1. Thomas Massey, Republican from Kentucky, just did an interview where he said, on camera, that the director of the FBI threatened to investigate one of his staffers for fraud if Massey did not stop pushing for the disclosure of the Epstein files.

NEW: ProPublica went inside the detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of what comes next.

The obsession with going back to the way things were under Biden by some members of congress is wild to me. Who wants to go back to being one election cycle away from masked death squads roaming our streets?

Watch Tim Grimm sing this incredible protest anthem to a packed bar in Texas! This could be the anthem of the resistance, one that speaks to people outside of traditionally liberal spaces. Help me make it go viral?? bit.ly/3Og7IYB

NBC edited out JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. CBS and ABC paid millions in bogus settlements to fund Trump. CNN made Scott Jennings a rightwing star. The Washington Post laid off 300 journalists. Support independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Why the Resistance Matters Anti-authoritarian “neighborism” and cross-racial solidarity from below are a massive problem for the regime, exposing Trumpism’s structural weaknesses and ideological blind spots. Some thoughts from my new piece: 🧵 steady.page/en/democracy...

Singing a resistance anthem in a packed bar in Texas!! This brought me to tears. youtu.be/Rizh2W1a4EI Dam that man! #trump #resistance

It’s something to watch Tim Grimm take the stage in front of an American flag in a packed bar in Texas- and sing this song. 💙 If you need a Dose of Hope, watch this. youtu.be/Rizh2W1a4EI?...

The March for Life bringing measles to DC feels like another thing that would be written for a satire but since satire is dead it's reality.

Lotta conservatives posing this 'info'. I can't speak to its accuracy but I've taken to asking them - why does Trump need an extra $75 billion to deport fewer people than Obama did?

If I was a Democratic politician I would consider that the thousands of brave patriots in this city are America’s most visible and hardened cohort of anti-Trump resisters, and if you tell them you’re going to stand with ICE, they will never care about anything else you ever do again

The president constantly lying about stolen elections, after staging a coup attempt, & now threatening to federalize & steal future elections, should be the primary news story in the country 24/7 & on every front page until he is impeached & removed next week.

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

I'm sorry but this is the CATO INSTITUTE saying this? Imma need to sit down for a minute.

The way things are going in America, it should be clear we don't have much time. We certainly don't have three years. We need to help ourselves by pushing for impeachment and removal as hard as we can and carrying it out as soon as humanly possible.

Lots of teargas at ICE tonight in Portland. People were just standing and chanting.

I was a White House ethics lawyer. I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules. I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

Just left an ICE Protest in Portland OR that started at City Hall and marched to the ICE building. Main demand was "revoke" the lease that lets the agency use their building. Crowd was 500-1000. They gassed massively after about an hour. Had to pull a lot of 16-17 year old girls out of the gas.

this particular line is maybe the best statement of purpose i have seen for those of us who want a more militant opposition to this administration

🦫 Good morning and Happy Groundhog Day, Citizens' Impeachment. Do you feel like we do this every day? That's because we have to. Congress needs a lot of pressure to do their jobs. 🦫 Use this web tool to create & schedule an email for 9:30 a.m. ET today: citizensimpeachment.com/impeach-bond...

So Trump is building a ballroom, new Kennedy Center, some stupid arch, a 100,000 seat stadium...etc. The list keeps growing and no one in congress is checking him. Where is the money coming from? We know HE isn't paying for it. 🤬

Vandals

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society. How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

We need five more votes to get a super majority in the House to impeach Trump. Call your reps everyday, all day, if you have to. Show up in their offices and talk to staff in person. Full court press needed now.

They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Part of the problem with Trump’s deportation goons is that they believe the lies he and his senior officials have spouted about ICE protesters. Here’s a particularly embarrassing episode featuring a suburban police chief near St. Paul. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

🚨"My mom is being arrested for documenting what happened at City Church—this is wrong. This goes against her first amendment right. She is not a protester, she is not an activist, she is a mom working to provide for her children,"-daughter of arrested journalist @bygeorgiafort.bsky.social

Every day, Trump denigrates the US to a worse banana republic: "Donald Trump sues the IRS and Treasury for at least $10bn Lawsuit stems from the disclosure of the US president’s tax documents during his first term" /1

5. Conclusion: Trump uses US courts to repress freedom & transparency & the US institutions are so dysfunctional that they allow him to do so. Sad. /4

Meanwhile, @brianstelter.bsky.social reports on media mogul Barry Diller's interest in maybe buying CNN. Unlikely, Brian says. For one thing, he's too liberal. Meaning: Trump won't have it. And that's everyday life as we get Orbánized here. e.newsletters.cnn.com/click?Ecm9zZ...

"The America we love will survive the current authoritarian push only if enough of us choose to condemn it, and loudly. We in Silicon Valley can’t bend the knee to Trump. We can’t shrink away and just hope the crisis will fade." sfstandard.com/opinion/2026...

Breaking Bloomberg: Trump just sued the IRS and Treasury Department for $10 billion over the unauthorized disclosure of his tax returns to the press during his first term in office — potentially putting American taxpayers on the hook for a massive payout. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Trump is extorting $10 billion from the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service he controls through his appointees in the most massively corrupt shakedown in US history. It will barely make the mainstream news. bsky.app/profile/kyle...

It’s hard to come to grips with the fact that Presidential elections in particular are decided by roughly 2 million voters across several states who have zero idea what the candidates even represent at all.

We in Silicon Valley can’t bend the knee to Trump. We can’t shrink away and hope the crisis fades. Hope without action is not a strategy –– it’s an invitation for Trump to trample whatever he can see. More: sfstandard.com/opinion/2026...

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I think it is good they are doing the Noem impeachment but I can't get over they could be doing this same exact thing for all of them and also Donald Trump.

Nothing has changed.

Either Director Gabbard believes there was a legitimate foreign intelligence nexus – in which case she is in clear violation of her obligation under the law to keep the intelligence committees ‘fully and currently informed’ of relevant national security concerns...

This has become a regular thing. Trump's account posts as if he's dysregulating into delirium all night, and we get no reporting on what this even looks like inside the White House. Unchecked madness and propaganda at levels history won't even be able to process.

again, if you are hearing about an empathetic, soulful, new-tone trump pivot calming things down in Minnesota, the people who are telling you this are trying to trap your mind inside a false, alternate reality. please consider why exactly they are doing this.

Very interesting interview, especially the play out of his discussions with Trump.

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them: 1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens 2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar 3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

Violating court orders is now standard practice for the Trumpers. Put otherwise, Trump and his Republican Regime are lawless.

We should stop trying to make sense of the nonsense Trump spews & simply ask: How can the US take care of a clearly mentally ill president? 25th Amendment? Impeachment? Does the US have any functioning & responsible institutions? It should be the Congress.
