"Take a moment to look at the inhumanity captured in this extraordinary photo running on the front page of tonight's Minneapolis @StarTribune. It shows federal immigration agents immobilizing a protester on the ground and spraying chemical irritant directly into his face. The scene reminds me of the brutality used against civil rights protesters in the 1960s. We look back at those old photos and wonder how the authorities could have behaved so savagely; many years from now young Americans will look at these photos from [----] and wonder how anyone could have justified shooting a woman in the"

"President Trump said ICE would go after the "worst of the worst." Apparently unable to find them it is instead rounding up refugees with legal status flying them in shackles to Texas and in some cases then releasing them and making them pay their own way back. Those seized include Christians fleeing persecution abroad which seems a little off-brand for Trump. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/us/politics/ice-minnesota-refugees.html https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/us/politics/ice-minnesota-refugees.html"

"So the "Justice" Department has finally shown resolve--not to investigate the killers of Renee Good and Alex Pretti but to prosecute Don Lemon for committing journalism.

"Exactly right. We are poised to leave the age of arms control and enter an expensive and dangerous three-way nuclear arms race together with Russia and China. President Trump should immediately propose a 1-year extension of New START. If Congress doesnt act the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire.
