Presiding over the world’s largest economy, Trump’s solution to affordability and food scarcity in America is survivability. It’s the difference between living and existing.

Imagine deciding in 2025 that you like Trump so much that you gave him $25 million

NEW: Following TikTok’s sale to a Trump-aligned business group, our office has received reports — and independently confirmed instances — of suppressed content critical of President Trump.

“The simple fact is that DHS, ICE, and CBP are creatures of Congress. They are authorized in legislation; their funds are appropriated; the behavior of their employees can be regulated by Congress as it chooses.”

AND IMPEACH AND REMOVE. We need to clamor for that even if the votes aren't there—yet.

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

Public executions will continue until the citizenry is silent.

Headlines in America under Trump, Republican-led government: “Death Squads Execute Second Dissident” Historic. Damning. We, the people, must be prepared to unite, take a stance, and deliver change.

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

Republican-led Congress needs to take swift action to reign in Trump. Slow walking legislative reforms targeting a lawless administration is almost farcical and does not shield their complicity.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

FACT: California sends $83 billion more to the federal government than we get back. Trump can talk down on California all he wants, but California pays his bills.

Countering Trump’s decision to pull the U.S. out of the World Health Organization, California is the first American state to join the @who.int’s Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network. With GOARN, we’ll keep working to help protect Californians from public health threats.

This came from CNN: One day ago — Three Democratic senators are sounding the alarm about lucrative contracts and loans the Pentagon provided to companies linked to Donald Trump Jr. More grift; more corruption.

Trump is severing the linkage between the legislature and the purse, and attempting to concentrate access to capital in the hands of the executive. This is not how a president of the United States observing the Constitution operates.

"Normal people have met this moment while most Democrats pretended it was business as usual and many elites openly curried favor with the regime instead of resisting. God bless the people of Minneapolis."

And… - Bondi sequesters Jack Smith’s classified-documents report on Trump. Nothing to see there. - Trump-backed Ellison takeover of TikTok’s algorithm now pushing propaganda & suppressing content; - New policy recs advance the decline of public health & safety- polio & measles vaccines optional.

“Our investigation revealed that Donald Trump is the person who caused Jan. 6, that it was foreseeable to him and that he sought to exploit the violence,” Smith testified. Yet Trump continues to lie the election was “rigged” & threaten prosecutions. www.americaamerica.news/p/jack-smith...

Food Insecurity Still High, Admin Ends Data Collection Before SNAP Cuts Push it Up www.cbpp.org/blog/food-in...

MORNING UPDATE: Republicans stall healthcare affordability agenda as Trump panders to despotic regimes for $1 billion seat on "Board of Peace" open.substack.com/pub/emwolf27...

ex tesla & current spacex board member antonio gracias - a prolific venture investor via his fund valor equity partners, and one of elon musk’s closest business associates through the years - is implicated in this complaint…

Trump gave the rich tax cuts while cutting billions from food assistance, Medicaid, and cancer research. At the same time, he’s used the presidency to make $1.4 billion. Donald Trump is the villain of this movie.

Trump’s Chilling Weaponization of Confidential Government Records open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Last year a whistleblower said DOGE had illegally accessed a Social Security database. SSA now acknowledges it's true—& that DOGE employees had secret agreement w/ unidentified political advocacy group to use SocSec data to help overturn election results. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Smith: Again, and I think all of us, if we're reasonable, know that there's going to be more crimes committed by these people in the future. I do not understand why you would mass pardon people who assaulted police officers. I don't get it. I never will.

“.. The United States is being ushered off the international stage. History will remember that as Trump’s most significant contribution.” @timothynoah.bsky.social @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2055...

US law requires 2/3 Senate approval for international treaties

"We have seen empires fall and civilizations crumble. But we’ve almost never seen a people renounce their leadership of the world—all at once, in full public view. That is what has happened in the 365 days since January 20, 2025."

Looks like Senator Blumenthal's office worked with the whistleblowers, and has already put out a letter to the Trump admin demanding answers. Congress MUST act. This is a five alarm fire for our basic rights under the law. bsky.app/profile/blum...

As a sitting member of Congress, in the majority party, take ACTION! There is no excuse not to cross party lines and take collective action.

BREAKING: European Union halts new trade deal during Trump’s speech in Switzerland. I watched the entire speech so that you did not have to, and recapped it here. Simply put: if Joe Biden gave this speech, they would call for the 25th Amendment. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

The Prime Minister of Belgium speaks:

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

🇺🇦❗️ Rutte: Ukraine should be our number one priority. Then we can discuss all the other issues, including Greenland. It should be Ukraine first because it is crucial for our security. 🇺🇸🇪🇺 Rutte: Trump said that he was doubtful about whether Europeans would come to rescue if Article 5 were triggered.

NEW: Carney nails it. We have to stop pretending. Read this to understand the deep & dark hinterland behind the speech & why Vaclav Havel’s concept of ‘living in truth’ is the guide we need right now 1/

Remind me, what was the 25th amendment for?

Trump denigrates NATO and says we need Greenland (mistaking it for “Iceland” multiple times) Doing Putin’s bidding, while humiliating us on the world stage

New in PN: Kristi Noem's assault on the Fourth Amendment "The Department of Homeland Security deliberately confuses reasonable suspicion and probable cause in hopes that no one will notice that ICE and CBP are making illegal arrests as standard operating procedure."

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

Clients of a Trump-connected lobbying firm keep landing no-bid ICE contracts

At the scene of Spain's worst rail disaster in over a decade

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.
