“Imagine waking up to the sound of your front door being rammed in at six o’clock in the morning — armed agents in tactical gear pouring into your living room, rifles raised, shouting commands, kids screaming. And when you ask for a warrant signed by a judge, they wave a piece of paper their own agency printed and tell you that’s good enough. This is not a hypothetical scenario.” (01/26/26)

“Small creators don’t outperform big accounts because they’re better marketers. They outperform them because they’re better embedded in the lives of the people they serve. Their audiences aren’t scrolling past them. They’re listening, asking questions, and coming back. That dynamic is incredibly familiar if you’ve ever taught anything. Educators, coaches, and practitioners have always operated this way.” (01/26/26)

“The US Border Patrol’s chief Greg Bovino and some agents have been ordered out of Minneapolis in a stunning turnaround after a second US citizen was [murdered] by federal agents in the city this month, according to reports.

“It’s increasingly difficult to imagine anything the Trump administration can do that conservatives and Republicans will not make excuses for. There is apparently no federal power and no act by the US’s standing army of federal cops that Trump supporters won’t endorse. The latest example is Republicans new assault on the Second Amendment and against private citizens carrying firearms. GOP mouthpieces are informing us that Americans are not allowed to be armed with a gun at a protest.” (01/26/26)

“Bitcoin slipped to about $88,400 in early-week trading, extending a roughly 4% decline over the past week as major cryptocurrencies softened. The token’s underperformance versus rising equities and surging gold underscores that crypto is trading more like a high-beta risk asset than a safe-haven hedge. Traders are cautious and volumes muted ahead of Wednesday’s Federal Reserve decision and a wave of Big Tech earnings, events seen as key catalysts for bitcoin’s next move.” (01/27/26)

“The drumbeat of statements from the administration that are openly hostile to basic First Amendment rights should disturb every American. And when Americans see someone shot dead in the street shortly after recording federal agents — and then hear top government officials immediately justify the shooting before any investigation can begin — they will reasonably fear that exercising these rights carries not just legal risk but physical danger.” (01/26/26)

“Judges at the International Criminal Court ruled on Monday that former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is fit to stand trial, after postponing an earlier hearing over concerns about the octogenarian’s health. Duterte is facing charges of crimes against humanity for his alleged involvement in dozens of killings as part of his so-called war on drugs when in office, first as the mayor of a southern city and later as president. Lawyers for the 80-year old had argued Duterte was in frail health and his condition was deteriorating in the court’s detention unit.” (01/26/26)
