Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority” He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

sometime this year, donald trump is going to say the money we took from other countries in the form of tariffs will be used to pay for greenland and the right-wing propaganda machine will repeat it. it won't matter that this makes no sense at all bc nothing matters.

Somehow people like this are still listened to.

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder. " Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..." www.al.com/news/2026/01...

As a reminder: this is a Congressional power. Trump is exercising that power under the claim of a national emergency even as he is creating a national emergency.

That there’s not a massive, credible, instant, bipartisan impeachment/25th Amendment move over these senseless and destructive Greenland threats is a sign of how broken our politics are — and especially how broken the Republican Party is.

NEW: How the Department of Homeland Security, founded to prevent another 9/11 terrorist attack, has turned into the partisan political tool its critics always feared www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

Not "why was the tear gas in the toddler's neighborhood" but "why was the toddler in the tear gas's neighborhood"

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents. Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center. Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

EXACTLY

The Minneapolis mayor and police chief do not get it. By admonishing protesters, they are telling the WRONG PEOPLE to de-escalate and remain peaceful. They literally told everyone to go home tonight. This is not going to solve their problem.

This is the safest, most moderate course of action that offers some prospect of de-escalation. It is the only way for Democrats. Don't do it and we're on a glide path toward brutal fascist dictatorship or civil war. This isn't going to just stop on its own.

“They chased him, he got home and when we closed the door they shot him.” MN orgs/electeds say👇🏽this is the family calling the police with ICE outside, after a man was shot in the leg with a pregnant woman & child inside Different than DHS’ shovel story: www.instagram.com/reel/DThEdD8...

The AP source is almost certainly a federal official and should be presumed to be lying

Mayor of Minneapolis says that he isn’t willing to protect people from Minneapolis from being shot and beaten up by federal thugs. And also that if you resist being shot, you’re the bad guy, really, for not cooperating with the regime killing you.

I don’t know, news people. Josh Hawley being a coward is hardly a surprise, is it?

It’s astounding to hear some elected officials saying: “If the thugs punch you, they want you to defend yourself so they can justify punching you. Don’t fall for it!”. Don’t… what? Don’t defend yourself? Let the thugs punch you? While you do what to defend me? Write stern twitts?

I know this won’t get a lot of attention beyond “well it’s New Hampshire, what did you expect” but I want you all to know there are a lot of kids and families of color here and we all deserve better than this kind of garbage representation

I THINK THAT IS CALLED A TV SHOW

"new polling showed 58% of Britons believe X should be banned in the UK if the platform doesn’t crack down on AI-generated, nonconsensual images. More in Common’s research also found 60% believe UK ministers should come off X" www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

and the Senate Democrats who voted to end the shutdown on the premise that this would pass because LOL LMAO WTAF

@morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social stating out loud that, for him, there’s no bigger insult than being called “Chinese immigrant”.

Everyone who is complicit deserves this humiliation.

Explain to me like I'm five what the 2nd Amendment is for if not for this. King George III never said anything this obnoxious or deliberately inflammatory.

Why are Democrats funding DHS and still supporting ICE?

The law does not (should not) base decisions on how inconvenient fixing your mistake would be. It's about whether you were legally wrong to do it in the first place. Fixing it is your problem.

Wow, what are the odds that the great Scott Adams would pass away on the same day as Scott Adams the Dilbert cartoonist?

What? The AI companies have misrepresented what they're doing and how it was done? That's unpossible!

Call your reps, call your senators. Tell them they can shut this authoritarian government down or we'll throw them out of office and get some representatives who, you know, actually represent us.

when ICE asks you questions about your neighbors, you've never met your neighbors in your life. you've never even seen them from afar. neighbors? what neighbors?

HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime. Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.

Sure. But but it was way better for your career, and the esteem of many of your highly placed professional peers, to be wrong about this and so many people were. They’re doing great btw www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/o...

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

@msnownews.bsky.social guest: “there are procedures on how to act when someone is behind aggressive inside a car”. Motherfucker, that’s NOT what happened.

half of the top few replies start with “brother”, “my friend”, and “homie”

Can SOMEBODY with enough knowledge, please do a run down on what it means, when the US declares war on a NATO country, vis a vis, getting ALL the personnel/equipment out of EVERY military base in EVERY NATO country. Seems it would be expensive. Oh, ALL the embassies and ALL the US tourists also.

It's been well over three weeks since the deadline set by law and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

No matter what Felon47 said... "we fuking knew it." His history is replete with his chronic, consistent lies and failures.

Note that the fascist is not using the pepper spray for crowd control. He is entering a vehicle unimpeded to depart. He is simply using the pepper spray to physically punish an unarmed citizen he doesn't like.

So, if ballooning costs of federal building works are reasons for removal of office according to the Trump regime, what’s the regime’s take on the Golden Calf Ballroom?

@msnownews.bsky.social after playing the video of Renee Good getting murdered: “Do you condemn any violence against ICE agents?”.

Are people calling it ICEIS / ICE•IS or what?

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police

"It wasn't murder, and if you say it was murder we will kill you, which again will not be murder."

The more atrocities the common thug commits, the higher their interest in keeping this regime going and prevent any sort of transfer or power.

Just so I have this right, in the first 10 days of 2026, the “anti-war” president has invaded Venezuela and Minneapolis.

"They want an excuse to fire on protesters." "They're looking for a reason to declare martial law. Don't..." Ah. See, they're already doing and saying whatever they want. They're putting people in camps and murdering people at will. Our behavior doesn't drive theirs.
