Pritzker’s invoice to White House: (via @nbcnews.com) @govpritzker.illinois.gov

This is a truly horrifying memo. It says that the policy of the US government will now be to proactively seek out and arrest likely tens of thousands of refugees who entered legally under Biden and subject them to detention, where they will be interrogated about their status.

GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after the new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”

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.

Like his Confederate forebears, Ted Cruz talked a big game, started a fight, got absolutely dog walked, then cried about how unfair it all was. A story in four images.

This is no longer about politics. It is about good vs evil. Remember this. You have not got hate so deep in your soul it makes you evil. You still have your moral code, and don’t have to pretend to be religious for pseudo righteousness.

So a real racial repair and reckoning might stop fascism.. if only we had tried that

Imagine that

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Patriotism is about striving for a righteous country, not parroting empty slogans and waving a flag. Our athletes get it.

I have very serious concerns about the Department of Homeland Security’s plans to build an ICE detention center in Washington County.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is just a delight on every level

COONS: Joe, it's same rules NYPD follows. Do you see roving bands of NYPD w/ masks using bear spray on people? KERNEN: You lost the election! That doesn't give you right to shut down govt C: I have to fight for the core value of our democracy, including law enforcement that doesn't murder citizens

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

This is really suspicious. They’re up to something. Link to thread: x.com/mattberg33/s...

My law firm intervened in every case DOJ has filed to gain access to states' sensitive voting data. So far we have won several and lost none. But this is going to be a long fight for free and fair elections.

I stand with County Executive Calvin Ball as he signs emergency legislation today prohibiting privately owned buildings from being used as ICE detention centers. Howard County chose dignity, accountability, and its people. Tune into our event now: bit.ly/4a2VtHw

ICE is still doing checkpoints in Minneapolis like we are an occupied territory. Life remains really hard here thanks to Trump's thugs.

These people are terrorists. Full stop.

Back-to-back elections are among the head-spinning electoral oddities that voters in heavily Democratic Houston have experienced. Taken together, voters’ questions surrounding this pileup of elections and the new House boundaries mark an unwieldy start to the 2026 midterm campaigns.

Dismantle DHS and abolish ICE

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

This result in the Texas one kind of blow me away because they only really seem possible in a world where there is massive, unprecedented persuasion or the GOP just decided not to turn out at all

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families. Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota. The cruelty is endless.

Solidarity with every single person participating in today’s general strike against ICE’s terror campaign. You’re changing the world ✊🏽❤️

Breaking: Days after declaring, "I'm not going to live in fear" in a now-viral video, Army veteran Ian Austin was arrested by federal agents on Friday. Austin was part of a group, including journalist Don Lemon, that interrupted a St. Paul church service.

National Nurses United, largest nurses' union in US, are holding actions over the coming week in honor of Alex Pretti and all others killed by ICE www.nationalnursesunited.org/week-of-acti...

Here is the gift article: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Insurers sometimes deny coverage citing lack of progress, labeling patients’ conditions as chronic. Yet if they do make progress, insurers have also used that to argue patients no longer need treatment. Doctors are left to walk a tightrope. (Published Dec. 2024)

The woman who survived five gunshots from a Border Patrol agent in Chicago, only to be criminally charged and then cleared, now wants a judge’s permission to share records showing how the feds respond when agents use deadly force. @chicago.suntimes.com story: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

There is no way to interpret this administration's actions and rhetoric with regard to vaccines as anything other than an attempt to suppress vaccination.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

TikTok is under right wing billionaire control now. Plan your exit strategy.

They killed a man and he’s proud of it. The one thing that the Americans at the Nuremberg Trials decided was the through line of the Nazis there…was a lack of empathy. They dehumanize and we are just nothing to them.

an instructive example of just how much things shifted for congressional Republicans between the shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti: Minnesota Rep. Michelle Fischbach's responses to each incident www.axios.com/2026/01/26/i...

It's *almost* like state propaganda. Why would the State lie to us though?? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🧐

Two former presidents felt compelled to comment publicly

I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage

A lot of the Male Loneliness Epidemic can be traced back to the fact that most cis dudes don’t participate in communal logistics.

"Separate analyses by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Associated Press, CBS News and other organizations all concluded that the videos contradict the Trump administration’s description of the killing." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/25/o...

Along with the eyes of every American who watched the videos, except for the MAGAs who have given up thinking for themselves.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

"...we maintain this weird double standard: Soldiers in combat zones must refuse unlawful orders, but civilians facing unlawful force from domestic law enforcement must submit." publicseminar.org/2026/01/the-...

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Some people say not to call them Nazis because there are antecedents in our own history, while others are over-reliant on outside examples. But it's important to acknowledge the mingling of our own trends and history with global fascist legacies and movements because that's our reality.

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:
