“.. After Mr. Trump promised the $100 billion in investments by Big Oil, two people close to the companies attending Friday’s meeting cautioned that they were not aware of any such commitment by the businesses.” 🤡

I wasn't aware of this shooting. It's well reported in the local news but I hadn't seen it in East Coast reporting.
A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Some 600 immigrant kids were sent to federal custody by ICE in 2025.
A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf.
Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn.

He’s going to steal Venezuela’s oil and minerals. And he is starting by stealing Machado’s Nobel Prize.
sometimes things are simply so stupid that i can't get my head around the idea that they are happening.
This is sad on so many levels — about something that was intended to celebrate the best in people.

This is so profoundly horrifying on so many levels. I don't even know what to think or to say about the agent not even devoting his full attention or both hands to threatening to shoot and then actually shooting this woman in the face.
We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands.

New video has emerged of the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The video shows Good speaking in the seconds before the shooting.

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Trump keeps talking about Venezuela agreeing to do tons of stuff for the US oil companies. I've seen zero acknowledgment of any of this from Venezuela officials. Which oil company is gonna trust Trump on this?

Why would Trump stop lying? It's worked for him so far.
Lying has helped him avoid almost all accountability as a sex predator.
Lying has made him billions.
Lying got him out of felonies that would put anyone else in prison.
Lying has made him so powerful that most media won't call his lies "lies."

Amazeballs. But not surprising at all.
First found by @bharatkumarmd.bsky.social on the extremely bad site: yesterday at 8:20 pm, Trump tweeted out jobs numbers that included data that weren’t released until 8:30 am today. It was a copy of a presentation with CEA letterhead.
