U.K., including Prince Harry, voices outrage at Trump’s Afghanistan remarks — (Huge damage to US. The Brits, Canadians, French, Danes and others suffered significant casualties and were courageous fighters. Shameful remarks.)

NYT Ed Board: One year ago, Trump took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he has focused on using the presidency to enrich himself.

A review by the editorial board shows that Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1,408,500,000.

The president took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he’s focused his second term on enriching himself and his family.

Taking over Greenland is not a joke. Trump is sending messages to foreign leaders and making threats that will destroy the most important alliance we have. Are Republicans in Congress and Marco Rubio really ready to throw NATO away because they’re too afraid to stand up to Trump?

"Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize."

President Trump is stress-testing American law, and the law is failing the test. The health of the American experiment rests far more on the integrity of any given American president than we realized. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/o...

📌If we can agree fascism is here, there is only one question worth asking: Just what in the hell do we intend to do about it?

A chilling look at where we are, and what we and our so-called leaders MUST do next …

Make no mistake about it, fascism has arrived in America. Are we ready to deal with it?

@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social with a primer for Democrats to focus on in the run up to the midterms.

"Here’s a simple one-two-three program: tariffs, ICE, and Epstein. And, if it’s helpful, here’s a simple mnemonic to TIE those things together."

"Democrats need to start pressuring corporate America to resist the backsliding into autocracy, chaos, and violence. Silence should no longer be an option."

WOW! An absolute must-read from @therickwilson.bsky.social on what must be done to, not only "stop it", but to "end it" completely. This reads like the outline of a potential Project 2029. Any Democrat not signing on to this plan should lose their primary.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have tried to silence me for speaking out.

Today, I’m fighting back because this isn’t just about me. This is about the rights of all retired veterans and all Americans, and I’m not going to let this Administration take those away.

Minneapolis is the latest community to experience violence at the hands of ICE and CBP. We saw it in North Carolina too. Federal immigration officers have been abusing their power and violating people's rights.

Our people have said: enough is enough.
