Air conditioning. Cereal. I like to get the daily news.
Yeahhhhhhhh obviously?
The attacker followed multiple right-wing accounts on X, like Charlie Kirk and Ben Shapiro. On Facebook, his profile picture was Trump multiple times and he regularly criticized Democratic politicians.

All of this seems to indicate the attack was fueled by his political sentiments. trib.al/U4mbUX0

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN.

We critique DC Dems here because on the whole THEY SUCK. If you don't like that, it's OK to block and unfollow me. It's a big world and you are a free person as am I.

This is the moment Donald Trump became pr—💥 💥💥💥💥💥
A few hours ago the msm unquestioningly repeated the White House spin that Trump had changed his “tone.”
Um, holy shit? This has gotta be up there in the most crass & worse things Trump has ever said

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

Ma’am I thought you were going to whoop his ass
I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Legitimately a feat of carefully calculated writing to issue a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement of this length without mentioning either (1) the people who perpetrated the Holocaust or (2) the people against whom they perpetrated it

Can't stress enough that when the opponent is reeling, you have to keep throwing punches before they can recover; and luckily, because the fistfight analogy only goes so far, we can all keep throwing and throwing and throwing without fear of draining our gas tanks

Yes! People constantly forget that only one party brings us to the edge over and over and over again, and they vote as such.
And without a sustained movement in the other direction this will probably work. Voters have acutely short memories. I’m not even talking about end of trump 1.0 and then him winning again, I’m talking about after the civil war the Democratic Party getting back in power. I’m talking about other…
something very annoying will happen after there’s a next Dem president. An example of Immigrant Crime will occur and the gop will go full blitz with SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DONT LET US AND TRUMP DO THE THING, and wayyyy too many in the media will let them do it as if it were normal…

I would LOVE to know who this guy - who certainly seems Hispanic - thinks ICE will come for once all the Somalis have been deported.

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.

This is correct ofc but also it doesn’t matter if it was true anyway. You don’t get to make up a reason to send your death squad somewhere, kill people, lie about it and then because there’s video start “softening” your tone and get points for that.
Trump is not doing this and the media is lying to you because they want to take him to the dance and kiss

Man and that first meal following the colonoscopy is 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
The colonoscopy is fine, the prep is not, especially if the clear broth you got was spicy
For one writer, it turns out that, despite everything he'd heard, getting a colonoscopy was wonderful. nyti.ms/3ZBRdZe

Even in Pool’s scenario here, he is not wearing the boot; he’s basking in the reflected glory of those wearing the boots and doing the stomping, and he’ll be ok only as long as they allow him to be - ie as long he continues licking the boot. Total loser shit.
This is embarrassingly on-the-nose textbook “psychology of fascism” stuff. Bitter, impotent tools getting to feel powerful by proxy watching brutality done on their behalf.
Tim Pool: “I’m not licking the boot. It’s my boot. I voted for it. I’m the one stomping…”

This mindset is genuinely pathetic.

It’s an alpha fantasy: watching state violence and imagining you’re exercising power rather than the one submitting to it.

It's so crazy that the Democrats can't do anything when they are in the minority to the extent that they may as well not hold office at all, and then, as soon as they have the majority, they can't do anything because they are being procedurally blocked in ways that leave them just as helpless.
If I say I think the Dems need to do better as an opposition party the dumbest segment of Bluesky will take that as me supporting Republicans somehow lol

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

ICE leaving Minneapolis isn’t the end of anything, it would be cathartic and possibly curb some of the building revolutionary anger and energy.

Nothing is over until ICE is abolished, its criminals imprisoned, the Trump Admin is run out of power, and a new and fairer future is realized.
January 26, 2026 at 10:56 PM
Yes BUT what is the position of the made up conservatives who guide his every decision
“Abolish ICE” is literally the MODERATE position in America today. Not even the position Schumer’s constituents are demanding. The MODERATE position is “abolish.”
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.

We’re gonna have a bunch of people who once again forget that the GOP again brought us to the brink and treat “restraint” as some sensible act of good will rather than a thing they were forced to do after killing people, and people like Schumer help them along in that process and he’s such a loser
"Restrain, reform and restrict ICE" is the most typical, loser-ass shit aimed at the imaginary centrist voter.

Schumer has to go before he does more damage.
