Heads up! If you have Parent PLUS loans the GOP is trying to trap you in a higher payments. If you have Parent PLUS loans you should consider consolidating them now to get lower payments & the possibility of cancelation. studentaid.gov/loan-consoli...

Trump’s attack on Iran takes a big economic bite out of one of America’s chief rivals: China.

Almost all of Iran’s exported oil, and more than half of Venezuela’s, went last year to China.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

The cost of food has skyrocketed in Gaza due to Israel’s restrictions and blockade. An analysis by Al Jazeera found food prices in Gaza at times have spiked by more than 700 percent.

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Remember this.

This was a hopeful conversation about Gen Z wanting to engage in democracy. Don’t believe the naysayers! Thank you #RajVinnakota #instituteforcitizensandscholars TUNE IN

It's not just that young people don't vote. The pathways to civic engagement are broken. The gap between what Gen Z wants (to engage) and what they get (clear entry points) continues to grow. Let's explore why. 🧵(1/3)

Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."

Arguably the most fateful decision Mitch McConnell made was to not reconvene the Senate Jan. 13, 2021 to hold the impeachment trial of Trump while he was still in office.

McConnell later voted it was unconstitutional to try Trump after he left office when he had blocked the trial before he left.

Every cruelty and incompetence of the Trump regime coming together.

Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein.

There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.

More on the ICE facility. 🤬

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

The SAVE Act is voter suppression disguised as preventing voter fraud. In a desperate attempt to stay in power, it's the fascist authoritarian Trump regime's NEW SCAM to give the illusion of caring about voter fraud — which is virtually non-existent in US elections, at 0.0001%.

Audre Lorde, in a 1989 commencement address, said, "Remember this, despair is a tool of your enemies. That rumor, 'You can’t fight City Hall,' is circulated by City Hall. Facing the realities of our lives gives us the motivation for action, it gives us the power to change. You are not powerless."

We need a better way to get the 3800+ kids out of ICE detention than this. We know Liam’s name and we can advocate on his behalf, but that isn’t true of almost any of the other people stuck in detention centers.

We have to stop ICE on a systemic level.

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Within half an hour of when Deputy AG Blanche told reporters that DOJ "complied with the statute...we did not protect President Trump," DOJ deleted multiple documents from the database with damning information about Trump. Among those deleted were first-person accounts of Trump raping kids.

ICE Detention Contractors Are Reaping Massive Profits The largest immigrant deportation and prison contractors in the US are expecting an epic payout this year: for every $1

"The largest immigrant deportation and prison contractors in the US are expecting an epic payout this year: for every $1 that they donated to GOP campaigns in 2024, these private companies stand to reap more than $11,000 in increased annual revenue."

There are Senate Democrats who loudly support defunding ICE—which is a reminder that the ones making weaker demands could ask for more too.

Keep calling! As we’ve seen in Minneapolis, a lot of momentum can build in two weeks.

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

Moments of bravery and cowardice in the news coverage of Alex Pretti’s killing | Press Watch Truth-telling is hard when your bosses are bootlickers

It’s been incredibly sad to see the news industry struggle so publicly with whether and how to tell the truth about the wanton, brutal killing of Alex Pretti--someone who did absolutely nothing wrong--at the hands of the masked federal agents terrorizing his city. presswatchers.org/2026/01/mome...
