I doubt @RealDonaldTrump will pause to listen to Officer Daniel Hodges' story about Jan 6, but you should:

“I was beaten, crushed, kicked, punched. All these people were just pardoned by Trump who says they were the real victims. I don’t understand how anyone can believe that.”

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Americans need to know who Donald Trump pardoned this week. It’s important.

Thomas Webster led the charge to break into the Capitol. He beat officers with a metal pole, held one down so rioters could brutally kick him.

He walked out of jail this week, freed by his leader.

By withdrawing from the World Health Organization and overhauling aid, Trump's new executive orders endanger Americans and the globe, researchers warn. The move also cedes U.S. power to other nations. https://t.co/z3b7U7n3go

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

JUST IN: The Fraternal Order of Police, the largest police union in the U.S. that endorsed Trump in the last election, has issued a statement condemning his pardon of the violent January 6 rioters.

“Crimes against law enforcement are not just attacks on individuals or public safety —they are attacks on society and undermine the rule of law. Allowing those convicted of these crimes to be released early diminishes accountability and devalues the sacrifices made by courageous law enforcement officers and their families.

When perpetrators of crimes, especially serious crimes, are not held fully accountable, it sends a dangerous message that the consequences for attacking law enforcement are not severe, potentially emboldening others to commit similar acts of violence.”

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have deeply, deeply misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

A Danish member of the European Parliament forcefully rejected President Trump’s proposal for the U.S. to acquire Greenland, telling the newly inaugurated commander in chief to “f‑‑‑ off.”

Images from the swearing-in show President Trump did not put his hand on a Bible as he was sworn in by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. His right hand was raised while his left arm stayed at his side. https://t.co/224WvsH65l

WHO comments on United States announcement of intent to withdraw

The World Health Organization regrets the announcement that the United States of America intends to withdraw from the Organization.

WHO plays a crucial role in protecting the health and security of the world’s people, including Americans, by addressing the root causes of disease, building stronger health systems, and detecting, preventing and responding to health emergencies, including disease outbreaks, often in dangerous places where others cannot go.

The United States was a founding member of WHO in 1948 and has participated in shaping and governing WHO’s work ever since, alongside 193 other Member States, including through its active participation in the World Health Assembly and Executive Board.
For over seven decades, WHO and the USA have saved countless lives and protected Americans and all people from health threats. Together, we ended smallpox, and together we have brought polio to the brink of eradication. American institutions have contributed to and benefited from membership in WHO.

With the participation of the United States and other Member States, WHO has over the past 7 years implemented the largest set of reforms in its history, to transform our accountability, cost-effectiveness, and impact in countries. This work continues.

We hope the United States will reconsider and we look forward to engaging in constructive dialogue to maintain the partnership between the USA and WHO, for the benefit of the health and well-being of millions of people around the globe.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Watching so many people having spent money to go to the inauguration, and then Trump canceling it because he’s worried about the pictures and small crowds, is a perfect picture of his whole relationship with his supporters.

They give and give, he takes and takes.

MAGA in DC being told that Trump just said the inaugur will be inside: “So we’re not gonna see it in person? I don’t like it. We came all the way from OK. We might as well stayed home & watched it on TV. It sucks. We have farms. We don’t get to not feed the cows cause it’s cold.”

JSB and Perdue Farms agreed to settlements of $4 million each, while QSA, which employed 54 children, will pay $400,000. https://t.co/vtvUsq6983

Since the inauguration is moving indoors, here is a suggestion for decorations so the “law and order” guy see what supporters did. Just make it as it was on Jan 6, 2021.

The South Dakota Public Schools Coalition says public education is already struggling to keep up with inflation costs, and Noem’s proposal to allocate 4 million dollars to fund $3,000 vouchers for select students is a misguided use of resources.
