Lots of response to our coverage last night of the successful protest campaign to get Avelo Airlines to end its contract with ICE and stop flying deportation flights for the Trump Administration. Here's more on that: truthout.org/articles/her...

The moment it was crystal clear we were in the worse case scenario, was exactly a year ago when Trump pardoned every single Jan 6 perpetrator, including the ones that beat the crap out of cops and were convicted of seditious conspiracy.

In the latest #WITHPod, @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social and I take some time to explain the exact origins of this insanity.

Incredible quote here from a Somali small business owner in Minneapolis who voted for Trump. minnesotareformer.com/2026/01/19/a...

Which Republican politicians, wealthy fraudsters and drug dealers will Trump be pardoning this week for the minimum standard fee of $1 million?

Mark Carney gave the best speech at Davos by far. He understands the situation with clarity while others prevaricate, appease, and send late-night “Dear Donald” texts or call him “daddy.”

Mamdani: I am in support of abolishing ICE… I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home, dragged out of their life.

To be clear--this is beyond pathetic.

“We are witness to something rare in human history: Abdication by the leader of the global order. We’ve almost never seen a people renounce their leadership of the world—all at once, in public view. That is what has happened in the 365 days since January 20, 2025.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

“Under my leadership, we will restore fair, equal, and impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law.” — that was Donald Trump’s solemn commitment a year ago today, in his Inaugural Address. He has broken every part of that promise.

🚨BREAKING: Federal judges in eastern Virginia have moved to strip Lindsey Halligan, the embattled loyalist lawyer President Donald Trump handpicked to prosecute his enemies last year, of her alleged U.S. attorney title more than a month after a court formally disqualified her from the role.

🚨BREAKING: Federal officials acknowledged that Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employees coordinated with a political advocacy group on a “voter data agreement” aimed at analyzing voter rolls in an effort to challenge election outcomes. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The average ICE agent makes $100k a year, in some cases without a high school diploma, to roam our streets lawlessly terrorizing people. Meanwhile, law abiding American citizens are trying to figure out how they pay for healthcare and groceries at the same time.

Red wave!!

As Trump continues to shred our Constitution, Mary Clare Jalonick takes us back to the January 6 insurrection when our democracy was threatened, and Chris Matthews reminds us that real leadership can shine through the chaos like Bobby Kennedy in the 1960s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk4RGj1R0R0

Under Lina Khan, the FTC stopped anticompetitive mergers, cracked down on junk fees, and protected working people. She's one of my heroes — and has a bright future guiding the Democratic Party through the Trumpian wilderness. Join us for an in-depth conversation.

Trump and his family have pocketed more than $1.8 billion in cash and gifts since his reelection. He said he would usher in a "New Golden Age" for America, but one year into his second term, he's only ushered in a new golden age for his own wallet.

The 15 richest people in America saw their collective wealth jump nearly $1 trillion during Trump's year back in office. Many of them were standing alongside Trump at his inauguration one year ago today. How are you doing?

ICE is reportedly incentivizing its agents with financial rewards to hit a 3,000 arrests-per-day quota, even if those they detain are later released. Remember this as Trump's thugs terrorize Minneapolis. https://www.wsj.com/us-news/the-standoff-that-has-turned-minnesota-into-a-tinderbox-a3a7e672

Trump wants the rich to be richer, unions to be weaker, and everyone else to be easier to exploit. He's not ushering in a New Golden Age. He's taking us back to the Gilded Age. This couldn't be clearer one year into his second term in office.
