Wow.
EXCLUSIVE-U.S. MILITARY RESCUED SURVIVORS BY HELICOPTER AFTER THURSDAY STRIKE IN CARIBBEAN AND IS NOW HOLDING THEM ON A NAVY SHIP, FOUR SOURCES FAMILIAR WITH THE MATTER TELL REUTERS
Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago. The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.
I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?
Is it...requesting content moderation?
2.5 years after a $787M settlement, the righteous winner, Dominion Voting Systems, has been sold to a Republican operative clearly sympathetic to the fantasia perpetuated on Americans that the election was stolen, and the owners/losers who helped spread the lie are set to own a piece of TikTok
🙃🤡
Bonkers this went live on NYT.
Peace Prize nominations CLOSE ON JAN. 31. That's never changed.
Moreover, several countries were involved in this pact, even if led by US. (Clinton didn't get one for Oslo, remember)
Netanyahu said he nominated DJT for Abraham Accords, not clear if it was by Jan. 31
New hot allegation from Republicans: Spying/tapping of phones through time travel.

SNL returns in 1 week after a Sept. of Kirk, Kimmel.
SNL's 3rd ever show had Larraine Newman playing Squeaky Fromme a month after Fromme & Sara Jane Moore (whose death was learned this week) shot at POTUS Ford.
To quote Lou Reed: Those were different times
Imagine if Atlantic said to CSNY May '70 after Kent State, "We can't release Ohio right now. Might upset Nixon admin & haters of campus leftists."
Bogdanovich's Targets, with an assassin character, was released by Paramount August 1968, per imdb.
Markwayne Mullin's blatant, sleazy lying before Senate health committee was something to behold.
Tried to browbeat Susan Monarez by suggesting there was a recording of her meeting with RFK and others.
Then outside committee told reporters he was mistaken in his recording claim.
It took a few days, but were some rumblings last week. I'm sure it'll pick up now www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Repeats the 300,000 drug deaths claim.
Says the waters have gone from "hundreds of boats" transporting drugs to "none."
Whether it’s Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade advocating killing homeless people by “involuntary lethal injection” or MSNBC’s Matthew Dowd bringing up things that Charlie Kirk said, both networks have crossed the boundaries of decency.

We're supposed to be upset because they ID/dress a certain way?
"Folks, might want to check if you have any 1975-78 Lou Reed tunes at home - coz he lived with a transgender!!"
Hey Brendan Carr, sounds a bit "out of line" to me.

As scary as this moment is, remember that support for political violence went DOWN after the July 2024 assassination attempt against Trump, not up www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...
We need to make the same thing happen this time.
Contrary to the assertions of the "it's a trap!" crowd, Donald Trump's use of the military to intimidate and control Americans is unpopular -- and his approval on handling crime is underwater.

Had forgotten that gem myself.

Anon. Euro official on Trump.
As Billy Bragg sang in Goalhanger, 'Trying to pin him down is like nailing water to a wall'
Jeanine Pirro has long been concerned about random violent D.C. crime.
Who can forget all those times she slapped down her Fox colleagues for spreading lunatic theories about Seth Rich?
EL PAIS DAHUD HANID ORTIZ > Perpetrator of triple homicide in Madrid included in group of political prisoners repatriated by US from Venezuela Dahud Hanid Ortiz landed Friday in Texas from Caracas, where he was sentenced to 30 years for a crime committed in the Spanish capital in 2016
Turns out one of the Americans the Trump admin took back in the prisoner swap with Venezuela is a mass murderer!

Israeli media reporting that Trump and Netanyahu came to some kind of accord on the war against Gaza, which includes:
