WATCH: “Renee Good was not a domestic terrorist. No one acting in good faith actually believes that, no matter what some of our Trump officials say at press conferences,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social.

“The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel. Our only recourse is to pray for his conversion of heart.”

Expect to see a surge of proud ignorance and proplawganda about what you can say about ICE agent Jonathan Ross, identified by local media as the person who shot and killed Renee Good. In particular, expect a repeat of Rittenhouse-era “accusing him of murder is defamation” rhetoric. It’s not. /1

Seems as if the next administration will have to seize an incredible amount of stolen wealth from Trump’s children. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/w...

In a democracy, law enforcement derives its authority not from weapons or uniforms, but from adherence to the law, internal discipline, and the confidence of the public it serves. When accountability disappears, legitimacy collapses. open.substack.com/pub/alexande...

The message is pretty simple. U.S. cities are a war zone, and any false move can mean your death. "Top Trump officials are saying emphatically that this is exactly how it should be and I don't think that will stand," @joshtpm.bsky.social writes. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/a-tur...

Customs and Border Protection shot two people in Portland, Oregon, just hours after JD Vance said this:

There’s a non-zero possibility that this sort of epistemic closure is a big piece of the male crisis in America.

We have the turnout data now from the 2025 election in PA that saw the Dems sweep the statewide judicial races, as well as downballot races. Dem turnout swamped a depressed GOP base. If I were GOPs, I'd be more than a little worried about the upcoming midterms.

Greg Bovino, who is CBP, not ICE, has been the Where's Waldo of abusive immigration enforcement from the very start. He was present in MN. His dudes did the shooting in OR. He reports to Stephen Miller, the guy who ordered up murderboats. www.emptywheel.net/2026/01/07/t...

In response to this @zeteo.com reporting, the trump White House sends us this comment, attributed to spokeswoman Abigail Jackson: "You have no concept of the law and no idea what you’re talking about." Ok! Thx 🫶

The world’s richest man™️ is a straight up 1488 Nazi and white supremacist. Today he wanted to let us all know it without the Nazi salute.

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

Protests mounting against ICE in various parts of D.C. tonight. In the middle of the U Street corridor, occupying the intersection with 14th Street: “Remember Renee Good,” one of the many signs here reads.

After viewing the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota- he then proceeds to lie about EVERYTHING in it, aside from the fact that it is, indeed, "a horrible thing to watch." #25thAmendmentNOW

Yet another reason why every major media outlet that reported "grok apologized and promised to put in place new safeguards" was so full of shit (beyond the fact that Grok can't apologize and was just responding to a user prompt, Elon has made it clear: he wants X to be the deepfake abuse creator)

Watching Trump go after Hawley, of all people, is hilarious. Hawley is so desperate to be the next Trump.

NEW: Four days before oral arguments, Justice Sam "stock trader" Alito decides he "will not continue to participate" in a case involving oil companies. This means that he did participate in certiorari stage proceedings, despite owning relevant stocks.

“More than two weeks past that deadline, the DOJ has released less than 1% of its Epstein documents and it will continue to be in violation of the law for the foreseeable future, according to a new letter the department sent a New York-based federal judge Monday.”

Callenson had the courage and conviction to stay with the scene and keep filming. Not to run away, but instead to follow the scene. To continue documenting what was unfolding. I'd like to think I'd have done the same. I'm not sure at all that I would have. daringfireball.net/2026/01/le...

The guy known for stiffing his contractors, stealing from charities, cheating on his wives, lying pathologically, trying to steal an election, trying to blackmail foreign leaders, and proudly sexually assaulting women? That morality?

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

First, they said it was about stopping illegal drugs. Now, they say it is about starting oil deliveries to the U.S. In order to create a presidential slush fund. Same corrupt regime in Venezuela. And at home.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Ellison: "State authorities can investigate anyway. We don't need their authority. It's at least arguable that there's a violation of MN statues here. All of them depend on an investigation though. And the federal govt can't stop MN from doing it's own, but I would hope it wouldn't come to that."

MAGA can obfuscate all they want, but here's the bottom line: Their broader project of flooding our cities with armed government militias and diverting resources into mass ethnic purification makes such shootings far more likely. Feature, not bug. Exchange on this: newrepublic.com/article/2050...

at least they're finally peeling off a couple of moderates. gotta keep this up, guys. he's not going to get saner and more reasonable as his term wears on.

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation). Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

Everyone should watch this timeline using multiple videos. Not only do these ICE wannabe cowboys shoot an unarmed woman, they also keep a man who identifies himself as a doctor from approaching the vehicle. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

A government employee killed an innocent woman yesterday—and the govt says he was “just doing his job.” WTAF. That’s a blatantly illegal order. But not all illegal orders are obvious. In this chaos, it can be hard to stop and think. So—what are your red lines? When would you refuse?

Last night, at the corner where an ICE agent murdered Renee Good, thousands of Minnesotans gathered in the frigid dark to protest her killing. In the face of this administration’s lawless violence, solidarity is the answer. They want to mold America to their cruelty. We refuse.

A thing that makes all this extra satanic (as an atheist I’m using that word to describe things a lot more nowadays) is they couldn’t just say it was justified & the radical left is at fault. They HAD to smear her as a domestic terrorist while her young child didn’t even know mommy had been killed

This @nytimes.com video of yesterday's shooting -- which synchronizes and narrates the different clips we've all seen online -- is the best analysis I've seen www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...
