For months Governor Abbott secretly deployed the Texas National Guard into ICE detention facilities, even forcing them to work in the detention center that imprisoned Liam Ramos and a two month old baby.

Okay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

‘We Need to Be the News’: Inside Bari Weiss’s Bumpy Revamp at CBS

I cannot emphasize how much “be the news” is the opposite of what I was taught about how to be a good journalist and strikes me as an excellent way to churn out elite solipsism that has nothing to do with the public interest and everything to do with self promotion www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/b...

Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

Sounds like it.

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

said this irl a bunch so might as well post it: i do often wonder what world we're living in today had jan. 6 trials just been televised.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Two selfies of the James Webb Space Telescope main mirror - a cluster of 18 hexagonal mirrors, creating the equivalent of a 6 metre diameter mirror. Micrometeoroid impacts generally appear as small black dots bracketed by alternate dark & light bands. I have indicated one of these in the right-hand selfie. The right-hand selfie, taken 7 August 2024, reveals several more micrometeoroid impacts since the selfie on the left, taken 16 August 2022. Count 'em. Image credit: NASA/ESA/CSA JWST NIRcam. Image processing: Melina Thévenot. Modified (red circle) by me, #OhMG.

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

Sounds like it would be fun! How was the lecture?

vs "do you want men in masks with guns rolling up to ship your neighbors, friends, and coworkers off to a black site" → what the fuck are you talking about, why would anyone want that?

You don't have to say reportedly here.

Given how we are bombarded by bad news, it can feel like no matter how hard we try, nothing gets better. As natural & understandable as that feeling is it is also...bullshit. Here are some of the things Authors Against Book Bans have accomplished this year...

Does anyone have a link or know who tore down the East wing of the White House and how they were hired? Was there a bidding process like most government projects have?

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.
