Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison

SASCHA RILEY.

Sasha Riley says Trump involved in snuff films

Sascha Riley says Trump involved in trafficking children since early 1980s

Sascha Riley says Trump would sit on his chest, choke him & almost kill him

Adam could you look into this Sascha Riley testimony please.

“A GROWING credibility issue!” The Trump gang has NEVER been credible. The problem is, 60+ years of the GOP/right wing manipulating ignorance & hate for the sake of power has left millions of Americans too stupid to see it.

I’m old enuf to know that tantrum’s gone on for 60+ years, since the civil and voting rights court rulings & laws. The GOP has run on its base’s ignorance & hate in all of that time - and only slightly less blatantly than Trump. He is the ultimate & inevitable evolution of that strategy.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

Attacking Powell Only Undercuts Trump’s Goals If President Donald Trump thinks piling pressure on the Federal Reserve will further his goal of lowering interest rates and stimulating economic growth, he should think again. On the contrary, it’s l...

“The Trump administration appears to have badly miscalculated…Did anyone think that Powell would go quietly? If so, they don’t understand the man, his integrity and his commitment to the Fed’s independence.”

there is no coming back from this without prosecutions up and down the entire chain of command

It’s becoming increasingly hard to tell the difference between ICE operating in Minnesota and the FSB operating in Russia. It all makes much more sense when you think about it. Here is the FSB in Russia:

FUCK THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

Elected Republicans and voters alike… You let your party devolve to fascism!!

Are you really okay with all this shit?

Asking for a friend… and the rest of civilized humanity… 👀 🔥🔥

Republican voters have been fine w/this for 60+ years, electing municipal, state, federal politicians dedicated to implementing what they now call Project 2025. 1. Get control of a plurality of states. 2. Get control of the courts, particularly SCOTUS. 3. Get control of the rest of the federal govt.

I donate to & volunteer for strong Dem candidates, always vote Democratic - which I have done for most of my 70 years on this big blue marble. What I call for is not “virtue signaling.” It’s demonstrating to voters that Dems are fighters, not folders or empty talkers. That’s how they’ll get votes.

Ah well. Can't disagree here really. Americans did vote for masked agents of the state to kill innocent people, whether they understood that at the time or not. Too bad they didn't listen to anyone who tried to explain it to them bsky.app/profile/atru...

...Dems should put aside big chunks of campaign $$ for
FORENSIC AUDITS,
and not so much to 7-figure consultants.

Don't care who calls me a conspiracy weirdo, but betw ru's insanely effective propaganda, musk's $$,
+ how analysts have found data patterns mimicking Romania's forfeited, kremlin-manipulated election..
I will never believe 2024 was *not* hacked.
(2020 only worked bc of covid + massive turnout.)

Yes, those who voted for Trump directly - AND those who voted for the regime indirectly by supporting Jill Stein or refusing to vote at all in a snit over one thing or another.

1. Personally file articles of impeachment. 2. Call on every Dem in the House to do the same. It doesn’t matter that the GOP won’t allow any action. Show America NOW that Dems deserve to have the majority in Congress. Otherwise, November will be a failure.

Impeachment will show the country
-and the world-
that Americans do NOT support this rogue administration's atrocities.
I was shocked when my European friends told me the consensus there is that the majority approve of dt's criminal behavior.
No. Way.

When? Decades ago. The GOP/right wing has spent 60+ years manipulating its base’s ignorance & hate for the sake of power. There have been plenty of variations during that time.

From the Wall Street Journal Opinion section on December 30, 2025: The minimum wage makes the affordability crisis worse. Higher labor costs push prices up, while fewer jobs and hours mean less money in workers' pockets.

Unsurprisingly, this WSJ op-ed gets things exactly backward.

In reality, minimum wages are one of the best ways to increase the pay of low-wage workers. Taking away their wage increases will worsen the affordability crisis.

Warren: "Republicans seem to be able to engage in only one action -- bow down to Trump. And until we either get some Rs on our side, which doesn't look likely, or hit that election in November & get D majorities in the House and Senate, we have a president who has no restraints on what he's doing"

Good show today - thanks!

Just thinking, haven't seen Noel Casler with you for a while. He's been writing some killer substacks.
Maybe soon?

Trump’s deportation plans threaten 400,000 direct care jobs: Older adults and people with disabilities could lose vital in-home support If the Trump administration follows through on its goal of deporting 4 million people over four years, the direct care industry would lose close to 400,000 jobs—affecting 274,000 immigrant and 120,000...

Trump’s deportation plan would wipe out 394,000 direct care jobs, hurting immigrant AND U.S.-born workers.

Families would lose vital home care. States like NY could lose nearly half their care workforce. Mass deportations = a care crisis. New from @benzipperer.org @domesticworkers.bsky.social

Leak: Feds Think Protests Hide Terrorism “No Kings” protest eyed amid NSPM-7 domestic terror panic

Following the NSPM-7 directive for feds to focus on anti-ICE terrorism, the FBI and Homeland produced an intel bulletin linking anti-ICE protests to terrorism.

Bulletin here: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/leak-feds-...

Standup comic John O'Donnell does a better job explaining NSPM-7 than basically all of major media:

Say, @stephaniemiller.bsky.social ,
Do you think @malcolmnance.bsky.social might have a coupla things to say about about NSPM-7 when he's on your excellent show today?
-Just a thought.
