So basically Albert Speer’s defense at Nuremberg.

In which Ed Whelan inquires of Harmeet Dhillon: “Are you drunk?”

Wow. The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.

This story is an encapsulation of how bad domestic coverage of the regime is. The hed, lede and top two thirds are predicated on an official propaganda statement and declare it a “significant” shift. The last third then includes the apparatchik quoted in the statement www.cnn.com/2026/01/27/p...

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/ (New piece) newrepublic.com/article/2057...

Not only is he right, but we also need to have a conversation about reading comprehension, how analogies work & what “comparing” means.

rich assholes have purchased media in order to disorient, divide, and distract the plebs for all of time there's a zero percent chance that doesn't happen again here

"Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s chief executive, approved allowing minors to access artificial intelligence chatbot companions that safety staffers warned were capable of sexual interactions, according to internal Meta documents filed in a New Mexico state court case and made public on Monday."

Don't make Bovino the fall guy when Trump has been advocating for "unshackled" police since '89, urging violence against protesters & immigrants since '15 and turning violent rhetoric into policy as POTUS My @washingtonmonthly.com look at Trump's long record washingtonmonthly.com/2026/01/28/b...

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks

Nice change in tone, msm.

Trump’s reaction to the attack on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar

"The risk of Tim Cook’s strategy for navigating Washington came into clear focus Saturday night. As the world’s attention turned to Minneapolis following the death of Alex Pretti ... the chief executive was at the White House feting President Trump and the first lady."

Legitimately a feat of carefully calculated writing to issue a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement of this length without mentioning either (1) the people who perpetrated the Holocaust or (2) the people against whom they perpetrated it

Just sent out this free piece. The response to the execution of Alex Pretti reveals how we have gotten into this mess. The anger is not directed at Trump, who caused this whole situation. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

It's terrible what a lightsaber can do

“The White House, Department of Homeland Security, Labor Department and other sectors of this administration have spent the year posting references to neo-Nazi literature, QAnon conspiracy theories and white-supremacist song lyrics on official government accounts.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u...

Priscilla Johnson, who was Microsoft’s director of water strategy from 2017 until 2020 and has consulted for the company since then, siad when she presented ideas for more efficient water use, her manager "basically said, ‘How am I going to justify a more expensive data center?’”

Once you start noticing it you can't stop: when the real Trump falters and is incapable of defending his administration (more and more frequent) the actual Trump is "subbed out" of news coverage for an invented, imaginary, often explicitly hypothetical version of Trump who is reasonable and cogent

Extreme demands by the Democrats don’t seem extreme when the context in which they are made is murder by the state. Demand that Noem be fired. Demand that Miller be fired. Hell, demand that Trump resign. How extreme can that be compared to murder by the state?

Pro tip for any Hill journos, the Speaker can approve 24hr protection for Members who are under heightened threat. Omar used to have this, but Mike Johnson took it away. You should ask him about that

Two Democratic members of Congress attacked in three days. Maxwell Frost was assaulted on Saturday, Ilan Omar tonight.

Must-read, gutting reporting from @samanthamichaels.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The rewrite was done to speed up the construction of a new generation of nuclear reactors. Critics warn it could compromise safety and public trust. n.pr/4tkczIu

Today, DHS has escalated its response to protesters in #EugeneOR. I have received further reports that tear gas was deployed within the past hour. Article from the Daily Emerald ⤵️

BREAKING: Amazon cuts about 16,000 jobs in the latest round of mass layoffs for the tech industry.

ICE deported a 5-year-old US citizen to Honduras, where she had never been, after holding her & her mother in a hotel room 80 miles from home for several days and not allowing them access to a lawyer www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Suddenly republicans have forgotten what the constitution says 🤷🏼 🇺🇸

It's clarifying to see these chodes with their masks down, asses out for the world to see, and as the irredeemable incel losers that they truly are

He's. Not. Pivoting. He's NOT. De-escalating. He's. STILL. Blaming Pretti for his own death. He's. STILL. Not allowing independent investigations. He's. JUST. Replacing one fascist lunatic with another. He's. The same. Exact. Authoritarian. Piece of shit. He's always been

Amateur hour in Minneapolis continues, even with Bovino out of the picture. This is indicative of a broader issue with Trump’s mass deportation push; officers aren’t doing even basic investigations (to figure out things like “is this address a consulate”) as pressure to keep up arrests is so high.

In videos posted on social media, one employee can be heard saying: “This is the Ecuadorian consulate. You’re not allowed to enter.” The agent responds, “If you touch me, I’ll grab you.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

“If you raise your voice, I’ll erase your voice.”

"Hitler lost the war, but he won on so many other fronts. My family did not escape the range of all of the Nazis’ weapons. Their propaganda, the fear they created, and their poisoned ways of thinking could reach all the way around the world."

Uh. So ICE just technically tried to invade Ecuador. Cool new international incident dropping.

Federal deployment to Minneapolis "is steady state and expected to continue as planned," per Border Patrol memo leaked to me

What other president would threaten to “track you down” with ICE if you don’t answer a stupid survey?

Brett Rattner presents, an Alan Smithee film

Bezos spent $40 million on this, of which $28 million was a direct gift to the Trunp family, plus another $35 million marketing blitz for a propaganda clunker absolutely nobody could have believed would recoup even a small fraction of that cost. It is a flat bribe, right out in public.

30,000 documented lies in his first term This thinking tracks

Trump: "I called Macron of France. I said, 'You gotta double the price of your drugs.' He said, 'No no no, I will not do that.' What was the story with his glasses the other day? What the hell was that all about? ... they said, 'Whatever you ask. We'd love to do it.'"

During a bipartisan visit to Denmark, Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Lisa Murkowski write in a guest essay, “we heard from Greenlanders who can’t sleep, and who told us that their children are crying amid fear of invasion — not from China or Russia, but from the United States.”

here's a video from this afternoon in Eden Prairie MN of ICE agents camping out as a bus stop. Again, this is terrorism.

it reveals pretty plainly that "merit-based hiring" means "you belong to the correct class and hold the right set of identities"

The writing and editing of allegedly inaccurate talking points used to discuss the Benghazi attack on the Sunday shows were the subject of YEARS of congressional hearings. www.axios.com/2026/01/27/t...

i would personally love to see noem drag miller down with her

NEW: As a shutdown looms, can we defund ICE? Well, we can certainly try. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/is-now-the...

Mainstream outlets keep framing this as "Trump puts Susan Collins in a tough position" or whatever...but isn't the simplest explanation that she's OK with the terror campaign and wants it to continue unimpeded? #MEpolitics

The $40 million that Bezos paid for the Melanie propaganda film would cover the cost of about 200 journalists for a year.
