Immigration officers have been empowered to enter people’s homes by force, according to an internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo.

The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

PG&E should be broken up and owned by customers, not shareholders. They are ripping off Californians by buying off politicians in Sacramento.

In just a few minutes of stream-of-consciousness remarks in Davos, Trump reveals the reason for the massive punitive tariffs he imposed on Switzerland: the country has a woman as its head of state, and she was "too aggressive" and apparently didn't know her place. www.nzz.ch/wirtschaft/s...

As he prodded European leaders to let the U.S. take Greenland, President Donald Trump made several false or misleading statements about NATO, Greenland's history with Denmark and the U.S. housing market. (From @politifact.bsky.social) https://to.pbs.org/4baLgK3

Trump: Sometimes you need a dictator

Mad King Trump and his court are betting there won’t be any consequences for invading Greenland. @ryanlcooper.com argues it’s time for the EU to sanction Trump’s cronies, ban X, tank the sock market, and kick out U.S. troops: trib.al/leiGg82

Gov. JB Pritzker’s office signed a new $25,000 contract late last month with an outside attorney to continue advising the administration in negotiations with the Chicago Bears.

Donald Trump has described a purchase of Greenland as “the easy way”. But many Americans are not convinced, as these charts show econ.st/4r4if7d

Trump: "Sometimes you need a dictator."

“.. The administration’s aggressive position in the case about presidential power over Fed firings “would weaken, if not shatter, the independence of the Federal Reserve,” he said. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

The Supreme Court appears poised to reject Trump’s bid to immediately remove Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve board, with key justices expressing concern about undermining the longstanding independence of the central bank. @amarimow.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/u...

The beginnings of the great Greenland climbdown ft.trib.al/oOHFGgz | opinion

This morning Donald Trump announced breaking news about prosecutions related to the 2020 election. The legacy media ignored it, but I did not. Democracy Docket members never miss any pro-democracy news and can access past content. Support its 22 person team by joining today. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

the "agreement" specifically says there's no admission of fault. This kind of capitulation sends quite the opposite message. Worse still, in my view, it sends the public a message that federal funding gives the government -- the President unilaterally, no less -- unfettered leverage 2/x

This. And another detail, for what it's worth. Since Northwestern's capitulation, I've taken to reading the comments to articles, especially local ones, about the "settlement." One common remark is something like, "you don't settle if you didn't do something wrong." It doesn't matter that 1/x

It is important that we start socializing Trump leaving. It has to happen and we need to start making the conversation routine, normal, like taking out the trash. bsky.app/profile/radi...

Trump: "What we have gotten out of NATO is nothing except to protect Europe from the USSR and now Russia. We've helped them for so many years, and we never got anything. Except we pay for NATO…All we're asking for is Greenland, including right, title, and ownership."

EU freezes work on US trade deal "indefinitely" after Trump's Greenland and tariff threats. https://cnn.it/3LSnRCN

OPINION by @zeeshanaleem.bsky.social: “Implying that he could seize territory from allies by force is disastrous for the Western order and the NATO alliance.” READ MORE: www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

A member of the European Parliament said the agreement was paused over concerns about “sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

Here's the Carney speech. This speech not only furnishes a powerful deconstruction and explanation of what Trump is up to, it also offers an extremely thoughtful and positive set of suggestions for how to minimize the damage and move forward. Carney is now the de facto leader of the free world.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent offered some biting words about Denmark, which maintains territorial control over Greenland, after the European country’s pension fund announced it would unwind its investment in US government bonds. https://cnn.it/3YQsJew

The European Parliament plans to ask the European Commission on Monday to start the process for activating the bloc’s most powerful trade weapon against the U.S., a senior trade lawmaker said today.

It’s important to note that even though the importers jacked up prices on the American consumer, it’s the corporations that get these refunds. Not the consumers. So the rich, as always, will get richer while American consumers will have paid the price. END/

Once him running for president was a “joke”.. the ride down the golden escalator was “funny”, then he won.. folks laughed. It’s a method.

Iceland or Greenland.. or both? See, once you tolerate this, it gets worse. Keep your head on a swivel. He knows exactly what he is doing. Now folks began talking about Iceland. Naturally. First as a joke.. remember Greenland was one of those jokes?

US troops could disobey questionable orders, Catholic archbishop says reut.rs/4a4dBAx

How Donald Trump used the power of the presidency to put $1.4 billion in his private pocket: an editorial by NYT. Almost certainly an undercount of the amount pilfered. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Sitting in Davos, Trump proclaims NATO an enemy of the United States, while Putin's Russia is his friend and ally.

The Catholic archbishop of the U.S. military services said it “would be morally acceptable to disobey” orders if troops considered them against their conscience.

Alito absolutely just jumped over Jackson, who started speaking before him.

Bessent is worth an estimated $600 million.

"The European Union and the United States have agreed to a trade deal last July," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said. "And in politics as in business – a deal is a deal. And when friends shake hands, it must mean something." https://to.pbs.org/4pOwcFt
