This isn't your fighter, Democrats. Newsom won't get it done. He's compromised. Calling it now. Just a reminder... www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

Republicans love to say that immigrants hurt our economy. The truth is that they pay trillions more in taxes than they receive in any sort of benefits. Immigrants contribute so much to this country, including to our economy.

Trump demanding to put his name on things to allow vital projects to continue is the dumbest and most frightening thing I heard today. Frightening only because he is president and these projects ARE ACTUALLY FUCKING STOPPED BECAUSE HE IS PSYCHOTIC!! An nobody in his administration will tell him.

White House Suggests Smithsonian Add a Trump Display www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/a... Is there an insurrectionist wing?

In related news about the Washington Post and the state of journalism today, Amazon "ran a $1.2 billion tax bill last year, down from $9 billion the previous year, even as its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion." That's in the wake of the 2025 tax bill www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

TEXAS — “Get out of my house!! U.S. and they’re inside my house with no warrant. They broke a window.” Trump’s ICE goons terrorize a citizen family, including attacking a man when he closes the door as they leave. Terrorizing families. www.instagram.com/reel/DUZl6RO...

Israeli airstrikes killed at least 21 Palestinians, including children, across Gaza today. Israel has killed over 500 Palestinians since the U.S.-brokered so-called ceasefire went into effect last October.

Well, my fellow Maine voters. Here is Susan Collins today paying tribute to her boss while holding her MAGA hat.

The truth finally comes out that the two Venezuelan immigrants that border patrol shot in Oregon last month was a smear campaign. They were no gang affiliation and no criminal records. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Epstein’s Trust Reveals Who Would Inherit His Fortune www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/b... If ever there was an argument for reinstating a real estate tax. Money earned from sex trafficking passing tax free is just one example of the ill gotten gains the rich pass to each other and their families.

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing. She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

Very creative! Protesting ICE during a polar plunge in Skaneateles, NY. Nice billboard as Bessent would say!

cbs6albany.com/news/you-pai... Nowhere in here does it mention data centers as a reason electricity demand is going up. Blames it on EVs and heat pumps. Blames the transition to renewables even though it is the cheapest form of electricity. Don't have lobbyists as your only "source".

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Kash Patel today: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want." Really?

I cannot imagine the devastation this family is experiencing today. This statement is powerful and must be read.

www.syracuse.com/micron/2026/... Moron talking about something being built as a result of something Trump had nothing to do with and has, if anything, made more difficult to complete and operate because of Trump's policies.

"Stop calling ICE the Gestapo! ICE is nothing like the Gestapo. Now, let me innumerate all the many ways ICE is exactly like the Gestapo. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

How much more in your face can it be? "Why are you asking me for my paperwork?" "Because of your accent." "You have an accent too." "Where were you born sir?" "Where were you born at?" "Put your hands behind your back."

Here's how bad Trump is at running the economy: In five years, his job "creation" number is at -2,276,000 jobs. Obama handed him a 10 million job gain in 4 years. Biden oversaw the creation of 16,394,000 jobs in 4 years after. No matter how you try to spin it, Trump sucks at job creation.

Drug prices are climbing on hundreds of medicines even as Trump claims he’s bringing prices down. Pfizer is planning the largest number of hikes, around 80 medicines. Another case of Trump’s “don’t believe your lying eyes.” www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Families of Murder Victims in Washington Say Trump Is Ignoring Them www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/u... Nice that most of the press has moved on. No murders haven't stopped. His invasion is a failure and at tremendous mental and financial cost.

This is why corporate media is dying in this country and independent media is on the rise.

2 Dead in Pennsylvania Nursing Home Blasts www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/u... The move towards electrifying buildings is crazy. We should instead continue to pump a highly explosive gas that can also produce a deadly, odorless gas if burned improperly. Common sense people.

www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/o... So Democrats have been right for years and Romney is just now realizing it. Don't get me wrong: couldn't be happier he saw the light but just imagine if Republicans hadn't led us down this road for 50 years. We wouldn't need to be raising retirement ages!

For the love of God DO NOT TAKE THE NEW YORK TIMES FACES OF THE YEAR QUIZ!!! I don't know if I will ever recover from the constant bombardment of people who are either awful OR great but dead. How depressing!!

www.yahoo.com/sports/nfl/a... This is why we need a sports franchise relocation tax. If these billionaire owners want to play off different locations against each other so they can get government handouts, make them pay a huge tax on the value of their franchise when they move. #taxtherich
