Ellison: "Trump undermines Tom Homan just as soon as he sends him here, which tells us what? There's chaos in the White House. They don't know what they want. They don't clue as to what their plan or strategy is other than brutal repression."

The Justice Department is defending Tulsi Gabbard’s presence at Atlanta election search.

The ACLU is trying to convince Trump’s labor board to overturn precedent that expansively protects workers’ speech rights. The nonprofit wants the NLRB to instead adopt narrower rules that make it much easier for employers to fire workers for speaking up.

No wonder Dem efforts to turn off the Taxpayer-funded ICE gravy train are scaring private prison GOP donors half to death!

Facing a massive budgetary crisis, Zohran Mamdani is breaking with technocratic norms to openly explain the deficit while reiterating his pledges to oppose austerity and tax the rich — which means walking a political tightrope with Gov. Kathy Hochul.

Heartbreaking. Losing Catherine O'Hara … I'm not ready for that … ever. She gave so much joy. Esp to my niece (now 27) who very much felt a kindred spirit to O'Hara's Sally in "Nightmare Before Xmas." Too many great performances to name. But her work w/ Christopher Guest is standout gold.

Full story here and other outlets… 💔 💔 💔 A treasure of a woman. Such kindness and warmth. With madness and cruelty spreading unabated, we (I!) need more Catherines in my life, not less.

Minnesota is in a standoff with the federal government over who has the power to investigate the killing of protesters. It's not a fair fight, writes Emily Bazelon. nyti.ms/4tagJT6

The good news is this means things are going terribly for them. The bad news is they’re going to become increasingly desperate, violent, and brutal. And have three years to escalate unless Trump can be removed first.

“This weekend, Amazon is premiering its $75 million Melania Trump documentary. It already seems to be a flop,” a post in r/BoycottUnitedStates explained. “We're going to add insult to injury by messing up Melania's Amazon search results." Right now, Melania: Devourer of Men is an Amazon bestseller.

Adding the name of Donald Trump, a notorious philanderer, to the Kennedy Center is, as Shakespeare said, “To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, To throw a perfume on the violet” Also, thousands of queers have theatrical experience, but incompetent Trump hired one without any to run the place?

DUCKWORTH: If it's true that we are not at war with Venezuela, will you advise the president to rescind his invocation of the wartime Alien Enemies Act? RUBIO: That was a mechanism to remove people from our country that present great danger D: It's a wartime act. Are we currently at war? R: No

The chief federal judge in Minnesota excoriated ICE on Wednesday, saying it had violated nearly 100 court orders stemming from its aggressive crackdown in the state and had disobeyed more judicial directives in January alone than “some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

Masking is not about doxing. That is the excuse. They are wearing masks so people cannot identify agents who engage in abuses, civil rights violations, and crimes. You can’t report someone or hold them accountable in any way if you can’t identify them.

The administration can't have it both ways. When it's a question of bypassing immigrants' constitutional rights under the Alien Enemies Act, they say we're at war. When they want to dodge congressional oversight, they say we're not at war. So which is it?

An extraordinary document. Read it. “Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”
