🚨NEW: Stephen Colbert's opening tonight will forever be remembered as one of the most powerful moments of late-night comedy in modern history.

This is a must-watch. Damn. 🔥

@KTLA Oh for heavens sake. Are there no sane people left in the US government? Trump has to distract us from a spat with his best billionaire buddy so he has to declare war on Los Angeles???? WTF.

🚨🇺🇸 DAVID HUERTA, PRESIDENT OF SEIU CALIFORNIA, INJURED AND DETAINED IN LOS ANGELES ICE RAID

David Huerta, who leads SEIU California (the state’s largest union representing over 750,000 workers including healthcare professionals and janitors), was injured and detained while observing an ICE raid in Los Angeles.

SEIU California Executive Director Tia Orr demanded his immediate release and medical care, calling Huerta’s actions consistent with his record of fighting for immigrant workers’ rights.

The union condemned the raids as harmful and divisive, and urged an end to the crackdown on immigrant workers who power the economy.

ICE raids hit across Los Angeles today—and locals are rising up. This is what resistance looks like. ✊🏽

This was about an hour ago…

BREAKING: CNN just exposed Donald Trump for agreeing to a deal with Canada that had already been negotiated by President Biden. Donald Trump, for all his bluster, received nothing in return. This is yet another example of Trump’s incompetence.

I submitted my resignation last week…my 2 year term was already up 🤷‍♂️😅

I was honored to serve as co-chair of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. My fellow council members - unpaid volunteers like me - were hardworking, talented people who inspired me every day. I’m proud of what we accomplished on behalf of the American people…like a historic partnership between the White House and every major sports league to increase access to sports and health programs for kids.

I hope @realdonaldtrump exercises his presidential authority so the Council can continue to advocate for fitness and good health for all Americans. These are bipartisan issues…nonpartisan issues.

May God give you the wisdom, Mr. President, to put politics and name calling aside…and instead lift up the everyday people working to bring America together. Let’s build longer tables….

Hispanic advocacy groups and others expressed confusion at the abrupt change and frustration at what some called the administration’s lack of efforts to maintain communication with the Latino community, which helped propel him to the presidency. https://t.co/x30zMGnpLL

1. Want some fun news before the Monday inauguration that you won't have heard anywhere else? The antitrust enforcers (Lina Khan et al) went full Tony Montana on big business this week before Trump people took over. Here's just part of what they did.

@LeslieMarshall Wait wait wait, don’t tell me! That’s what is called a “rhetorical question”, right?

Should @AOTUS11_Shogan publish it in the Federal Register?

Sure. Yes, absolutely.

Does her inaction make it not-part of the Constitution?

No, absolutely not.

The Constitution gives no such power to a random, unelected librarian. Not even close.

@jemelehill View towards the (burning) mountains from my street in Pasadena this morning. We survived the night but so many have lost everything. #eatoncanyonfire

[Rooted in Resistance @RootedinResist1]

@madrid_mike Yes, definitely not sleeping tonight.

@vmcernadas I’ve been here 65 years. We have NEVER experienced anything like this.

@RockyResistor @edgarrmcgregor Same to you, they say that one is exploding. The fires are spreading so fast once they ignite

[Rooted in Resistance @RootedinResist1]

@RockyResistor @edgarrmcgregor With these winds, no one is sleeping tonight😩

[Rooted in Resistance @RootedinResist1]

@US_Stormwatch Shit that is just south of us. We are sandwiched between the two fires now

@TCDMS99 We’ve been out of water for years.

[Rooted in Resistance @RootedinResist1]

@TCDMS99 Oh no, I use to live there. Oh my god, this is just horrific.
