This is horrifying and should, in any reasonable world, lead to immediate impeachment. On a hot mic, before the media arrived, starting around 7:15 on the time index, Trump tells Bukele he is going to start sending "homegrown criminals" to El Salvadoran gulags. This is fascism.

Give Trump the credit he deserves. He has simultaneously delivered the worst economic, foreign, natsec, healthcare, education, justice, climate and government management policies in our history. That's a heckuva golden age you've got going there, mister. www.thedailybeast.com/as-golden-ag...

Trump told America he had a deal with far-right El Salvadoran dictator Nayib Bukele to temporary hold U.S. deportees for a fee. Now we know that was a lie. Trump told Bukele he'd _sell_ him bodies to _own_—to be housed in his massive prison (CECOT) until death. America is back in the slave trade.

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

So stupid www.sltrib.com/opinion/bagl...

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

Trump’s tariffs are a tax on American consumers. Trump’s tariffs are a tax on American consumers. Trump’s tariffs are a tax on American consumers. Trump’s tariffs are a tax on American consumers.

Don’t worry, this won’t entirely foreseeably come back to bite us in the ass and kill tens of thousands of innocent Americans

Countries that have issued a travel advisory this year warning their citizens about visiting the United States: Canada Denmark Finland France Germany Ireland Netherlands New Zealand United Kingdom

The Trump regime will round you up off the street and arrest you because you spoke your mind. And federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it. It's fascism. Call it what it is.

DOGE has attacked life-saving programs, including: -Malaria & HIV/AIDS prevention -NOAA forecasting & FEMA disaster response -USDA food safety -FAA aviation safety -FDA flu vaccine research This will result in needless suffering — all to pave the way for billionaire tax cuts.

A new analysis reveals that Trump’s tax plan will “actively transfer money from low-income people to the top 0.1% of income earners.” 🔗: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

To repeat: Musk is an enemy of America; enemy of Europe; enemy of the West; enemy of democracy.

One more time for the people in the back.

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

Trump wants to gut Social Security but he just spent neatly $11 million in one month of our tax dollars to play golf. Trump is the Marie Antoinette of America--and we all know how that story ended. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Criminals are running amok inside our government and nothing will be done about it because—oh, that’s right!—America voted for a convicted criminal to be in charge of all federal law enforcement See how that works

One of the most important websites in America right now.

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Today’s front page of the largest newspaper in Quebec, Canada and they nailed it 🤣🎯

This massive and urgent report tells the truth about what is actually happening inside our government now. The upshot: it is not our government anymore.

These cowards are unbelievable. They’re mostly arresting law-abiding undocumented immigrants who _aren’t_ criminals, _aren’t_ violent and _work hard_. What they do is they make sure they pick up one or two guys who actually needed to be deported—people Democrats also would have deported—for cameras.

Yep.

1. IT WAS NEVER ABOUT "WOKE" Trump just repealed an executive order that established basic non-discrimination requirements for federal contractors It has been in place for 60 years It survived Nixon, Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II And now it is gone

This is how you do it...

A sampling of his EOs on day 1: - Withdraw from the Paris climate accord & WHO - End constitutional birthright citizenship - Reclassify federal employees, making them easier to fire - fed policy recognizing only two genders - pause the TikTok ban ...

Angles matter.

The blanket pardon covers hundreds of felony rioters who were guilty of assaulting police officers, attacking members of the media, obstructing police during a riot, and destroying government property. www.cnn.com/2025/01/21/p...

NEW: Federal judges spent the last business day before Trump's inauguration grappling with how to convey the gravity of the Jan. 6 attack against a pro-Trump movement angling to erase it from history. w/ @_alibianco www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

Today is January 6, the anniversary of the felon/GOP’s violent insurrection trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power in the 2020 election! We remember 140 officers who were injured & those who lost their lives due to the attack on the Capitol! Hold all involved in the insurrection accountable!
