In an opinion dismissing Trump's attempt to get an unredacted copy of Oregon's complete voter registration list, a federal judge cites Bondi's extortion letter to Gov. Walz as support for denying the government a presumption of regularity storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

The GOP’s new Voter Suppression bill, the so-called “SAVE Act,” would disenfranchise many of the 69 million women who took their husbands’ last names, as explained in my summary. It proposes *no penalties* for erroneous voter purges but potential *prison time* for erroneous registrations. WTF?! 1/

A reminder that Trump posted an AI video of federal agents tackling Obama in the Oval Office while he watches and YMCA plays.

i'm a frequent nyt critic, but they're finding some footing

Huh, they actually deleted it.

The open bigotry of the federal social media operation has a long track record, and is ongoing

Just so we're clear, the President's mass-deportation campaign is rooted in the same naked racism against Latinos

The wildly racist clip of the Obamas is still up. It comes at the end of an election-conspiracy short about Dominion and Smartmatic machines. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

Here's @rickhasen.bsky.social detailing the scenario in which Trump uses search warrant to seize ballot boxes in a contested 2026 locale. This is more worrisome than ICE at the polls. Hasen also suggests ways to act against this now. It's harrowing stuff: newrepublic.com/article/2062...

I am speechless. "The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument. Among the anticipated changes? No longer calling his murderer a 'racist.'" 🗃️ mississippitoday.org/2026/02/05/m...

One reason Minneapolis remains in the world's eye is we have one of the most robust & independent media ecosystems remaining in the country. You all need this...and more! @mprnews.org @startribune.com @sahanjournal.bsky.social @minnesotareformer.com @minnpost.bsky.social @racketmn.com etc.

My god, her testimony. It’s just infuriating. youtu.be/E5-m5u0qzDU?...

Cam Thomas getting waived is crazy. That guy is exhibit #1 for why the NBA needs expansion teams. He'd be the perfect high scoring, no defense centerpiece for the Las Vegas Roadrunners or whatever

The Department of Homeland Security is using administrative subpoenas, a secretive tool issued without a judge's signature, to go after people lawfully reporting ICE activity or criticizing DHS policies. This is a direct attack on our First Amendment rights and we're fighting back.

Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships. We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/b...

After attempting to eliminate mail-in ballots, demanding voter rolls in Democratic cities, raiding election centers, and fighting and failing to pass the SAVE Act, the authoritarians in power are being direct about their end game with ICE.

Putin's favorite testing out voting machines seems like a bad deal

Porziņģis is like a perfect Nellieball throwback. An interesting rental. Hope JK gets a square deal in ATL

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

No more tear gas for ICE in Portland? A federal judge calls out the "chilling" abuse of protesters and journalists, and warns that our democracy is at a "crossroads."

I hear Jeff Bezos is in the news today... Anyhow, here are several intimate dinner-party lists he appears on with Jeffrey Epstein www.justice.gov/epstein/file... www.justice.gov/epstein/file... www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

This is how Sen. Ron Wyden clues the public into activity that he finds extremely alarming. He does a press release about a letter he sent to the director of the CIA that basically says, 'I want to make sure you saw the classified letter I sent early today.' www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

bezos name pops up with charlie rose and woody www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

What Democrats want :: What Chuck Schumer says Democrats want

In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

BREAKING: Judge Ana Reyes, in DC, issues a stay of DHS Sec. Noem’s decision to end Haiti’s temporary protected status (TPS) designation, a decision that was to go into effect on Tuesday and could have ended legal status for up to 350,000 people overnight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Yet another reminder that Homeland Security routinely lies as a matter of policy after its violent clashes with immigrants, protesters and observers. it’s the Department of Homegrown Impunity.

The day the feds tear gassed little kids. My video diary from an uplifting 🚲 protest that ended in flashbangs and ICE brutality

Remember when the U.S. was a free country that athletes wanted to defect to, rather than a horrorshow state run by an authoritarian regime with masked secret police goons who pose a threat to **checks notes** Canadians

As a former CSAM federal prosecutor, this is beyond incompetence. It is criminal. Making CSAM publicly available is a crime, even if it is done by federal prosecutors or law enforcement officers and even if it is done negligently. It is as close to a STRICT LIABILITY crime as the law allows.

if Bondi published Epstein's CSAM on the DOJ website... impeachment is not strong enough

I spoke with Annie Farmer, one of the Epstein survivors who has advocated for transparency. She was distressed by the failed redactions: “It’s hard to imagine a more egregious way of not protecting victims than having full nude images of them available for the world to download”

I remember how terrifying & painful it was to get tear gassed for the first time and I’m so angry that a bunch of people had to experience that yesterday. I have seen a lot of horrible shit in my life, but watching a bunch of kids struggle through the pain of being tear gassed is high on the list.

Anne Frank died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen

Once again, proof positive that it's very easy to sell a $20 bill for $10 dollars. Or to put it another way, turn a $35 million marketing budget into a $7 million box office weekend. (The second highest marketing spend on a documentary in the last decade was about $3 million).

ProPublica identifies Pretti's killers

🤬

The difference in response is because many of us were out there with our fellow Portlanders getting teargassed in 2020. We saw what federal occupation looks like. We also saw some of our elected leaders fail to rise to the moment. We’re not going to make the same mistake.

Some jawdropping CBP crime statistics here...

we live in an age where the federal government will tear gas little kids

XBox Live wouldn't take his money.

He’s just describing The American Dream but you’re supposed to hate it for some reason

liam and his dad are home! and someone please get rep. castro a coat!

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
