The Illinois Department of Human Services has disclosed that it mistakenly uploaded private health-related information about hundreds of thousands of Illinoisans to a publicly accessible website and left it there for more than three years before it discovered the mistake. https://to.wttw.com/4psaGpI

the real never ending story is just laundry

them: you’d better not be christopher meloni holding hands with a tiny version of himself at a photo shoot when i get there me:

Many Americans can't afford to travel (or don't have sufficient leave from work to do so, or even benefits); even when they do, they think travel is more expensive and daunting than it is. I think this is intentional. When you leave the US, you realize how bad things really are here.

A banking license would integrate the Trump family’s cryptocurrency more fully into mainstream finance.

(T)he Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump family’s cryptocurrency venture World Liberty Financial today applied for a national banking license from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, part of the Treasury Department.

The smallest of those moves was that today Trump asked Fulton County, Georgia, for a $6.2 million payout in attorneys’ fees and costs after the criminal charges against him in Georgia were dismissed...

At the same time the administration was pouring gasoline on the domestic fire ICE had sparked and the international fire it had set with its attacks on Venezuela and threats against Greenland, it was quietly making a number of major financial moves. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-7-...

Fuss sparrows.

Strategically, the blue team gets stuck on numbers: "let's flip this seat"; "let's win that state". Imo, they really should be focusing on replacing outdated leadership and also compromised politicians beholden to dark money that are holding them back.

The leader of the conservative party of Canada cheered on the illegal bombing and invasion of Venezuela until he realized a few days later it affects international oil prices and now is demanding the country fast track pipelines to compete. Can't make this shit up

Impeach Kristi Noem

“To Kristi Noem & your ICE goons: Your agency is dangerous, cruel, inept, & lawless, & has no place on our streets. Nothing makes that clearer than the blood you shed in Minneapolis yesterday.” @nyclu.org director Donna Lieberman’s choice words in response to Kristi Noem’s presser.

Jared Moskowitz has a special way about him when he wants to lay waste to someone like Kristi Noem. Just brutal.

“We don’t yet know the name of the ICE agent who pulled the trigger and killed Good. But we already know enough to say that Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, and the bullshit conspiratorial ecosystem they’ve built around themselves – and which they use to sustain their rule – are complicit in her death.”

I’m joining Rep. @robinkelly.house.gov to introduce articles of impeachment against Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and will use every lever available to end the terror ICE has unleashed on our communities. Stay loud.

Kristi Noem rushed out “self-defense” before the facts were even cold. That’s not leadership. That’s half-assed, sloppy attempt at damage control. When the excuse...comes faster than the investigation...you already know the truth scares them...and they're trying to blow smoke up your arse.

Walz: "I will continue to press that we be part of the investigation, that we do the investigation, so that Minnesotans can trust what the outcome is ... very very difficult to Minnesotas to think in any way this is going to be fair when Kristi Noem was judge, jury, and executioner yesterday."

Renee Good was murdered by ICE. The Administration is lying about it. ICE is terrorizing Minneapolis. Just like they’ve terrorized L.A., Chicago, and hundreds of other communities—including in Maine. It’s time to impeach Kristi Noem and hold this lawless, violent agency accountable. ENOUGH.

Congress is readying Articles of Impeachment for Kristi Noem. #cdnpoli open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...

Swalwell: You better believe that accountability is coming. Immunity is going to be stripped. And to Kristi Noem, Tom “Cashbag” Homan, Greg Bovino—your asses are going to be in these witness chairs.

Senate just voted to block more U.S. military action in Venezuela. Because everyone knows the next step after “one raid” is “just a few months,” then “as long as it takes.” Calling it “law enforcement” doesn’t change the reality, this is war logic with a PR wrapper.

Some interesting pushback against Trump happening among a few Rs in the last few days. The Venezuela war powers resolution that Dems just passed in the Senate, a number of Rs slamming Stephen Miller and the Admin over their Greenland stupidity, and now a hold on DHS nominees.

BREAKING: Senate rebukes Trump and votes to block future military strikes in Venezuela. Massive White House cover-up begins as FBI freezes Minnesota investigators out of shooting evidence. An important update: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

"The dam has broken." Afghanistan War Veteran Max Rose applauds the Senate’s bipartisan vote advancing the War Powers Resolution. He calls it a stunning rebuke of Trump’s unilateral wars, reminding the President that the military belongs to America, not him.

The Senate vote on the Venezuela resolution was not a final passage vote . . . this seems like something the Post should get right?

Commentators have to stop describing these rebukes of Trump as rare. The Senate voted to roll back his tariffs. Both chambers delivered a historic rebuke on the Epstein files. The House is voting this week to undo part of his health care agenda and override two vetoes. His coalition is fraying.

Welcome to the resistence: Senate passes bill to block further military action in Venezuela www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Five Republicans joined with Senate Democrats today to take a step forward in checking President Trump's unlawful actions in Venezuela - but we need everyone to stand up and use your voice to demand the Senate assert our Constitutional authority over the use of military force.

FROM @ashleymurray.bsky.social: In a rare rebuke to President Donald Trump, Senate Republicans joined Democrats in advancing a war powers resolution to halt U.S. military action in Venezuela without congressional authorization. www.newsfromthestates.com/article/us-s...

This is a big deal 51:47 Senate trying to take its power back

By saying the ICE officer "followed his training" when he shot an innocent civilian three times, Sec. Noem has just opened the door for the demand of her removal that the American public would overwhelmingly support. cc: Senate Democrats; HouseDemocrats; Sen Schumer; Rep Jeffries

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

I bought mochi from the farmers market this weekend ... and I'm very excited that their current menu will not kill me and also involves a lot of delicious flavours. #yeg #yegfood www.instagram.com/mochimamayeg...

Normal people don’t think it’s ok to execute someone bc their kids dad is dead btw.

‘the built environment, which used to seem like a natural firebreak, now looks like so much fuel ready to burn. “It’s about how much energy is stored in the landscape, not just in plant material but in other features…where we live and where our kids sleep at night” @michaelwara.bsky.social said’

Truly, his refusal (inability) to get security clearance means that he is under-informed on EVERY national policy decision, lacks full knowledge, and is attacking from a position of hearsay and rumour only. He does not have the facts or ability to gain the facts necessary to make real decisions.

A former resident from our program. Trying to help a neighbor. Threatened at gunpoint for it. Not allowed to do his job: help people. 🤬🤬🤬

Kristi Noem is the domestic terrorist here.

NEW: The ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, the Venezuela attack, the new White House Jan. 6 website—these each convey a powerful & unsettling message from Trump, Miller, and their crew: Violence is ours to use, at home and abroad, to get what we want. Beware. Please read and share.

No kidding.

ICE agents only receive 300 hours of training before they’re turned loose on an unsuspecting public. Cops, get 1200 hours. Hairdressers, on the other hand, need 2400 hours. Make of that what you will.

Sadly, there is no shortage of sick sadist fucks who get off on abusing and maiming and killing innocent people, and they’re flying their Trump credentials all the way.

Again, there is no shortage of sadistic, cruel fucks to staff Trump’s gestapo to maim, injure, and kill innocents.
