Trump falsely claims Minneapolis woman "viciously ran over the officer" and it's "hard to believe he is alive" It's so infuriating that this completely obvious lie will be believed by 40% of the population with no second thoughts about it.

“I think what we’re seeing is the crystallization of the U.S. approach to multilateralism, which is ‘my way or the highway,’” said Daniel Forti, head of U.N. affairs at the International Crisis Group. https://apnews.com/article/united-nations-trump-international-organizations-withdrawal-d704fb9b444dc9cf569865d391b544a6

Walz: "It's beyond me that apparently from the federal government, the Homeland Security director herself, has already determined who this person was, what their motive was, and they hadn't even been taken out of the vehicle. We're not living in a normal world."

This is what The Guardian's reporting has to say:"Eyewitness videos seem to refute DHS’s argument. The maroon SUV is shown backing away from ICE officers as they approach the car, and attempt to open the driver’s door. One ICE officer that can be seen partially in front of the car as the driver moves forward and then away from the officers. That same ICE officer is seen firing his gun as the car appears to drive by him."
My question is "appears"? Watch the video.

TRIGGER WARNING!!! ICE MURDERS A WOMAN IN THIS VIDEO.
if you don't believe this was murder in Minneapolis, an execution by an out of control ICE agent, see for yourself.Very clear his life was NEVER in danger and he acts like it was NOTHING afterward.IT'S OPEN KILLING SEASON ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BY LAWLESS ALLEGED LAW ENFORCEMENT

This is just the beginning. The MAGA Reich is trying to pack as many lawless actions as it can into a single week. I expect it will only escalate from here, most likely culminating in the cancellation of the midterm elections..
All the video thus far shows ICE is lying, as is their SOP.
This was a murder. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/jan/07/donald-trump-venezuela-greenland-oil-childcare-us-politics-live

When you’re young and invincible, you think you’ll always matter. That the world will always need what you know. Then you hit sixty-something and realize: the world still needs what you know. It just doesn’t need it from you. It wants it from someone younger. Someone cheaper. Someone who doesn’t remind them that they’re aging too.That’s the feeling. Not that you’ve failed. That you’ve been forgotten. While you’re still here. Still breathing. Still capable. Just invisible. https://joadt.substack.com/p/the-quiet-emergency

REMINDER: The Republicans' budget bill made private jets tax-deductible. Yes, it made private jets fully tax-deductible. It's clear who Republican politicians are working for... and it ain't you.
