GEORGIA — Trump’s DHS just bought an ICE detention warehouse for $128 MILLION… that sold for $29 MILLION two years ago… from a Russia-based real estate company.🤔 Nothing to see here, folks! We are being looted so hard by these crooks

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!) This is not a real problem. “The SAVE ACT is a Trojan horse to nationalize elections”: open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

"We can create rules that govern how industries may use AI. We have agency. It is possible to use society’s power—the consent of the governed—to establish laws...This seems like something the next Democrat who wants to be president should think about." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

"It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files. (US Attorney General) Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched." - Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).

"In 2023, the economy added 3 million jobs. In 2024, still under Biden, it added 2.2 million jobs. In 2025, under Trump, it added just 181,000 jobs. This is a story about an economy getting throttled by one man and his capricious, destructive governance." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

in order to save this country we are probably going to have to do things that make rich men sad 😔

Oh come the F on... "Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said at a congressional hearing Wednesday that the president has the right to interfere with the decision-making of the Federal Reserve."

Three rules in FBI firearm training: 1. Always point your weapon downrange 2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot 3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

Today @cato.org published our report providing the first look at the fiscal effects of the wave of legal & illegal immigration over the last 3 decades. It shows immigrants created surpluses every year, by a combined $14.5 trillion, even as deficits grew www.cato.org/white-paper/...

There’s the winning message. They finally nailed it.

Republicans love adding seats to state Supreme Courts! They've done it three times in recent years. This latest court-packing plan will shift Utah's high court far to the right and possibly flip rulings on abortion and gerrymandering. Democrats should take note that Rs have deemed this acceptable!

The confidential source alleged that Donald Trump remained “very close” with the convicted child sex offender even after his election.

A newborn in Minneapolis hadn’t eaten for a day and a half Her mother risked going into work when ICE took her away. At home waiting for her were her 16yo daughter and the 3mo baby The teen tried to feed the baby, who was exclusively breastfed, formula to no avail 19thnews.org/2026/02/minn...

Important clip here. Non-political people are out on the streets of Minneapolis to defend their neighbors peacefully. Authoritarians and anarchists are lighting fires—achieving nothing and in fact setting back nonviolent efforts. And people like Will are out filming them asking them to be peaceful.

"Since 9/11, the culture of ICE and CBP has meant that the agencies have been what you might call a fascist-secret-police-in-waiting, troubled agencies simply waiting for an ambitious would-be authoritarian."-Graff

Doing precisely what they were trained to do. @klobuchar.senate.gov this is why abolition, not “training” or “guardrails,” is the only answer. #DefundDHS

The issue here isn't new recruits. These are longstanding agents shooting civilians on the street. Here's @vermontgmg.bsky.social on abuses at ICE and especially CBP: the US sees more crimes PER CAPITA - that is, per US resident - from these immigration officers than from all illegal immigrants. 5/

Trump’s main demand with tariffs: say words that give Trump positive headlines. To the extent it’s an actual strategy, it’s like getting vague announcements to lease some units in a new building then telling other investors it’s going fast. Except international relations isn’t scammy real estate.

1/ Ian Austin has since been re-arrested along with Don Lemon, which he believes is bc the video we made of him (below) criticizing the Trump regime and encouraging fellow vets to wake up had gotten millions of views. It's not just journalists. It's ANYONE. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The power of MAGAnomics!

This is quite literally every right-leaning, gun-humping, black helicopter-spotting, Glenn Beck-watching white man's mortal fear from 2010. Now it's just something they scroll past.

This is from Georgia Fort’s video. DEA?!? Gotta be a “task force.”

Still lol I mean look, I had a lot of f***cked up sh*t on my Trump 2.0 bingo card. But threatening to completely tank US regional capacity by decertify like half the fleet over whether some rich ppl buy American was…not on the card

For those who think it's premature to make this analogy: This was how Republicans talked about the IRS funding one month after it passed. They made it their mission to roll that back. Now they're even getting Democrats to vote for it. federalnewsnetwork.com/budget/2022/...

Among everything else, the term "dox" has become meaningless. How do you dox a Senator?

Take his personal army away from him while you can, you stupid, stupid assholes. You’re like an armadillo playing dead in the middle of the road so the semi won’t hurt you

"ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence"

Personally I think this is too much money to give to Donald trumps poorly trained but heavily armed Militia

Mad King demands guards search homes of everyone who said he didn’t have clothes

Might I recommend this to help shape your thinking? To me, it made everything else I heard about the movie irrelevant. youtu.be/PLppYKFJ9B8?...

BTW, if Senate Dems want technical reforms, here's one: amend 8 USC 1357 so DHS agents do not have power to arrest without a judicial warrant unless they are GS-1811, grade of GS-13 or higher. Real criminal investigations would be unaffected, but CBP & ICE goon squads would be severely limited.

Simon: "They don't just want the public stuff which anyone can get - name, address, voting history, stuff like that. What they want is very personal, private, sensitive data on millions of people - namely, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, military service history where applicable"

The toughest people these ICE/BP guys have ever encountered are a male nurse, a lesbian poet, some grandmas, and folks in little cars like a Honda Fit. It's shattering their worldview and sense of self. Wasn't supposed to be this way. The podcasters and X posters and supplement sellers said so.

This is what Democrats in the Senate and the House can be doing right now: running defacto impeachment hearings. Every Wed night, at Union Station, get people from Minneapolis on TV testifying about how Kristi Noem’s criminal and impeachable acts. Say “impeachment.” Have a TV producer run it.

Republican politicians who think that Minneapolis is a political problem are missing the point. It is a moral problem. But they are in so deep that they cannot see just how morally bankrupt they have become. They do not understand that we are as revulsed by their complicity as by Trump's cruelty.

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

“You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple.” — FBI Dir. Kash Patel

I am seeing quite a few nurses calling for a nationwide strike over the killing of Alex Pretti. I think we are seeing one of the largest workforces being radicalized before our very eyes.

Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border. Data suggests separations are now happening all over the country, often after little more than a traffic stop. (Published Nov. 2025)

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

I didn’t realize that the 2nd Amendment counted only for Republicans.
