Harold Takes Notes

Donald Trump is headed to the World Economic Forum in Switzerland to brag about wrecking the American economy. That's why I've also flown to Davos — with an extra suitcase of kneepads for those caving to Trump's insanity — to vigorously defend California as an alternative to Trump's world disorder.

I’m probably about to be banned from CNN — but someone has to say this about Scott Jennings. open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

An internet and telephone blackout is underway across Iran after a week of protests over the deteriorating economy. Some demonstrations have escalated into riots, and other movements have joined in and pile unto the mountain of grievances against the regime. #IranProtests

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do." “We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

If this is true, it is indefensible. Blocking a doctor and an ambulance is not “law enforcement.” It is state violence. Full stop.

Cut and dry murder. Arrest the officer right now.

This is a video from another angle after the shooting when a physician tried to get to the victim to help her, but was blocked by ice agents. This woman died.

MPR News @mprnews.org

Legitimate broadcast networks (not Fox News or CBS News) MUST air the videos of the ICE agent shooting and killing a woman in Minneapolis quickly. The administration's narrative of what happens doesn't hold up at all to the video of what actually happened. This is a journalistic imperative.

Germany's Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul reminds the United States if they attack Greenland it'll be war with Europe: “Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. And since Denmark is a member of NATO, Greenland will, in principle, also be subject to NATO defence”.

If you want to understand why last night happened follow the money. It is ALWAYS about the money

Fantastic piece there Fiona. Opening Pandora's box.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Yeah, man, the only difference between your career and Mark Rufallo’s career is the political stuff.

Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?

Can a MAGA translator please explain to Donald Trump that if the Justice Department has a million pages of reports related to a child sex trafficking ring, IT'S NOT A "HOAX!"

I love the smell of panic in the evening. Smells like…victory

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel. "Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.

DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!!

I’m sure this will be popular. 5 million people are in default right now. The Dept of Ed estimates as many as 10 million by end of next year because of job market.

🚨🚨 Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) says that a future DOJ could criminally prosecute Attorney General Pam Bondi and others in the administration for breaking the law in regards to the Epstein Files Transparency Act

DHS refuses to respond to my requests for information on the detainment of 77-year-old Kazem Majd, a constituent who has lived here 60 years and has complex medical issues. This is yet another example of the Trump admin’s cruelty, and I will stand with my community against this evil.

The US DOJ has partially released the first batch of Epstein files on their website. They refused to release all of the files as required by law. #OpDeathEaters www.justice.gov/epstein

This sounds a lot like “I was just following orders.“

vanity fair photographer christopher anderson posts this story on his instagram, suggesting he intentionally posed stephen miller underneath a painting of native americans

So… he’s giving them their own money? Where’s the tariff money?

BREAKING on MS NOW: Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

Who needs to visit San Antonio to punch a figure of Trump? *Disclaimer: No humans were physically harmed in this 100% non-AI workout video.

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!! No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

🤣🏆🤣🏆

Ahem

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

The deranged madman now threatens to blow up commercial airliners flying in and out of Venezuela.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.
