The Trump admin has shut down the CIA’s World Factbook, a country reference that for six decades has provided data on birth and death rates, major exports, and more. Long used by government officials and by researchers, educators, and journalists, the database was taken offline today.

The next thing I want to hear about the Epstein files in that everybody in them has been arrested. I’m sick and tired of hearing drips and drabs coming out of them without anything being done.

Its great shopping local. Go back to malls. Avoid anything these tech geeks touch.

People are mad at congressional dems for something congress doesn't actually do.

Yeah, they've been a shitty opposition party but...

IT'S THE PRESIDENT'S CABINET THAT INVOKES THE 25th.

Stop screaming about the dems not doing it.

That island he wants is full of rare earth minerals.
Out of the paywall for today only:

China has implemented new export controls for rare earth minerals and magnets. The changes could upend the shift to electric vehicles.

Did the stock market tanking get the attention of our Republican reps today?

When the republicans start grumbling, you know it’s bad. Or maybe it’s good. 🤨 Are republicans finally awake?

With ‘Martin Luther King Jr. Day’ yesterday and ‘Free America Walkout’ today, we are having an extended wetland cleanup weekend. Mahalo to the extra volunteers and everyone who stands up for Democracy, the environment, and each other. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

Our cleanups are crucial for ocean health, as they directly remove harmful debris and microplastics, protect habitats, and provide data to drive policy changes against pollution. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoastalCleanup #OceanHealth #ClimateChange

She would have made a great president
Up to $125 million to rename the Department of Defense.

But they can't find the money to lower premiums for Americans crushed by health care costs.

It is now clear why Trump has spent billions on a private army.

In the end, local PDs - whose officers live in the neighborhoods being terrorized - will choose their neighbors over fascists.

The regular military won’t turn on citizens either.

That leaves ICE. And a showdown.

God help us.

More white collar crime and they’re republicans! Imagine that.
“It is me who tried to buy all of your love": The strange relationship that ex-pro-wrestlers Ted DiBiase Jr. and Brett DiBiase shared with John Davis, the ex-Mississippi welfare chief who sent millions in funds meant for needy families their way, took center stage in federal court on Friday.

The odd relationship between the mastermind of the Mississippi welfare scandal and two ex-wrestlers was on display in Ted DiBiase Jr.’s trial.

I think I’m done arguing with idiots who want democrats to do something but won’t tell you what they want them to do. Or give a list of things they’re already doing but aren’t aware of it.

ICE must be disbanded.
What happened in Minneapolis today is an inexcusable tragedy. My heart is with the victim's family and loved ones.

One thing is clear: ICE is out of control. We have to listen to local leaders warning that ICE is putting communities in danger.

ICE must leave Minneapolis now.

People, you can’t impeach a president if you don’t have enough votes. Republicans still have the majority even if their numbers are dwindling. A nice civics class is needed very badly in this country.

The only reason why I’m watching anything on Paramount right now is it’s free for a while. I wouldn’t pay for this crap or any streaming service that puts money in any maga pocket.

I’m seeing this more and more too. We have to get it together or we’ll have a JD potus. Is that what democrats want?
I really don’t understand people who are on the left but who spend more time complaining about Democrats than they do complaining about Trump’s party and its authoritarianism. And committing to vote against them. Even if the Democratic candidate doesn’t agree with them on some of their issues.
