First Draft: 📺 Trump’s White House Agrees His ‘Midterm Ads’ Are Illegal. They’re Doing It Anyway
Donald Trump is demanding the propagandistic TV ads, even as some of his aides fret they ‘obviously’ break federal law. Missouri MAGA Senator Eric Schmitt, meanwhile, makes a fool of himself.

Ossoff: "You played earlier the tape of Mike Collins, a sitting member of Congress and the Republican candidate for senate in Georgia, supporting the deployment of federal troops to polling places in Georgia this fall. Folks, this is a 5 alarm fire."

"By looking the other way for decades, the banks allowed Epstein to have ready and reliable access to cash necessary to recruit, harbor and transport young women and underage girls for the purpose of human trafficking and sexual abuse,” Wyden writes.

Fun fact — and reminder: For all their focus on “officer safety” and arguments about aggressive tactics being necessary, no ICE officer has ever been killed in the line of duty. It is more deadly in the US to be an elementary school student than an ICE officer.

Clearly, there is no “peace deal.” One side says “no money exchanged.” The other side says “$325 billion.” This isn’t a negotiating gap; it’s a different universe.

Amazing how the people screaming “THEY’RE HIDING SOMETHING” were the ones who sold the lie in the first place. These right-wing influencers hyped a conspiracy theory that the Epstein files were going to implicate a Democratic cabal, only to see that narrative unravel right in front of them.

Just left an ICE Protest in Portland OR that started at City Hall and marched to the ICE building. Main demand was "revoke" the lease that lets the agency use their building. Crowd was 500-1000. They gassed massively after about an hour. Had to pull a lot of 16-17 year old girls out of the gas.

🧵"Ochoa is a Border Patrol agent who joined CBP in 2018. Gutierrez joined in 2014 and works for CBP’s Office of Field Operations." Stopping ICE alone will not stop the madness. CBP will fill the void-and they are only supposed to operate 100mi from the border.

United States Completes WHO Withdrawal        
          WASHINGTON —  January 22, 2026 — The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of State today announced the United States’ completion of its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) due to the organization's mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic that arose out of Wuhan, China, its failure to adopt urgently needed reforms, and its inability to demonstrate independence from the inappropriate political influence of WHO member states.
