President Trump says he decided to levy a 39% tariff on Swiss exports because Helene Budliger Artieda, director of the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, “just rubbed me the wrong way.”

Less than hour after Trump's Davos tirade: "Business as usual impossible."

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

I transcribed Pariah Carey’s Davos speech so you don’t have to watch a pants-shitting pumpkin candle melt onstage in real time

Fifteen minutes into his Davos speech, he’s already called Greenland “Iceland” at least twice.

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

This is what you do when you’re running death camps

As with any of @hcrichardson.bsky.social's newsletters, the whole thing is worth your time, but this quote alone (see image) was enough to stop me cold for a few seconds. Let it sink in. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-19...

Trump has begun a slushy, spitty delivery at the presser

Philadelphia showed up on MLK Jr. Day. From the Immigration Court at 9th & Market to ICE’s field office, the city marched in defiance: against ICE raids, against state violence, against the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis. Dr. King taught us: justice requires action. Philly answered.

Good morning members of the GOP in Congress. Today would be a good day for you to wake up.

It is not up to the armed forces to put a stop to Trump’s ghastly ideas of war against NATO. The United States is not run by the military, nor should it be. Americans, and their elected representatives, must take this burden away from the armed forces—now. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The word NO has no meaning to this vile orange stain of evil

"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." —The Declaration of Independence

Look at this - the shame and disgrace this madman has caused us throughout the world. It's a nightmare. www.nytimes.com/video/world/...

Now we begin the familiar ritual where 95% of the Republicans in Congress claim they are completely unaware of Trump’s deranged letter to the PM of Norway so they are unable to comment on it.

They were called RECORD STORES - and back in the day kids, you could meet your favourite Artist and they’d sign your album or single. PRINCE at Sam Goody - NYC in 1988

Like a very spoiled child. As foretold in 1990.

the knitters too. this is the top pattern on ravelry right now

Kristi Noem’s podium at DHS is just a straight up Nazi slogan "One of ours, all of yours" was a Nazi policy made when an SS officer was killed in a Czech Village and then the Nazis killed every single resident of that village in response…..but don’t you dare call them Nazis….not even hiding it

We don’t want Greenland. We want healthcare.

It should have ended at this moment.

“I reject the extreme on both sides right now,” Fetterman said. “It was a tragedy. We all wish that woman was alive. But also, ICE has a job to do as well,” and everyone doesn’t need to agree on its tactics. I will not vote for this man again.

I’ll never get tired of this ad at our local indie theater 😂

Will Bunch nails it, again: "Weiss’ handpicked anchor, Tony Dokoupil, set the tone when he declared the new CBS News wanted to listen to everyday Americans and not put so much stock in experts — presumably like the doctors who could have told them the “internal bleeding” story didn’t make sense."

You need to talk to your co-star.

So you're saying America should have a secret police. Is that what you're saying?

Trump accepting Machado's Nobel Peace Prize is a great insult to the FIFA Peace Prize committee

I find Gmail’s new “write this for me” feature deeply sinister. They’re trying to convince you that you are dumb and helpless. Don’t let them steal your ability to formulate thoughts and communicate. You were capable of writing an email in 2022 and you’re capable now.
