Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip:
He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress.
He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession.
He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law.
Keep fighting.

Again: since there have been no reports of violence against Musk’s Misfits, watch for Trump hack Martin to try to investigate or charge people for merely naming them or publishing their pictures.
U.S. Attorney’s office in DC says it’s “initial review of the evidence presented to us indicates that certain individuals and/or groups have committed acts that appear to violate the law in targeting DOGE employees.”

On this day in 1942, aircraft from the carriers Yorktown and Enterprise mount raids on Japanese forces near the Marshall and Gilbert Islands. The action represents America's first sizeable offensive operation of WW2. It's been just 56 days since Pearl Harbor.

"This just shows how much the orange guy wants to be a king, not a president. He really wants to believe that his signature alone is powerful enough to get rid of things that he does not like. Such childish, reckless behavior should not be allowed in any democracy, yet here we are. " - Tim Mitchell

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

On this day in 1879, 20,000 Zulu warriors wipe out an 1,800-man British column at Isandlwana, South Africa. Less than 10 miles away, 150 troops defending an outpost at Rorke's Drift hold off 4,000 attackers. Victoria Crosses will be awarded to 11 of the survivors.

Today in 1905, Russian troops fire into crowd of peaceful protesters in front of the Tsar's Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, killing more than 100. Known as "Bloody Sunday," the massacre only intensifies the calls for revolution that will eventually topple Russia's monarchy.

The MAGA propaganda machine constantly cranks out tropes implying their political opponents are evil, against God, aligned with the devil, etc.
At the National Prayer Service yesterday, Trump got one gentle admonishment peeling away that narrative and MAGA absolutely lost it.

A British theory from 2005 suggests that, for a variety of reasons, the 3d Monday in January - termed Blue Monday - is the most depressing day of the year. (Google it)

Today in 1793, France's King Louis XVI is executed by guillotine before a Paris mob. "I pardon those who have occasioned my death," he says before the blade falls. The revolution has ridded France of its monarchy, or so many think — in 11 years, Napoleon crowns himself emperor.

Vaccination rates for measles, polio, and whooping cough among U.S. have dropped below herd immunity threshold.
Kindergartners are the first to pay the price.
