Trump White House staffers were seen loading around 15 boxes of documents onto the rear of Air Force One.   Team Trump says the boxes contain the classified documents the FBI seized  from Trump's Florida home in 2022.

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.

Some of the programs at risk support drought-prone populations and school feeding programs in Africa, outreach to youth at risk of recruitment to extremist organizations like the Islamic State group, and public health efforts focused on HIV/AIDS, sources say.

💪 you heard that right

Pritzker: "We're talking about the death of a constitutional republic. That's what happened in Germany in 1933, 1934. And we're seeing today that we've got an administration in Washington that's ignoring court orders."

UPDATE: The charges against her have been dropped “in the interest of justice” (she bit one of the brownshirts that assaulted her) and the private security firm has lost their license to operate. I hope she sues them into oblivion.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

We asked the American people which government agencies DOGE should target.

A labor economist told KCUR's Up To Date that Kansas City does not have enough available jobs in the area to make up for all the local federal workers getting laid off by the Trump administration.

Buttigieg’s response to Trump vis Twitter, on multiple levels:

My firm is willing to represent pro bono those fired in this unlawful and vindictive purge. These dedicated civil servants were performing their jobs and upholding the rule of law.

On Air Force One from Las Vegas to Miami, President Trump says Palestinians in Gaza should be relocated. “I’d like Egypt to take people. I’d like Jordan to take people,” he tells reporters.”We just clean out that whole thing.”

As an Austrian, Musk‘s salute looked like it came straight from the Third Reich. Nie wieder ist jetzt und jetzt dürfen wir diese Normalisierung nicht zulassen.

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

So when all was said and done, the only country that opened it's prisons and sent crazy murderous criminals to prey upon innocent American citizens, was us.

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

THESE are the people that Donald Trump just pardoned. Meanwhile, one of Joe Biden's final acts was to grant a preemptive pardon to the POLICE OFFICERS that dared to testify to Congress. #J6Pardons

Trump has rescinded Biden’s Executive Order 14087, “Lowering Prescription Drug Costs for Americans,” which included things like lowering state Medicaid costs for the most expensive therapeutics, reducing Medicare payments for proven drugs, and creating a flat, $2 Medicare copay for generic drugs

With Trump scheduled to be sworn in as president again in just 10 days… now is the time to connect with leaders and likeminded individuals who are already fighting back against the worst of what’s to come. I highly recommend connecting with everyone in this Starter Pack! 🇺🇸 go.bsky.app/C6R7bd1

In an effort to ignore the hideous reality we are all facing, here's a picture of me as a cowboy for no apparent reason. 🤠

AXIOS: “There have been more jobs gained under Biden's term than under the full terms of former Presidents Trump, Obama, or George W. Bush.” www.axios.com/2025/01/10/i...

Donald Trump wants you talking about Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal to distract you from the fact that he won't be bringing down the price of groceries, and everything from housing, to healthcare, to other basic necessities are about to get a lot more expensive.
