Damn proud of Minnesota.

This looks like another execution.

NEWS: A day after the Minneapolis shooting, Secretary Noem quietly signed a new policy barring congressional visits to ICE facilities without a week's advance notice. That policy change led to three MN Dems being blocked from accessing an ICE facility today. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Sounded kinda like he threatened to shoot her in the face

JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents. @zeteo.com

Pete Hegseth says Trump has asked him to add 500 more National Guard troops to Washington D.C. It's unclear why he seems to be smirking throughout much of this. x.com/dowresponse/...

People scratching their heads about Thiel and Greenland but that is because stuck in an old model of international politics. This is neoroyalism rather than westphalia. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

So much more to say about this bonkers hearing in the Comey case. We’ll discuss on @lawfaremedia.org live later today (details to come).

HUGE development IN hearing for Comey selective prosecution motion, It turns out that the grand jury NEVER saw the operative indictment. Whole separate basis for dismissal. Standby for more.

What Happens When The Government Loses Its Credibility: The Comey Prosecution open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

BREAKING: Prosecutors in the Comey case just told the judge that they’re under orders from the Deputy Attorney Generals’s office not to disclose whether career prosecutors wrote a memo recommending *against* indicting Comey prior to Halligan going to the grand jury.

So how long does Trump have to fuck things up before it becomes his fault?

I don't know why we still call them ICE and treat them as a legitimate organization. They are an armed Militia and should be designated as a terrorist group. No other legal force in America wears masks and strips people of due process. They are a terrorist organization

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

Going live in 15 minutes. See you there! www.youtube.com/live/hEi77Ib...

BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Senator Whitehouse asked the BOP for Ghislaine Maxwells sex offender waiver, custody level, transfer code, and security point score. I have them. She's also been granted the ability to leave the facility for work assignments. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

All Democrats have to do to win is literally nothing. Yet Chuck Schumer is actively trying to lose. I can’t with this guy. I can’t believe I ever voted for him.

Chuck Schumer and friends. #DoNotCave Red alert. Call these Senators.

Chump's Military Dictatorship or Martial Law, That's What We'll Be Up Against, If He Gets His Way.....

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."

Remember this post? The Wall Street Journal just confirmed it was meant to be a DM to Pam Bondi. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Stephen Miller tells law enforcement in MEMPHIS: “You are unleashed”

this bitch

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

Nazi shit

Trump and his allies are plotting to subvert elections — from “emergency powers” to nationwide gerrymanders. Media silence is deafening. We’re covering it. Here’s what you missed, and exactly what you need to know.

I don't know why I'm even going to bother, but no it wasn't. It was hardly even brought up in the Federalist papers. The people who created the United States were almost pathologically fixated on the Roman Republic and Enlightenment-era Liberalism.

“Tell me this is not what authoritarianism looks and sounds like,” our columnist Ezra Klein writes. “And so the question is: What are Democrats going to do about it? What can they do about it?”

“Jeffries and Schumer, get your shit together. Tell us what your demands are.” As another government funding deadline approaches, we’re starting to get déjà vu about Democrats caving to Trump. Urge Democrats to reject any Republican budget that fuels Trump’s chaos: indivisible.org/campaign/car...

Question: Why are many people under the impression that Trump and the awful things he’s doing are popular, even though they’re not? Answer: America is still a mostly free country where dissent against Trump’s dictatorial ambitions is widespread, but media keeps making it appear as if it’s not.

SCOOP — Members of DC National Guard are preparing to carry M17 pistols, multiple sources confirm to me. This follows earlier reports that the guard reversed course and would soon be arming members in DC. Now we know they’re making sure they meet requirements if/when the order to arm them comes.

Yesterday a judge ordered ICE to improve conditions in holding cells at ICE's field office in NYC. It's a good decision, yet many of the responses here are along the lines of "none of this matters" or "they'll just ignore this." Those responses are wrong. Here's a quick thread on why.

Trump announces his takeover of the DC police department & the deployment of 800 National Guard troops. Why Trump’s lies about fake emergencies are the common denominator in his fascist schemes & how this is yet another attempt to distract from the Epstein Files. youtu.be/A0PW3Z5GdAA?...

I hate it here

Just another reason to not vote for “democratic” sexual predators.

Genuinely sad and insane that @marshablackburn, Jack Johnson & Sexton want to enshrine this into law instead of banning it. Deeply un-American.

We kept being told that journalism was a bulwark against fascism, a "fourth estate". This is the liberal frame for perceiving the industry's worth. But the reality is the polar opposite: fascism has been allowed to thrive, and could not have done so, without journalism.
