NEW: "The rule of law be damned." This opinion by Judge Fred Biery ordering the release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos is one of the most incendiary judicial takes on the Trump administration I've seen. Read the full document and our story here: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/u...

Nothing has changed and these masked, armed federal paramilitaries are just as aggressive and lawless as ever.

“If (Taylor Rehmet) were to lose by six points, that’d be worth talking about,” one political expert told me ahead of last night's race. “And if Rehmet were to win? You’d say, ‘Holy shit.’” Rehmet won by 14 points.

this bike ride was both a beautiful display of defiant solidarity, and a promise to the agents still occupying our city that they are about to be absolutely swarmed by ICE Watch on bike patrol.

Um... so today I was on @cbsmornings.bsky.social. 🤯 I talked to Jericka Duncan about why Black women matter to our economy. CBS called me a "Harvard Economist" (bruh). And Gayle King read my book, #TheDoubleTax. I'm in disbelief. Here's a clip from our segment. #blacksky #news #jobs

BREAKING: Texas Democrat Taylor Rehmet just won a *massive* landslide to flip a deep-red Senate district. He's up by 14 points in a Trump+17 seat—an overperformance of more than 30 points. How did he do it? Here's our full writeup:

This is a GREAT time to primary your “centrist” rep from the left in blue districts.

A political earthquake proves that Texas Republicans are bleeding ground.

You know who really ought to pay attention the result in TX Sen 9? Democratic leadership in Congress.

Thought we should check in on the total list of legislative flips during Trump 2.0. The tally so far (including tonight): Democrats: 26 flips Republicans: 0 flips

Hey, Texas! Very, very important. Please spread the word!

JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate. Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards. With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43. Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Breaking: Democrat Taylor Rehmet wins solidly red Texas Senate seat in stunning special election upset.

I have eaten the gerrymanders that were in the state election board and which you were probably saving for the midterms Forgive me they were delicious so risky and so conservative

30 point swing you say?

And it’s a wrap in SD-9. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Get in, losers, we’re flipping Texas.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Wow, buckle up. The early vote just came in Tarrant County, and Democrat Taylor Rehmet is up 56% to 44% in the special election for a Texas state Senate seat. This is a seat that went for Trump by 17%. This would be a huge upset. This is already 45K votes.

Polls have just closed in Texas, which is hosting two special elections (yes, on a Saturday!): • The all-Dem runoff for #TX18, which has been vacant almost a year • The D vs. R runoff in #SD09, which the GOP is worried about losing even though Trump carried it 58-41 Our Big Board -->

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

Protection isn’t the only way that gendered narratives mobilize violence. What we are seeing in Minnesota is also about punishment. From our colleagues at @msmagazine.com:
