Noem says her response to Pretti shooting may have been wrong — POLITICO The DHS chief dodged questions about her oversight of the agency following the killing of a Minneapolis man by immigration agents.

Start the countdown. Of all the mistakes you can make in the Trump administration, admitting you could have been wrong is the worst. apple.news/AnZ7xtG_-SPu...

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

Agreed. We need some healthy debate. But we also don’t need a circular firing squad.

Fear and Loathing in Davos

Today is the most humiliating day in the history of the United States of America.

At least until tomorrow.

Shorter timeline but still a TACO trade day.

Apparently in his speech today demanding Greenland, he kept calling it Iceland. You just know that one day he’s going to order a Diet Coke and that’s the way the world will end.

Cubans in Florida are shocked, shocked that they’re now being deported from Florida. Shocked I tell you.

I love a messy republicant primary.

It’s not a Tuesday, but is it TACO time again?

Silver-tongued is generous but I guess he’s got some folks convinced.

🚨🚨 Attention: ICE 🚨🚨

As the Voice of America, NPR, the CPB, CBS News, the Washington Post and other news organizations or broadcast organizations and news organizations diminish and die, fewer young people become journalists and fewer young people study and know what news and objective reporting is. Truth begins to die.

Scott Bessent should have beat Bill Pulte up when he had a chance.

Each day one new outrage pushes the next off the page. As if we are a nation of amnesiacs.

Dammit! I didn’t have the Secretary of Labor inter-office affair on my bingo card.

Gold and silver are the smart bets these days; if you’re not predicting more chaos, you’re playing to lose.

If Trump will target childcare TANF funds for Democratic states because he claims they are fraudulent, what makes us think he won’t say the same about election results from those same states in 2026 or 2028?

The failure of Republicans and the right to show the tiniest shred of empathy or understanding for the left in its moments of collective grief concerns me deeply on a human, non-partisan level. The left is not going to forget this week. The 2020s may be seen as the decade when it all came apart.

Silence in the face of injustice is a very loud political position.

Never forget.

1 year of congestion pricing in New York City!!! My favorite middle finger to this administration.

People worried about capitalism in New York City as if we’re going to pay for our Starbucks on January 1 with random acts of socialism.

Major oversight that CBS wasn’t mentioned on the New Year’s Eve in memoriam segment.

Interesting article.

If this is the Stefanie shade account I’m all in. Here for it.

My takeaway from the 60 Minutes CECOT video is this: if you voted for the Trump administration you’ve co-signed onto the idea that the dream of coming to America should now be one that ends in torture and imprisonment. And that’s a betrayal of all of our values and morals.
