WARREN: This should be an easy one. Can you commit that Trump's Fed nominee will not be sued or investigated by the DOJ if he does not cut interest rates like Trump wants? BESSENT: That's up to the president W: You can't say he won't be criminally investigated? That's supposed to be the soft ball!

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed." A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends. Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

The government has attempted to conflate civil disobedience with terrorism to target political opponents several times throughout U.S. history. Thomas Brzozowski looks at the lessons that can be learned from these cases to protect democratic dissent.

These findings add a new layer to this piece I reported: www.importantcontext.news/p/experts-wa...

Khanna: "I was in Mpls. 3rd & 4th generation Minnesotans were talking about tyranny. They were talking about ICE following them to church. It's a violation of the 1st, 2nd, & 4th Amendments. I can't in good conscience vote to give more money to ICE agents as they're violating constitutional rights"

SHABOOZEY: “Immigrants built this country.”

It’s NOT just Liam! Marshall Project: 3,800 children including 20 infants, were held by ICE in 2025 children held longer than the 20-day limit, some held for months reports of worsening mental - physical health facility allegations of poor medical care, inadequate food, unsanitary conditions

Liam gave them a face. Now give them their freedom as well. ALL of them.

Release ALL the kidnapped children @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats-judiciary.house.gov @senategop.govpeeps.us @housegop.bsky.social

Liam was not alone! Other kids are still in ICE detentions. They should all be FREED. No kid should be separated from their parents. Free the parents also. bsky.app/profile/madg...

We don't let up until all the families in concentration camps are free.

RELEASE ALL THE CHILDREN!!

Set these children and parents free.

Liam made people look. Now don’t look away. We still have children in ICE custody eating bad food, drinking questionable water, living in filthy conditions, and carrying a lifetime of trauma they shouldn’t have to survive. #FreeTheChildren

We can all see with our own eyes what ICE is doing to our neighbors. It’s time for the Senate to step up and do the right thing. Stop this violence.

Why is Dem leadership not on the ground in MN? If the answer is “polls show Trump’s disapproval is only -15 on deportations, but -25 on prices,” thats a Bad Use Of Polling and a complete failure in their capacity as leaders to lead public opinion and fight for democracy and the rule of law

“Join us in sending a message to all our elected officials that no agency should have license to arbitrarily arrest and detain people without due process. ...In our varied and united faith traditions, love of neighbor is not optional.” -Bishop Mariann Budde, Episcopal bishop of Washington

One day, if we are lucky, the erasure of American history will itself be remembered as a shameful chapter in American history

#MLKDAY GOOD MORNING "SOMEWHERE I READ" "Of the FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY " "Of the FREEDOM OF SPEECH Of the FREEDOM OF PRESS "SOMEWHERE I READ THAT THE GREATNESS OF AMERICA IS THE RIGHT TO PROTEST FOR RIGHTS " How We long for Dr.King today Honor This Great Man Good Trouble Listen please

Native Americans protested in Minneapolis today after the ICE abducted four Oglala Sioux Tribal Members. Three of them are still missing. (1/17|26)

Aliya Rahman told ICE she was disabled She told them she was on her way to a doctor appt They broke her window, cut her seatbelt & dragged her away like an animal She was headed to the Traumatic Brain Injury Center when they grabbed her. She was denied access to a doctor & tossed in detention

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

ICE agents are stalking the streets of Minneapolis demanding that random brown people provide proof of citizenship. We good with that, America? I thought we learned this lesson back in World War II, but I guess not.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court is going to hear West Virginia's effort to ban the state's only transgender athlete, 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson. Win or lose, I need your help making sure Becky knows she's a hero for standing up for what's right

This has been going on for months - note that she discusses it happening not only to her, but also to her son and uncle, apparently in separate incidents.

Lmao apparently people near me are freaking out about a non binary teacher And I am watching the entire community come together to dunk on the much smaller group of transphobic dipshits and it is DELICIOUS The local newspaper even snarkily wrote about them and I am CRYING

Good morning Good afternoon OR Good evening

“Emerson does not have a mother today because one of you murdered a woman in cold blood yesterday.”

HAYES: “2 female reporters asking obviously totally newsworthy Q’s — one gets called ‘PIGGY’ the other gets called ‘INSUBORDINATE’ because she didn’t bow and scrape to the Saudi King.”

The Department of Education is proposing a definition that could strip nurse practitioners and CRNAs of “professional degree” status. Chiropractors keep it. Nurses risk losing it. And that change would fall hardest on women in healthcare. This is political and it is sexist.

NEW: Women Voters Sue Kristi Noem New voting rights lawsuit by the League of Women Voters comes as hundreds of sexual assault allegations against ICE and Border Patrol agents remain largely uninvestigated. migrantinsider.com/p/women-vote...

Reporters should gang up and keep repeating the very same question over and over and over again .... Corner the fat m'fkr!

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.

Schumer & Jeffries should have the integrity to resign from their positions in leadership. They've failed, badly. Either they cannot control their caucuses or they're lying & secretly pushed this vote through behind the scenes. Either way, their betrayal of the American people is indefensible.

Millions of Democratic voters on Tuesday: Fight these guys. Fight them. Senate Democrats: We heard you loud and clear and we will give in

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Important lesson Post 2024 polls show Harris campaigning with Cheney decreased enthusiasm by 7% Post 2025 polls show Mamdani running as unapologetic progressive earned him 9% of MAGA 2024 voters Corporate Dems: You dont flip votes by compromising your values—but by unapologetically embracing them

Japan is facing a population crisis—so Tokyo, its largest city, will try to solve the problem with something new: a four-day workweek. trib.al/qcH4uvL

The Great Gatsby was a cautionary tale by Fitzgerald

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website. Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

2000s Dems found that supporting the Iraq war wasn’t the key to winning elections. Voters who wanted that backed Bush. 2010s Dems found that running away from Obama didn’t yield wins. Voters who wanted that went GOP. 2020s Dems will find that Bigotry Lite isn’t the key to winning elections either.

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified. So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life. Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

In other news pissing me smooth off on a Wednesday, people across the country won’t have SNAP benefits next month but the sitting President is demanding to be paid $230 Million.
