The mass warrantless surveillance law FISA Section 702 has expired. They'll try to tell you the sky is falling. Don't believe them! Instead, tell your reps: NO spying on Americans without a warrant. Period.

This can’t be good. Recall F47 pulled the US out of WHO in 2025. Key scientists are restricted from communication with WHO. Any communication has to go through HHS. Forget the fact that we are missing leaders in top positions. The regime embraces isolationism. 🧪 www.ibtimes.com/trump-admini...

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates. “I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said. (Published Nov. 2025)

Last summer, Benjamin Landa, the nominee for Ambassador to Hungary, donated $5M to a pro-Trump Super PAC. Now, a facility he co-owns is in litigation with federal health agencies over an estimated $31M in Medicare overbillings. By @emcahan.bsky.social

The price tag for building enough renewables to power the grid is eerily close to the U.S.’s typical price tag for the kind of war it would take to fully secure the Strait of Hormuz. trib.al/UBpn8gP

Donald Trump has already broken laws and used violence in an attempt to overturn an election. Now he’s setting the stage to try to overturn another one. We cannot let that happen.

You better believe if the Biden administration had ever done something like this, Marco Rubio would’ve been screaming from the rooftops that it was an act of war
RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war? RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.

Americans are more or less inured to Donald Trump’s incoherent ramblings and political theatre. After his speech in Davos, stunned Europeans are inclined to call his behavior what it is: out of control. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/IOTmJO

NEW: More than 300,000 Missourians signed a petition for a referendum aimed at blocking Missouri Republicans’ new congressional gerrymander. Despite the GOP doing everything in their power to stop them, voters successfully delivered those signatures to the state.

According to Republican Senator Mike Rounds, Rubio told senators that the 28-point peace plan drawn up by Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and his Russian counterpart, Kirill Dmitriev, was actually a Russian plan that the U.S. had agreed to pass along to Ukraine.

NEW: NC GOP enacts a "racist" gerrymander. Maine Republicans push a ballot measure to gut mail voting as USPS delays ballots. Trump’s DOJ, led by election deniers, set to deploy agents to state elections. What legacy media probably missed this week👇

Close to a deadline for mailing your ballot, tax return or legal document? To make sure it gets a postmark on time under the latest USPS changes, you may want to send it early or visit a post office. n.pr/47ll5Nc

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

Last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a $20 billion package to rescue the Argentinian economy. Too bad that it's basically a gift for one hedge fund manager with ties to Bessent himself.
