Trump/Musk is flooding the zone, here is how you keep up: Trump taking cash bribes from oligarchs in exchange for power, Oligarchs steal from US gutting safety & opportunity for working families, Trump/Oligarchs doing horrible things to innocent people to distract US from their crimes against US.

While polls could soften as the heat of the moment wears down, this type of polling is critical to circulate because our Media & Political Elite still seem to think Trump is popular & his policies are popular, but both Trump & his polices are crazy unpopular, he does not speak for US.

Amazingly, every "hard-truth" NYT has thrown at their readers for their 175 years of existence just happens to be exactly what right-of-center wealthy & powerful elites want US to hear.

While I am sure kidnapping Hispanic US citizens, roughing them up and dropping them off in the middle nowhere is crushing it in X where Media & Political Elite get their pulse on "Real Americans", this psychotic behavior is not just vile but will be very unpopular with most of US.

ICE is a domestic terror organization insofar as it appears their core goal is to terrorize US.

We need less research framing the problem facing our country as "polarization" and more research framing the problem as "anti-democratic radicalization".

Trump Family has committed a lot of obvious public crimes in amassing >$10 billion in assets during his first year in office. If (big IF) Republican Elite in courts or congress chose to restore rule-of-law & democracy (of course, for their own selfish reasons), it would be simple to take Trump down.

Starting to worry if John Roberts (and his Supreme Court) providing immunity for all crimes past or future to a corrupt, incompetent, mentally unstable (and declining), wannabe authoritarian may have been a bad idea for US?

"... and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." If Trump's paramilitary is exempt from the 4th Amendment, then the 4th Amendment is functionally nullified for all of US.

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

I genuinely wonder whether Kamala Harris would be President today if Joe Biden had made NYT feel special.

This may be about the 10th story on this interview, probably the 4th or 5th that's largely about "NYT LOOK AT US!!!!"

www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

Two Hours, Scores of Questions, 23,000 Words: Our Interview With President Trump
Four New York Times reporters pressed Mr. Trump about a range of topics in a nearly two-hour interview. Here is a transcript of their conversation.

Absolutely related that Trump’s paramilitary is shooting peaceful women in the face, while Musk’s platform is now all about creating misogynistic deepfake porn.

NYT knows the investigation is just Trump using DOJ to intimidate Federal Reserve but they refuse to print the truth.

Every member of ICE has to know that (1) they are hated by The People (2) no matter how violent they get, they are mocked & derided, rather that feared & respected. They are not living up to their idols in SS & Gestapo.

If they were serious, Corporate Media should normalize discussion about the 25th Amendment (if not impeachment), not because the lackeys in cabinet (or Congress) are going to do, but because The People have to understand how serious the crisis is to apply necessary pressure on our pathetic Elite.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

Shooting innocent women in the face because they peacefully oppose the heavily-armed masked federally-funded paramilitary terrorizing Democratic cities IS POLITICAL VIOLENCE

Scott Horton @robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 3d

This administration incited political violence that led to the storming of the US Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, and then issued 6,000 pardons to people who assaulted and brutalized police officers.

Extraordinary to see Fed Chair Powell and Minneapolis Mayor Frey bluntly state Trump is degenerate liar trying to do bad things to US. No pretense or assumption of Trump’s plausible good intentions as Media & Political Elite always give him. This blunt truth is exactly what The People need to hear.

(2) Shame on Media & Political Elite that have validated & normalized Trump’s repeated use of DOJ against so James, Schiff, Comey, etc
