Newly unsealed evidence makes it even clearer that Rubio and Noem knew they were targeting students based solely on their political speech and that they knew this policy was unconstitutional. They just didn’t care. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

The broad consensus was that Mark Carney gave the best speech at Davos while Trump gave a whiny, low-energy snooze-fest where he kept mixing up countries, so naturally Trump is posting that he won’t be Carney’s friend which undoubtedly devastates Carney and Canadians everywhere.

206 House Democrats voted to shut down DHS today. 7 Democrats voted to fund it.
That’s like 3% of democrats. Easily fixable. No need to abandon the party over 3%.
However, 100% of ICE sucks. Abolish ICE.

If someone says you shouldn't let politics get in the way of friendship/family, tell them that you hope they die a needless death from preventable disease.
After all, needless death from preventable disease is "just politics" to them, so they don't think stuff like this is a big deal.

The Democratic voter who needs to be excited, rather than disciplined and focused, is why Trump has twice come into office with full control of the WH and Congress.
Yes, heaven forbid that the Democratic Party ever again nominate a candidate that Democratic voters are actually excited about. We learned our lesson in 1972, right? The party, its consultants and wealthiest donors must decide and the voters will just have to suck it up.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.
