I knew she was right the moment I heard her say this, and The Felon is proving it now.

Hillary Rodham Clinton@hillaryclinton.bsky.social

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

Anybody that buys property down there is nuts. I’m sure glad I didn’t.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

As the Colorado River shrinks and a Southwest “megadrought” drags on, water is top-of-mind. The traditionally wonky topic has become a major issue in midterm races, showcasing just how concerned the public is about the Southwest’s water future.

I really appreciate Scott’s good news posts.

A handful of neighbors in one Virginia county just killed the largest data center on Earth—a $16 billion Wall Street project owned by a top Trump donor. They were supposed to lose. They didn't. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-went...

In the American Revolution, a Patriot was a colonist who rejected British rule and fought for the independence of the Thirteen Colonies. They were also known as Revolutionaries, Whigs, or Rebels. Today, they would be called Antifa, although I personally think Anti-Tyr (tyranny) would be more apt.

Massie needs to give lessons on doing this. I hope lots of other journalists watch this to see Ballasy get his balls handed to him on a platter.

Watch Thomas Massie turn the tables and completely own Fox News Digital reporter Nicholas Ballasy. Just incredible.

If birthright citizenship ends, isn't that applicable to all of us?

Adam Kinzinger@adamkinzinger.substack.com

Yesterday's court decision didn't end the fight over birthright citizenship. It made one thing unmistakably clear: Trump and his allies are not giving up. This has never been just about immigration. It's about who gets to decide who counts as an American. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

The Statue that’s been a beacon of hope for immigrants means nothing now. Nor does the poem. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door”

Heartbreaking. SCOTUS just killed everything America stands for. This is no longer the land of opportunity. Not when people contributing to society are uprooted, and others are turned back from our borders BEFORE they can seek asylum … and are rejected.

I don’t expect some churches will stop preaching about politics no matter what a court says.

Reuters Legal@legal.reuters.com

A federal judge on Tuesday declined to approve a Trump administration-crafted settlement that would have allowed churches and other houses of worship to endorse political candidates to their congregations without risking losing their status as tax-exempt nonprofits.

Of course this was going to happen. I sure hope lots and lots of people go straight to Amazon and write lots of honest reviews. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Doesn’t this “hypothetically” make it easier for everyone ????

Elizabeth Warren@warren.senate.gov

Dreading doing your taxes? Billionaires aren’t. While Trump does nothing to lower the cost of living for you, he's making it even easier for billionaires to get away with cheating on their taxes.

I’d like to say this is unbelievable, but almost everything this regime is doing fits that adjective.

Joyce White Vance@joycewhitevance.bsky.social

FBI supervisory agent Tracee Mergen in Minneapolis resigned after FBI leadership in DC pressured her to discontinue an investigation into ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who shot & killed Renee Good. An investigation following an agent-involved shooting death is commonplace. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/u...

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

ICE ERO only deported 21% more people in FY 2025 (329,018) compared to FY 2024 (271,480) under the Biden administration. This is well within the level of annual variation in deportations during previous administrations, well below Obama’s highest deportation numbers, and thus hardly unprecedented.

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social

The Trump administration claims record deportations but something doesn't add up. Austin Kocher analyzes ICE and DHS data to test whether the numbers are plausible—and finds reasons to be deeply skeptical.

This regime is corrupt to its core.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

They're investigating the victim's wife, the victim's friends, the mayor and the governor too, but no, they're not even going to glance in the direction of the murderer.

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account. Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

NEW: Statement of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Trump’s criminal investigation into him. He says they are seeking an indictment over his Congressional testimony, but calls it pretext to pressure him into lowering interest rates.

This is an interesting angle. It’s up to Venezuela to follow up though.

REMINDER: War Crimes committed on soil of a signature nation to the International Criminal court expose those committing crimes to the jurisdiction of the ICC--even if their own country is not a member. Venezuela is a member of the ICC. Thus, Trump can and MUST be prosecuted at The Hague

To parents across America...of every party and none...Donald Trump is steering the country toward decisions that could get tens of thousands of U.S. service members...your sons and daughters...slaughtered. Not for defense. Not for necessity. But to satisfy his ego.
