Not to mention that T has seized an unquantified amount of Venezuelan oil and is apparently depositing the proceeds into an offshore account.

The man is unhinged, crazy, and has access to the nuclear codes. John Kelly said aides restrained him from a preemptive nuclear strike on NK the first time. He has already launched preemptive (non-nuclear) strikes around the world. Can we talk about his manifest unfitness as Commander in Chief?

US soldiers say commanders are telling them they're fighting for 'Armageddon' People are growing increasingly uneasy as President Donald Trump's attacks on Iran are looking more and more like they could be part of a right-wing religious fanatic's fantasy for the apocalyptic. Th...

We should all be afraid of Hegseth's rhetoric and the talk of Armageddon among some of his military commanders, according to whistleblower reports. Also, John Kelly said that Trump was stopped from a preemptive nuclear strike in his first term so that's also scary. www.alternet.org/iran-holy-war/

They are each uniquely evil in their own ways.

SM. He already thinks he's the ayatollah of everything.

Lame duck?!?! If a war persists, then this is a president who is already made a hugely consequential decision that nobody wants. I don't know if that qualifies as a lame duck so much as an arsonist who is willing to light the house on fire with or without support.

Why did they fire Maurene Comey who handled the Maxwell prosecution and was she at the time handling cases relating to anything involving E or his associates? Was there a handoff of her cases to other DOJ attorneys?

It would be really nice if CL and SM went down with her.

I wish she'd take SM down with her.

When national news agencies reported that Jared Kushner would play a highly influencial role in the decision whether to go to war w/ Iran, they failed to drill down on the fact that the Senate has been trying to obtain a whistleblower's report that JK poses a grave national security risk.

If only it were limited to macho man videos instead of defenestrating modern medicine, including vaccines and lifesaving cancer treatments.

All of that is true and it makes the fact that the case is even being considered even more striking and perhaps alarming.

Catch and kill was the policy before he took office. DOJ's obstruction now is a continuation of everything that came before.

Boebert should be asked whether she got paid for the photo.

A potentially impeachable move by JDV. In case anyone is keeping track.

So reassuring to know that Kushner is guiding the decision on whether T will strike Iran. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Meanwhile, drug enforcement and other branches of law enforcement have been diverted to ICE. www.cato.org/blog/ice-has...

Congress should have inquired into the pattern of false charges under 18 U.S.C. 111 long ago. Bovino told agents to freely arrest people, stating that the orders went all the way to the top. Who (SM?) gave these orders? @vanhollen.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/u...

Beautiful to see how proud her father is of her.

It is ridiculous. Congress needs to do its job. Also, consider calling your state rep's. They may be willing to do more than the federal counterparts. So, if you have any legislative ideas that states can run with, consider reaching out to local legislators too.

This is all insightful & true, and also T is casting the U.S. as a global bully and threat. He threatened to invade Greenland; Canada and Mexico; Venezuela; and Iran. Our allies restricted or stopped sharing intel w/ us b/c, in some instances, they saw the intel being passed to enemies.

@robertgarcia.bsky.social @blumenthal.senate.gov Your hearings re: the use of excessive force on U.S. citizens by ICE were informative and useful. Hold hearings on the mistreatment of children in detention at Dilley and other facilities. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social

If these ChatBots were humans, they could be potentially criminally liable in some cases for aiding and abetting or solitication of crimes. It is wrong that companies are making money by promoting and normalizing the malignancy of abusers. @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov @newyorkstateag.bsky.social

Misogynist take much, NYT? MIT named a comet after AOC because of her excellence in a high school science competition. I'd rather read reporting on the substance of her remarks. EM (who is a terrible public speaker) did a "heil Hitler" fist pump and you were less critical of him.

Exactly. The Senate is on recess instead of getting back into session to deal with the reports that the WH is on the precipice of starting a war with Iran.

Zuckerberg/Khanna.

My grandfather who served in WWII, survived the 1906 earthquake and the Great Depression, and worked his way through medical school came from Romanian ancestry. Imagine what he'd think of being told that he served a country that is only for who EM (who never served in a day in his life) says it is

Since ICE and BP agents lie, and body cams and codes of conduct are already required and treated as optional, this kind of call to action has no teeth, unless you manage to impose personal financial or crim liability (despite immty) or some other high-value deterrent/enforcement mechanism.

He needs to go say that before Congress under oath. @robertgarcia.bsky.social @blumenthal.senate.gov

@robertgarcia.bsky.social @blumenthal.senate.gov Hold a hearing, much like the one that you did concerning excessive force on U.S. citizens by ICE. Center it on ProPublica's recent story about children in detention and get witnesses to testify. Here's one potential really good witness.
