In Phoenix, Arizona, temperatures could reach an unbelievable 107°F (+42°C) on Friday. If that verifies, it would break the record for the earliest occurrence of 107°F since records began in 1895, pulverising the previous record by a whopping 44 days.
This is totally bonkers.

Again, the public interest is reporting the truth not repeating government propaganda.

Firing a reporter via email while she’s in a war zone risking her life for her readers is a despicable, disgraceful act.

Informative thread by @RonanFarrow on the @DonLemon arrest. While it appears to me to be a clear-cut outrage, Farrow correctly points out that the crackdown on press freedom began not under Trump but under Obama.

(1/13 🧵) Here's my further analysis of the recent journalist arrests, for those not inclined to hunt down my posts elsewhere. While this is a political flash point, I do not believe it is a partisan issue. It is part of a pattern perpetrated by, and that hurts, both parties:

A retiree wrote this email to a DHS attorney. Within five hours, DHS demanded Google turn over records for his account.
A Kafkaesque form of domestic surveillance, intimidating Americans for lawful speech.

This is quite an exchange with @DavidAFrench about whether we are witnessing the emergence of a "dual state."

Deeply disappointed but not surprised. The only surprise to me, having run the paper that covered @JeffBezos for years in Seattle, is that it took this long for him to show his true colors.

What a cruel, unnecessary and bone-crushingly stupid legacy for Jeff Bezos to leave in this world. I was a Post subscriber before I worked there a decade ago and have been one since. It's indispensable. The NYT can't replace it and we don't want to. I hope Bezos reconsiders.

Do not let anyone tell you that you shouldn't record law enforcement (so long as you're not physically impeding them). Citizen video has decisively rebutted the administration's lies. The evidence of our eyes contradicts the dishonesty of the administration's words.

The FBI agent who tried to investigate the ICE officer who shot Renee Good to death has resigned after the bureau leadership in Washington pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the killing. @alanfeuer @GlennThrush nytimes.com/2026/01/23/us/…

Videos analyzed by @nytimes appear to contradict DHS accounts that the man approached agents with a handgun and the intent to “massacre” them. Footage shows the man holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when agents take him to the ground. nytimes.com/live/2026/us/m…

Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy." nytimes.com/2026/01/12/us/…

WSJ identified 13 instances of agents firing at or into civilian vehicles since July, leaving 8 people shot with two confirmed dead. Only one civilian was armed—with a concealed weapon that was never drawn—and at least 5 of those shot were U.S. citizens. wsj.com/us-news/videos…

Asked if there any limits on his global powers, Trump tells @nytimes "Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.” He adds, “I don’t need international law.” @SangerNYT @tylerpager @katierogers @KannoYoungs nytimes.com/2026/01/08/us/…

There are NO limits to the garbage and lies Trump will spread. None. And most Americans just shrug.

Donald Trump is now reposting videos on Truth Social suggesting that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had Melissa Hortman assassinated. This is objectively evil, and calling it out should not be political.

The Trump regime wants to dismantle a world leading climate research center. Why? Because the US has become a petrostate where the government has been captured by fossil fuel interests. They’re calling climate science “green new scam research”, in full on denial of reality. 🤯

This summer, @annabarryjester and I went to South Sudan, the poorest country in the world, where the U.S. had been supporting the response to a historic cholera outbreak before pulling the plug.
There, we found the closed clinics and dead bodies that prove Rubio wrong.

We doubt many Americans will pay attention to the Trump administration's latest self-serving stunt of "appointing itself the arbiter of media bias," @SethAStern told @ScottNover.
"The gimmick is wearing thin."
