When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Bondi should be impeached based solely on her conduct today. Talking money when the topic is Epstein victims should earn her contempt of Congress and disbarment as well. She is a disgrace to the legal profession.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise. BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

Today's Jobs Report reveals blue-collar industries are struggling in Trump's economy. Additionally, working-class people made up less than a quarter of total job growth in Trump's first year. Check out the latest analysis from @saraestep.bsky.social and me ⇣ www.americanprogress.org/article/work...

Have you been following the TikTok saga? Trump's deal to divest TikTok from its Chinese owner kept the app from being banned in the U.S.—but almost nothing else is known about this secretive deal.

Today's jobs day report says it all: Trump's economy is leaving workers behind.

The SAVE Act would force many rural Americans to drive hours just to register to vote. This bill is voter suppression.

The SAVE Act would require every American citizen to show a passport or birth certificate and government ID to vote. 146 MILLION Americans do not have a passport. 69 MILLION women do not have a valid birth certificate due to surname changes. The SAVE Act is an anti-voter bill.

Flailing. Making very little sense.

Katie Mettler, a former chair of the Washington Post guild, said: “I’m glad Will Lewis has been fired. I wish it had happened before he fired all my friends.” ... SAME! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/t...

He successfully gutted the Washington Post and will now probably move upward within Trump world.

Breaking News: Will Lewis stepped down as the chief executive and publisher of The Washington Post days after it laid off hundreds of journalists.

Today at school dismissal, I followed a suspicious pickup around for a bit, keeping an eye on them, trying to figure out if they were ICE. Then I realized they were keeping an eye on me also. Then I realized they were, in fact, other parents. Life in Minnesota, January 2026.

Utah launched a pilot program that allows AI to autonomously refill prescriptions. While there is no such thing as medical-grade AI, the program refers to itself as an "AI doctor." This is a dangerous step toward artificial medical practice that the FDA cannot ignore.

Chris Murphy on Fox News Sunday: "What we want in these next two weeks is just to make ICE follow the law. No more of these roving patrols through the cities in which they're demanding that American citizens show their papers. That's what happened in Stalin's Russia."

The contrast between these people and the people of Minneapolis is quite something. And no, 'B-b-but what about the shareholders?' does not wash as an excuse. Everyone has something to lose. www.wired.com/story/after-...

Epstein survivor Lisa Phillips reacts to Todd Blanche: I’m actually shaking right now. I want to fucking cry. It makes me so sick. And he has a wedding ring on. Like, really—how does he go home to his wife. I’m looking at the files right now that shows names…

Are we just supposed to forget that Tom Homan allegedly accepted $50k cash in a paper bag, as he “oversees” the DHS debacle in Minnesota?

Dude. We read the email. You were begging for an invite to the next “party.” You “cleared your calendar.” The mendacity. I hope there are some folks posting the email on X.

I can't think of anything less patriotic than allowing a corrupt pedophile to suspend the constitution so he can murder citizens, enrich himself, and imprison journalists.

Buttigieg on Fox News: "Seeing an American taken to the ground, having his gun removed, being shot in the back 10 times, then having the govt say he was a terrorist all along based on no evidence.. those are kinds of things that as painful as they are, can actually bring together a lot of Americans"

Harvard professor Steven Levitsky, who studies democracy backsliding, on Don Lemon's arrest: “This is a new dimension. In democracies, journalists don't get arrested. In authoritarian regimes, journalists get arrested." More in @status.news: www.status.news/p/don-lemon-...

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

Within half an hour of when Deputy AG Blanche told reporters that DOJ "complied with the statute...we did not protect President Trump," DOJ deleted multiple documents from the database with damning information about Trump. Among those deleted were first-person accounts of Trump raping kids.

Buttigieg on Fox News: "How did this criminal get a pardon from President Trump? Did he contribute to the ballroom project? Did he buy some of that cryptocurrency and make the Trump family wealthier? Why are these many fraudsters getting these pardons?"

Concerning

Warnock on the arrest of Don Lemon: It’s chilling, and I think that is the intent. They intend to send chills down the backs of journalists. The authoritarian march is happening in real time, and it’s way past the time to wake up.

I'm sorry, WHAT?👀 The DNI just happened by a FBI raid and jumped into the back of a truck full of seized ballots?

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Just a fundamentally evil, malevolent person. Rotten to the very core.

Lady Gaga has put out a gorgeous anthem for Minneapolis. youtu.be/e3o5FIXoK84?...

Steyer: If you can’t stand up for the rule of law, and instead stand by for cold-blooded murder of American citizens—you forfeit your right to be a leader. You forfeit your right to talk about things that are not about money. All you get to talk about is money, because that’s all you care about.

Happening right now in Washington, DC: vigil to honor Alex Pretti. Trump has awakened a sleeping giant as Americans are now peacefully mobilizing to stop autocracy.

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.

Trump's regime is killing people in our streets. His admin has escalated their brutality & authoritarianism in Minnesota & communities across the country. We refuse to live in a kingdom ruled by a wannabe dictator. We will not back down.

SHAHEEN: It's been reported that the oil sold for $500 million and $300 million went to Venezuelan government. What happened to the other $200 million? RUBIO: It's still sitting in the account is my understanding SHAHEEN: The account in Qatar? RUBIO: Yes

The president can’t declare war or lock someone up without a fair hearing. That’s why we have Congress. That’s why we have courts. That’s why we have a Constitution. Stand up for checks and balances. Protect due process. Protect democracy.

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

100%. I honestly believe political leaders ask too little of people. The thinking is you need an extraordinarily low bar - so ask people for money or to sign something. People want to be part of something and they're eager to do real meaningful work in defense of their community and their rights.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Hearing folks are bummed they missed the Eyes on ICE training - but good news, it's all recorded and public! We'll be holding more live trainings soon, but if you aren't one of 200,000 who already watched it, find it here: www.youtube.com/live/zqka9fU...

Bovino was forced out of Minnesota because the American people stood firm. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in below-freezing temps to peacefully defend their neighbors & freedoms. We’ll keep fighting. No more deaths at the hands of rogue DHS agents.

CNN: Are you okay? Omar :I've survived war. And I'm definitely going to survive intimidation and whatever these people think they can throw at me because I'm built that way.

Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."

Trump: You can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. It's a very unfortunate thing.

3.5%! 3.5% 3.5% If just 3.5% of Americans peacefully mobilize, history shows it forces big governmental change. Check out my @americanprogress.bsky.social video & report about the power of 3.5%. (1/2) www.americanprogress.org/article/peac...

Maybe small in the grand scheme of things, but I am very annoyed that Dem leadership's fumbles repeatedly force me to acknowledge that that Bill Kristol of all people is right about Dem strategy. Jeffries should make up for his failure last week by going on offense this week.

Also, uh, we have more than 100,000 people registered for this ICE watch training tonight. Largest training of it type in history by a long shot. Please join if you've not be trained yet, and share to friends/fam/neighbors!

The Ellisons (Trump allies) will control TikTok and Skydance/Paramount/CBS News, plus more. TikTok is already allegedly curbing progressive content. This is one way autocracies are built. Read more about how to peacefully bring change via the 3.5% rule. www.americanprogress.org/article/peac...
