Jamie Raskin: “I just exercised my right as a Member of Congress to conduct an unannounced oversight visit of the ICE field facility…disgraceful. 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder… The room set aside for dangerous criminals and violent offenders was empty.”

sorry i missed the virtual meeting on discord, liz. i got hit with the id verification that happens when the app detects youre young

Every day is #WhiskersWednesday for me!

Me, to my wife: I wish we need not have had the whole troop’s Girl Scout cookies at our house. My wife: So do I, and so do all who live to see such cookies. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the cookies that are given us.

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

in real terms, #7 would give states leverage to put an end to surges, #8 would give states the ability to outright stop construction of new detention facilities, #1 and #6 would slow the rate at which DHS could train and deploy officers, #2 and #10 would likely shrink the pool of recruits

MAGA is a movement of America haters who despise this country and are conspiring to destroy it

this is a wicked man who knows he is being wicked and does it anyway

They have to renovate the Kennedy Center because trump had diarrhea there and they can’t get the dookie smell out

Is it bad if democrats are winning in places you only hear about in mountain goats songs

There's something really sad about Republicans beginning to act like moral human beings once they know they are leaving the party. It shows they've always known they were doing evil, and chose to do it anyways. Now they simply don't have the option to choose evil that will benefit them personally.

"It may take time to prove you're right, but you have to stick to it." - Fred Korematsu Jailed for refusing to abide by FDR's Exec Order 9066, he took his case against internment all the way to the Supreme Court - and lost. Remember him on Korematsu Day, January 30th. 1/

Such mistreatment would be further evidence of the inhumane conditions at the Baltimore Holding Facility — something I have repeatedly called them out on. We will continue investigating & update when we know more. [2/2]

I got accustomed to trumps poor health but when you step back it’s wild that the attention hog, reality tv president is so absent from his 2nd term. He’s not on tv constantly, he’s not driving the news cycle except for sporadic tantrums on NATO. absent from his own signature policy on immigration

Man shot by federal agents has died, police chief says www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

we got the cats a scratcher that looks like a laptop and it was worth it for this picture alone

Fun Fact: If you've ever seen one of our videos of something on fire in the lab (Christmas trees, turkey fryers, etc.), Andy was the guy in charge of all the people who put those demos together. They were run like the Navy because, before his time at CPSC, Andy spent 10 years working on nuke subs.

Have seen many variations of this & broadly agree—but the part that struck me in the moment wasn’t “this is a microcosm for how America sucks” — it was “this is a microcosm for trying to behave democratically & respectfully of one another in a complex, evolving situation with things we can't know.”

complete and total Gary Larson vindication

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Senator kyrsten sinema???

Watch my address on the ongoing federal presence in Minnesota: youtu.be/fGTsYXBWQgU

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

"Against the demands and best aspirations of civilization – western or any kind – they tell us the human being is a creature that yearns for nothing more than blood and soil, which is, of course, just mud." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This really is an instructive clip, bc the other thing it illustrates is how bad faith questions aren't meant to be questions If hannity had somebody as a guest on his program, he'd ask these as an attack, and then he wouldn't really let them answer. He'd talk over them or keep pushing

"Well what do *you* think we should do with people who are here illegally" "I think they have a right to be here" "Uh... what instrument are you playing"

Unsurprisingly a random protester has much better framing than nearly all politicians. And handles the bad faith questions easily

what you clearly see, CLEARLY, is a driver who is spooked by the agents grabbing her door, takes steps to drive away, and is immediately shot as moves her vehicle *away* from the agents.
