The Long Island Aquarium brought 20 African black-footed penguins inside for warmth after extreme cold hit the area.

“Where they’re from they don’t see temperatures like this. Low 40s is probably as low as it’s going to get there,” Maggie Seiler, an assistant curator of penguins and reptiles at the aquarium, told media.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Donald Trump is historically unpopular for a reason.

He has betrayed the American people.

Beef is up.
Coffee is up.
Car prices are up.
Utility bills are up.
And healthcare is about to triple.

He’s done nothing but make Americans poorer and sicker.

No matter what the President says, San Francisco is not asking for the National Guard to come.

There is no lawful basis to deploy the National Guard to San Francisco.

If the President tries to deploy the National Guard to San Francisco, we’ll see him in court.

Eggs: UP
Beef: UP
Bread: UP
Bacon: UP
Chicken: UP
Orange Juice: UP

Don’t believe his lies.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Trump wants to invoke the Insurrection Act to punish anyone who opposes him, and he’s following a four point plan to do it.

Here’s what you need to know about it — and some thoughts on how to respond.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. The plan wasn’t to be made public. Clearly someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

📌 Historic fascists with plenary authority:
• Adolf Hitler
• Benito Mussolini
• Joseph Stalin

Hey, @GregAbbott_TX.

Texas’ homicide rate is 39% higher than California’s.

Call home your National Guard and deal with your crime epidemic.
