As Churchill said, when you're going through hell, keep going.
We have a long four years ahead of us, we must not - we will not - give up the fight.
I'm with Leslie Jones. Female journalists should not put up with Trump's abuse. If this occurred in a business environment, it would not be tolerated.
This is the way 💥 ☠️ 🤣

This John Greenleaf Whittier quote strikes a chord with me: "Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'It might have been'".

Imagine what the GOP outcry would have been if when they were president, Biden or Obama sued one of our government agencies.
Exploding heads would have been heard across the country.

Chances are good that Kristi Noem is not a student of history.
"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now.

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day that we say "never again". As we remember the Holocaust, it's important to understand that it did not begin with gas chambers.
It began with
- dehumanizing language
- legal erosion
- mass detention
- state propaganda

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social stop wasting time with threats that will go nowhere.
Trump is not going to fire Noem. TAKE ACTION - INITIATE IMPEACHMENT NOW.
Donald Trump must fire Kristi Noem immediately.

Or Democrats will initiate impeachment proceedings against her in the House.

We can do this the easy way or the hard way.

Stephen Miller had wording that protected American citizens from deportation stripped from the funding bill that is now before the Senate.
Let that sink in: this government wants the ability to arrest Americans and deport them. NO ONE is safe with this regime in power.
Rachel Maddow relays a warning by Rep. Veronica Escobar that her amendment to the bill to fund Homeland Security that would ban the deportation of Americans citizens was stripped out of the bill by WH deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller before the bill was voted on.

Let this sink in: an imprisoned 5 year old (one of a set of twins) created this drawing. She and her family have been imprisoned for 8 months for crimes that a relative has committed.

Although Schumer has stated that “Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.” Fetterman is planning to break with Democrats. Fetterman must be primaried, Pennsylvania deserves better representation.

Wondering if Trump's "concept of a deal" on Greenland is as solid as his "concept of a plan" for healthcare.

And yet the MAGAts continue to go on about how "Trump doesn't keep his salary; he donates it to charity."
@nytimes.com is reporting that krasnov made around $1.5 BILLION in his first year back in the wh!!!

Suggesting that the VP and Cabinet invoke the 25th amendment is like pissing in the wind. They're all promoting self interests and feel no loyalty to our country. They pledge allegiance to Trump on a daily basis. The only way to remove Trump is for GOP Congress members to grow a spine and impeach.
January 20, 2026 at 4:32 PM
i.e., do not retaliate against Trump's retaliation.
BARTIROMO: What do you want to say about the European Union pushing back and saying they're not going to complete their trade deal with the US because of Greenland?

BESSENT: I'd tell everyone sit back. Take a deep breath. Do not retaliate. Do not retaliate. Have an open mind.

Trump has sent a letter to Norway's Prime Minister stating that "he no longer feels obligation to think only of peace" because he was not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Trump is a bitter, demented, and vindictive old man, and is a disgrace to our country.

That's why they should be known as "See BS".
Hi guys!

CBS “News” blatantly lied to us about the fictitious “internal injuries” of Jonathan Ross to help spread propaganda for the admin.

That should piss you off.

DO NOT BACK DOWN.

Trump says it would be a "great honor" to accept Machado's Nobel Peace Prize. He can put it on a shelf with the FIFA Peace Prize, and Purple Hearts that he eagerly took from veterans who actually earned them. If there's still room on the shelf I can send him my daughter's soccer participation medal

Leavitt on protestors giving ICE the finger: "People don't do this without encouragement from people in power who make them feel that it's okay."

So it's okay for Trump to give a Ford factory worker the finger, but not for protestors to do the same to ICE.

She is pathetic.

From the NY Times:

Breaking news: Greenland and Denmark officials leave White House meeting with no agreement.

This should not be a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention.

From today's @bostonglobe.com

"When the President tells his fellow Republicans that they have to hang on to the House in November, what he means is: 'Save me'."
Impeaching Trump should be a focus of Democrats’ midterms strategy - The Boston Globe
The other affordability crisis is the rising cost of a president waging war against his own people.
