And for a few days she didn't read any news, she walked in the sunshine, she did some gardening. She watched the squirrels and listened to the birds. And the world seemed a kinder, happier place.

Over the past five years, Donald Trump has maintained the lie that led to the January 6 insurrection—and he’s working to make you forget that January 6 even happened, Jamie Thompson writes. Read more in The Atlantic’s February cover story: theatln.tc/o2OQTnKk

A cheerful day changed suddenly when their parents were taken into custody by immigration authorities on September 14, leaving Moises Enciso Jr., his sister Yurithsi Enciso and their younger siblings to pick up the pieces. https://cnn.it/4ovMdju

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

It took Hitler 53 days to overhaul Germany's democratic system. It appears that, once again, Trump is trying to follow that path. The reason I bring this to thought is because today was his 51st day in office and is attempting to grant himself emergency powers. We'll see the results in 2 days. 😑

Looks like Trump probably had a 2am brainstom on the toilet, and his administration is menuevering around to prevent an uproar.

Utter hypocrisy. There are two conclusions to this way of attack: (1) They're completely incompetent or (2) they're not planning on having another election.

The US House of Representatives censured Rep. Al Green for his protest during President Donald Trump's address to Congress, formally condemning the Texas Democrat's actions cnn.it/41HATYV

I find it appalling that the mainstream media is prioritizing the Oscars rather than the undermining of our democratic system. The day people completely turn a blind eye is the day we are completely and utterly lost as a nation. We need to stay informed if we are to preserve democracy.

Exactly what I said while watching this event. I am a diehard Nascar fan, and I look forward to every race, for it is the only time I can relax from this crazy world. However, this ruined my day and race. Imagine if Biden attended. "BIDEN ATTENDS RACE, NEGLECTING STORM VICTIMS!"

Trump spent millions in tax payer dollars today for photo ops at the Daytona 500 as storms in Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia killed at least 8 people, injured many more, and caused total devastation…Oh yea, Trump wants FEMA abolished. youtu.be/_yqIudpInQM?...

Exactly. Ergo, this is an oligarch administration. Individuals who still believe Trump is great for this nation, you all are completely out of touch with social norms. After stating the obvious for 3 years, and you still believe he's beneficial for this nation, you all are incompetent.
