So which party is always crying election fraud, but always guilty?

DOJ admits two Doge employees turned Social Security data over to a group trying to “overturn election results in certain states.” The data was compared to state voter rolls, in violation of the Hatch Act, and our privacy. 🧵

🇺🇸🇨🇦 Former Yale professor and fascism expert, Jason Stanley explains his recent move to Canada. He purposefully left US because he sees all the signs of fascism in the US.

He says the problem isn’t polarization, it’s that one side is fascist.

The memory of the Holocaust is not a fixed legacy; it requires constant vigilance against the harm born of the hatred of the other.
Across the globe we use this day, January 27, to honor the Jewish victims and millions of other victims of Nazi persecution.

Mike Johnson is basically Sargent Schultz from the old 60s TV show, Hogan’s Heroes. He “knows nothing.” He “sees nothing.” And like Schultz, he’s on the wrong effing side.
Today we will find out that Mike Johnson knows nothing about the shooting in MN.

Data consistently shows that the most religious US states have higher rates of incarceration, gun violence, low education & obesity. Scroll down and see why!🧵

Research links high incarceration to strict criminal justice policies, punitive social norms, and less rehabilitation.

He’s not a doctor, he just plays one on TV. But he knows with misinformation, Trump cuts to Medicare, and its ramifications, will damage all areas of the health care system. The perfect storm of unsustainability.

US National Parks offer free admission on most federal holidays. #MartinLutherKingJr Day has been on the list since 2011, but was REMOVED from the 2026 list.

The NAACP says the removal of free entry on #MLKDay is the Trump Admin trying to suppress Black history & #DEI.

National Park Service scrapped free entry on MLK Day this year
The National Park Service started free entry days in 2009. The selection and number of days have varied, but Martin Luther King Jr. Day has been on the list ever since 2011.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
