“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

Tesla driver’s devastating 911 call while stuck in fiery car revealed: ‘Help please … I am going to die’ A 20-year-old Tesla driver pleaded with a 911 operator to save his life as he was trapped in a burning car, according to a wrongful death lawsuit against Tesla filed by his mother on Wednesday.

The number of people currently in ICE custody is now over 73,000, the most in history. Your reminder that ICE is a for-profit industry and the companies profiting are huge donors to the politicians who voted to continue funding ICE.

The bored whims and futuristic fantasies of billionaires now shape how and where you live and work. They are remaking the country in their own decadent and extractive image. Welcome to the American Oligarchy.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Oleksandra Matvichuk, a Ukrainian Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, wrote today: “I have a question. Why has Trump's year of negotiations been the deadliest for civilians in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion? The number of deaths and injuries has increased by 31 % compared to the previous year.

Trump-tied firm Ballard Partners smashed the record for lobbying revenue in 2025. Many of their highest-paying clients were foreign companies that hired them since Trump's return to office, seeking access to the new administration.

There is no bottom with these people

Trump and the Republicans are trying to rig the election. That's not being a "doomer," that's acknowledging reality. Democrats need a coordinated, national response to these coordinated, national attacks. We need an "Elections Czar" My latest solution in @thenation.com

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

Walmart frequently ranks as a top employer of Medicaid and SNAP recipients in analyzed states…

Big Oil "purchased solar and EV patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels, according to the complaint." 😠

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023. The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets. ow.ly/nh8L50Y8kAb

Mike Johnson of Louisiana is a lobbyist for Epstein and Trump’s elite pedophile network. That's how we should see these people. That's whose interests they serve.

ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed. If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.

Philidelphia DA Larry Krasner warns ICE: If an agent commits crimes in Philly, I will charge you. You will be arrested. You will stand trial, and you will be convicted in state or federal court and you will do your time. Donald Trump can't pardon you for a state court conviction.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

This email between Epstein and JD Vance’s tech oligarch benefactor Peter Thiel where they plan to “collapse” society to create investment opportunities for themselves seems… not great (They also met with the UN ambassador to Russia together)

The SAVE Act is for the criminal elite to continue living above the law. We must stop it. action.aclu.org/send-message...

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”

Alito is basically daring Democrats to reform the Court. And yet!

The FDA is targeting companies that sell gender-affirming shapewear.

Despite the ongoing death and suffering in Gaza, it's fallen out of the news. So today, @thenation.com is devoting its full website to stories from Gaza, written by reporters who have been there. Very proud of the magazine today. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Paris prosecutors raid the French offices of Elon Musk’s X as part of an investigation into spreading child pornography and deepfakes.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

Really need everyone to take a good look at how well the richest people in America have done in the last year. The rest of us got higher healthcare and electric bills, food assistance cuts, price hikes, and ICE terrorizing our communities. What are we doing here?

Exclusive: A U.S. official has alleged wrongdoing by U.S. spy chief Tulsi Gabbard in a complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to people familiar with the matter.

California actually has a history of dominance by industries, but now, threatened by a one-time tax on their wealth, the billionaire industry is trying to outright buy the legislature and governor's mansion. From Harold Meyerson: prospect.org/2026/02/02/b...

An Abu Dhabi royal backed a secret $500 million investment in Trump’s crypto company. Months later, U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.

What's the new sex trafficking rape cabal? Thiel's Dimes Square crypto fascist scene. It's being normalized and glamorized by the NYC press, just like Jeffrey Epstein 20 years ago

NEW: Meet the private-equity firm -- and its billionaire immigrant CEO -- making millions off some of ICE's cruelest deportation flights. After a five-month investigation, my story for @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Collins won't push for Noem impeachment even though she's responsible for 9 murders in January alone. Collins is running for re-election. Trump backed down in Maine to protect GOP Senate control. Instead, they'll terrorize "blue" cities. Collins is fine with that. Maine must hold her accountable.

Snitch Jacketing: This is psychological warfare. They plant false information. Maybe they leave a map or a weapon in an activist’s car. They do this specifically to make you think your friend is a police informant. They leverage paranoia to make us eat our own www.gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-tra...

DHS and TX local/state PD are launching tear gas and abducting peaceful community members/volunteer medics near the ICE Children’s Concentration Camp in Dilley, TX. ICE locked down the facility and is actively denying children any medical care. (1/28/26)

The oligarchs funding the police state invested early—over $4 MILLION to elect Trump and GOP allies. Now they’re cashing in: $170 BILLION approved for DHS & ICE. For GEO Group, CoreCivic & CSI Aviation, deportation is big business. #DefundOligarchy

"Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen," Noem told a person who relayed her remarks to Axios."" Anyone paying attentions - it's been President Miler calling the shots. Now the vipers are going after each other. 🐍🐍🐍

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

Minneapolis has seen a stunning 1,646% spike in calls from families who can't pay rent because they're afraid to leave their homes to work. This is state violence manufacturing housing precarity in real time. People should not be facing eviction when their city is under occupation.

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity. They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability. My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.
