This week: we execute a U.S. citizen. Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.” It's so transparent what's going on here.

Sometimes the most transformative solutions come from looking at old ideas with fresh eyes. Bricks, sand & stone could play a key role as thermal energy storage — cheap, scalable, and perfect for storing excess wind & solar as heat for industry and district heating. www.euractiv.com/news/bricks-...

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

America really does have a five‑alarm fire in the White House: a president who openly says the only authority that can stop him is “my own morality. My own mind,” while standing on a record of criminal convictions, financial scams, and armed resource grabs abroad

The Department of Justice's effort to gain access to you sensitive personal information continues. DOJ wants this data to be able to suppress the vote and subvert election results next Fall. They are suing 24 states to gain access. My law firm and I are fighting them in court in every one of them.

Dug up the TRO brief and this is a very succinct explanation for the winning argument.

!!!!!!

Prime-working-age employment & unemployment remain benign, but younger workers experience deteriorating outcomes due to a low hiring, low firing environment - enough to boost aggregate unemployment. Am I talking about 2025? No. I'm talking about 2007.

America’s unemployment rate is low. But so is its job growth. That means many Americans are locked out of stable, full-time jobs, and many are struggling.

Well this is cool.

Yeah, this is why piecing the evidence soberly matters. To me, these guys escalated things at every turn, unnecessarily. It is possible they saw a couple of unbothered women and decided to teach them a lesson through fear. The panic they intentionally created then is used to “justify” the shooting.

🔥SERIOUS ABOUT HURTING ICE? READ THIS & ORGANIZE‼️ ICE relies heavily on the private sector to help carry out its Gestapo-like crusade against immigrants and their allies. Without the logistical, financial, and political support of business, its capacity to terrorize our communities would crumble. 👇

Costco, Revlon, J. Crew, Dole, Reebok and more have filed lawsuits in hopes of getting their money back.

Vigil for Renee Good here in front of Wisconsin’s capitol building right now:

If a masked man broke my car window and tried to open my door you be damn sure I’d try to drive away

If the executive branch can unilaterally cut off federal funding to specific states the union has already been dissolved.

Today marks 15 years since Gabby Giffords was shot at a constituent meeting, in an attack that killed 6 and wounded 13. I am proud to cosponsor a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to honor the victims and their families today, and recommit to ending gun and political violence.

Yes it is. Can’t put that back in the bottle.

jonathan ross “feared for his life” yet calmly filmed the entire interaction & never set his phone down, even when murdering renee good

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

🚨BREAKING: A federal court blocked core provisions of President Donald Trump’s anti-voting executive order Friday, ruling that the president had no authority to impose new election rules that threatened to disenfranchise voters and override state law. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Time is running out for the @wnba.com to pay the players what they owe them. Their contract expires TONIGHT. Without the players, there is no WNBA — and fair pay is LONG overdue. America’s unions stand in solidarity with the WNBPA players in this fight ✊

Breaking news: The Washington National Opera announced plans to leave its longtime home at the Kennedy Center, a move following reports of declining ticket sales and upheaval since President Trump’s takeover.

Tim Miller from the Bulwark: “I will not be fucking gaslit by these people. I will not tone down the rhetoric. Jonathan Ross murdered her. She talked to him calmly, said dude I’m not mad. This is fucking insane. This is not a tough call. He orphaned her child and called her a fucking bitch after..."

Today l took a seller to sign closing documents for a closing on their home. They weren't my client but I did it as a favor for a friend. Miguel was from Honderous, been here 20 years and has proper documentation. But he is terrified to leave his home. Has 2 young kids at home with his wife.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

One group flying under the radar in today’s jobs day chatter? Indigenous women. Indigenous women, including American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) & Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander women (NHPI), are not part of the monthly #JobsData release due to a lack of investment. #JobsDay (1/8)

CBPP’s @gbenga-ajilore.bsky.social breaks down the latest economic data from the December #JobsReport, zooming in on how tariffs have impacted jobs in the manufacturing sector.

i'm no strategist but i feel like there's room here for "zero the ice budget and tax refund for middle class america"

NEW: In the wake of Renee Nicole Good's killing, and as part of the Permanent Subcmte on Investigations' ongoing inquiry into DHS use of excessive force against US citizens, Sen. Blumenthal sent a letter to Secretary Noem demanding information on ICE training policies by Jan 23.

Good morning, and welcome to what is expected to be the first opinion day of the 2025-26 term. Our live blog will open in about 30 minutes.

When you grow in LA, you see a lot of car chases on tv. And it becomes fairly obvious that CHP and LAPD training never advises cops to try to get a person they want to arrest out of their car by rocking up to the driver’s side and trying to rip the door open. They go to extreme lengths to avoid it.

NEW: The one and only SCOTUS opinion today is Bowe v. U.S., a habeas case. The 5-4 decision by Sotomayor vacates the Eleventh Circuit's decision against Michael Bowe and allows his challenge to continue. Gorsuch wrote the dissent, w Thomas, Alito, & Barrett. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Good read by @amandamarcotte.bsky.social via Salon: "ICE is not the victim" | www.salon.com/2026/01/09/i...

These sociopathic thugs are essentially citing an imaginary "contempt of cop" statute that they're just itching to enforce through summary justice.

This is in my hometown. ICE has been out in force in Washington County, Oregon (suburb of Portland) for months now - tearing apart families and harassing those who want to document their lawlessness.

Just saw a headline saying “ICE is the largest law enforcement agency in the US” and … Maybe in terms of the 4-yr budget it got in the OBBB. But even its likely-unachievable goal of hiring 10,000 more cops would leave it at ~1/3 the ABSOLUTE size of the NYPD. And per capita? Minuscule.
