"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

There’s too much time between now and the midterms. Either the military needs to not follow his illegal, unconstitutional, international law violating actions OR Congress needs to STOP him.We are at a breaking point. #impeach #military #coup #endthis Military leaders, please stop this madman!

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

We still have a moral code but our dear leader has none. Zero!

#47 is now linking Greenland threats to the Nobel Peace Prize “snub” an offensive and a vanity project. He no longer feels obligated to be focused on peace. Dangerously unfit. #ProudBlue #DV1 #Pinks

Trump was going to cut government spending. It went up. Now he wants to waste money on all sorts of stupid stuff. While he ruins the country. Have you had enough yet?

If tariffs make Jameson more expensive I will have to move to back to Ireland. They can do what they want with Bushmillls.

The Times, citing Iranian doctors, reports that at least 16,500 people were killed during mass protests in Iran, with approximately 330,000 others injured. www.thetimes.com/world/middle...

TRUMPCARE: “The government is going to pay the money directly to you! "...and then you take the money and buy your own healthcare.” That is what is happening now. I am paying $25K already. Tax breaks for the low end of the income ladder will help but we need national healthcare.

How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

NYT publishes audio of Karoline Leavitt threatening CBS over its Trump interview: “He said, ‘If it’s not out in full, we’ll sue your ass off.’” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/17/b...

Trump’s ‘Great Healthcare Plan’ Is Not Great. It’s Not Even a Plan.

Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

ICE and Border Patrol agents must be reined in. Here is one thing we can do right now. Please read and share. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/americas-gestapo

How is "Drill baby, drill!" working out? It is not. Sounds like an episode of Landman but it is the reality of Trump's ineptness and malfeasance.

“Weaponizing the justice system and threatening political opponents is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her." www.cbsnews.com/news/justice...

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

"What are people's rights in that Situation" They're not cops! #ICE They're ICE officers—they're Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. So they don't actually have the right to do traffic stops and that kind of thing. Thread 4/6🧵 #DefendYourRights #ReneeNicoleGood #ICEMagaCult

Federal officers in the Minneapolis area participating in its largest recent U.S. immigration enforcement operation can’t detain or tear gas peaceful protesters, a U.S. judge in Minnesota ruled Friday.

Bad shot

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES Dept. of Justice lawsuit seeking unreacted statewide voter registration list. A big victory for our clients -- the NAACP, NAACP-CA/HI and SIREN --and the citizens of California. www.democracydocket.com/cases/califo...

Freeing a Fraudster for the Second Time Among the recipients of President Trump’s pardons were a man whose daughter had donated millions to a Trump super PAC and a woman granted clemency in his first term who went on to commit fraud again.

.@PabloReports: Stephen Miller seems to be operating sort of as a shadow president at this point. Is there any legal liability he could face at the end of this presidency? Ryan: There’s going to be legal—and I think criminal—liability for multiple members.. certainly Stephen Miller.

Knowing your customer!

Greenland is Level 2 - Exercise increased caution on the travel advisory page at State.

“If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.” ― Samuel Adams

Now is the time for all good (people) to come to the aid of their country!

Stop it.

“You don’t prepare for conflict by alienating the people you’ll need beside you.”

Us fighting to take Greenland and be willing to destroy NATO when we are worried about Russia and China is soooo stupid. If we want to protect ourselves we are so much better off as part of NATO. We have friends all over that can help protect each other. We can't go it alone and be secure.

Does Trump have the ability to do whatever TF he wants or are there some guardrails, like Congress and SCOTUS? Asking for a friend.

Office Hours: What should we do about the fascist now loose upon America and the world?

BTW, they still haven’t fulfilled their promise to release all the Epstein Files.

But in a sense it's actually worse than a war crime, because there is no war. It's just a crime. It's a crime—murder—whether or not the aircraft can be identified as part of a military force.

Cheaters gonna cheat. Hire the worst of us and you get what you pay for.

In Secret Testimony, Republicans Derided Trump’s Stolen Election Claims www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

Price of gas just went back up by 40 cents. WTF Trump?

New in PN: One year in, Trump's economy is a mess "Even relatively inattentive voters know that 1) Trump said he’d bring down prices and make the economy great; 2) prices are not lower and the economy is not great; and 3) now he’s lying in our faces about it."

Robert Reich: "We must commit to peacefully fighting this regime, to ending Republican control of Congress in 2026, and to sending this dangerous gang packing in 2028 — assuming we’re still free and alive by then."

U.S. Attacked Boat With Aircraft That Looked Like a Civilian Plane Which is a war crime

Image claiming to show Renee Nicole Good's car aimed at ICE officer isn't what it seems www.snopes.com/fact-check/r...

The Federal Reserve must remain independent. That is how it was designed, and for good reason. Economic stability depends on it. Don't let Trump screw this up too.

We can not normalize White Nationalism or any other forms of racism. This is just plain awful Nazi shite. Elon Musk Just Endorsed Blatant White Nationalism And the Silence is Deafening

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org religiondispatches.org/elon-musk-ju...

Trump wrongly claimed that Biden was weaponizing the DOJ. Trump has weaponized DOJ like nobody ever has seen before. HUGE DOJ needs to release the Epstein files and stop playing games.
