🚨"YOU'RE ALL UNDER ARREST" An ominous announcement can be heard on border patrol's radio just moments after their agents THREW Status Coup's reporter Tina-Desiree Berg, and deployed tear and flash bang grenades at the press indiscriminately.⬇️

Now would an excellent time for military leaders that actually stand for the constitution to make their voices heard.

Here's how to identify some crowd control munitions, canisters of which federal agents have left on the ground after deploying them against people in Minnesota. bit.ly/3YWp1jE Graphic by Mark Boswell/The Minnesota Star Tribune

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

Chris Madel — a Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota — has dropped out of the state's gubernatorial race, saying he no longer supports the immigration crackdown taking place in Minneapolis.

Greg Bovino getting pulled out of Minnesota to terrorize another community is not accountability. At all.

Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling on ICE: "They are an undisciplined militia and the leadership is awful...This is not policing and it's not military service. It's something dangerously undefined."

Oh FFS

I have been waiting for this signal from Senator Rand Paul. Senator Paul, Chairman of Senate Homeland Security Committee follows House committee. Sends letters to heads of ICE, CBP, USCIS to testify in public hearing.

Tune in to Deadline White House at 5pm ET, I'll be joining the show for the full hour.

united24media.com/perspectives... Russia is the last successor state survivor of Ghengiz Khan's Mongol Empire. A EurAsian empire founded on the basis of unending conquest. Russia (Muscovy then) was an empire before a national identity formed. Even now Russian nationalism means imperialism.

It can get lower!

"No one knows what it's like to be the bad man, to be the sad man...behind blue eyes. No one knows what it's like to be hated, to be fated...to telling only lies." -- Pete Townsend (The Who, "Behind Blue Eyes") www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I'm sure a few ICE agents suspect this already, but it seems very clear that DJT, Miller & Bovino WANT an ICE agent to get killed. They need their own martyr. There is a reason they are putting them in increasingly volatile situations.

Great. Everything is so fucked that somehow I agree with Greenwald. He nails it here, though.

"This isn’t about immigration enforcement. This is straight-out fascism. ... They are using the mechanism of armed officers with masks who are beating up and killing citizens to create disruption, so they can use more force to eliminate the possibility they could be removed from office."

There MUST be accountability.

"ICE OUT" on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, as seen from my flight leaving MSP airport

Ellison: "The Bondi letter reveals what this is all about. This is not about fraud and it's not even about immigration, and it's certainly not about law enforcement. It's about handing over documents of the state of Minnesota, private information, including voting information, to the federal govt."

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution. If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

“Krasnov” Trump is sure delivering on Putin’s goal of destroying NATO. In the annals of Russian history, there has never been a useful idiot quite as valuable as American turncoat Krasnov.

We see where Apple stands.

Looking back on a 40-year old catastrophe that never should have happened. www.npr.org/2026/01/25/g...

Today we will find out that Mike Johnson knows nothing about the shooting in MN.

"He was carrying--" "Well she shouldn't have been--" "He was planning--" You're telling me this nation, currently ruled by decree and not legislation, now condones vigilante execution too? This year marks the 250th anniversary of the United States. But to hear you talk--America died at 249.

Just to be clear, The Republican Party is responsible for using our tax dollars to MURDER American Citizens

tRUMPSTEIN IS DESTROYING OUR CONSTITUTION!! 1st Amendment: GONE Right to Assemble Freedom of Religion Freedom of Speech Freedom of the Press Right to Petition 2nd Amendment: GONE Right to Keep & Bear Arms 4th Amendment: GONE Unreasonable Searches & Seizures

A little extra love to Minnesota nurses today.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Only political cowards “struggle” to respond...

Only political cowards “struggle” to respond.

This sums it up.

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan. Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

Walz: "We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody is gonna write that children's story about Minnesota."

Trump is either leaving office peacefully, or he's going to be forcefully removed. The U.S. Armed Forces have a choice: Either support the American people and the constitution — or a fascist authoritarian regime that is a facsimile of Hitler's Third Reich.

Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

I have a lot of respect for people who work at the VA and I’m sorry they have to serve during this dickhead’s tenure.

Senator Rosen calling for Noem’s impeachment. More of this, please.

After a 13+ hour travel day with lots of delays/ground stops due to the weather, I *finally* made it to Minneapolis/St. Paul… And this is definitely not Miami weather. Oof. 🥶

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk. Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared. Well, here’s a link: georgetown.box.com/v/Vladeck-IC...

“They are using the mechanism of armed officers with masks who are killing citizens to create disruption so they can use more force to eliminate the possibility they could be removed from office and suffer criminal sanctions for the crimes they are now committing”

The Atlantic finally catching up with what some of us have been saying for *years*

"This is a criminal president and a criminal administration. This is straight-out fascism. This is about ending democracy. These people are destroying the Constitution. And if we say it in words that are any less blunt, we are not telling the truth." www.ms.now/the-weekend-...

Republican politicians who think that Minneapolis is a political problem are missing the point. It is a moral problem. But they are in so deep that they cannot see just how morally bankrupt they have become. They do not understand that we are as revulsed by their complicity as by Trump's cruelty.

Two former presidents felt compelled to comment publicly

Damn proud of Minnesota.
