So the confrontations, violent apprehensions, and general fear bearing down on communities like Minnesota is only the beginning of the nightmare. Behind the scenes, Orwellian anti-judicial antics thwart lawful recourse. And hidden from sight, non-citizens are tortured for being noncitizens. 29/

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

I can't even.

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

Oh my god

hell awaits

"While the Fake News and Radical Left collude to distract, depress, and divide, they’re simply lying to mask the undeniable truth: America is safer, stronger, richer, and more secure than at any point in decades."

Unionize your workplace so you can call the president a pedophile in the national spotlight and keep your job

one thing the Democrats are kind of sleeping on is the subpoena power of state legislatures combined with the fact that virtually all of the conduct described by the Epstein files occurred in blue states

"He went from bagging groceries 10 years ago to playing the biggest stage this planet has to offer, and did it unwaveringly on his own terms in his native tongue... He is quite literally the embodiment of the American Dream." www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

shorter ring commercial: your spy camera’s auto-search function will only be used to track down lost dogs AND NEVER TO HUNT HUMANS (probably)

Amongst other things, this again highlights the core point about due process. It’s bad enough to be in a “show me your papers” situation, but your precious citizen/non-citizen, “legal”/“illegal” distinctions are meaningless when you can’t prove anything to authorities because they don’t give a shit.

Seahawks defense now just playing offense

FYI: The little boy in Bad Bunny's #SuperBowl halftime show wasn't Liam Ramos as some have said, it was a child actor: Lincoln Fox www.instagram.com/the_lincfox/...

Listen, if Bad Bunny did in fact give his Grammy to Liam, then it is easily the best thing I’ve ever seen on television.

Put it in the Louvre

America is already great.

This is almost word for word what Jack Dorsey said about Elon's purchase of Twitter.

DOGE but for newspapers

Maybe there is some context I'm missing, but the email does not say that.

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

Taking the Northeast Corridor from Trump Station, New York, to Trump Station, Newark, to Trump Station, Philadelphia, then Trump International Airport, and finally Trump Station, DC.

Civil liability ain't enough, folks.

A birthright citizenship amicus.

DHS has been posting Nazi memes for months. None of this is an accident.

My only thought on Trump's grotesque video is that someone should paste a screenshot of it into a Supreme Court merits brief to compel the justices to grapple, however briefly, with what they stand for.

Mamdani announces a new executive order protecting New Yorkers from "abusive immigration enforcement," including requiring ICE to have a judicial warrant to enter NYC property

I just signed an executive order instructing @boston.gov departments to take a range of actions to protect our residents and make clear that we will hold anyone accountable who commits violence, property damage, or any criminal conduct in the City of Boston—including federal officials.

I think it is interesting and overdue that a lot of the mayor's affordability initiatives could have been written by the Pacific Legal Foundation. Not sure this generalizes outside of NYC and San Francisco, though.

I am not a Schumer fan--indeed, I think he should step aside--but credit where it's due. He anticipated that Rs would not agree to a set of *extremely* normie demands, and shutting down DHS over that is good politics.

We are already well on the way there, but Article III courts should not assume that anything that happens before the immigration "courts" provides constitutionally adequate due process. DHS is all but announcing it will not provide neutral decisionmakers.

🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.

Even though a court had granted the habeas petition, Kira Kelley’s “client … was being told that she would be transferred to Sherburne County jail to be detained for the duration of her pending immigration proceedings unless she signed self-deportation papers prior to the transfer going through.”

I expect the federal government will disagree, but I refuse to obey in advance their tortured reading of the Constitution and their disdain for the safety and well-being of our neighbors and our city.

As federal courts have established, on-duty federal employees may be subjected to non-federal legal restrictions, like city laws, if the federal employees’ actions are unnecessary or improper to carrying out their duties.

This is in fact one of the things congressional Dems can do - and they're doing it (and have been on this and other topics). Hard to break through, but this one seems to have a bit and even when it doesn't creating a public record is worthwhile.

One thing this would enable is institutional subscriptions, which would be huge for those of us who mostly consume media via libraries.

whoever figures out a way to bundle independent journalism subscriptions will be a hero

THE COURT: So are you telling the Court that you were brought in brand new, a shiny, brand new penny into this role, and you received no proper orientation or training on what you were supposed to do? MS. LE: I have to say yes to that question, Your Honor.

For those keeping score at home, Texas is allowed to do partisan gerrymanders motivated by race, and California is allowed to do partisan gerrymanders.

"Le said that many DHS officials don’t understand the seriousness of an order from a federal judge. 'It took a long, long, long time, and many orders [to] let them know that if you don’t fix it, I’m going to quit and you’re going to be dragging yourself into court.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

The next question should’ve been: Why don’t you answer her question? It’s outrageous that White House reporters let Trump get away with this and act as if it’s normal.

He literally pulled a "you should smile more" IN RESPONSE TO AN EPSTEIN QUESTION.

Next witness to testify is Marimar Martinez, a U.S. citizen and Chicago resident who was shot five times by CBP agents in October and was later charged with assaulting the agents who shot her. The U.S. Attorney's Office dropped those charges six weeks later.

I have a pet theory that the administration is dealing with its desire not to comply with court orders by hollowing out U.S. Attorney's Office (since AUSAs act as the interface between district courts and agencies) and this and the "DM me if you want to be an ASUA" thing is not pushing me off it.

Corey's joking but all these guys formed their core political commitments at like age 22 and have squandered the opportunity to be curious, independent thinkers and that reflects incredibly poorly on them.
