Wonder why that is.

They’re targeting independent journalist because it’s easier for them since they’re not protected by big institutions

If you believe in American democracy, this is a very good time to stand up for the free press

I can’t believe it is already January 79th.

Luckily, there are only 64 days in February.

The fact that russia hasn’t attacked our energy facilities for a day doesn’t mean we have electricity or normal heating.

Kyiv.
No power, almost no heat at home.
It’s already -10 °C outside and getting colder.
russia has damaged our energy system so badly that one quiet day won’t fix anything.

Good.

The 2024 state of the climate report: Perilous times on planet Earth We are on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster. This is a global emergency beyond any doubt. Much of the very fabric of life on Earth is imperiled

"We are on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster. This is a global emergency beyond any doubt. Much of the very fabric of life on Earth is imperiled."

That's from a group of more than a dozen prominent climate scientists. Probably nothing.

Even when the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, mortgage rates can remain high. That’s because home loans track closer to the bond market than the Fed rate. CNN's Matt Egan explains how the Fed’s… If the Fed cut rates, why are mortgages still expensive?

Want to know how the Fed *actually* sets interest rates? Which rate it sets, how it does it, and how that filters through to the rates you pay? I helped my friends at CNN with this 6 minute explainer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsnD... #TeachEcon (Could be useful for econ instructors.)

Greetings from Kyiv.

Late today.
So, there have been no strikes on energy facilities since last night, but russia is now redirecting its attacks toward logistics and key transport hubs.

Let’s see what comes next.

Thinking about my buddy @donlemonofficial.bsky.social

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

Tillis is holding the line on Fed independence. (Of course Trump withdrawing charges against Powell doesn't un-ring the bell, nor protect Warsh against similar charges.)

Perhaps the ultimate deal should be that after any "reforms" are *permanently* codified, ICE funding would be appropriated from now on a *biweekly* (or at most monthly) basis so that Congress will hold a fiscal Sword of Damocles over the agency ....

I repeat, for about the 100th time, Donald Trump does not choose his political martyrs very well.

And in this case, the Chief Judge of the District already said there was no probable cause Lemon committed a crime.

No doubt she believes herself to be acting also as chair of that supposed task force

the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system

Through the eyes of Iranian protesters, glimpses of disorder, disarray and death Six Iranians spoke to The Associated Press about the protests in Iran, describing how they expected the state to respond aggressively but were horrified by the extent of the brutal crackdown.

I love that we're told we should be happy with whatever scraps Dems get at the table and Lindsey Graham can hold up everything with a "I should be allowed to cash a multi-million dollar check from the taxpayers for my trouble"

ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

🧵This is what our tax dollars are going towards.

Not education, health care, or public transport.

Cages for people.

DHS just paid $70 million in cash for a warehouse in Surprise, AZ.

The week before, $102 million for one in Maryland.

A third in El Paso.

Since I'm pretty sure this administration doesn't realize this document exists, it would be worth downloading the 2020 Intelligence Community Assessment on foreign threats to the U.S. elections before it disappears, which includes the following finding:

YouTube video by MS NOW ‘Playing Whac-a-Mole’: Hayes says Trump’s ICE ‘drawdown’ can’t be trusted

WATCH: “There is no indication that this larger Trump immigration campaign of terror is ending. The intent appears to be to play Whac-a-Mole with American cities. Those 3,000 agents could simply be deployed somewhere else,” says Chris Hayes.

Important update: a federal judge has ruled that Russ Vought & OMB were breaking the law & must tell the public exactly how they are spending (or not spending) funds appropriated by Congress.

I wrote this law years ago to ensure transparency and accountability.

Premier of NWT R.J. Simpson on Alberta separatists meeting Trump officials: "To say we [Alberta & NWT] have a close connection is an understatement ... but I'm not a fan of any sort of foreign meddling in our elections and our unity."

Screenshot of an X post by Omar Jimenez (@OmarJim…, 7h) stating that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says he doesn’t have the names of the agents who shot Alex Pretti, adding: “I’ve been a lawyer for 36 years. I’ve never seen anything like this before.” Below is a CNN video thumbnail showing a split screen: on the left, an older man in a black cap and glasses labeled “Brown | Business Owner,” and on the right, Keith Ellison in a suit. A CNN “LIVE” bug appears in the corner.

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.

Marco Rubio has many titles, except when it’s time to take accountability. He may be the Secretary of State, but Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are negotiating with foreign leaders behind his back. When did the Senate confirm them as our representatives on the world stage?
