Thinking about the small businesses that didn’t survive Trump’s illegal tariffs.

Jessica Tarlov broke down how Trump's tariff policies cost the average American family $1000, 90% of the cost of tariffs were paid by American consumers, and the latest GDP rating was well below expectations.

It will take women to save this country. It must be taken away from these men. They have lost their soul and must loose their right to further govern.

Fuentes: β€œSo just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women. … So they go to the gulag first. They go to the breeding gulags.”

WATCH: Millions inspired by monks' 'Walk for Peace' β€œWe walk not to bring any attention to us, but we just hope that we raise awareness of peace to all the people who will meet along the road.”

Why isn’t every politician, leader, prosecutor, and news channels focused on this. The President is accused with significant proof of killing and raping minors.

THREAD.

My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.

I've collected his work here...

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.

Phil Lewis tweets "STATEMENT FROM ABBE LOWELL, ATTORNEY FOR DON LEMON"

The Trump administration has crossed another dangerous red line, wildly violating the First Amendment, among other things. So basically, they can arrest any American exercising their right to free speech? This is fascist shit. bluevirginia.us/2026/01/frid... h/t @phillewis.bsky.social

Not really surprising. It will take the US decades to recover from this brain drain.
