Legal asylum seeker, no criminal record, working two jobs, dragged out of smashed car and kidnapped by ICE as his US citizen newborn cries in a car seat in the freezing cold in Maine and his wife who barely speaks English pleads for help. WTAF

Hello Donald this is your political strategist speaking. I am advising you today to please keep saying this stuff

People are reading this way wrong. Schumer detached DHS from the other five bills in return for a two week CR on the DHS bill. Now Democrats can make demands on DHS spending without having to shut down agencies covered in the other five bills. They have way more leverage to get real concessions.

GEORGIA — @ossoff.senate.gov : “This is a SEISMIC event. This should have people across 🇺🇸 absolutely shook. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County elections office… this is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections.” (H/T @atrupar.com )

Go Seahawks!!!

Basically Gazprombank's Center for Economic Forecasting (CEF) did some forecasting based on the 2026 budget (that was called optimistic back when it was approved) and confirmed that it’s not going to work. If they leave things the way they are, they’ll probably empty the NWF. So do something

‼️ Russia: “One of Russia's largest state-owned banks has predicted that its National Welfare Fund will be completely depleted within a year.” A more accurate headline should start with 👉 THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE NEEDS TO AMEND THE 2026 BUDGET OR ELSE… ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/01/29/o...

A very important CNN piece on the disastrous diplomatic failures of the past, and on where Trump’s current negotiations with Russia are heading

Witkoff makes me sick with his "lots of good things happening" between russia and Ukraine What good things? Russia bombing a passenger train, blowing people to pieces, burning them alive, and forcing mothers with newborns to jump out of the train in terror for their lives? Or the humanitarian

Seems like a good video for his trial

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

🎯👇 "He created the force, he supported the force, he lionized the force and he used them as his tool to cause retribution. You would think that this would at least be acknowledged, but oh no. Now that ICE did exactly what it was always going to do... the responsibility is down to anyone but Trump."

Russian terror against Ukrainians. A Ukrainian couple was killed by a Russian drone while evacuating from the village of Hrabovske, relatives said. They had lived in a cellar for over a month after Russian forces entered the area. They were hit by several drones, on purpose. #Ukraine

Personally I think this is too much money for Donald trumps untrained heavily armed militia

I cannot stress how completely bizarre & unheard of it is for the DNI to be personally present for a search warrant execution, never mind this one.

There is a strange misconception in the U.S. government that the war in Ukraine is about the territory of Donbas. They believe it because... putin said so? They just cant stop repeating nonsense about giving up Donbas, right? It is not a war for Donbas. It is a war to destroy Ukraine as a state,

CBO estimates troop deployments to US cities in June-December 2025 cost half a billion dollars.

It’s been four days. Who murdered Alex Pretti??

SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms 1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities. 2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct. 3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

Notable. #$BLK

Peter Orszag, Lazard chairman and former Obama OMB director, predicts at an CEO event in NYC that the deficit will end up at 7-7.5% this year. Bessent has said it is under 6%.

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.” newrepublic.com/article/2057...

Last week’s Amicus talked about the evolution of federal immunity, but think about the fact that ICE/DHS is refusing to admit who was involved with these shootings, it’s literally a lawless system, where we can capture a crime from three different angles, but be unable to hold anyone responsible.

This is also interesting: Rep Jamie Raskin is demanding that Pam Bondi and DOJ reveal who precisely was responsible for the decision that FBI won't investigate ICE murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. A Dem House can use subpoena power to ferret this out: newrepublic.com/article/2057...

It’s 39 days beyond the statutory deadline.

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

“I think it's no surprise that a company run by a man who sat behind Trump at his inauguration, and donated to the destruction of the White House, has taken a stance that helps ICE agents retain anonymity,” says Skinner. www.wired.com/story/meta-i...

The FBI has yet to reach out to the woman who recorded the Border Patrol's murder of Alex Pretti because they are engaged in a covering up and committing crime not solving it. www.cnn.com/2026/01/27/u...

An investigation by Hunterbrook Media has found that the American technology company Ubiquiti is supplying Russia with equipment used by the Russian military in its war against Ukraine, including for drone operations, circumventing sanctions⤵️

Thank you, Mr. President.

He treats it like a family photo www.thetimes.com/article/e9fd...

Trump's "Peace Council" and their democracy index score.

Polish FM Radoslaw Sikorski called on Elon Musk to block Russian use of Starlink, saying Russia uses the system to guide drones attacking Ukrainian cities. He warned that profiting from war crimes could harm Musk’s reputation. #Ukraine

Cannot stress enough how refreshing it was to see Mike Macdonald—a defensive coach—be aggressive on Seattle’s final drive. 🎧: apple.co/49YWAGR 📺: youtu.be/Rk_pbU4K9DA?...

The White House finally has at least one photo of a sitting president hanging there

ICE deported a 5-year-old US citizen to Honduras, where she had never been, after holding her & her mother in a hotel room 80 miles from home for several days and not allowing them access to a lawyer www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Enough with these apartheid nuts! www.politico.eu/article/trum...

Breaking Axios: Kristi Noem's language that Alex Pretti wanted to "massacre" federal agents was dictated to Noem and her department by the man most responsible for the controversial operation: Stephen Miller. That's according to four sources who spoke to Axios. www.axios.com/2026/01/27/t...

CNN airs compilation of federal agents acting with extreme aggression towards peaceful observers.

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights. Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

Breaking NBC: Family members of two Trinidadian men who were killed in a U.S. boat strike in October have sued the U.S. government — accusing it of wrongful death and extrajudicial killings. The lawsuit is the first of its kind to be filed against the Trump admin.

DOJ has already decided there will be no civil rights inquiry into the killing of Alex Pretti. So, when Trump says he’s monitoring the DHS shooting review, remember, the conclusion is already in: www.ms.now/news/no-civi...

Trump had dinner with this guy.

Fragments of five bodies were found at the site of Russia’s strike on a train in Kharkiv region, the regional prosecutor’s office reported. “Identification of the victims will only be possible after DNA examinations,” the statement said. Five 💔

Asked about Minneapolis, Victor Wembanyama says, “PR has tried, but I’m not going to sit here and be politically correct.” Then says “it’s crazy that people make it seem like … the murder of civilians is acceptable.”

We live in truly extraordinary times. A Republican president has totally abdicated on <checks notes> free trade, NATO, & the right to keep & bear arms. The corruption & lawlessness are not the only unprecedented things.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com
