TONIGHT: @ossoff.bsky.social joins @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social on The #LastWord at 10pm ET.

The worker who called Trump a “pedophile protector” has been suspended. He says he has “definitely no regrets whatsoever,” adding: “I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity. And today I think I did that.” wapo.st/4sG38CD

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

UPDATE: A federal judge in NY has ordered the Trump DOJ to respond by Friday, January 16th, to the request by Rep. @khanna.house.gov and Rep. Thomas Massie for the appointment of a Special Master to get the DOJ to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Padilla: What they're doing is not law enforcement. It's intimidation. What they're doing isn't about safety. It's about scaring communities

American taxpayers shouldn't be treated as pawns. If Trump keeps threatening to illegally withhold funds from Illinois, then we'll keep fighting for what our people deserve. We've beaten the administration in court before — and we're not afraid to keep doing so.

The Epstein files should have been released a long time ago.

💯

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just launched flash bang grenades at protesters in front of federal building in Minneapolis—causing massive explosions. "It's terrorizing, this isn't the America I served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy," tearful protester tells us. WE'RE LIVE NOW ⬇️

Markey: This administration has proved time and time again that it is only interested in vengeance, that it lies and lacks all humanity. Today, six federal prosecutors resigned because the DOJ wants to investigate Renee's widow rather than Renee's killer

What is an appropriate punishment for Miller, at this point? 👇 Prison, deportation, death sentence?!

“This federal invasion of the Twin Cities has to stop, so today I am suing DHS to bring it to an end.” Don't sue... activate the state guard. This is a military operation. It needs a military response. Strongly worded letters have zero impact or power. Guns do, though...

Today would be a fantastic day to release the Epstein Files.

Van Hollen: We are here to say not one more dime for Donald Trump's ICE operations

Merry Protein to all! Now abolish ICE to end the war on American citizens.

Murphy: The United States Congress should not fund a Department of Homeland Security that is not obeying the laws of the United States of America

32 people died in ICE custody last year — the agency’s deadliest year in over two decades. Meanwhile, private prison corporations that are building and overseeing ICE detention centers are raking it in. Cashing in on cruelty.

Markey: ICE has become the criminals they say they are supposed to be catching

Why do ICE agents carry guns? Not one single report of them being shot at!! Not one single story about apprehending anyone with a gun!! Take the weapons away from the untrained, unrestrained, incompetent agents. Do it for public safety.

This vote exposes the isolation of the President's new reality. He can command the executive branch. He can purge the military. He can weaponize the Department of Justice. But he cannot force the legislative branch to participate in his delusion.

🤬🤬🤬 RELEASE THE DAMN UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES! JUSTICE FOR THE VICTIMS!!

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen: "If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU." "Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

The Trump administration has suggested Powell violated the law with his renovations of the Fed’s headquarters, but the Fed argues it can renovate the buildings however it wants.

Ansari: I think ICE is completely out of control, and there should be no more funding given to ICE. The funding that's already has been given to them through the big ugly bill should be stripped entirely

Bruce Springsteen: “He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment & impeachment were for — If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history”

Can we get some Wikileaks or Anonymous to release the full and unredacted Epstein files? Or better yet, anyone credible with a shred of decency?

Goldman: Until DHS reins in this rogue and authoritarian ICE secret police force, there should be no more funding provided to DHS.

Warner: "We've had American intervention in Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Nigeria, Venezuela, maybe Greenland where he would blow up NATO. Did you see the Brits and Germans are putting troops in Greenland because they want to send a message. How is this leading to price stability, bringing down costs?"

NEW: Mass resignations at the DoJ Civil Rights Division - including the Chief of the Criminal Section - over the administration’s refusal to investigate the murder of Renee Good. www.cbsnews.com/news/minneap...

tRUMPSTEIN wants so bad to be known as president ... of another country ... he even goes as far as faking a wiki page to proclaim it!! 🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣 THE GREATEST AND BIGLIEST OF ANYTHING HE DOES ... THE GREATEST AND BIGLIEST LAUGHING STOCK OF THE WORLD!!! 💯💯💯🤣😅🤣

This is Minneapolis: Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city. Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

🚨🇵🇸 BREAKING The Red Cross confirms Israel has blocked all visits to Palestinian detainees since Oct 2023, denying families any information about their loved ones’ fate, health, or conditions.

“The President of the United States is a criminal. He’s not just a convicted criminal. He should have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th. He is running the government like a mob operation.“

i know this isn't exactly mindblowing but i'm fucking mad that it's easier to become an ice agent than to get a us visa slate.com/news-and-pol...

I fear trumps threatening to bomb Iran and other countries will lead us into WWIII. He is too stupid to understand he is not that powerful and other leaders will fight back. He is drunk on power now and his advisers are the same. America is in a dangerous place due to trump

What's to stop the Trump regime from going after you next? All of us need to realize the danger we are facing right now. A dictatorship knows no bounds. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/it-could-be-you-next

Is it possible that rather than the systematic destruction of our democracy being a distraction from the release of the #EpsteinFiles, the files themselves are the distraction? Asking because I’m increasingly convinced their full, unredacted release still wouldn’t do jack squat to rid us of Trump.

But in a sense it's actually worse than a war crime, because there is no war. It's just a crime. It's a crime—murder—whether or not the aircraft can be identified as part of a military force.

Democrats need to realize ICE isn’t just—or even primarily—a mass deportation force. ICE is also Trump’s most loyal internal security force which will be used to attack regime opponents and try to steal the election. They should defund his authoritarian capabilities.

Kristi Noem must be impeached. Tell Congress we’ve had ENOUGH of her garbage!

ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION, YET?! 👇 Trump "regrets" not ordering the National Guard to seize voting machines from swing states after losing the 2020 election. Which means HE WILL try to seize them next time, maybe even at the midterms… Because he knows if he can't 'fix it'…he's TOAST. Enjoy. 😎✨

Minnesota AG Keith Ellison: "There is no statute of limitations on murder. So this case is not going to be over even if they try to block a high quality investigation."

There's oil and minerals under Greenland. That's why the deranged, greedy fuck wants it.

Putin has an extreme hatred for American exceptionalism and wants to make the US look like Russia on the world stage. In order for that to happen, he needs Trump & the other Republicans to behave like Russia. To that end, Putin may fantasize about the US having a Chechnya.

I want for Putin to regret destroying the United States from within via Donald Trump because the nation will not only heal but establish ACTUAL equity and equality. It’s a psychological game. Surrendering now assures he wins.
