???
