I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

I would hate to see Trump get enraged at Davos. That wouldn’t be good for his health. I do hope no one says anything to upset him.

This is the best description of the Trump Administration I have ever seen.

Trump is the assisted living facility resident no one wants to sit with at lunch because he smells bad, won’t stop talking nonsense, and makes fun of other residents.

2026 has been an awful year. So glad it is almost over.

“as the outrages pile up, as the silence persists..small acts of destruction &wretchedness begin to..threaten..the principles &freedoms upon which the whole system rests. Eventually, silence becomes not a choice but a requirement, &by then it is too late to speak.” www.chronicle.com/article/wher...

Is the Trump Administration filled with drug abusers? The frantic activity - threatening/attacking Greenland, Venezuela, Iran, Minnesota, Powell, all at once - seems frenzied and off the wall.

Detailed and horrifying account by a US citizen detained by ICE in Minnesota. This federal operation is brutal, illegal, and incompetent. All involved must be held accountable under the law.

If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. (James Madison)

The official White House website is spewing rank lies about January 6, 2021.

The US military will be hard pressed to distract the public from all the things Trump desperately needs us to forget in the coming months. It is very mighty but it does have limits.

I’m currently at the Washington Monument Toyota Dealership. Come see our end-of-year deals! They wont last long!

I miss the rule of law.

NEW: We got access to Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo inbox — more than 18,000 emails. It shows Epstein’s world in his own words: an unfiltered look at how his operation worked, who enabled it, and how Ghislaine Maxwell stayed at the center of it all.

My God, this is so horrific. The man in charge of our nation’s health literally wants many of us to die.

Look at the bright side: Now there is still a chance they both go at the same time in a fiery plane crash.

Sad news:

I refuse to get my hopes up.

"If you don’t like my tone, it’s called 'tough love,' America. You need to change yourself or this will keep happening, and it will get worse."

I have to admit, I never foresaw my own government actively pursuing policies that will clearly kill so many Americans. This is a death cult.

"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."

"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any." . ~Alice Walker

DC is a gritty hellscape.

Look, I find it really annoying and inconvenient, too, but at some point we are going to have to get up off the floor and protest in numbers too big to ignore.

More people need to know about the abuses happening to travelers, including US citizens, at ports of entry. This is an outrage, and is more evidence that we are living in very dangerous times.

Brazilian president: "I'd like to say something to the American people; If Trump was Brazilian and did what he did at the Capitol, he'd be on trial in Brazil for violating the Constitution. He would be arrested if he had done that." (ht: @ronxyz.bsky.social)

I always assumed that Senators, Congressional Reps, and Supreme Court justices were enthralled by their own power. Turns out I was wrong: They eagerly hand all their power to a corrupt, vengeful simpleton of a president. God help us all.

😲 This explains SO MUCH: 👉 Darren Beattie – the man behind the State Department purge – is married to a Russian woman with close family ties to Vladimir Putin 🇷🇺 Yes, really. newrepublic.com/post/196029/...

Who in their right mind can celebrate the 4th of July this year? It rings very hollow given the current state of our nation. Normally I would walk to a good spot to watch the fireworks in DC, but this year my heart just wasn’t in it.

Abolish ICE.

This is disgusting.

I really don’t see how the US can host international sports events like the FIFA World Cup or the Summer Olympics under current conditions. This isn’t tenable.

The coming years are going to require more courage from us than we can imagine. I hope we rise to the occasion.

The cordyceps fungus has endorsed Cuomo.

In retrospect, I should have known when Ford pardoned Nixon that he would not be the worst US president in my lifetime.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

If Kilmer Abrego Garcia was the worst person in the world, which he is definitely not, I still would advocate for his due process rights. Due process is a fundamental right in the US; even Sebastian Gorka should have it.

I suggest everyone become very, very familiar with this piece by law Professor @david.noll.org. I suspect you will be referring to it often. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/if-t...

We need to prepare for what is already here and what is coming. Here is a very helpful thread.

My fellow Americans: We do not have much time to get our shit together.

Is this our government of the people, for the people, and by the people? The whole world is watching, and so are our children. There should be millions in the streets.

This thread lays it out. It is a lot.

Had he been a bigot but not also a narcissist, it would have been enough. (1)

This evil government is twisting language to their depraved ends. Deporting now means condemning to indefinite imprisonment somewhere outside the US.

Hello Sunday ☀️

Murphy: "The vast majority of Republicans, their number one priority is Trump seizing power, and the Trump family and the MAGA universe holding power forever ... with the exception of maybe 20 Republicans in the Senate, the GOP inside Congress is done with democracy."

2/ This week you will read many confused economists and political pundits who won’t understand how the tariffs make economic sense. That’s because they don’t. They aren’t designed as economic policy. The tariffs are simply a new, super dangerous political tool.

What fun America is right now. We've a bunch of insipid lunatics running around the building knocking down load-bearing walls because it'll "open up the space" and now we're all just sitting here waiting for the fucking building to collapse on us.
