Retired, learning to like it. Michigan is my home. Nana extraordinaire.

YOU CLEARLY HAVE A SHITTY GOVERNMENT WHEN THE GOVERNMENT BUYS "SHOCK GLOVES" FOR THEIR SECRET POLICE INSTEAD OF FOOD AND SUPPLIES FOR ITS SAILORS WHO HAVE BEEN STUCK ON A SHIP FOR 8 + MONTHS 😒

On a Metro train in Washington, an American sat surrounded by masked extremists. A journalist was there to record it. Two hundred and fifty years of American history collapsed into a single frame.

Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years.

Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸

May the fourth be with you

They hate us. This is what they think. We are all liars and frauds. Send us to war. Break our bodies. Then force us to spend the rest of our lives begging to earn and now keep our benefits. They are going to use AI to accuse veterans of being liars. Collins is a truly terrible SecVA.

[Fred Guttenberg @fred_guttenberg]

JUST A REMINDER THAT WHEN HE SAID THIS, HE FUCKING LIED!!!

The Commander in Chief lied to America, enabled by elected Republicans.

This will not remove EPSTEIN or the possible rape of a 13 year old girl from the news.

Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.

[Lawrence O'Donnell @Lawrence]

Everything Trump does—every shot fired at an unarmed mother, every starving baby denied USAID nutrition, every racist tweet about the Obamas—was aided and abetted by every Trump voter.

Trump never disguised himself.

Trump has never surprised us & he never will.

Senate Republicans blocked a resolution that would have barred President Donald Trump from further military action in Venezuela without congressional authorization, after the Republican president put pressure on party members who had supported it https://t.co/P5mPfjFdtZ

For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by I.C.E. on January 7, 2026

by Amanda Gorman

They say she is no more,
That there her absence roars,
Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles,
Dark fury of flowers,
Pure howling of hymns.

If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief,
Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater
Of the worst of what we’ve been.

Change is only possible,
& all the greater,
When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love 
& better angels of our nature.

What they call death & void,
We know is breath & voice; 
In the end, gorgeously, 
Endures our enormity. 

You could believe departed to be the dawn
When the blank night has so long stood.
But our bright-fled angels will never be fully gone,
When they forever are so fiercely Good.

Even if you grant that the driver here was going right at the ICE officer. there are clear problems with these statements.

1. The officer was out of the way by the time the driver passed, hence why he shot the SIDE window.
2. Noem claimed the woman was attacking "them" (multiple). That's not true, per video.
3. Noem said the driver was attempting to run "them" over (multiple)
4. Noem says the officers had gotten stuck in the snow (they hadn't, at least per video)
5. McGlaughlin said “The ICE officers who were hurt are expected to make full recoveries.” (which officer in this video is hurt?)

Beyond that, why not just say: there was a tragic incident. we're looking into it. we mourn any loss of life? Unless, of course, you don't mind escalating the tension.

@SenSchumer “Adventurism” is a woefully inadequate term in this instance.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

After decades of failed conflicts, trillions of taxpayer dollars spent, and thousands of lives lost, Americans are struggling to get by and are exhausted by endless wars.

It’s true that Maduro is a brutal dictator. It’s also true that not every problem is ours to fix. But now this one is.

The Trump Administration repeatedly lied to Congress and the American people about Venezuela. Over and over, officials testified that this was not about regime change.

Congress needs an immediate briefing on the Trump Administration's strategy for the day after. Donald Trump has already done incalculable damage to America’s reputation. We have to prevent this from spiraling into another nation-building disaster.

Don’t forget Colin Powell’s “Pottery Barn rule” from before the Iraq War - “You break it. You bought it.”

[The New Republic @newrepublic]

Trump’s second term has been so lurid in its corruption that it was genuinely hard to narrow this list down. But the biggest scandal of all is something Trump didn’t create... https://t.co/sYYTKXT3Oo

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

The Pentagon failed its last 8 audits and gets $901 billion — over half of which goes to the private military contractors donating millions to Congress and Trump.

Meanwhile, Republicans are raising healthcare costs for all Americans because of “fraud.”

[CBS News @CBSNews]

A local photographer visiting the shores of Lake Michigan was greeted by a lighthouse that the frigid temperatures had transformed into an “ice monster."

“Looking up at the ice monster this morning,” Nathan Voytovick wrote in a Facebook post, depicting St. Joseph pier encrusted in a thick layer of ice. “Is it weird that I feel intimidated? FEET of solid ice already.”

[Kathy with a K @kasandman]

@MeghanMcCain Firstly, this is not “beneath” Trump. It is EXACTLY Trump. Secondly, it was unnecessary to repeat the details of their deaths to prove your point.
