NEW: For weeks, Trump has been pushing for the release of election denier Tina Peters from a Colorado prison — but state officials refuse to give in. Now, the president seems to be seeking retribution against the state. His latest move? Vetoing a bill to fund a clean water pipeline.

Here's another angle of the moment when ICE murdered this innocent woman in Minneapolis, Minnesota… 🤬

Confirmation of a shooting of a woman (in her face) by ICE in MN. More details as it unfolds. So tired of their violence as their SOP with people. It’s unnecessary

"I have a message for ICE: Get the f--- out of Minneapolis," Frey said. www.rawstory.com/get-the-f-ou...

the video is out, there is no reason to not send local law enforcement to arrest the ice agent in question and yes i know they will refuse to hand them over and you treat that exactly how you would treat it under any other similar circumstance

I don't doubt it for a moment. When you have a sadist running the country, murder and carnage are inevitable.

Cold-blooded murder in Minneapolis. "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." ~ Orwell l984. ICE is a terrorist organization.

We need a complete and total shutdown of Dem comms until we figure out what the hell is going on

Alleged shooter here.

This Statement from DHS Is Truly Sick

The House is expected to vote this week to restore ACA tax credits. All Members of Congress need to do the right thing for the American people.

The Trump DOJ admitted in a court filing that it continues to violate the law by failing to disclose the entirety of the Epstein Files. I analyze why the Trump DOJ is complicit in the cover-up & cover a shocking disclosure by a photographer who was in Epstein's home. youtu.be/RjWCxPqcqMM?...

If they let it get transferred into federal jurisdiction, nothing will ever happen and if it does, a pardon will be coming as soon as Trump can sign the papers.

NEW: Since taking office, Trump has attacked entities ranging from government agencies to law firms and universities. But he’s also targeting nonprofits, which not only risks silencing the vital work of these groups but also grants him even more power, @rachelrossi.bsky.social writes.

Will this TrumpWorld madness ever end?

Two weeks after the DOJ was ordered to release all of the Epstein files, less than 1% have been made public. Though the DOJ said it needs time to redact files to protect victims, it seems more likely that its delay is protecting the wrong people. https://bit.ly/3LzdHGW

On the fifth anniversary of the Jan 6. attack, the White House launched a new website claiming those prosecuted were victims of a "weaponized" justice system and accusing Democrats of fabricating an "insurrection" narrative. https://bit.ly/4sszukf

NEW: Two weeks after the DOJ was supposed to release all of the Epstein files, only 0.6% of the documents have come to light. From suddenly removing images of Trump to rejecting accusations against him in the files, it’s clear the DOJ is playing defense for the president. https://bit.ly/3LzdHGW

Seventeen former DOJ Civil Rights Division lawyers warned the department's unprecedented pursuit of states' unredacted voter data is actually a move to help create a "national voter roll" aimed at rooting out noncitizens. https://bit.ly/3NwnePy

NEW: Five years ago, a violent mob attacked the U.S. Capitol in an effort to overturn a free and fair election. Instead of acknowledging the brutal history, the White House opted to rewrite it by launching a website that falsely portrays the effort as a miscarriage of justice. https://bit.ly/4sszukf

NEW: Trump has no settled view of foreign policy, but there is one thing he is consistent on: his own political ambitions. And his rhetoric surrounding Venezuela has revealed that election denialism is the principle behind most of his actions, Marc Elias writes. https://bit.ly/49ud9Kt

NEW: The DOJ has sued 21 states and D.C. for access to their complete voter files — a move that could enable Trump to use Americans’ private data against them. While my firm is involved in all cases, big law firms are sitting out the fight, Marc Elias writes. https://bit.ly/3LfRkGw

NEW: In 2023, Ohio voters codified reproductive freedom into law. Now, three years later, state Republicans are pushing to oppose the people by pursuing a backdoor ban on abortion that targets telemedicine and Medicaid funding, @susanrinkunas.com writes. https://bit.ly/4srpQhH

Wading through nonstop redistricting news because millions voted for a convicted felon who’s destroying American democracy was not exactly in our cards. But it’s unfolding before our eyes. Here’s everything you need to know👇 https://bit.ly/3Yc8ac8

Over the weekend, Trump conducted a military operation to capture Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and announced the U.S. would run the country for the time being — a move critics are blasting as “a grave abuse of power by the President.” https://bit.ly/4q25NF7

🚨BREAKING: DOJ admits it has only released 12,285 documents required by Epstein Files Transparency Act. More than 2 million documents still need to be reviewed/released. DOJ is in violation of federal law that required release by Dec. 19. More from Democracy Docket in am. www.democracydocket.com

TODAY’S DOCKET ⚖️ A New York court will hear a pro-voting lawsuit arguing the state’s 2024 congressional map dilutes the voting power of Staten Island’s Black and Latino voters, who constitute 30% of the population yet have gone unaccounted for. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-yo...

Quote from Barbara McQuade It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

📽️ NEW: The DOJ is seeking access to Americans’ most sensitive voter data. Marc Elias explains why this unprecedented grab is central to voter suppression, election subversion and litigation designed to undermine free and fair elections in 2026👇

A pro-voting group filed complaints against a federal election agency over potentially unlawful behavior and partisanship. One filing cited comments from a top official who accused Democrats of supporting “open borders,” because “they need the votes.”

¡Una ocupación militar! Suena a Afganistán e Irak.

Trump is afraid of gangs, that’s why there is no plan for Venezuela going forward.

Is Hegseth strutting around in full tumescent Steven J. Lockjaw mode today?

Great Graphic..... This says it all.....

Texas Replacing School Counselors With Untrained Chaplains

The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too. Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

Tell me it was not about the oil!!!! share.newsbreak.com/gm39djjd?s=i16

Is this terrorism?

Funny how regime change is always “necessary,” “temporary,” and “different this time.” And yet it always ends the same way: chaos, suffering, and a long list of apologies that never come.

This isn’t about democracy. It’s about oil. Democracy is just the costume that regime change wears to look respectable.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
