The White House claims it has secured all of Iran—when it can't even secure one DC ballroom.

Ted Cruz is the #1 lifetime recipient of fossil fuel money in the entire U.S. senate, receiving over $1 million from the oil and gas industry in the 2024 cycle alone Now he's proposed a bill to give the fossil fuel industry lifetime legal immunity from climate lawsuits

The Pentagon fired an ombudsman whose role is to preserve a military newspaper's editorial independence because she spoke out about efforts to undermine that independence. These people behave as if someone else pays their legal fees when they get sued. Oh, right...

so infuriating

The heartbreaking truth

Sen Chris Murphy and Leader Hakeem Jeffries need to call for a War Tax on Oil Companies and Other businesses that are profiting from the Trump/Israel War on Iran. Let them pay for this nonsense. The working class and poor continue to pay more than their fair share because of US incompetence.

Money will be made by Iran, since your deal just allowed them to charge $2 million per ship to pass through—a fee that never existed prior to the war.

It's not over in Minneapolis! It's not over in Minnesota! ICE is still here, even if they're quieter and using somewhat different tactics.

Good judges of character 🤣❣️

Rand Paul: "The fact he can't bring himself to say that we shouldn't settle political questions with violence, I think that would be a terrible example for ICE and Border Patrol"

For further context: Carr admits he doesn't view the FCC as an independent agency. He wears Trump's gilded face as a lapel pin. Trump posted an image of Carr as his pet pitbull today, and Carr responded by growling at his critics to prove him right.

It turns out there's a whole other side to this chart we didn't know about

Anyone else tired of being forced to find out when they did not fuck around?

NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.

This going to be the flashpoint ⬇️ “Pro-Trump activists are in coordination with White House are circulating a 17-page draft executive order that claims China interfered in 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.”

This 28 second clip alone could help to bring down the US President. Trump clearly says this "war" is "not for now", showing there is no immediate risk by Iran. That means, as per the War Powers Act 1973, he has broken the law by not gaining Congress's approval for this action.

Govt has money for -Unnecessary wars (killing innocent kids, etc.) -Buying mega warehouses as "detention centers" (let's call it what it is, they are concentration camps) -"spying" on kids & Americans -investing in crimes against humanity (tyranny) etc. But no funds for education, healthcare, etc.?

I saw some folks asking what the difference was between what OpenAI signed with the DoD and what Anthropic said they wanted, and Sam more or less admits here the key point: OpenAI's deal requires them to trust the NSA. Anthropic's contract had real safeguards.

congratulations to the Seahawks, who are technically named after the gorgeous Osprey — a great victory for birders everywhere! below is my rendition of an Osprey soaring to victory, drawn with full attention to detail. and no, this is not a photo!

It’s just childish racism that’s being acted out - and narcissistic ego tantrums And this is now policy

I'm looking for witnesses/victims of DHS retaliation against people recording their agents (ICE, Border Patrol, FPS, etc) in North Carolina. I focus on press, but victims do NOT need to be a journalist. Everyone has right to record. Our friends @aclunc.bsky.social would also love to hear from you:

Yes, that does say it all.

Minnesota’s justice system will have the last word.

1/ Really glad MN native @chashomans.bsky.social wrote this homage to what makes the state great—including its history of welcoming immigrants, civic strength, and mutual aid vibe—and why that motivates Trump to destroy it. Gift link 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/16/m...

This meme just says it perfectly

On Tuesday, the Israeli government announced that it would suspend the aid work of several humanitarian organizations that provide lifesaving aid to Palestinians in Gaza living through what Amnesty International and other groups labeled as a genocide.

According to this interview with @timmiller.bsky.social, @jkbjournalist.bsky.social—who first broke the Epstein story in 2018–is hearing from new, international victims, like, right now podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Happy belated endangered species act day, Before ESA, on Anacapa Island, a major breeding colony for brown pelicans, only one chick survived in 1969. Successful breeding pairs of pelicans were reduced to mere dozens. Today, there are thousands of new chicks born every year thanks to ESA/FIFRA.

There is no question about it: Alito, Thomas, Roberts, and the three Trump Supreme Court appointees are all GOP partisan hacks. Pass term limits. Expand the court. Enact an enforceable code of ethics. We must keep pushing Democrats to enact court reform.

Such good advice.

No one is going to want to come here

How to get rid of Citizens United? We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way. Let me explain: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

“When you write your political opinions on social media, you are exercising your freedom of the press, or when you record law enforcement or record anything else you see that you believe to be of public interest, you’re exercising your freedom of the press, whether you’re a journalist or not.”
