Trump says he’s closing the Kennedy Center for two years for renovations, as if everyone can’t see he’s trying to hide yet another abject failure resulting from him seizing control.

We asked PAXIS to give ICE agents 3 pieces of advice: 1. There’s no statute of limitations for murder. 2. No such thing as absolute immunity. 3. ICE agents are being prosecuted—even now. Those in power today won’t be forever. Support PAXIS: paxis.app – “ICE KNOCKS, WE ANSWER.”

Music brings communities together — ICE tears communities apart. Artists across all genres made that clear at last night's Grammy Awards.

I haven’t seen it. I hope you don’t, either. But let's be real about what's going on here. My purpose today is less to highlight this inane excuse for a film than to talk about its real excuse. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/melania-the-film-the-shame

The Trump administration is known for its liberal use of tariffs in response to economic issues. But how are those rates decided? Economists weigh in.

UPDATE: We just filed a preliminary injunction in our lawsuit against DOJ for records about its collection of confidential voter data. After the Trump admin's coercive request that Minnesota hand over its voter list, the public needs answers even more urgently.

“Are you listening, America? If you live in one of these 14 Blue States, Trump is threatening…to hold you hostage — possibly endangering millions upon millions of American lives — unless your leaders let him do what he did in Minnesota.” www.defiance.news/p/do-you-liv...

Says the convicted felon, who pardoned cult members from January 6th. BTW, you ARE in the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

BREAKING: ICE memo expands authority for warrantless arrests

MAGA takes on terrorizing Minnesota as an extracurricular activity. "Classes have been called off in the Columbia Heights school district today due to what officials are calling a bomb threat. The closure comes as 5-year-old preschool student Liam Conejo Ramos & his father from Columbia Heights

The Trump administration’s policies are disrupting and dividing communities. We visit three of them.

Punxsutawney Phil has seen his shadow, predicting 6 more weeks of winter.

*Taps mic🎙️* Stop defending billionaires. They stole your wages and framed your inability to "get ahead"as a moral failing. They funded social wars to keep you distracted from the fact they're rigged our economy and democracy to work for them, not you.

“Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected. That is outrageous,” a group of 18 survivors of Epstein’s abuse said in a joint statement reacting to the release of data exposing their identities.

As blackouts still cover the Kyiv region, WCK teams are serving meals at the Invincibility Train Cars, designed to provide warmth and comforting meals. Our teams are serving meals to families while making sure that they have a place to come together. #ChefsForUkraine

PALANTIR is "Like Uber for authoritarians." Any time the Trump regime says "AI", what you should hear is "repression as a service": 1. AI as an excuse to consolidate data 2. AI to execute orders that humans would refuse "Europe, do me a favour and don't contribute to a worldwide tyranny machine."

If you're looking for detailed crosstabs showing Trump's current approval rating among various demographic groups in the US, we've published those here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... For example, 32% of men under 30 currently approve of Trump's job performance; 67% disapprove.

To hear Trump tell it, “nobody would care” if, as a result of his baseless lawsuit against the IRS, he agreed to award himself billions of taxpayer dollars, so long as he gave the money to charity. Given his own record, it’s not nearly that simple. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Powerful testimony.

The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are meant to send a message of intimidation and domination. But they thought they were sending the same message with the invasion of Minneapolis, and they got more than they bargained for. My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/don-lemon-...

After COVID we understand what graphs like this mean.....

Here's our discussion of these Fox numbers on ICE. As immigration advocate Lia Parada points out, with all that money ICE's raids will only get much worse, and the backlash will keep growing. newrepublic.com/article/2059...

Remarkable: 55% of noncollege whites and even 50% of rural whites say ICE is too aggressive, per new Fox News poll. And 71% of independents disapprove of Trump on immigration. This is digging deep into Trump's base. We detail these numbers on today's pod: newrepublic.com/article/2059...

If you want to know why John Thune agreed to split the Homeland Security bill, this explains a lot. Republicans are bleeding with rural whites on ICE.

for over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed. ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them

I was curious where ICE and CBP agents in Minnesota were deploying from, so I looked at OPM data. What I found is that their duty stations are almost universally redacted from the public data. www.pbump.net/o/where-are-...

Last week, I voted no on the bill that included funding for ICE. I was unable to support more funding without serious, legislated change.

Trump reversed decades of national security objections to selling advanced AI chips to UAE. National security experts were alarmed. But there was a secret. Before the deal, UAE had sent $187M to the Trumps and $31M to the Witkoffs in secret payments. Mind blowing corruption.

Most House Democrats who spoke during a caucus call on Sunday reportedly plan to continue their protest of funding for DHS, even the short-term CR negotiated by their colleagues in the Senate. talkingpointsmemo.com/live-blog/mo...

Instead of focusing on what works to stop crime, the Trump administration has removed effective crime-fighting resources from local communities. Review real solutions to stopping crime in our new policy framework: https://ampr.gs/4t8chUR

NEW: We have questions—and some tentative answers—about the FBI’s search and seizure of election records in Fulton County, Georgia. Read on, from the @lawfaremedia.org team: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/we-h...

These data dumps have been catastrophic for survivors; over the weekend, WSJ reported that full names were also exposed www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

New: The DOJ left multiple unredacted nude images in the Epstein data dump. They only removed them after 404 Media reported the links. This is very disturbing: www.404media.co/doj-released...

“A review of 47 victims’ full names on Sunday found that 43 of them were left unredacted in files that were made public by the government on Friday, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis. Several women’s full names appeared more than 100 times in the files. “ www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Bad Bunny said it right — we won't let ICE's depravity strip us of our humanity. Our communities, neighbors, and loved ones are worth fighting for.

Amid dwindling ticket sales and canceled performances, Trump announces the Kennedy Center will close for two years for renovations.

Democracy Now! was in the streets of Minneapolis on Friday speaking with protesters who marched in subzero temperatures.

Federal agents killed innocent civilians. The response of the U.S. attorney general is to use it as leverage to illegally access voter data. bit.ly/4bj8dL3

The government has attempted to conflate civil disobedience with terrorism to target political opponents several times throughout U.S. history. Thomas Brzozowski looks at the lessons that can be learned from these cases to protect democratic dissent.

am feeling incapable of character limits rn but as part of this: obviously no coincidence that there are some prominent backers of anti-trans animus in the Epstein files!

no better summation of America's unrepentant rape culture than that one of the biggest stories of the last decade is about the abuse of women and girls and every single stakeholder working on it couldn't give less of a shit about the actual victims of the story

Host: The lawyer for for Liam Ramos and his father say they were following the legal process for asylum. Trump's Deputy AG: I don't know what that means

This is corruption on a breathtaking level. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal nicknamed the "spy sheikh", pumped $187mn into Trump family businesses. A WSJ team has the whole story, reported here for the first time. Remember: Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.
