It was @asharangappa.bsky.social who first put this idea in my head, but really starting to feel like they're gonna try to get Maduro to cop to some insane 2020 election conspiracy in exchange for leniency www.reuters.com/world/americ...

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program. This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE. Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

I don’t like this

Kamala Harris mused about price controls for food for about five minutes in fall 2024, & the entire country & national media lost its stuff over “SOCIALISM!!!” 🤔🤷‍♂️ Happy week, everyone.

Moulton: This is state-sponsored terror. This is what you would expect to see in North Korea or Iran or the old Soviet Union. We’ve got to crack down on the government before they crack down on the American people.

The Billionaires Bill worked! Billionaires made over $1.5 trillion dollars last year; more than 20% richer!! The looting and polluting continues…

Steps toward accountability. "Brad Karp is stepping down as chair of Paul Weiss and will be replaced by top deals lawyer Scott Barshay, after revelations about his relationship with child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein."

I’ve watched this about 20 times already

it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

The George Will Rule Demonstrated Again: document discovery in litigation surrounding the DHS midnight raid on a Chicago apartment building establishes beyond any doubt that every claim DHS made about Tren de Aragua in order to justify the raid was a simple lie, known to them to be a lie.

Whistleblower puts Tulsi on notice that he will go to Congress himself if her office doesn’t respond by Friday.

Let me explain the math behind why the destruction of the Washington Post isn't about money. The paper is now losing $100 million a year. Jeff Bezos is worth $253 billion. This means he could self-fund the Washington Post for THE NEXT 2,000 YEARS and still have $53 billion LEFT OVER.

He just tweeted it out …

After Trump tells NBC News he could maybe use a "softer touch" on immigration, we immediately get the "different tone" narrative from CNN. Brianna Keilar: "A change of tone for the president. Softer touch." David Chalian: "He acknowledged learning something that this requires a softer touch."

I hate this motherfucker so much.

Interesting trend unfolding in this cycle's special elections (data courtesy of @the-downballot.com). In 2018, Dems way overperformed on average in heavily GOP districts; slightly in more competitive ones; and not at all in heavily Dem districts. In 2026, they're gangbusters in all three.

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan. It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash. “ICE GTFO OF MN” Minneapolis February 4, 2026

The most notorious fraudster scammed ICE agents? No way.

That mask is also popular with neo-Nazi accelerationist groups, which I think is really important to mention. Just like it's important to mention that ICE agents in Denver have been dropping Ace of Spades cards where they've kidnapped people. The white nationalist culture at work is clear.

NEW: In a bipartisan vote, the House Oversight Committee advanced a bill by @repkweisimfume.bsky.social calling for domestic mail-in ballot envelopes to include a standardized barcode that would allow voters to track ballots, starting with this year's federal election mfume.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

In no functioning country is this allowed.

How much money has Trump pocketed from the presidency since his second election? NYTimes Editorial Board did the math and it’s insane….

Not enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop. ICE must be abolished.

Recording an ICE agent doesn't make you an agitator. Bringing meals to neighbors scared to leave home doesn't make you an extremist. Making sure a child isn't abducted doesn't make you a domestic terrorist. We will not tolerate these attacks on peaceful protest.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

New Q poll: ICE approval 34%-63%, down from 40%-57% on Jan. 13. 60% think ICE should withdraw from Minneapolis, while 36% think ICE should continue its operations in Minneapolis. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

Sharing one of the most powerful videos I've seen in our fight against Trump.... Watch this incredible testimony from a citizen making the case against ICE's building of a "detention" center in Surprise, Arizona. Watch, and then share, and share again..... www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/we-know-en...

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

At what point does a misrepresentation become a lie?

Payroll giant ADP reported that employers in the private sector added just 22,000 jobs in January, about half the size of the 45,000-job gain economists were expecting. https://cnn.it/3ZORhoz

Whistleblower’s lawyer to Tulsi: “You have given us zero guidance… I will contact the senate committee re your conduct on Monday… I maintain top secret eligibility and have been routinely read into matters of national security…” (From @AdamParkhomenko)

Congress has a real chance right now to influence and change the trajectory of immigration enforcement in the US and arrest the use of ICE and CBP as a fascist secret presidential interior police. Here's my research on what would make a difference: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-ways-t...

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...

If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

Jacob Frey: "The continued presence of 2,000 federal agents in a city that only has 600 police officers is still not deescalation"

These numbers are simply incredible. It's very clear that most ordinary people have figured out that ICE is not remotely functioning as a law enforcement agency any longer and that none of this is about enforcing the law in any recognizable sense.

What Bannon is proposing is illegal. Brennan Center: “It is illegal to deploy federal troops or armed federal law enforcement to any polling place. In fact, it is a federal crime for anyone in the U.S. military to interfere in elections in any way.” www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

I hope every Democratic member of the House and Senate reads this and factors it into whatever funding bill gets agreed to. We have seen what ICE can do to U.S. Citizens in the streets, imagine what they will do at the polls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Just published front page of Thursday's FT: will the Epstein files take down the government of Keir Starmer while having no reverberations in the US whatsoever?

Remarkable: Trump's planned migrant prison camps are hitting deep resistance in red areas. In Virginia's partly rural Hanover (+26 Trump) opposition is intense. GOP leaders in other states are opposed. Voters are rejecting mass deportations big time. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2060...
