Are they serious?

There's a sexual predator in the White House. The Epstein files.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from yesterday’s Epstein files release.
DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine.

Opinion | Pam Bondi's testimony on the Epstein files revealed one thing The attorney general isn't interested in truth or justice.

Pam Bondi’s testimony on the Epstein files revealed one key thing: The attorney general isn't interested in truth or justice.

We all underestimate and overestimate Russia at the same time.

They are Italy's economy armed with the most nukes on earth and war as their state religion.

Russia is a death cult where people are willing to die for money.

We need to stop analyzing it like a normal country

BREAKING: Thousands of protesters show up to protest against Donald Trump near the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

People all around the world really hate Donald Trump.

I hope they realize that most Americans hate him too.

Screenshot of an X post from FactPost (@factpostnews) with the headline “US citizens detained by ICE speak out,” followed by a quoted account describing being dragged outside, put in a headlock, repeatedly saying “I’m a citizen. I have an ID,” and an agent responding “That don’t matter,” plus hearing wailing and crying from detainees and banter and laughter from federal agents. Below the text is a split-screen TV news image: on the left, a heavily armored officer in a helmet and gas mask with the caption “MINNEAPOLIS ON EDGE,” and on the right, a blonde female news anchor in a white blazer in a studio. A lower banner reads “CHRIS JANSING REPORTS,” with an MSNBC-style logo and a “LIVE” timestamp.

Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Don’t go further down this road.

Keep greedy exploitative US multinationals out, especially tech monopolies. Invest in your own people, build local companies who will pay tax and fund your local economies and public services.

"President Donald Trump has made very clear his desire to 'acquire' Greenland from Denmark, no matter the damage to NATO or to the US alliance with Europe," writes Zachary B. Wolf.

"What the White House has not done is spell out how Trump's acquisition would take place." https://cnn.it/3LKnHNN

Moulton: I have an idea for ICE funding: zero. That’s what ICE needs.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Unhinged

ICE isn’t making rare mistakes. This is the point.

When an agency can grab people first and sort out rights later, if they bother at all, everyone is at risk. Citizen or not.

Xi pushes Lee to make ‘correct’ choices amid China-Japan row, but Seoul unlikely to bite The Chinese leader's outreach on Japan is unlikely to resonate with the South Korean president as Tokyo and Seoul put aside long-standing history issues.

China's Xi Jinping has urged visiting South Korean leader Lee Jae Myung to make the “correct" choices, as Beijing seeks a united front amid its standoff with Japan over Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's remarks on Taiwan.

Snapshot: A Deeply Appalling Press Conference It's worse than I thought. Trump plans to "run" Venezuela and does not pretend he cares about anything beyond taking the oil.

“We should take it as a call to arms—that Trump’s America is not our America, that on the 250th anniversary year of our nation’s founding we won’t remain quiet as these thugs escalate their attack on the rule of law & our unbreakable commitment to democracy.”

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.

Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.

Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

Thank you Ranking Member Rep. Garcia for your kind words on our coverage of the Epstein files!

The overwhelming majority of jobs at the two biggest companies in America pay less than $20/hr.

Meanwhile, the heads of those companies are some of the richest people on the planet.

See the problem?
