There are others — she signed 10 EOs already — but I was looking for the immigration one today. More about today from the VP:

Getty photographer was tackled by about 50 agents while covering Whipple. He threw his camera at another photographer to prevent it from being confiscated. 📸: Pierre Lavie

I’m physically following them around using my government name telling them to arrest me and they haven’t bothered to arrest me. Also half the US Attorney’s office here in MN just resigned! They do not have a case and they do not have manpower, but their only tool is trying to be menacing.

About the ICE agent who fatally shot a man on New Year’s Eve while off-duty: A court document "says the ICE agent allegedly whipped his sons with a belt, made homophobic slurs and racist remarks about Black and Latino people and brought a gun to a youth sports game."

“If you try to take my hostage I’m going to shoot myself in the foot.”

All of Nofo and all of VB in the same district

NEW: Trump’s DHS forces have shot 11 people since September. NBC News examined every case, revealing a pattern that policing experts called alarming: officers firing into cars, injuring and killing drivers.

"Worse than Bush after Katrina" is a polling benchmark that I thought that partisan polarization had made impossible

NEW from me: Towards the end of Trump's interview with 60 Minutes in November, Bari Weiss rushed into the room to introduce herself and the pair exchanged kisses on the cheek, leaving 60 Minutes staff stunned at the "overly chummy" embrace. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

They have quite an operation going. www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.

ICE has kidnapped one of my MN News Guild siblings

We want to hear from people in Minnesota about the surge of thousands of federal immigration agents in the area

‘The service charges customers a flat fee of $17.75 for deliveries up to 10 miles, and $31.25 for orders between 10 and 20 miles away’

Sign of the times 5 GOP State Senators in Virginia join all Dems to put referendum on ballot to protect same-sex marriage All of them are in seats Spanberger won Including Tara Durant running in VA-7

NEW: a Norfolk federal judge has allowed work on Dominion Energy's offshore wind farm to continue after finding the company likely suffered irreparable harm. Third loss in court for Trump campaign against wind energy in a single week.

We all made it to Whiskey Friday with Tony Dokoupil

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it. We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

ICE agents left a Mexican restaurant in St. Paul, Minnesota, after patrons yelled at them to get out. President Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota to quell protests over a recent federal immigration enforcement surge. https://wapo.st/4by8f1A

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?

Long-serving Norfolk city attorney announces retirement trib.al/QtO9MjJ

Tribal leaders and members who live in the greater Minneapolis area say Indigenous family members, friends and neighbors have been stopped, questioned, harassed and, in some cases, detained solely on the basis of their skin color or their names.

By using brutal force against Americans, ICE has given Democrats a chance to change how voters think about immigration. Will they take it? An extra post recapping new numbers about ICE out this week: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/ice-is-a-7...

Many journalists said they saw the FBI raid of a Washington Post reporter’s home as a jarring new step aimed at limiting news organizations’ ability to gather information that the government does not want to be made public.

Someone close to me.... May have knocked both his cell phone and glasses into Iceland's Blue Lagoon so I thought the Verizon outage was due to my hubris

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

One thing I have learned from my history-learning habits becoming more middle-aged-dad-coded is that the number of cataclysmically stupid wars that have occurred in history because of this very logic is shockingly high — like, "is this an engine of history?"-level high.

The average American is not feeling great about the economy. But when business executives talk to shareholders, they tell a very different story about growth and strength. www.washingtonpost.com/business/int...

This story, btw, is the reason Pam Bondi rescinded media protections for journalists in leak investigations. You can draw a direct link between this issue and the raid on Hannah Natanson's home this morning. Again, great work from @rshapiro.bsky.social and @dell.bsky.social.

And @mprnews.org’ Chris Farrell tried: www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

The delays to wind energy and millions lost most likely because of 11 or so turbines in Aberdeen, Scotland.

A Danish official says a “fundamental disagreement” over Greenland remains with Trump after talks with JD Vance and Marco Rubio.

Verizon said on Wednesday that it was working to restore its mobile and data services, as more than 170,000 users reported outages to the website Downdetector.

I managed to miss this story entirely yesterday. Many incredible images are included, where "obtained a series of images of group messages" isn't a leak or anything--it's just someone with the font size blown up and holding their phone way up to eye-height to read. Amazing.

UPDATE: Jack Daniel’s parent co. Brown-Forman tells me it has nothing to do with CBS’ “Whiskey Friday” concept. “Jack Daniel’s is not involved in any such segment, nor do we have any awareness of the segment and any potential partnerships or sponsorships.”

New CNN polling: Most Americans see an immigration officer’s fatal shooting of Renee Good as an inappropriate use of force. Roughly half view it as a sign of broader issues with the way ICE is operating, w/under 1/3 saying that ICE operations have made cities safer. www.cnn.com/2026/01/14/p...

'The change, which began Monday , leaves Norfolk with just two daily rail round trips to D.C. Newport News also has two.' 🎁

"Federal agents allegedly drive off with baby in car after father detained in Cypress Park raid."

Washington Post story has details not reported elsewhere:

ugh god it's still never gonna shut up about how it's just as easy to use as windows malware

Really working their way through the ol' First Amendment.

I bet this guy went to parties and his friends would be like "cmon man do the face"

Redistricting could be lights out for Virginia GOP during Trump 2.0 era They already lost big last year and have to deal with Dem trifecta If redistricting happens, will lose at least 3 members of Congress And new lines will stay in place through 2030

They'll stick to an official line of not explicitly saying it, keep all the face-saving off ramps open, it can be spun as doing what he asked for. But this is an actual for-real military deployment in response to a fear of an American invasion. Soldiers to defend themselves from us, the rogue state.

NEW: Far-right Zionist group Betar US will disband following an investigation by NY State Attorney General Letitia James into the group's "violence against and harassment of Muslim, Arab, Palestinian, and Jewish activists" and failure to register as a charity in NY despite soliciting donations.

just remembered this 1985 photo (from a SEVA benefit) of weir with jonathan richman, who looks like he's trying to figure out how he ended up onstage with a grateful dead. incidentally, weir is singing "ripple," i think maybe the first time he sang a garcia/hunter song outside the dead.
