NEW: It appears that the Trump administration expects to lose the Tariff case. According to an anonymous source at CBP who sent me the below email, they’re already having meetings on how to refund the tariffs they’ve collected from importers - many American. 1/

Very cool -->

Concur.

MAYOR FREY: “I never thought in a million years we would be invaded by our own federal government… That may be what happens in other countries, but it doesn’t happen here.”

Right - pretext to invoke the insurrection act: when local law enforcement fails to uphold the law, or local officials impede it.

Trump’s Insane New Threat Leaves No Doubt: It’s Time for the 25th Amendment There is no longer any denying the president is unable to carry out the demands of his office.

OPINION | Even by Trump’s standards, his latest letter is so dangerous and so delusional that there is no longer any question that the president is mentally “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office,” as laid out in the 25th Amendment.

Trump’s party is like the depraved gathering in Kubrick’s film Eyes Wide Shut.

Opinion | In Minneapolis, I Glimpsed a Civil War

I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

Any one of these daily atrocities should result in a full congressional investigation and a disbanding of the agency. The fact that it’s all just shrugged off by those with the power to stop it is a national disgrace.

A day on – not a day off.

The best way to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is by giving back to our communities.

I can’t even with Noem. Also, don’t fund ICE. youtu.be/FMR3kNkOSso?...

I’ve been told to keep my head down and not to stir the pot.
But as someone who has seen misinformation rear its ugly head, I can’t stay silent.

ICYMI — In negative degrees weather they took a LEGAL naturalized citizen out in his underwear, after trashing his house.

They released him an hour later.

The cruelty is the point. (From @thejfreakinc.bsky.social )

Whenever I buy 'live' Butter head lettuce that has a root system, when I'm finished with using it, I take the stem out to the front porch & plant it. It has grown out again every time.🌱👍

Obviously Denmark is part of a broader military coalition pledged to defend them in case of attack. I would have thought a guy who sold his house to go live on a military base because he was scared of his neighbors would get this.

This is what the lack of affordability looks like.

Opinion | ICE is morphing into Trump's secret police force before our eyes The agency is shunning norms of law enforcement and becoming a militarized wing of Trump's political agenda.

ICE is morphing into Trump’s secret police force before our eyes

The agency is shunning norms of law enforcement and becoming a militarized wing of Trump's political agenda — and it's going to get worse.

This FB post is public.

Mary Peltola, Alaska's trailblazing Yup'ik congresswoman—first Alaska Native in Congress, first Democrat rep since 1972—just launched her U.S. Senate bid, flipping a deep-red seat into a 2026 midterm battleground that could decide Senate control.

Literally, the stupidest people doing the stupidest stuff and systematically dismantling our democratic norms and institutions

JFC. We're literally going to have fire every single employee of every agency even loosely affiliated with the government that has been hired under Trump. If Trump hired them, they should be there, and should be considered a threat to democracy.

Ummmmmmm

This.

Students can be as life-changing for us as we are for some of them.

(Why does “can” keep getting “corrected” to “can’t!”)

Here’s one for teachers.

Yesterday I got a letter (in the mail!) from a former student—over 20 yrs ago—thanking me for something I did for him — pulling him aside; asking why he’d done something egregiously wrong; & giving him another chance. Said it changed his life.

Never doubt teachers matter.
