These all deserve some love, give them all a try and see how much better non google search can be! And fwiw @kagi.com is absolutely amazing here and I gladly pay for such an incredible improvement to my search experience 😍

At this point, every single journalist needs to have a simple one-sheet of the major news events that Mike Johnson and his toadies claim to have not seen, or know nothing about.

Like, hand it to them. "Okay, here. Take your time. I can wait." Call their bluff, ffs. This is absurd.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

This is a flat-out lie. ProPublica even ran a major piece two weeks ago on the 170+ American citizens held by immigration agents since January.

Worse than a lie, Noem is deliberately undermining trust in journalists that don't tow the Trump party line.

No one should have to put up with this shit but in particular kids should not have to put up with this shit

it’s wild that this is just sort of the most openly corrupt administration of all time and they’re just allowed to do that and most media doesn’t say a word about it

I pray that a future president if we still have a democracy will erase every trace of Trump's existence. Raze every edifice he's built; strip his name from everything, restore the White House as if he never lived there & turn Mar-a-Lago into a Black, LGBTQ, women's, AAPI & immigrant history museum.

Trump Is Demolishing the Entire East Wing to Make Way for His Ballroom President Trump initially said the construction at the White House would not touch the East Wing or "interfere with the current building." See more updates › ACECO

I am kind of astonished at how muted the reaction has been so far in a country were people try to get, like, gas stations declared as historic landmarks. Can we at least get Mike Johnson on camera claiming he hasn’t seen these pictures? Or doesn’t know where or what the White House is?

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

So Trump bulldozed a third of the White House complex. And they’re trying to keep the photos off limits.

This is 4chan stuff from the Vice-President of the United States.

Bottomless disrespect for the people in the institution he is meant to serve.

Contemptible.

i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

NBC news: The discussions come as Trump has sought to deploy National Guard troops in several major cities — including Los Angeles, Chicago and Portland, Oregon — saying they’re needed to reduce crime and protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials from protesters. Critics have said that the Trump administration is exaggerating issues in those cities.

no they're LITERALLY exaggerating this issue. there is absolutely no data backing up their claims. ffs just say that!!

The winter Olympics we actually want to watch.

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

"Fuck ICE" is a patriotic sentiment. Perhaps the most patriotic in this moment.

I’ll see that “pack it out” challenge and raise you a “take an extra trash bag and pick up some extra trash if you have the chance”. The parks and wildlife will be better for it.

Where are those "state's rights" people at?

this is a state sponsored terrorist operation being laid out on an american and every one in ICE needs to be treated as if they are terrorists after trumps regime is over

Trump ‘Determined’ the U.S. Is Now in a War With Drug Cartels, Congress Is Told

Trump doesn’t get to “determine” we’re at war—that’s Congress’s job. Check the Constitution, Art. 1, Sec 8, Clause 11. 

And while he’s talking tough out of one side of his mouth, he’s disbanding the DOJ task force fighting cartels with the other.

This isn’t about public safety. It’s a power grab.

Trump offers top universities funds if they boost conservative ideas Brown and MIT among nine schools told to back conservative views or risk losing federal support, sparking free speech fears

First Trump blackmailed universities into suppressing free speech. Now he’s bribing them with taxpayer dollars to enforce his agenda. Corruption and authoritarianism, plain and simple.

No university should cave to this blatantly unconstitutional coercion.

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere.

President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising.

Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.

government's shut down

quick, build renewables

Me: Wow, the government shut down. That’s stressful. Do you want to have a cup of tea when we get home?

Husband: You want to drink tea right now?? Tea?! The very thing that got America into this mess?

This is absolutely a lie. There is no reason shutdowns trigger layoffs. They never have before. Trump is simply using the shutdown as an excuse to take federal employees hostages and to further gut the government.
