Chris Hayes, “They are lying to you. They are lying to us. They know it. In fact, they seem proud of it.”

I can just hear Steven Miller saying, “I don’t want that little b*stard in MY country.” Am I wrong?

Is it ransom or insanity or both?Either way, it’s another abuse of power? Officials Pressed Schumer to Help Name Penn Station, Dulles for Trump www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

Interim A&M president says this “strengthens academic integrity, it protects our academic standards and, I think, most importantly, it builds trust in higher education.” Wrong. Texas A&M Ends Women’s Studies and Overhauls Classes Over Race and Gender www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

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."

We’ve analyzed the video frame-by-frame. Fmr. NYPD Lt. Darrin Porcher says Alex Pretti was “in no way, shape, or form” presenting a threat to officers when he was killed by federal agents #velshi

So proud of my Congresswoman. Her questioning of Jack Smith today and his answers were historic.

Trump’s so-called Board of Peace could include Russia, Hungary and Belarus. Meanwhile he is openly hostile to NATO. Frightening question: Is he a traitor? January 19, 2026 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Trump is rambling. Bonkers.

Applebaum says Republicans in Congress are the last barrier. “They owe it to the American people, and to the world, to stop Trump from acting out his fantasy in Greenland and doing permanent damage to American interests.”

Hey, Bari Weiss, we still have room in our first-year journalism classes, where you can learn what true journalism really should be. What it should not be is this:

Can you say fascist? This is outrageous. Federal Reserve Chair Powell says DOJ has subpoenaed central bank, threatens criminal indictment www.seattletimes.com/business/fed...

Excellent Here & Now interview with Seymour Hersch and Laura Poitras director of Cover-Up documentary. www.wbur.org/radio/progra...

Trump's “Project 2026” is about more than Venezuela. In a new episode of Independent Americans, Paul Rieckhoff breaks down Maduro's arraignment in NYC, Trump's push to control the Western Hemisphere, Hegseth's attacks on Sen. Mark Kelly, RFK Jr.'s vaccine rollback, Ukraine, NFL playoffs and more.

America Crossed the Rubicon in Caracas open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump and Rubio are now talking about Colombia and Cuba. Rubio says Cuba is run by senile and incompetent leaders. No hint of irony.

Trump seems to be falling asleep as others are at the microphone.

1/2 Remember that the great disruptions of past 11 1/2 months are from the WHIM OF ONE MAN: —Upheaval of world economy via tariffs —Effective dissolution of longest-standing Western alliances (NATO, North Amer partners, cultural-scientific-educ-aid institutions, US "soft power" overall.) —Now this.

Congress must act immediately to end this madness.

Julie Brown: “They didn’t even release the victim interviews…It’s clear that the Department of Justice is not only thumbing its nose at the public’s demand for transparency and accountability, it is not taking the crimes committed against children seriously.” open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

This coverup isn’t worse that the crime but it definitely is a coverup. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

You guys. No. It's named by statute. Do better.

For 20 minutes, Americans watched Donald Trump address the nation, “drenched in pure panic as he tried to bully an entire nation into admitting he’s doing a great job,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles’ thoughts on the Trump admin: Donald Trump “has an alcoholic’s personality.” JD Vance has “been a conspiracy theorist for a decade.” Elon Musk is “an avowed ketamine” user. Pam Bondi “completely whiffed.”

I talked to @cnn.com about the Department of Defense and the rule of law.

As we discuss whether the military should disobey illegal orders let’s remember that Hegseth fired the top military experts who might declare that a Trump order is illegal. apnews.com/article/pent... says he fired the top military lawyers because they weren't well suited for the jobs

Bone-sawed body parts don't just "happen." Disgusting.

This man is not well. Kudos to ABC reporter Mary Bruce for doing her job. How ironic that Trump aggressively attacks her for being hostile. youtu.be/pdh1dYvvrsk

No health care, no deal.

2/2 You think Dem voters would have turned out in the numbers, and with the enthusiasm, they did JUST FIVE DAYS AGO if they thought the party was going cave like this? Jesus

-Oct 18, more than 7 million Americans stand up and stand together. -Nov 4, millions of Dems turn out for landslide wins in VA, NJ, NY, CA, GA, many other places. -Nov 9, eight "Dems" say "Oh, this nice Mike Johnson and Mr. Trump say they care about health. If they don't, well shame on them..."

During this meeting Trump clearly fell asleep in his chair while Dr. Oz was speaking. Was he sleep when the person fainted and in a stupor when this photo was taken? Obviously a serious concern in any event. Will This Photo Define the Trump Years? open.substack.com/pub/america/...

Trump is unstable, unpredictable, and too emotionally fragile. He’s willing to jeopardize $3.6 billion in daily trade between the US and Canada over a television ad. We must take away the remote and his authority to impose tariffs on a whim.

In how many ways is Trump acting like a dictator? Let us count some of them. October 23, 2025 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Can we just say Trump and his cronies are thieves. Trump Said to Demand Justice Dept. Pay Him $230 Million for Past Cases www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom. How symbolic for Trump’s assault on our county, its values, institutions, laws, freedoms, etc. Once they are gone they are gone for good. Think about it and act before it’s too late.

Repatriation seems kind of convenient for the Trump administration, doesn’t it. wapo.st/4hiqKbn

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go." The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. A must read from the very talented @nicolefoy.bsky.social:
