Michelle Obama said "DO SOMETHING"! There is a LOT of very bad shit happening right now & the ACLU is overwhelmed with making sure our civil liberties remain intact. HELP them by donating! DO SOMETHING! www.aclu.org

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Saturday announced retaliatory tariffs against the US in response to President Donald Trump's tariff plan.

CAIRO (AP) — Powerful Arab nations on Saturday rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s suggestion to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring Egypt and Jordan.

Horrible.

One more week of sanity.

Los Angeles firefighters braced for high winds overnight into Tuesday, gusts that could fuel two monstrous wildfires that have already leveled entire neighborhoods, killed at least two dozen people, and burned an area the size of Washington, D.C. reut.rs/40uYc7v

While Mexico, Canada, and now Ukraine send firefighters to LA, the president-elect was playing golf in a hat that says Trump Was Right About Everything. MTG suggests cloud seeding. Byron Donald's says Newsom can't keep the forest clean of leaves. If there's a God it's time for her to show up.

If you don’t have a local library card, it should be your New Year’s resolution to get one. It’s an easy resolution to keep and you’ll actually use it, trust me.

I talked to the Black residents of Altadena who say they’ve lost everything but hope. “When you escape tragedy, you say, ‘it could have got me.’ It didn’t. So I’m going to keep on going,” said 83-year-old Walt Butler.

We need to make this the standard for Democratic leader intensity when discussing MAGA party BS. Anything less is a demonstration of tip toeing through life, trying to make it quietly to death.

WHOA! THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FRAUD. GOP Rep. Kay Granger (TX-12) has been missing for six months. She was just found by a reporter in a dementia care facility. Her staff and others have been keeping this a secret from her constituents. So who’s been making these posts?

Rand Paul had been in the Senate since 2011. He is the nepo baby of Ron Paul who served 12-terms in Congress and ran for President 3 times. He’s literally the “swamp” like few others. The self awareness of an amoeba.

Former West Virginia chief of police, Larry Clay, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for child sex trafficking.

LMAO, Chris Rock on President Biden pardoning his son, Hunter: "He don't move as fast as he used to, he don't talk as fast as he used to, but that middle finger still works!" 😂
