Little Mike Johnson just said that if Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is innocent, “He can prove his innocence.“

That’s not how our criminal justice system works; that’s the Napoleonic system. In our system, the government has to prove a person’s guilt.

This isn’t left vs. right.

A President deploying his private police force against Americans should terrify anyone who believes in the Constitution.

How fucking dare they sit there with their sanctimonious podium mouths and sanctified Tweets and tell us that if you put your hands on law enforcement, you will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Breaking NYT:

Federal investigators assigned to the killing of Renee Good are looking into her possible connections to activist groups.

It's in line with the admin's strategy of deflecting blame toward opponents they describe as domestic terrorists — without providing evidence.

Today, we were officially notified by USG that Pres Trump's memo that revoked my security clearance w/o due process is no longer in effect over me. My access eligibility to classified info has been restored.

On Dec 23, 2025, a federal court ruled his action was unconstitutional. Rule of Law wins!

So a new 25% tariff on China and India effective immediately? When do these new tariffs start getting collected? This is on all goods from those countries immediately? What about the limited trade deal we just made with China? That’s over now or is this just more bs?

Is Trump going to terminate his personal business deals with UAE worth a total of $500 million?

They are Iran’s 2nd largest trading partner.

What about the advanced chips we just agreed to sell them?

Are we still selling them $14 billion in Boeing 787s?

In 1964, the Civil Rights Act was passed to bar discrimination based on race. In 1973, Donald Trump & his father were sued by the DOJ for refusing to rent apartments to black people. Civil Rights came into being to stop racist assholes like the Trumps, not to discriminate against white people.

Trump isn’t lowering your bills—he’s boosting polluters’ profits. His reckless invasion of Venezuela is just the latest example of his America Last, Big Oil First agenda—and he’s going to continue selling us out unless we stop him.

Americans don’t want Canada, Venezuela, or Greenland.

They want to be able to afford groceries and have lower health care costs.

Watch the woman with a little girl in her lap running from this chaos around 0:09 second mark. I really cannot believe this is happening in America. 🥲
Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity.

Six-byline alert: 🚨

“.. laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries into dropping their guard, then attacking and killing them. That is a war crime called ‘perfidy.’”

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

This is a big no-no in armed combat.

It’s like dressing up as a doctor or a nurse and then shooting someone.

If this is proven accurate, it’s 100% a war crime.
Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
