This should piss off ALL Americans! Worse than the red carpet itself, or trump clapping giddily for a war criminal, American soldiers should NEVER be used in this grotesque way! If this doesn't hit you like the gut punch it is, you are just as deplorable as that 🍊 POS! #DefendersOfDemocracy #SheShed

This would be a major scandal if a Democrat did this. And yet the Press is like it’s a totally normal policy change. “meh, it’s his prerogative to betray Ukraine, stab our NATO allies in the back, and become Russia’s lapdog (who is helping Iran kill American soldiers.) It’s absolutely insane.

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

They hate the Bill of Rights because freedom is a threat to people in government who want to hide the truth about what they are doing from the American people. So they behave like tyrants because that is what they are. Vote this party out of power.

Of the 27 House districts Trump's PAC is spending in, 19 are GOP districts, and 26 were carried by Trump, most by more than 5, some by as much as 10 or 15 or 17. “It’s an acknowledgment that things have shifted in a huge way since 2024,” Dave Wasserman tells me: newrepublic.com/article/2155...

This tells me they’ve already written off districts with a five point margin or less… and are now trying to protect those in the 5-15 point range… out of desperation… their internal numbers are telling them that these races are all toss ups.

NEW: DHS's Inspector General releases a scathing report about the Everglades detention camp known as "Alligator Alcatraz." The OIG finds that the now-closed camp, violated multiple ICE standards. The OIG also confirms detainees were punished with placement in a metal cage in the Florida heat.🧵
OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Staff also reported that time spent in the small metal enclosures is closely monitored, and
detainees are not locked in, even though we observed locking mechanisms on the enclosures.
Figures 11 and 12. Small Metal Enclosures; Observed January 21, 2026

Underneath is a picture of a metal cage that is 4 feet 3 inches wide by 4 feet 3 inches long, and 7 feet 9 inches high. The cage itself is placed on a tiny spot of fake turf, and then surrounded by another chainlink fence with razor wire on top. The cage is covered by a roof, but it's entirely exposed to the outside otherwise, meaning mosquitos and no air conditioning.
