Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell just hired an extremely aggressive law firm in his criminal fight against Donald Trump. The firm is known for going “scorched earth” and fighting until the very end without settling.

ICE kidnap 17-year-old U.S. citizen working at Target then dump him bleeding and crying miles away in a Walmart parking lot… 🤬

The substandard training of ICE agents is apparent.

After the social media app's AI chatbot started generating sexualized images of women and children, two countries have blocked it and several more have launched investigations. n.pr/4aSZcYZ

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity. (vid via Ford Fischer on X)

But who will stop them? Only by Congressional action, but we know that's not in the cards.

Tom Homan deflects only because he's guilty.

TWO. Two chances this Supreme Court had to make the right call. One was the simply call January 6 what it was: An insurrection. Even the liberal justices couldn’t do that. The other was to not make sham and politically-motivated investigations an “official act.” And here we fucking are.

This, combined with him *moving to the front of the car* and then reaching for, if not actually unholstering, his weapon before Good even begins moving forward deminstrates that the intention to shoot was not reactive to a threat posed by the vehicle

Trump has been trying to kill the CFPB for a year – an agency that's returned over $21 billion directly to consumers cheated by giant corporations. But today Russ Vought was forced to request funding for the CFPB because we fought back in the courts. We’ll stay in the fight.

Shapiro: J.D. Vance is profoundly and pathetically a weak human being, and he does whatever he thinks his boss wants him to do. What we need right now is not idiotic gaslighting from the sitting VP He should be ashamed of himself—and he’s not. I think that speaks to the weakness of his character.

A good friend in Minneapolis tells me everyone there just assumes Trump is hoping for an excuse to impose martial law.

The icing on the cake is that it was a no-bid contract.

So an officer has his phone out recording obviously distracted, shoots a woman and calls her a “f’ing Bitch” and they think that HELPS the case?!?

This entire regime consists of depraved sociopaths.

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

1. I don't think someone in fear for his life would be recording on his cell phone 2. I don't think someone who feared for his life would say "fucking bitch" after shooting at point blank range 3. I don't think someone who feared a weaponized vehicle would walk in front of it while filming

Excellent piece by David Brooks – NYTimes (share) "Sins" seems a bit strong; "naivety" seems more apropos. Moderates need to stop acting as if the world order hasn't changed, especially with "domination and power" being Trump's ethos. The Sins of the Moderates www.nytimes.com/2026/01/09/o...

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said.

This is *the* definitive video sequence of events where the ICE agent murdered an innocent woman. #ICEMurder

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

Important thread about how recruitment of ICE agents uses messaging to attract recruits (men) who are predisposed to aggressiveness and violence.

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people. It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control. It must stop. Kristi Noem must go. Now.

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.

Wrote a piece for @slate.com explaining that states have a long history of prosecuting federal officers when they allegedly use excessive force. Federal officers are only immune from such prosecutions when they act reasonably in carrying out lawful duties.

Tennessee Dems not holding back👇🏽

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training. This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One. I think they know this is bad. Really bad.
