Tulsi Gabbard’s appearance at Fulton County FBI raid raises questions Lawmakers called for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to explain the presence of the nation’s top spy at a domestic law enforcement action in Georgia.

Why was the country’s top spy agency official at a domestic law enforcement action in Georgia?

Because Trump & Co. are planning ways to steal the #midterms.

5 Big Reasons Why Electricity Prices Are So High Right Now The average U.S. household is projected to spend nearly $1,000 this winter to heat its home.

Apparently our electricity bills are going through the roof and this is partly related to data centers that hog huge amounts of electricity to generate information. I, for one, feel hopping mad about this. The companies that are using the data centers should bear the cost.

Gov. Scott forecasts comeback for nuclear - VTDigger The governor’s energy affordability plan champions nuclear power, but the amount of savings could be slim.

Governor wants more nukes but: β€œWe’ve got among the highest percentage of residents using oil and propane for heating in the nation, two of the most expensive heating sources.” Key problem in #Vermont: too much reliance on polluting fossil fuels. #climate vtdigger.org/2026/01/20/s...

Vermont lawmakers consider the tricky legality of unmasking ICEΒ  - VTDigger Senators are considering how to write a law that could bar federal officers from hiding their identities in Vermont. But they’ll need to make it bulletproof against legal challenges.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.

I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

This IS the result of the Supreme Court of the United States of America giving the most amoral person in America immunity from his crimes.

Crimes that stack up daily.

Including 115 counts of 1st-degree murder of unarmed civilians suspected of crimes not punishable by the death penalty.

The US is being terrorized by a domestic terror organization called ICE.

They are going door-to-door. They are stealing and kidnapping people. They have killed over 30 people so far.

We are being terrorized by the US government and what you have to do first is acknowledge it.

It’s an astounding change. β€œAbolish ICE” seemed extreme a year ago. Now it would clearly be good policy. We need some form of immigration enforcement but not by #ICE. It’s lost all legitimacy.

Nothing to see here folks, just a sitting president investing in two companies whose merger he claims sole authority to approve or reject. Totally normal! πŸ™ƒ

How Wall Street Turned Its Back on Climate Change

When it comes to acting on #climatechange Wall Street is full of liars and hypocrites.

Can’t agree. Worthy progressive voices have foolishly walked away from X out of misplaced, puerile purism. We’ve got to meet voters where they are. Including on X.

The shooting was tragic. But it’s not some unexpected side effect of Trump’s fascism. It’s the POINT of Trump’s fascism. He’s building a police state where an American Gestapo terrorizes cities and states that happened to vote for Democrats. #ReneeGood

ICE just confronted us in our car saying it’s our first & final warning. There’s nothing illegal about driving your car safely on Stinson, Lowry, or any street in our community.

They are purposefully surging at school get out times terrorizing our families. Ice needs to stay away from our kids.

Our Detroit staff has received reports from Ford workers that the President's body odor was "like bad breath mixed with feces -- I can't describe it, but I'll never forget it"

Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.

C.D.C. Brings Back Hundreds of Suspended Workplace Safety Employees

The agency run by Bobby Measles has no idea what it’s doing. And taxpayers are paying for it.

β€œThe Health Department sent notices of layoffs to 1,300 C.D.C. workers. The next day, it rescinded roughly half of those, saying they had been fired in error.”

I’d actually like to see may more #NATO troops in #Greenland. Then if Trump attacks, it will be crystal clear how dangerous are his plans to bulldoze America’s historic allies and leave the U.S. standing alone and without friends in an uncertain world.

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

Electricity Prices Are Rising Thanks To Tariffs, Clean Energy Cuts, AI Electricity prices have jumped more than twice as fast as overall inflation in the last year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Energy prices went up 10% last year β€” thanks to Trump and #GOP repeal of clean energy tax credits, plus his new tariffs.

Expect prices to go even higher until the US adopts a clean energy policy relying on wind, solar and batteries.

This type of heinous #ICE assault on innocent law-abiding Americans is not a bug so far as Trump and #MAGA are concerned. They think it’s a feature.

Anti-ICE protester blinded by federal agent during demonstration in Santa Ana, family says A young protester narrowly avoided being killed but was left permanently blind after a Department of Homeland Security agent fired a nonlethal round at close range during a Santa Ana protest last week...

Under Trump's watch, a DHS agent shot a protestor in the face with a non-lethal round at close range, fractured his skull, and then dragged him around as he choked and bled. He is now permanently blind in his left eye.

This is a police state occupation and terror campaign that has nothing to do with immigration. I don’t see how courts haven’t already stepped in Minneapolis to stop this in the way they did in Chicago?
