E. Jean Carroll: This is a man who wears apricot makeup, with his hair twirled around his head like Barbara Stanwyck in Ball of Fire. I was so close—I heard almost every single thing he said. The farting—you wanted to know about that? It was a silent one… sort of.

Good News: The Los Angeles Dodgers have permanently denied ICE access to their stadium and parking lots. Because everyone knows violent criminals hang out at baseball games. ICE is wasting time, resources, and our tax dollars with these inane tactics.

More of this, please. Thank you.

Brutal.

"A panel of judges on the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday denied Trump's request to have Justice Department lawyers argue in his appeal of columnist E. Jean Carroll's defamation case against Trump." abcnews.go.com/US/appeals-c...

This article details how Trump has sidelined two of his worst cabinet choices—Hegseth and Gabbard—during deliberations over Iran. Everyone knew they should never have been appointed. But Trump did it anyway and now it would be embarrassing to fire them. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Pete Hegseth’s job was to prosecute domestic culture war, pushing to re-segregate and intellectually degrade the US military. He wasn’t supposed to have to manage the Defense Department during times of international crisis.

In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

Russia is throwing Iran under the bus after Iran saved Russia in Ukraine. LOL The worst ally in the world is Russia

The top .1% stops paying into social security by January 19th. Scrapping the cap would generate up to $388 billion per year and keep Social Security solvent. Social Security is only being depleted because we refuse to make people pay their fair share.

Victor Avila, a 66-year-old legal assistant — and a green card holder for 58 years — was detained after visiting his son, who is a member of the U.S. Air Force.

WATCH: The official social media account for the U.S. Border Patrol posted a bizarre "hype video" to celebrate an ICE raid on a flea market in Santa Fe.

The dirty little secret of Trumpism and the MAGA movement is that behind all the rhetoric, it is effectively the same, reheated platform that Republicans have been pushing for as long as I've covered politics, says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on the push for foreign wars and tax cuts.

So...kinda thinking, who's gonna be on the firing pool next? -Stephen Miller (given he's acting President basically) -Tulsi Gabbard -Pete Hesgeth -Kristy Noem These four feel like the closest given they get the most mention in the press.

It's that simple.

So not made in the USA?

Trump turned a speech at Fort Bragg into a campaign rally, using our troops as props to push his partisan MAGA agenda. The military serves the country, not a political party.

Trump is shredding our Constitution and tanking our economy. Thom Tillis lacks the courage to stand up to him — I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit on the sidelines.   I’m running to fight for a better future for North Carolinians.   Join our campaign — let’s take back the Senate.

Trump’s stupid parade was a pathetic embarrassment, just like his presidencies.

Padilla on Noem: "How does the cabinet secretary not know the senator from California when she steps foot into Los Angeles? She came through the Senate for confirmation."

At any time during the kerfuffle with @padilla.senate.gov, DHS secretary Kristi Noem could have called off the goons She didn't because she's a performative cosplaying thug who lives for theater and feared the questions coming from CA's senior senator Alex Padilla

DAMN!! What the fuck.🤬

In a Gangster State, the dear leader wastes other people's money on military parades to broadcast his fake strength, attacks the legislative branch and destroys programs that benefit the people.

Exactly!

Power of the people > The people in power

Trump’s parade in D.C. will feature more than 5 million pounds of the government’s machinery. The No Kings gatherings across America will feature more than 5 million of the country’s people.

Everyone should look on the bright side: We have no idea if Trump will send Seal Team Six after Gov. Newsom. But at least we know that, if Trump did it, he’d be immune from criminal prosecution for doing it.

Trumpism proceeds by the successive breaking of taboos. Each time a new one is broken, the previous one is normalized, made to look not so bad by comparison. The manhandling and cuffing of Sen. Alex Padilla was a red-line moment.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

He's my sorry Senator. I call and write him but he is unresponsive to constituents ... oh, a pro-forma letter might be sent out by an intern. But he is only responsive to his boss, Trump.

“Even the LAPD said that the immigration protests were peaceful.” “ … it’s designed to distract focus away from Trump’s self-inflicted economic turmoil and the reality that the administration’s big ugly bill will devastate American families, while giving tax breaks to the ultra wealthy.”

The virus behind the “kissing disease” mono has been linked to an array of serious illnesses later in life. A scientist who caught it as a teenager is leading the race to develop a vaccine

It appears the peace treaty hasn’t been negotiated yet.

The return of Abrego-Garcia to face due process in the US, after Trump officials swore he would never ever return to the US, is a reminder that politics matters and pressure works. Don’t give up. Don’t let the fascists relax.

I loathe Musk as much as anyone else but for a sitting president to openly threaten a private citizen over what political donations he or she chooses to make is a reminder of how authoritarian this country is becoming by the day - by the hour even!

ICE knows exactly what they're doing. Inciting riots in LA. This is coming to a head, and it's infuriating. There's no reason to be assaulting Americans except they want to. They hate America, and so does Donald Trump. We shouldn't be here right now, Elon Musk!!

You guys are keeping us safe from the veterans and the US Marshall you arrested? Keeping us safe from little kids with cancer you deported? The Americans you all kicked out of the house in their underwear when you knocked on the wrong door? Okay, Todd. 🧑‍🍳💋 #ICE #Immigration #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

Keeping an eye on this. It could be beneficial if blue states joined together to provide essential services to their people.
