Signal @TheMadCentrist01 for whistleblowers
Pinned
It cannot be more clear.
It cannot be loud enough.
It cannot come fast enough.

We cannot wait for 100 MORE reasons.
We must protect our nation and democracy.

#Congress must act now.

This here seems important.

Media?
Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

The current political situation in America screams and begs for the end to political parties.

Republicans back a madman.

Democrats write strongly worded memos.

$$$ flows to both parties.

We the People get screwed.

Vote anything but (R) or (D).

Me too.

Though I never believed it.
I remember whenwe used to be regularly assured the pivot to presidentiality was imminent.

I say we all agree, Trump won in 2020, and we give hime the imaginary 2021-2025 presidency award.

Then we explain that means he is not the President now.

Works for me. He can keep the 2021-2025 presidency award next to someone else's nobel prize in his old folks home in Mar-a-Lago.

About how I feel, every damn day recently.
Today is the most humiliating day in the history of the United States of America.

At least until tomorrow.

Wow, approval of 35%. The only president in modern history with a lower approval rating was...

Trump, in his 1st term.

Give it a couple of days, it will get there.

Personally, I cannot undersrand why it is that high. It should be in the single digits.
January 21, 2026 at 7:58 PM
If Trump gets picked up in a foreign immigration crackdown, put in a concentration camp a thousand miles in some direction away from his current location, awaiting deportation to a random country...

Thanks.

This could become a devastating bit of kindling, or just a small puff of smoke.

It could start the fire that burns down the house.

Heroes act that way. Doing the right thing, especially when it is scary.
Sometimes when I scan the AP News and Reuters headlines in the morning, I wonder if the editors who wrote them really think the regime won't kill them too

Republicans in Congress could stop this at any moment.

Why do we poll for how we feel politicians handle "crime" instead of "justice"?

For example, Trump is doing AWESOME with crime. He put over a 1,000 criminals on the street on day 1. He commits crimes daily. He is a convicted felon. He also sells pardons.

He's not doing anything on justice though.

The BEST advice I could give the Republicans on the mid-term elections is:

As fast as possible. Davos is a GREAT time for this BTW.

Give JD a chance to govern for 10 months. Without needing to please Daddy Trump, he might become somewhat normal.

It is your only hope.

On. The. Nose.
She was absolutely right. And she would have been an amazing President.

Oddly, I was just thinking about this.

There are reparations, rebuilding departments and outreach efforts (US AID) and so much more.

This is another good one for today.
Congress?

Find your spine. And soul. And patriotism.

Hint: It is where you put your bravery.
Trump's post is a federal crime. 26 USC § 7217.

Seems more important today than ever.
To the Republicans in Congress, who seem to have forgotten the principle of "co-equal branches of government," in addition to the fact that the Constitution starts with CONGRESS first, on purpose, to make sure the representatives of the people are the foremost defined branch:
I found your spine.
