Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities: Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

Everyone should call their local election officials and ask them what they're doing to prepare. Our governors should deploy the Guard to protect polling places from voting machine and ballot seizures.

Warner: "There is a very real threat without reforms at ICE that you could have ICE patrols around polling stations. And people say, 'Why would that matter if they're all American citizens?' We've seen ICE discriminate against Latinos ... you don't need to do a lot to discourage people from voting"

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) to ABC about Trump: "I think he intends to try to subvert the elections. He will do everything he can to suppress the vote. If he loses the vote -- I think the Republicans now expect they will get a drubbing in the midterms -- he will take action to overturn the result"

It's not just ABOLISH ICE, it must be ABOLISH and PROSECUTE ICE!

Warner on Fox News Sunday: "What's amazing to me is historically the GOP has been about 'let's not have federal overreach.' We've got federal overreach with ICE. We've got federal overreach w/POTUS saying 'let's nationalize elections.' Do you really want ICE agents showing up at polling stations?"

NEW: Ghislaine Maxwell is set to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights and refuse to answer all questions related to Epstein, Trump, and more during tomorrow’s deposition. Rep. Ro Khanna has sent the following letter to Oversight Committee Chair James Comer in response:

I called the election’s office making an inquiry about the upcoming primary and general election only to be told there were no elections this year. Was it MAGA ignorance or malevolence. It is difficult to say in this red state.

MAGA is so soft that they knew in advance that they’d cry over the Super Bowl halftime show so they created their own. I can’t stop laughing about that. 🤣

Reminder: Trump is also working to end the Voting Rights ACT and the Civil Rights Act. His white supremacy goes way beyond sharing racist images.

Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) says he was uninvited from a bipartisan White House dinner for governors "As the nation’s only Black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight — whether that was the intent or not"

People are tired of the chaos. We don't want concentration camps by our high schools or ICE goons waiting to grab people as they come out of church. We the people have had enough. #sheshed

Trump wants to rewrite U.S. Constitution to begin, "We the White People....

Happy Sunday! ☕️☀️🌸☮️🎵😎💗

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE

Never before listened to Bad Bunny. However, tonight I definitely will listen to this AMERICAN citizen perform. It is amazing how he is causing MAGAT heads to explode. As for the guy with the lyrics about sexually abusing young girls, that would be you Kid Rock, FUCK OFF!!!!!

Arizona must stop enforcing abortion restrictions that predate and contradict a 2024 voter-approved constitutional amendment guaranteeing abortion rights, a judge ordered in a ruling released Friday.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Agree 💯% With Rick Wilson.......

Schultz: We hear over and over again, “Make America Great Again.” They haven’t even tried to make America good.

BREAKING: Kid Rock’s “MAGA Fest” just got CANCELLED after nearly ALL acts bailed 😂🎸 Even the lineup said NOPE to the red-hat vibes. Shinedown, Ludacris, and more walked — turns out unity > division. MAGA music scene in shambles! 🔥 #KidRock #MAGAFlop

I want to thank everyone who posts gift articles of really important stories that all Americans should read but are behind paywalls so most can’t. There are some stories that are so important to the public interest that media companies should remove paywalls on some occasions.

NEW EPISODE: Donald Trump is more desperate than ever — and now he’s saying the quiet part out loud about taking over elections ahead of the 2026 midterms. I break down Trump’s plan to undermine free and fair voting in targeted states and cities. youtu.be/ODU-tIrb4iA?...

NEWS: Democrat Chasity Martinez has won the Louisiana HD-60 special election, defeating Republican Brad Daigle and holding the seat. Martinez won 63%–37%. Trump carried the district by 13 points in 2024. Another major Democratic overperformance.

"House Republicans have just created a precedent that allows Congress to compel former presidents to testify under threat of contempt, which can result in charges that may lead to jail." Someone's not thrilled.

This! 🔥

My heart goes out to our Olympic athletes right now — as they attempt to navigate an extremely difficult time to be an American on the world stage. Trump is the worst of America. These elite athletes are the best. We can stand with them and against him at the same time. 🇺🇸

Elon Musk will sit for a deposition regarding DOGE’s gutting of USAID. Multiple reports estimate that his dismantling of the foreign aid agency directly contributed to thousands of deaths around the world. And that’s just one piece of damage DOGE left behind. Watch.

Trump is refusing to apologize for the racist video and says he didn’t make a mistake. He may not realize it, but this isn’t the hill to die on.

My favorite event at the Olympics so far was the JD Vance booing.

Hey man. You work at a newspaper. Have some self respect and try to write at least one sentence that doesn’t feel like sandpaper on my eyeballs.

The GOP is okay with violence as long as they're the ones holding the gun.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

"The new law forbids counties and local law enforcement from contracting with ICE. It mandates that public bodies terminate any existing immigration detention agreements and prohibits the use of public property for federal civil immigration detention..." kfoxtv.com/news/local/n...

Is Trump unwell? Is he now a Mad King? @maddow.bsky.social joins me for an extended, fascinating and fun Super Bowl special Independent Americans. It’s my old friend Rachel— unplugged. 🍎Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

A federal court has blocked Trump’s shutdown of America's biggest critical infrastructure project - which makes sense, since he's violating legal commitments the federal government made in good faith on my watch.

Donald Trump just lost in court again to Illinois. He’s never had the right to withhold child care funds for Illinoisans — and the District Court’s preliminary injunction tonight has only affirmed that further.

In Ukraine, when a funeral procession with a fallen soldier goes by, everyone stops whatever they are doing to stand silently. Traffic stops. Public transportation stops. Conversation stops. In Lviv, people take this tradition a step further. Most people the procession passes take a knee.
