In a win for voters, a Florida court dismissed an anti-voting lawsuit challenging some of the Census' methods for estimating the population, a critical process that determines U.S. House votes. The case was part of a broader effort to increase GOP representation by changing population count.

Gosh. What a surprise. www.socialmediatoday.com/news/x-award...

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

Not great. bsky.app/profile/eric...

If you won’t say this, you should not hold public office

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic

There are drawdowns. And then there’s Melania Coin.

Tell her you think Trumpcoin can still recover

Johnny Carson once said the fastest measurable unit of time is that which elapses between when a light turns green in NY and someone honks their horn. But the speed with which Trump's name will be torn off his monuments to himself when he's gone will be greater. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Can't forget that Maduro is a close Putin ally and this all could be a Russia-Witkoff-Kushner-Maduro ratfuc-ing operation in the US; and Maduro allowed he/his wife to be seized for a cut of the oil proceeds, to keep his party in power, and an eventual Trump pardon (like former Honduran President).

Yes. The folks who study election rumors and conspiracy theories are worried that a forced (and false) confession by Maduro (of 2020 election fraud) is a real possibility, and we’ve already seen some (wink, wink) foreshadowing of such a move.

here's more on what a federal immigration raid looks like to a 2-year-old girl. the latest in our @ms.now series Cities Under Siege. reported with @kaybguerrero.bsky.social. www.ms.now/news/ice-chi...

EXCLUSIVE: on Jan 22 we rolled up on a raid happening in South Minneapolis. we had no idea who they were taking. turns out it was a *two year old girl* and her dad on the way back from buying fruit. he had no criminal record. this is their story. youtu.be/yaeXlxJOAXU?...

Not one of these ass-munches can produce evidence of widespread voter fraud. They can't and won't because most of the (rare) cases are Republican voters.

BREAKING: Over 680 members of the National Academy of Sciences, Medicine, and Engineering have endorsed articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. (1/2 🧵)

Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began. Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

A fair & reasonable way to address @odnigov.bsky.social's one sided criticisms is to have @wbaidlaw.bsky.social's client meet w/ Congress & provide greater details abt serious concerns. There is nothing partisan or politicized abt lawful whistleblower process so long as truth is ultimate objective

Our whistleblower client is willing to speak, w/appropriate protections, w/Gang of Eight & cleared staffs to provide addt'l details about complaint & address credibility & concerns of politicization, as well as answer questions @odnigov.bsky.social is refusing to address. We all want the truth.

Trump mocks the idea of praying during a meal at the National Prayer Breakfast: “Mike Johnson is a very religious person... He’ll say to me sometimes at lunch, ‘Sir, may we pray?’ I say, ‘Excuse me?’ You know, we’re having lunch.”

So much for Trump/Miller's "drawdown" narrative ... "ICE is going to continue to do their job"

Lol

This is precisely what happened to the transcript of the Zelensky call that led to Trump’s first impeachment. They stashed it in a code-word classified system for political reasons.

So weird how this keeps happening. www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026...

The SAVE act is bad.

Immigration agents have shot a dozen people since Sept--yet police are often skipping any investigation. After agents near Chicago killed a man, an officer asked if chief who would investigate. The answer: “You’re not going to investigate a federal officer”

A passenger aircraft, the An‑28, armed with miniguns, is shooting down russian "Shahed" drones over Ukraine - French TV channel TF1. The crew of the plane,reportedly made up of civilian volunteers, has already destroyed around 150 drones.

Democrats say Republicans have set a precedent with subpoenas of an ex-president and first lady. "We will follow it ... Donald Trump, all of his kids. Everybody," Rep. Maxwell Frost said.

The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago The unthinkable comes to Pa. coal country. My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

I’m betting Comer will suddenly lose interest in this hearing.

Wait! The public face of nationwide immigration enforcement, Gregory Bovino, said in a newly discovered email that his boss wasn’t the head of CBP. He reported to Corey Lewandowski instead. He’s a political operative with zero law-enforcement background calling the shots on immigration enforcement.

American scientists have historically been leaders in the collection and analysis of data on climate change. Trump is now trying to gag anyone reporting data that confirms climate change. www.economist.com/science-and-...

I think you know the answer. The “negotiations” have been an excuse to hold back necessary equipment and aid.

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

The world factbook was an invaluable resource in asylum petitions—a place where the federal government acknowledged in writing that, for example, Tibetans face systematic repression in China. I don’t like to have it vanish.

Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963. The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"

But evidently there was one actual Christian in attendance...

After 6am this morning in Whittier, Minneapolis—FOUR BLOCKS from where Pretti was murdered. 18 agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) markings smashed an apartment window, ran in, and came out with one man.

A Manhattan judge has said a $10 million workplace harassment claim in which Rudy Giuliani stands accused of "demanding" sex from an employee will move forward to discovery.

Trump's shitcoin now trading at its lowest level ever. Fell off a cliff in the last hour. Could be the broader crypto crash happening or reaction to his prayer breakfast remarks. It is my insider trading indicator Trump has had a health issue so...

🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.

He’s got us there. The death of someone who had broken into the Capitol to overturn an election in an attack that involved mass violence against police as that person was trying to break into the Speaker’s chambers justifies the summary execution of any and all political dissidents. It’s obvious!
