REPUBLICAN REP. MASSIE: “The only people benefitting from any of this are Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, people making those drones…”💰
The war industry bomb makers are raking in our taxpayer dollars as people die.

Trump really said it was a"stupid question" to ask about Russia helping Iran target and potentially kill Americans
Doocy: "It sounds like the Russians are helping Iran target and attack Americans."
Trump:"What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else"
Rep Jason Crow on Trump sending troops to Iran: When rulers like Donald Trump beat their war drums and pound their chests in Washington DC
and talk about sending troops on the ground or into combat, he's not talking about his kids"
I think @hcrichardson.bsky.social has similar numbers (with less overhead and immeasurably more principle).
The senior Republican in Congress is all in for Trump shutting down all Medicare payments to Minnesota. Hope his electorate remembers that this November.
To mark 4 years of Ukraine’s resistance to russia’s full-scale invasion, iconic landmarks across the world once again shone in blue and yellow🇺🇦
Thank you for these beautiful gestures of solidarity and support💙💛
It's why there is a growing "F*ck Trump" sentiment out there in the country. He isn't governing for us, or with us, but *against* us. And people are unhappy.
It's why the real State of the Union is that we've all had enough of his bullshit and want something better 8/👇

Democrats can now credibly call for the repeal of the Trump tax cuts and the clawing back of the additional ICE funding as a way of offsetting the revenue loss from the ending of the illegal tariffs.
NEW: Natasha Korecki at NBC reports that in light of the SCOTUS tariff ruling, Gov. Pritzker sent President Donald Trump an invoice of $8.6 billion.
I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Turn Up the Heat: Melt The Companies That Profit From ICE and DHS. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/turn...

The crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!” In near-whiteout conditions in Chicago at an anti-ICE rally tonight. (1/30/26)

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."
ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."
in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today
Turns out that incorrectly telling the American people that masked goons have absolute immunity to do whatever they want to them is not a particularly popular position.
Deporting children with cancer.
Using a 5-year-old as bait.
Shooting moms.
ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.
Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.
National media: Please stop describing what’s happening in Minneapolis as “protests.” There has been a modest, sustained protest outside the Whipple federal building, about 10 miles from downtown, but... 1/3
"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.
This is a poem by Amanda Gorman "For Renee Nicole Good Killed by I.C.E. on January 7, 2026." Please display as our dictator and his administration try to destroy her legacy by accusing her of domestic terrorism.

NEWS: A day after the Minneapolis shooting, Secretary Noem quietly signed a new policy barring congressional visits to ICE facilities without a week's advance notice. That policy change led to three MN Dems being blocked from accessing an ICE facility today. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...
This is the funniest and most embarrassing possible outcome for Bari. People are going to get to see a totally normal news piece that clearly isn't biased against Trump and think, "She was afraid that THIS would upset the administration??"
Mark Cuban: What if Medicare For All isn’t perfect?
Everyone: Wait until you hear about the healthcare we have now
