Trump's physical 'decline' said to be made clear in Davos: 'Like Frankenstein's monster'
President Donald Trump made waves this week with his address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he floated and later walked back threats to take over Greenland, but some eagle-eyed observers were instead fixated on the 79-year-old president’s physical appearance, which journali...

ICE is leaning on fans of NASCAR, UFC, and patriotic podcasts to grow their agency in what they call their “wartime recruitment” strategy. @drewharwell.com says the meme-fied and macho tenor of ICE’s online advertisements tell us a lot about who the agency is looking for.

No matter how tough Minnesotans are, this weather should be taken seriously.

Responsibility
One word we must live by
Our country needs us
This is not Republican vs Democrat
This is America vs Fascism
Voting is our first line of defense
The second line will be bloody
This is not platitudinal
This is as real as it gets
Vote or we will die

Why is Donald Trump obsessed with Minnesota?

Vox’s Astead Herndon returns to Minneapolis following the killing of Renee Nicole Good to speak with locals — and the state’s attorney general — to explain how ICE's presence in the state ramped up to this moment.

Many people said we were exaggerating and called us liars. As we warned (and as many expected) the DOJ has now acknowledged misconduct by the Trump administration and DOGE employees.

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

This is important to us because what’s happening right now in Congress could permanently change protections for a beloved wilderness area. With everything else going on, this quietly moved forward while most people weren’t paying attention and it should concern all of us.
