🚨NEW: Stephen Colbert's opening tonight will forever be remembered as one of the most powerful moments of late-night comedy in modern history. This is a must-watch. Damn. 🔥

🚨🇺🇸 DAVID HUERTA, PRESIDENT OF SEIU CALIFORNIA, INJURED AND DETAINED IN LOS ANGELES ICE RAID David Huerta, who leads SEIU California (the state’s largest union representing over 750,000 workers including healthcare professionals and janitors), was injured and detained while observing an ICE raid in Los Angeles. SEIU California Executive Director Tia Orr demanded his immediate release and medical care, calling Huerta’s actions consistent with his record of fighting for immigrant workers’ rights. The union condemned the raids as harmful and divisive, and urged an end to the crackdown on immigrant workers who power the economy. Source: SEIU California
🚨🇺🇸 CLASHES ERUPT IN DOWNTOWN L.A. AS ICE AGENTS SWEEP THROUGH STREETS Federal agents launched ICE raids in multiple downtown Los Angeles locations, clashing with protesters. Groups of demonstrators trailed unmarked SUVs, their chants echoing as agents forced them out of the way. The scene unfolded around an apparel store and other sites, while police stood back. The atmosphere was thick with confrontation, no official details offered, leaving the city to watch and wonder what comes next. Source: Los Angeles Daily News, @AZ_Intel_

ICE raids hit across Los Angeles today—and locals are rising up. This is what resistance looks like. ✊🏽 This was about an hour ago…

BREAKING: CNN just exposed Donald Trump for agreeing to a deal with Canada that had already been negotiated by President Biden. Donald Trump, for all his bluster, received nothing in return. This is yet another example of Trump’s incompetence.

I submitted my resignation last week…my 2 year term was already up 🤷‍♂️😅 I was honored to serve as co-chair of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. My fellow council members - unpaid volunteers like me - were hardworking, talented people who inspired me every day. I’m proud of what we accomplished on behalf of the American people…like a historic partnership between the White House and every major sports league to increase access to sports and health programs for kids. I hope @realdonaldtrump exercises his presidential authority so the Council can continue to advocate for fitness and good health for all Americans. These are bipartisan issues…nonpartisan issues. May God give you the wisdom, Mr. President, to put politics and name calling aside…and instead lift up the everyday people working to bring America together. Let’s build longer tables….
Our first day in the White House is not over yet! My Presidential Personnel Office is actively in the process of identifying and removing over a thousand Presidential Appointees from the previous Administration, who are not aligned with our vision to Make America Great Again. Let this serve as Official Notice of Dismissal for these 4 individuals, with many more, coming soon: Jose Andres from the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition, Mark Milley from the National Infrastructure Advisory Council, Brian Hook from the Wilson Center for Scholars, and Keisha Lance Bottoms from the President’s Export Council—YOU’RE FIRED!

Hispanic advocacy groups and others expressed confusion at the abrupt change and frustration at what some called the administration’s lack of efforts to maintain communication with the Latino community, which helped propel him to the presidency. to.pbs.org/4awzFTg

1. Want some fun news before the Monday inauguration that you won't have heard anywhere else? The antitrust enforcers (Lina Khan et al) went full Tony Montana on big business this week before Trump people took over. Here's just part of what they did.

Should @AOTUS11_Shogan publish it in the Federal Register? Sure. Yes, absolutely. Does her inaction make it not-part of the Constitution? No, absolutely not. The Constitution gives no such power to a random, unelected librarian. Not even close.

The #EatonFire is growing at an extreme rate with winds gusting between 65-85 mph making it impossible for the fire to be stopped. If you are in the path of this wildfire in the Eaton Park area evacuate!

Packed and ready to go. What a horrendous night. Shaking and sick to my stomach.
Pasadena and Altaneda be prepared to evacuate if you are asked to tonight. The #CloseFire is explosively growing and exhibiting long-range spotting into the Eaton Canyon Golf Course area well ahead of the main fire.

On the FIRST day of the new GOP-controlled Congress, a 78-year-old chose their Speaker, an 81-year-old GOP rep. fell down the stairs and a 91-year-old GOP sen. is now 3rd in line to the presidency. This after an election where 'age' was a 'top concern' for voters🙄.

Now: Anti-Trump protesters gather at the Lincoln Memorial to demand Congress block Trump’s January 6, 2025 certification for being an “Insurrectionist” over his actions on January 6, 2021.

The Republican-led Congress can’t honor the Capitol Police Officers who defended them because they serve the traitorous monster who incited the attack on them.
The 118th Congress closed yesterday. Without hanging the plaque to honor Jan 6 police officers and heroes that was required under federal law signed in March 2023

Elon Musk finished paying into Social Security 15 minutes into 2025. The CEO of Palantir finished in about 19 minutes. The CEOs of Broadcom and Coinbase were done by 12:30 a.m. 225 other millionaires finished within the first few hours. Scrap the cap.
