CONFIRMED: A U.S. F-15E fighter jet has been shot down over southern Iran, according to Reuters and the Wall Street Journal, citing U.S. officials. Search and rescue operations are now underway for the crew. Their status is unclear.

may this define her for the rest of her life. she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired. girl, bye.

Wisconsin Supreme Court justices have a profound responsibility: protecting the rights of the people and delivering on the promise of equal justice under the law. Judge Chris Taylor is the only candidate running for Wisconsin’s Supreme Court with a proven record of delivering on that promise.

Just re-upping this from a month ago.

As the son of a 10-yr NFL defensive tackle/end who earned four Super Bowl rings and was both an NFL and a D1 defensive line coach for 12 years before he died at 49 (my age now), I can most assuredly, indubitably tell you that CTE is very real.

You called? Mullin--several times--discussed bringing violence back to Congress, claiming the rules allowed for caning in the past. No. They didn't. For crying out loud. So there isn't any "presence" -- his word -- (i.e. precedent) for it. This guy shouldn't have anything to do with "security."

Buttigieg: "Trump's political operation was raising money off images at a dignified transfer. Any politician who does that has no business leading American troops into war. If the president is willing to raise campaign funds over the bodies of America's war dead, he's unfit to be commander in chief"

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

This would be great if it weren't for your very limited conception of what "reined in" means.

Like Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

No one who is at all concerned with the national security of the United States can possibly support Trump. This is simply a hideous betrayal of the country and its future in exchange for a bribe.

So basically Trump can post that he’s sending a hospital ship to Greenland for no reason, then do absolutely nothing to actually send a hospital ship to Greenland because it was all a lie, and not one single Republican gets asked about it. That’s where we’re at.

This, from @johnpavlovitz.bsky.social, is really perfect. open.substack.com/pub/johnpavl...

This government is OURS. It is funded by US. That is OUR White House. WE pay for EVERYTHING. ALL OF IT. WE THE PEOPLE are the rightful owners of this nation. Don’t EVER forget it. FIGHT LIKE HELL FOR IT. NEVER give up.

has anybody gotten confirmation yet from Mike Johnson that he hasn't seen the post?

The president will feel this.

This has all been public for a couple of decades. It's Thiel’s client Vance’s job to bring this to completion if Trump doesn't suffice. (2/2)

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

Homan's message: When we kill you, you have to be especially nice to us. Or else we will keep killing you.

truly nothing to add here, just an amazing headline blockclubchicago.org/2026/01/28/a...

The largest federal employee union - representing workers from TSA to USDA to BOP to Border Patrol - is calling for the resignation of Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller www.afge.org/publication/...

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Minnesota believes in law and order. We believe in peace. And we believe that Trump needs to pull his 3,000 untrained agents out of Minnesota before they kill another American in the street.

I'm at a loss for words. I'm glad someone else has them.

This is particularly noteworthy right now, as the agency is already quite understaffed and losing people to ICE. By the end of last year, the agency lost a net of more than 1700 employees, wiping out all of their hiring gains from the year before: www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Imagine going to this screening on a night like this one. The blood of an American civilian runs on a Minneapolis street. These people have no shame.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

My last two shots before my world went dark.

An execution in Minnesota.

today in 1929, Martin Luther King Jr. is born. "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

The people at @msnownews.bsky.social helped me make a video about how unpopular what ice is doing is

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

Make it viral.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

Starting a war in Venezuela doesn’t change the fact that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. Trump and Epstein are the same. He is a predator. We know it. He knows it. The world knows it. RELEASE THE TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES.

September 1, 1939: Using lies as justification, Hitler broke international law by invading Poland. February 24, 2022: Using lies as justification, Putin broke international law by invading Ukraine. January 3, 2026: Using lies as justification, Trump broke international law by invading Venezuela.

Don’t be fooled: you can’t both claim this was simply the execution of an arrest warrant AND say the U.S. is now "running" Venezuela & grabbing its oil resources. Trump just admitted this was a clear regime-change play to enrich U.S. oil companies & his billionaire buddies.
