As Bondi launched into various tirades against lawmakers, photojournalists managed to snag a picture of her notes, showing that the Justice Department has been tracking the search history of lawmakers who are combing through the unredacted Epstein files.

Sen. Ron Johnson admonished Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison for informing residents that the First Amendment grants them the right to protest against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, baselessly claiming his words led to the killing of two Minneapolis residents.

#TBT to what I reported on last month: Most of America views Trump's first year as a failure. Has he turned things around in the few weeks since I wrote this? Let me know in the comments... truthout.org/articles/a-m...

Alcohol is a substance that impairs the mind. Democracy is a right that repairs the nation.

The president is not a king. We are allowed to criticize him, and this fake indignation is uncalled for. No amount of crying, avoidance, or theatrics from his AG will change that.

The "All American," supposedly family-friendly halftime show with Kid Rock, featured him lip-syncing to a song about topless dancers. It was never about "family values" in a halftime show, and creating an "alternative" option that would be "friendlier." It was about racism.

Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) reacted to Trump personal attorney-turned Deputy AG Todd Blanche discussing the DOJ's intention to appeal the judges decision releasing Liam Ramos. "Why is the Trump Administration fighting harder to arrest 5-year-old children than pedophiles in the Epstein files?" he posted

The CDC has identified nearly 600 cases of measles in the U.S. in January alone — a number that would have seemed unimaginable just a few years ago, as the virus has been considered eradicated in the U.S. for more than two decades.

The Trump administration is planning to place a statue of Christopher Columbus — the colonizer whose legacy includes the enslavement and slaughter of millions of Indigenous people — on the White House lawn. The statue in question was fished out of the Baltimore Harbour where it was tossed in 2020.

Asked whether he’d respect the results of the midterms, Trump said he would only do so “if the elections are honest.” The president’s judgment on what constitutes an “honest” election is highly suspect, as he has repeatedly peddled falsehoods and debunked conspiracy theories about recent elections.

Um...

“We don’t need a warrant.” That’s what Congress is voting to fund today. Armed agents. No due process. Fear on public transit. Meanwhile ERs close and patients wait. This is state violence. Fund care, not intimidation. #FundHealthcareOverICE

Trump's calls for nationalizing elections, alongside his DOJ raids of election centers, are ominous signs of his "strategy" for "winning" the 2026 midterms. truthout.org/articles/tru...

Delusional, or just hoping his backers are that gullible?

Trump is expanding detention plans, which will likely ignore humanitarian concerns that have already been brought up in existing facilities. truthout.org/articles/dhs...

"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

Within 24 hours of his administration arresting two journalists, Trump verbally attacks a reporter in the Oval Office. His attacks on journos have been well-documented, but his treatment of reporters who are women has been especially vicious.

Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, independent journalists covering Trump's immigration raids in Minnesota, were both arrested for their coverage of a demonstration in a church. truthout.org/articles/fed...

Trump is back to calling Alex Pretti names, including "agitator" and "insurrectionist." Remember: what happened in a separate incident weeks before he was killed doesn't change the fact that *he was killed* by the feds for no reason other than his desire to exercise his First Amendment rights.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Per Trump, Kristi Noem *not* stepping down. For now...

Trump has implied that extreme cold hitting the U.S. disproves climate change. In reality, global warming actually helps to explain why it's happening, and with such severity, compared to past years. truthout.org/articles/tru...
