Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.
Queue it up, America.
one of my strongest and clearest takeaways from spending all of Lent knee-deep in ICE death reporting is that Camp East Montana should be razed to the ground and every single person who built it, worked there or approved their decisions deserves criminal charges. it is beyond what I imagined.
NPR: “The Trump administration ignored warnings from policy experts when they changed a major policy at the Department of Veterans Affairs — and the result is a wave of foreclosures against veterans.”https://www.rawstory.com/trump-veterans-2676654225/
I appreciate this type of honest commentary from Gen. McCaffrey because it is vital. But I frequently wonder why more retired general and flag officers don't do the same. Retired Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton does it as well. Can't really think of any others.
It's nice to see a Senator talking about the need to Do A Nuremberg on the current folks in charge.
...To understand the scope of Carr's actions, "you have to zoom out and get the big picture of what’s going on," writes @sulliview.bsky.social.
"Trump is trying to control the media as he marches the US from democracy to something more like autocracy, with billionaires helping him at every turn."
If you're interested legacy media's failures in addressing authoritarianism, I urge you to read these two pieces by @sulliview.bsky.social. 1/ margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/america-ha...
A 3-time Trump voter from Pennsylvania was asked what she’d say to the president. No hesitation: “You’re a worthless pile of shit.” Then quietly: “That was my bad. Apparently I’m an idiot.” MAGA is turning on him.
Yikes. I mean, we knew this but it still hurts to be lumped with Colombia. It's lovely and it's people are mostly good, but it is definitely not and hasn't been a safe and un-corrupt country.

NEW: A federal judge dismissed the DOJ’s legal effort to access Michigan’s unredacted voter rolls, ruling that federal law does not require states to disclose the data.
The decision comes after an Oregon judge last week concluded the DOJ can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith.
NEW: VoteVets endorses @avindman.bsky.social for Senate! #FLSen 🇺🇸

We asked for stuff off Musk's phone. The government says they only have to check Musk's government issued phone. We say they should have to check his private phone that he bragged about. The Judge agrees. So we won. The government has to see if Musk has a private phone with records we FOIAd on it.
wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."
This is absolutely insane: DHS claims the right to subpoena your emails and to send investigators to your house. In this case, because a retiree sent the mildest possible criticism to a prosecutor. No judges involved.

Be vigilant and don't buy from these companies??
Abolishing ICE is not enough, says Illinois Congressmember Delia Ramirez. "The entire agency of DHS needs to be dismantled."
Personally I think this is too much money for Donald trumps untrained heavily armed militia

Incredible. The people of Minnesota are inspiring a nation.
A terror organization not a law enforcement organization
NEW: I was one of 3 reporters granted access to the convening of 600+ clergy in Minneapolis this week.
It was a striking show of solidarity with MN clergy resisting ICE, but heralded something else: the emergence of a vast, faith-based network trained to resist ICE. religionnews.com/2026/01/23/i...
