Trump confused Iceland and Greenland in his speech three times- when reporters point that out, Trump's press secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed the reporter saying that was a lie. This is what a fascist regime looks like. www.mediaite.com/media/news/k...

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Trump is giving a deranged, rambling monologue in Davos to an audience stunned into silence. He sounds incredibly tired, his voice raspy; he keeps trailing off into long pauses. It's jaw-dropping.

The sanewashing headlines are going to say "Trump Doubles Down On Greenland Demand In Davos Speech"

Tennessee 3 State Representative Justin Jones tells propagandist Sean Hannity live on his trashy Fox program that he keeps people fearful on purpose because he’s paid many millions of dollars a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention.

He’s absolutely right.

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.
A YouTube link for those looking for it. No words.

TNR has been chronicling the community response to ICE, from LA to Chicago to Minneapolis. But one thing we haven’t done is simply say this: we all owe them a debt of gratitude.

And to the ICE agents out there causing violence and mayhem, let me say—from the heart—get fucked. trib.al/NMhe5o8

“We are witness to something rare in human history: Abdication by the leader of the global order. We’ve almost never seen a people renounce their leadership of the world—all at once, in public view. That is what has happened in the 365 days since January 20, 2025.”

French judge explains how Trump sent people from the US Embassy to try to intimidate her during Marine Le Pen's trial for embezzlement — and details how he has used similar fascistic tactics to intimidate other judges around the world who rule against his alt-right friends.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.

This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

NEW: In this interview, Chuck Schumer describes the "five buckets" Dems think are key to their possibly winning a Senate majority in 2026: housing, "the high price of food [and] food monopolies playing a major role there," electricity, "the high cost of childcare," and health care.
Zero Chucks Left to Give
Chuck Schumer now sees a path back to the majority. Can he manage his way through it?

DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee.

In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act, a 200+ year-old law that he has not read and does not understand. Nonetheless, he clearly believes it gives him the right to wage war on any American citizens and cancel their Constitutional right to protest his Nazi-inspired policies.

Ceisler defeated GOP sheriff who'd joined the ICE program in November, & ran on quitting it; we reported then:
