🎯 @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social : “Any senator who votes to confirm Todd Blanche should know — you’re now part of the cover-up. You’re complicit in the cover-up if you vote to confirm the Todd Blanche for attorney general, who has led the cover-up of the Epstein Files.”

Kentucky Voter on Mitch McConnell: Your retirement is long overdue. Give it up. We don't want you. You're not representing us well, so don't represent us at all.

🚨🚨 So ICE removed all Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's personal effects--wallet, phone, etc--after shooting him before they put him in an ambulance. Is that normal law enforcement practice? Or does it suggest a coverup or attempt to manage information was underway from the beginning?

FEC is without a quorum to act. EAC is without a quorum to act. DOJ is under Trump's direct control. This is a very dangerous time for elections. My advice and request is to sign-up to Democracy Docket to stay informed. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

CNN montage of Trump claiming for months that Iran wants to make a deal

Juan Proaño on the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo: There were three others with him in that vehicle. Those individuals are now being pressured to sign self-deportation orders. They’re trying to get rid of them as witnesses as well.

BREAKING: The Trump White House just ousted all three sitting members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission — hamstringing the bipartisan agency ahead of the midterms. The EAC helps state and local officials run elections, including by certifying election equipment.

If you haven’t heard of Devon Murphy-Anderson, you will. She’s the exec director of the Maine Democratic Party, and quickly becoming one of the most influential Democratic operatives in the country. She makes one thing clear: 📌 The mission is bigger than any one candidate.

It's all so horrible and immoral and insane www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“It’s not a secret” but Trump continues to deny that Russia is helping Iran. Because, as ever, Trump’s loyalty lies with Putin.

Lindsey is particularly blood thirsty for wars he won't be fighting or sending his kids to fight. It's all just a fun game of talking tough by a small man.

McLaughlin is such a damn liar. According to the Minneapolis Police Department, Ross was taken to the federal building 15 minutes after he murdered Renee Good –– not the hospital. I don't think he ever went to the hospital. He certainly didn't have internal bleeding. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/16/u...

damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis

JFC. This is just rage-inducing to watch. Like the rest of Trump's admin, McLaughlin just repeatedly and blatantly lies about every aspect of Renee Good's murder even in the face of hard evidence to the contrary.

NEW: While serving as South Dakota governor in 2024, DHS secretary Kristi Noem's personal company reportedly collected nearly $140K from a secretive nonprofit promoting her interests, according to a tax return obtained by CREW.

It’s amazing Trump’s supporters think he’s such a great businessman when it’s obvious he doesn’t understand basic math.

So he’s going to lean on other countries and threaten them like a mob boss if they don’t go along with his asinine plan to invade Greenland.

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away. Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

Newly released records: Renee Good was found in her vehicle with two gunshot wounds to her chest and another to her forearm. After they removed her from the vehicle, she was not breathing and had an irregular pulse. She also had a possible gunshot wound to the left side of her head.

Yet still the official position of ICE is “hats off to that agent [Jonathan Ross]” for killing Renee Good while insisting that their personnel always follow the law Meanwhile they continue to investigate Ms Good-and her family The term “perversion of justice” somehow seems wholly inadequate here

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

Our allies are literally doing troop buildups against us Putin is loving this

Charlie Kirk's allies warn Americans: Mourn him properly or else reut.rs/3JYLkkp

Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook declared in financial forms that her Atlanta property would be used as a "vacation home" and NOT her primary residence, according to documents obtained by NBC News that undercut allegations of mortgage fraud by the Trump admin. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Bill Maher calls out Ben Shapiro for saying Charlie Kirk's shooter was "of the left" — then admitting he wasn’t sure because of reports that he may be a Groyper. "The internet is undefeated in getting it wrong." Total nut job.

“I’m basically going to cancel with extreme prejudice these evil, sick animals who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s assassination.” Elected officials seem to be targeting private citizens exercising their First Amendment rights to speak about Kirk’s exceedingly polarizing career.

Trump thinks Obama and Clinton should “pay a price” for … the ridiculous allegation he and his allies have contrived. I wrote about why the allegation makes no sense and why it exists despite that. www.pbump.net/o/allow-me-t...

... But more important than Harvard’s loss would be the victory for autocracy and extortion and lawlessness that a settlement would represent. It would be a colossal and grievous and historic mistake, no matter what’s in the fine print.

No. Giving Trump a “win” here would indelibly stain @harvard.edu, and damage it deeply in the eyes of its myriad constituencies (particularly its alumni, myself included, who would revolt), not to mention the nation and the world. ...
