Spiraling toward a depression. US posts record $145 billion December deficit as outlays outpace receipts. The money is going to DoD, DHS, ICE.

Arresting every ICE employee would get more criminals off the streets then arresting all of the people ICE is targeting.

Trump expressed regret over not ordering the National Guard to interfere in the 2020 election, and evaded further questions on whether he would make such an order in the future, raising fears that it could be a possibility in this year’s midterms.

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

Steven catches a federal prosecutor for ICE, who missed work temporarily after he was caught, by Steven, fantasizing about owning slaves, et similia, et cetera, now back on the job a year later. And here he is doing presumably some important stuff.

ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus, which has nearly 100 members, announced its members will oppose any new funding for immigration enforcement until "meaningful" reforms are put in place. www.huffpost.com/entry/doj-fe...

Snap elections in Japan coming tomorrow it looks like *JAPAN PM TO INFORM INTENT TO DISSOLVE PARLIAMENT ON WED: NIKKEI

Insofar as the problem here is "being a parent in contemporary society kind of sucks, so no one wants to do it," that feels to me like part of a broader problem about how our society is the exact opposite of "organized around the most meaningful things in life"

A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present. He was bundled into the van & taken away. Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?” I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

Federal prosecutors in the U.S. attorney's office in Minnesota are resigning after the DOJ is pushing the office to investigate the widow of Renee Good. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

mayors can order their public works admins to block off public streets and sidewalks for a few blocks, to prevent feds from accessing their buildings, or wherever they choose to hold whomever they kidnap the building might be fed property. the right of ways are not.

ICE just broke a woman’s windows and yanked her out of her car at Park and 34 in Minneapolis. This is after a crowd gathered while ICE raided a home.

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

The irony here, of course, is that billionaires are publicly assisted and send their money out of the country. State and local municipalities—along with the federal government—subsidize the wealthy just for them to hoard their wealth in havens overseas. They want to discipline every dollar you have.

the left has offered solutions: -raising wages -universal healthcare -affordable housing -universal childcare -paid parental leave -action to mitigate the climate crisis if only our leaders supported these wildly popular solutions. people don’t want kids in a world we’re struggling to survive in.

4 male ICE agents tackle a woman U.S. citizen—lift her off ground with no concern over groping her breast or exposing her midriff. "Help me! Help me!" she cries out. "Check my ID!" Agents shove her into back of SUV hitting her head—literally run away from scene of crime. St. Paul, Minnesota.

Four Republican Senators, three of whom sit on Senate Banking, have now expressed public opposition to the criminal investigation of Chair Powell.

“We would never go to war against the Americans, but we are in Greenland and if US soldiers move in and try to remove our soldiers and our police, then we are at war"- Rasmus Jarlov, chair of Danish parliament's defence committee in @newstatesman1913.bsky.social: www.newstatesman.com/internationa...

The Powell witch-hunt is not about revenge. It’s not about monetary policy. It’s about power. As is ICE. As is Venezuela. As is the fact that he does not intend to give up power in 2028.

You did not see this kind of statement from the Turkish central bank before Erdogan staffed it with sycophants because he had carefully laid the groundwork to do so without resistance over the course of 15 or so years. And then once he did do it, inflation went from 10% to 86% in two years.

Some countries that have prosecuted or threatened to prosecute central bankers for the purpose of political intimidation or punishment for monetary policy decisions: Argentina, Russia, Turkey, Venezuela and Zimbabwe.

Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

The still-dominant position in the Democratic Party and associated consultants/pollsters is that X is where Real Americans are, and they are Persuadable—at least if politicians don’t sound Left and Woke—and this outreach is so important it’s worth the bigotry, child exploitation, and deep fake porn.
