Last January, when many of us were telling everyone that Trump's appointees were all terrible, The Washington Post gave thumbs up to many of the worst of the worst. Listen to and support independent media. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

I am outraged by the horrific killing of a legal observer perpetrated by Donald Trump's ICE agents in South Minneapolis. Video footage shows clearly that this killing was unjustified. I demand a full investigation and this agent must be held accountable. www.npr.org/2026/01/07/n...

npr.orgICE agent fatally shoots woman in Minneapolis amid immigration crackdownThe Department of Homeland Security accused the victim of being a "rioter" and that the ICE officer who pulled the trigger was "fearing for his life." Mayor Jacob Frey rejected claims of self-defense.

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

It’s not just about being ‘published’. It’s not just about being cited. It’s about having your work recognized as fundamental, by your peers, and not two decades too late.

Oh. "This is about whether we have functional constitutional government in this country. If the IRS can go after you because of what you think or what you believe or what you do, we'd no longer live in a free country.“

The comments under Trump’s AI generated Gaza video posted to his own platform are nearly all critical…

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

I mean a couple of weeks ago I said be patient. Not that everything is great, it’s not. But things now get real hard - funding the government, raising the debt ceiling and passing a tax bill.

A teen DOGE staffer recently given access to government systems worked at a startup known for hiring convicted hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle associated with him also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service in 2022. All raising questions about his vetting. www.wired.com/story/edward...

What the hell is this statement? Elon Musk is raiding our most sensitive data and dems are treating it like he's lobbying for a bill. Can someone please get loud?

Senator, respectfully, you need to be in front of the Treasury RIGHT NOW. Investigations are for the before times — we are in the middle of a crisis.

It’s alarming that Elon Musk has access to government payment systems used to deliver Social Security and Medicare benefits.    He also drove out the senior career official at Treasury responsible for preventing a potential default on U.S. debt.   Congress must investigate.

The biggest difference you can make in politics is always going to be local. I can write Josh Hawley about school vouchers and get a canned response. I can write my State Rep and tell him our town is watching his votes on vouchers and he has to listen. We are too close to him — we can replace him.

Ya’ll can put the pieces to that puzzle together: donnie JR breaks up with Guilfoyle, then to purchase her loyalty, trump puts her in a position she is unqualified for, And Drum Roll… American taxpayer gets stuck with the bill. www.cnn.com/2024/12/10/p...

so is anybody even going to bother to go through the motions of calling for Trump to divest from his businesses this time around, or did we just give up on that one too?

You are up to date.
