My head hurt from trying to do the math of just how much money Trump and his cohorts have actually stolen, and it's not over yet.

📬 USPS wants to require states to send a list of voters who have requested a mail-in ballot —an alarming step toward implementing Trump’s attack on mail voting ahead of the midterms. Voting-rights advocates argue that using this list could prevent eligible voters from casting ballots.

Liam is in ICE custody and his health is deteriorating. Joaquin Castro says Liam is depressed, lethargic, sleeping excessively and barely eating, repeatedly asking about his mom, and when he can go home. He’s withdrawn and not the bright preschooler he was just days ago. LIAM NEEDS A DOCTOR 1/2

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals". This should be said every time ICE is mentioned.

I am deeply concerned about Liam and every child at the Dilley Detention Center. No parent should have to worry about whether their child is eating, getting medical care, or deteriorating in detention. What I saw was alarming — and unacceptable. Liam must be released immediately.

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

The DOJ again failed to set a clear release date for the Epstein Files, stating in a court filing that the full release would come “in the near term.” The delay marks over a month since the department missed its December deadline, which was outlined in newly-passed bipartisan legislation.

In the first year after she was appointed to the U.S. Senate, Ashley Moody had over a million dollars in her corporate stock traded. All while she had access to insider information only Congress gets. That should be outlawed.

Trump’s First Year In Office https://theonion.com/trumps-first-year-in-office/

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

I did it. Yesterday I launched my first game! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Carney: "We stand firmly with Greenland and Denmark and fully support their unique right to determine Greenland's future. Our commitment to NATO's Article 5 is unwavering ... Canada strongly opposes tariffs over Greenland"

The Trump Administration keeps running simulations to tell you what you can afford in their awful economy. The American people want solutions, not simulations.

Cruelty, chaos, corruption, cost increases. That’s been year one of Trump. And even if you ignore his daily assault on the Constitution, the rule of law, & basic human decency, you can’t ignore how he’s singlehandedly fucked up the economy. Today’s show.👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Today marks ONE full year since President Trump was sworn into office. He promised to bring in the "Golden Age" of America. He lied. Instead, he has made life even more unaffordable and uncomfortable for you and your families. (1/2)

THE WOMAN WHO WAS DRAGGED OUT OF HER CAR AND ARRESTED BY ICE SPEAKS OUT… We’ve all seen the videos, but it matters to hear Aliya Rahman say it herself. 📌 She says her treatment in custody was dehumanizing, and that officers completely failed to take her disability seriously.

She nailed Jennings to the wall with this. Good for her.

Wouldn't you say it's time to close the "high road" for awhile, Democrats?

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

“My precious…”

I’m on my way back to dc! I’m heartbroken that our country is falling apart before our eyes but as I meet people everywhere, I’m encouraged that WE WILL HAVE THE FINAL SAY!

One year into Trump’s second term and life hasn’t gotten any more affordable for everyday Americans. Groceries? Up.
Rent? Up.
Inflation? Up.
Tariffs? Through the roof. (1/2)

Would be amazing if European leaders would also start throwing out truth bombs like this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Trump is using ICE to terrorize our cities. He is using DOJ to target his political opponents. He will eventually try to steal the 2026 election. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and unbowed. Become a member now to help support its work and to stay informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Today, we were officially notified by USG that Pres Trump's memo that revoked my security clearance w/o due process is no longer in effect over me. My access eligibility to classified info has been restored. On Dec 23, 2025, a federal court ruled his action was unconstitutional. Rule of Law wins!

After the social media app's AI chatbot started generating sexualized images of women and children, two countries have blocked it and several more have launched investigations. n.pr/4aSZcYZ

The dude couldn’t spell cat if you spotted him the c and the t.

Trump regime ICE thugs in North Carolina attacked two US citizens for recording them, they were illegally stopped based on the colour of their skin. The regime thugs assaulted them and attempted to steal their phones to erase the evidence.

NEW: Minnesota, Minneapolis, St. Paul (as well as Illinois and Chicago) area all suing to kick out ICE. @dell.bsky.social reports: www.wired.com/story/minnes...

Trump said he regrets not seizing voting machines after the 2020 election. (NYT) He just clearly communicated one of the moves he's very likely going to have on the table in 2028.

Defund. Abolish. Prosecute. ICE is lawless and destructive.

The DOJ has smoke for Jerome Powell, but none for the people in the Epstein files? 👀 Also, investigating possible criminal activity everywhere except the White House? Bold move, Pamela.

BREAKING: Federal agents in Portland, Oregon, were involved in a shooting this afternoon that sent a man and a woman to the hospital, Portland Police said.

The U.S. shouldn’t go to war with Venezuela – or with anyone – without thorough debate, deliberation, and explicit congressional authorization. These decisions have deep consequences for our service members and the communities abroad whose homes, families, and futures are upended.

The House will be voting soon on a pair of War Powers resolutions that will reassert Congress’s authority on the use of military force—and not let this reckless Administration get us into another intractable war.

A federal court just sided with me and my colleagues to stop the Trump-Vance administration’s attempt to block unannounced congressional inspections of immigration detention facilities. Proud to stand up for transparency, accountability, and the rule of law.

When DHS denied me entrance to Adelanto, an immigration detention facility, back in July, they denied my constitutional right and responsibility to conduct oversight.

NEW: The DOJ sued six more states this week in its ongoing effort to obtain unredacted private voter information, such as names, addresses, birth dates and ID numbers. But state election officials are pushing back, and are determined to uphold the law.

Starting Jan. 1, traditional Medicare recipients in Washington state will face a new hurdle to get certain procedures covered — private AI companies that get paid based on how many claims they deny. (via @kuow.org)

Holy ratio

This is becoming far too common. Masked people stepping out of vans, racially profiling residents of our country, and in this case, calling a Tribal ID fake. It’s disturbing. It’s un-American.

The U.S. has conducted 19 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing at least 76 people. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all.

Update: The US National Debt has now surpassed $39 trillion. It was $36 trillion when Trump took office earlier this year. Trump’s tariff manipulation has also nearly wiped out entire industries across the United States, countless now unemployed.

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

Despite MAGA and Russian disinformation, Ukraine did not sign Trump / Vance’s Russian written surrender plan. Ukraine agreed to present a revised plan to Russia, this has been done multiple times. It’s basically a notion to agree to present a plan, nothing more or less.

AIPAC defends genocide & apartheid. It spends millions to send US weapons to the criminal Netanyahu regime while Palestinians are bombed, starved, & driven from their homes. The American people do not support weapons for a government committing war crimes. When we call that out, they come after us.
