This new whistleblower report is on par with the Zelensky call - not just because it’s violative of law - but because they also tried to keep people from seeing it. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is absolutely explosive news. Impeachable and criminal. Swift accountability must follow.

ICE is out of control.
Local law enforcement is now holding press conferences, issuing statements, and doing interviews because ICE is taking illegal actions against them too.
If ICE doesn’t want their officers to be put at more risk, they need to follow the law.

Just watched the Trump speech in Davos. Sort of wish I had not. Embarrassing, full of lies and conceit. PM Carney is right. This eruption of the old order can not be undone. It can not survive under this menace.

Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

NEW: Statement of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Trump’s criminal investigation into him. He says they are seeking an indictment over his Congressional testimony, but calls it pretext to pressure him into lowering interest rates.

Reporter: Is there any evidence?
Trump: I mean, you're saying maybe the attack didn't take place? It's possible, I guess, but President Putin told me this morning it did.

It's not hyperbole to say that the United States doing this to its own citizens is Nazi-like.
"They disappeared her." This story from @timdickinson.bsky.social is so upsetting. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Donald Trump's Customs and Border Protection (CBP) disappeared an immigrant mom living in Portland and her four U.S. citizen children.
