opening thoughts: 
No Adult in the Room by Lyn Ekedahl
In the room where it happens there’s no stalwart adult,
Not one decent person to challenge Don’s cult.
We knew that King Donald was wearing no clothes.
That his minions are naked now everyone knows.

While he once seemed a lightweight, the Don’s little Marco
Has created the fiction of “terrorist narcos.”
He loves bombing the boats and the poor fellows who
May be carrying hashish, perhaps some fish too.

And for evil personified, take a look at Steve Miller,
Who loves to be labeled a monster, a killer.
He’s all about power and terror and might.
He wants everyone to regard him with fright!

There’s Hegseth, pathetic, and sick Kristi Noem,
Deserving of labels too obscene for this poem.
To cover ICE murder, they distort and they lie.
They’ll continue to gaslight as more people die.

Don has so many targets, it’s hard to keep track.
He’s always in search of more prey to attack. 
Yesterday was Maduro; could be Cuba tomorrow.
Wherever he looks, he’s bound to spawn sorrow. 

He’d love to seize Canada, Greenland, and more.
Keeping track of his conquests will soon be a bore.
There’s no one to block him-stop him dead in his tracks.
Just the Donald himself—with the morals he lacks!
part one: Jasper Craven is a freelance reporter covering the military and veterans’ issues. His work has appeared in The New York Times, Harper’s, Politico, and The Baffler, among others. He's the author of the forthcoming book God Forgives, Brothers Don't, about the military and masculinity. 
A Billionaire Tries Again to Hijack Veterans’ Care
Hedge fund giant Steven Cohen’s first effort to accelerate mental health care privatization failed. His second attempt has begun.  https://prospect.org/2026/01/12/billionaire-tries-again-to-hijack-veterans-care/
opening thoughts from Harold Meyerson:  There are at least two things that can stop a government police force that’s violently out of control. One occurs when it performs its brutality out in the open, where it can be recorded. The second comes when it attacks people with whom the public can empathize.
In Minneapolis last week, ICE did both.
Part two: Aaron Rosenthal is the research director for North Star Policy Action and the author of The State You See: How Government Visibility Creates Political Distrust and Racial Inequality. Prior to North Star, Aaron worked as the Senior Research Specialist with the Council on Criminal Justice and was an assistant professor at Simmons College in Boston. He received his PhD in political science from the University of Minnesota in 2018, with a focus on public policy and American politics. 
Reining In Trump’s Goons With the apparent murder of Renee Good, our thugocracy has outed itself for all to see. We cannot let them escape the consequences.   https://prospect.org/2026/01/12/reining-in-trumps-goons-immigration-ice-minneapolis/
Illinois, Minnesota Sue Over Trump Immigration Agents Who ‘Have Acted as Occupiers’ “The unlawful deployment of thousands of armed, masked, and poorly trained federal agents is hurting Minnesota,” said that state’s attorney general.   https://www.commondreams.org/news/suing-dhs
We’re All “Domestic Terrorists” Now The killing of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, and Donald Trump’s and Kristi Noem’s despicable lies about it, show that we’re all living at the whim of the administration’s masked, trigger-happy goons. https://newrepublic.com/article/205061/renee-good-kristi-noem-domestic-terrorists-minneapolis
