You might think that the inhumane conditions at America's concentration camps is because of this administration's usual lazy incompetence, but, no, it's because of this administration's usual vicious cruelty.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.” #EpsteinFiles

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

We're still waiting for those Epstein files to be released.

Donald Trump gave a bunch of murderers badges and guns and set them against the American people. He must be removed from office and our citizens protected. Abolish ICE.

Seems like a good video for his trial

When I was a young man, paramilitary death squads were things that other countries had…bad countries. You could tell a country was bad if they had paramilitary death squads.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

A minor point however making a point about "you would all be speaking German and Japanese without us" while standing in Davos where everyone speaks German or Swiss German. 😬

Never forget that billionaires spend billions to convince you that voting doesn't matter. Don't help them. Voting isn't the ONLY thing we can do, but it is the most powerful check on the executive. "Don't bother voting because there'll be no free elections" is oligarch propaganda.

Politicians & some media outlets have latched onto a narrative that recent immigrants, especially undocumented, are causing spikes in crime. Research does not support the view. In fact, immigrants might have less law enforcement contact compared to native-born Americans.

On her first day as Governor of Virginia, Abigail Spanberger made a decisive move: She vetoed Executive Order 47, ending Virginia's participation in the federal 287(g) program that allowed local law enforcement to act as ICE agents. www.whsv.com/2026/01/17/d...

“I think more than 350 of those cameras have gone out and are already deployed in the community now,” he said... www.404media.co/how-one-guy-...

Congratulations, Madame Governor!

911 call after Minneapolis ICE shooting differs from DHS’s account of incident. "The video captures tense moments inside the home as a woman speaks with a 911 dispatcher. ....She claims... [when her husband] ran inside, agents shot through the door, hitting him in the leg." kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

WE ALL KNOW But the @theguardian.com caught on tape Leaked footage of the cruelty of ICE AGENTS "We're gonna end up, shooting some of them" "They're starting to resist more now" "Just remember, you can smell that (inaudible) $30,000 bonus" Masked, no warrant, no value for human rights

Wow The night before Spanberger’s inauguration She’s cleared house at UVA Top Youngkin appointees resign Spanberger should be able to easily replace them given Dem trifecta The former CIA officer asserting her control

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.

As you already well know by now, it's all lies. Every single thing anyone in this entire administration says is a lie. All of it. Every time.

Native Americans protest against Trump and his ICE Nazis. ICE Gestapo have kidnapped a bunch of Native Americans.

Renee Good had a pulse when EMS arrived. I’m not sure it would have made a difference if ICE had let that civilian physician render aid before EMS arrived, but now we will never know. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

By day and night he wrongs me, every hour He flashes into one gross crime or other That sets us all at odds. I’ll not endure it. His knights grow riotous, and himself upbraids us On every trifle.

PSA for the media: If you treat the “Johnathan Ross had internal bleeding” lie like it has any credibility at all, you sacrifice yours.

Van Hollen: We can see exactly what happened with our own eyes, and yet you have Noem and the VP and the President trying to gaslight the country—trying to tell people that their own eyes are lying to them.

Cartoon by @deadder.bsky.social.

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

“Which is why we are posthumously indicting Paul Revere.”

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

How it begins… or, maybe, how it continues would be more accurate.

Burgum: "Today we're sending notifications to the 5 large offshore wind projects that are under construction that their leases will be suspended due to national security concerns ... the Dept of War has come back conclusively that these large offshore wind programs create radar interference"

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism. That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

JUST NOW…

I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

Just been thinking about this painting in the past couple of days. Francisco Goya’s Portrait of King Charles IV of Spain and his Family (1800-1801). Goya includes himself (far left) in the act of creating this tableau of the king’s inner circle looking…um…resplendent, let’s say, in all their finery.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

There is an extraordinary sense of entitlement behind the belief that there ought to be political party that aligns 100% with your own opinions.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not
