All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

The indictment of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers revealed that they had a cache of weapons, entered the Capitol in military formation, and were prepared to harm lawmakers. They were all pardoned and no doubt many of them are now in ICE

ICE is afraid of children protesting β€œNext time, I’ll be back with a gas mask.”

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

Agent: *Hand* guns, like threatening to shoot us.

Reporter: You mean like with hand symbols?

A: Pulling them out, trying to engage us.

R: Pulling out literal guns?

A: No. Making... assuming we were going to do something.

When I resigned as co-chair of the National Association of Black Journalists convention after their decision to platform Trump, I took a lot of heat for it.

I was told β€œBlack journalists are going to expose his racism and save America”

Today, the Trump regime is arresting Black journalists.

ICE watchers in Maine say they were threatened by federal agents Community members have been monitoring the activity of immigration agents in Greater Portland.

ICE is changing tactics in Maine: "Now, the volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest. Some of them, masked and wearing tactical gear, have issued stark warnings not to follow them." www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

7 Hard Lessons Democrats Must Learn in 2026 Democratic pollsters say economic populism is the party’s clearest path forward. What follows is their blunt, unfiltered thoughts on how to pull it off – and why Democrats keep sabotaging themselves.

β€œI’ve been surprised by the degree to which people understand that our political problemβ€”the authoritarianism problemβ€”is actually an economic problem,” says @anatosaurus.bsky.social. β€œToo much wealth is in far too few hands.”

Congress should not let up on contempt for Bondi.

They must bring her b4 committee, under oath.

Except this time when she starts with her CRAP, they must be prepared to have the Sgt. At Arms, put her in cuffs.

Period.

In Louisiana, Some Court Officials Get Paid to Evict Justices of the peace can line their pockets by granting evictions. A new lawsuit argues that’s unconstitutional.

Louisiana is the only state where justices of the peace can pad their own salaries with eviction feesβ€”a rule that critics warn incentivizes them to rule in favor of landlords and grant evictions.

One Small Guardrail Finally Held Up Against Trump For almost a decade now, we’ve watched as Trump plowed through guardrails...

For almost a decade, Trump has exploited one loophole after another and managed to turn every legal ambiguity in his favor. So it’s worth noting that one relatively small structural guardrail held firm and provided a check today on one of Trump’s worst abuses.
