Trump said that if I didn’t vote for him, gas prices would double. It looks like he was right.

Listen purity Dems. Your protest vote or non-vote won't "bring on the revolution" - it will only speed up the end of civilization. I suspect you don't care, which makes you complicit. But if you DO care, please open your eyes and let's get rid of the fascists if we even still can? Thanks, nice chat.

⚡️ Ukrainian forces are using net launchers mounted on quadcopters to intercept Russian drones.

⚡️ "I still remember when I got out, I could hear her screaming" 15-year-old Ivan shares his story of surviving a Russian drone strike that claimed his mother's life.

A really important discussion on what's going on in the intelligence community and how Trump is putting the entire country at risk, from one of the best experts out there. Hope you can listen in.

As luck would have it, Sean from New York, who used to work for a pool company, was nearby to talk about this blue stuff.

"I'm only doing this for one term. I am not a politician. I did not ever want to be a politician. I'm doing this because we need to do something now. We can't survive 32 more months of what we've seen for the past 16, full stop."

Matthew O’Toole saying exactly what our Republican controlled Congress is too cowardly to say.

Watch this.

UNITED24 Media joined Ukrainians for Epiphany — a powerful cultural tradition. Marking Christ’s baptism, the ritual blends faith and folk heritage.

Bari Weiss is the Pam Bondi of journalists.

I trust major news organizations, members of Congress, and public interest groups are publicizing their secure tip lines so DOJ and FBI employees with knowledge of political interference in the Epstein files review process, can explain safely and confidentially what they saw.

As authoritarian indicators accelerate, The Steady State cautions that senior officers may face decisions of profound consequence. This moment calls for those in uniform and in the IC to HOLD FAST to law, duty, and constitutional obligations.  steadystate1.substack.com/p/an-open-le...

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

1/6 🧵A newsletter subscriber messaged: "Yes, I get the implications. What I don’t get, specifically why in that moment when they were dealing with a strong hand, those eight Democrats broke rank and caved" Here you go...a very simple explanation:

🇳🇱 Tonight, the Dutch and their center-left party, Democrats 66, have voted against racism and hate, and knocked the far-right, ill-named Party for Freedom out of power. 🇳🇱 This was a blow to fascism, a nod to democracy, and some much-needed light in the darkness ... 🇳🇱 Congrats!

DO NOT FORGET this drama! #ArmUkraineNow

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

⚡️ Ukraine forms 1st National Guard Corps with Azov Brigade at its core. The new force includes five brigades and adopts NATO standards for modern warfare.

The very best of America’s shitposters are now outgunned by their Chinese peers. Balance of power has shifted.

The last time there was this much on-again off-again turmoil over tariffs in America, we revolted against the king over it — and won.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

Oh.

American officials in Greenland went door-to-door to find people willing to be photographed with Usha Vance. No takers. Which is wise – who wants to look like a collaborator? nyheder.tv2.dk/live/2025-01...

From Fox’s Chief National Security reporter. Who can’t seem to get any airtime lately. For some reason.
