This story gets worse and worse.

A memo was released by ICE instructing agents to violate the U.S. Constitution. ICE told officers and agents that they can forcibly enter homes without warrants signed by judges. The memo was from ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons, was shared with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn) by two whistleblowers.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

It appears the jetway photos at Logan were part of CBP "biometric exit" program, which has been tested for years but was quietly approved for wider rollout in Sept. (Doesn't explain threats to passenger) Some really creepy, damning details in NYT report from Sept: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/t...

Read @freedom.press' @laurenleharper.bsky.social on the government's raid of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson:

The Trump administration paid Hudson River Park Trust nearly $170,000 last year, in a contract that lets federal ICE agents park their unmarked vans at Pier 40 hellgatenyc.com/hudson-river...

I have asked multiple people in the administration and around Trumpworld what is up with these “simulations,” and no one has any idea what Brooke Rollins is talking about

it's bizarre to see both CNN and CNBC run with chyrons reporting that Trump said he won't "use force" to take Greenland, when the comments in question were clearly a threat to take Greenland by force. How naive are we at this point?

me looking at my all the Americans who hate DEI after this speech.

One thing I wish news orgs would repeat ad infinitum today is how the U.S. is *already* in Greenland, with a massive military presence at Ptuffik. Denmark has Station Nord. Ben to both; either could be expanded. Greenland is "undefended" is 100% not true.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Also, if you're a non-native English speaker and you think it's your fault that a lot of this isn't making sense, no, no, it's him

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

Your regular reminder that Republicans in Congress approve of what the President is doing.

1. In 2025, 32 people died in ICE custody. That figure was the largest in more than two decades and tied for the highest number of deaths among ICE’s detainee population ever. 2026 is only three weeks old, and it’s already shaping up to be much worse.

We’re being led by a fucking idiot. JFC

Trump is now confusing Greenland and Iceland: "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."

PSA: When Trump brags about how much money tariffs are bringing in, he’s bragging about taxing regular folks and taking more of your money. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Nancy Lacore, who served in the Navy for 35 years as a Navy helicopter pilot, three-star admiral and the chief of the Navy Reserve, announced a run for South Carolina's 1st Congressional District Navy admiral removed by Hegseth announces run for Congress abcnews.go.com/Politics/nav...

She’s leaving the position she didn’t have.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

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...

@tedlieu.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov

Brian Allen 🚨 NEW AUDIO: Karoline Leavitt just threatened CBS News over Trump’s interview: “Air it in full… or we’ll sue your ass off.” The White House is now openly trying to bully the media into compliance. This isn’t “transparency.” It’s intimidation.

Inside the detention center, Gibson said officers put him in a bare, metal holding cell about the size of a small conference room with around 40 other detainees. Their legs were shackled. Gibson said one person in the cell appeared to have scabies.

So to reiterate now they are attacking an orphaned child

How the fuck does ABC run this without mentioning the Posse Comitatus Act? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_C...

Published this on Thursday— “Rep. Julia Letlow Discloses Over 200 Stock Trades After Deadline As Ban Debate Grows In Congress”

as a lifelong Californian we are fucking screaming, crying, begging, throwing up, if you allow Gavin Newsom to be the democratic candidate please understand that he is literally Ronald Reagan 2.0

When you think you know who your REP is, he turns out to be a traitor Cockwaffle @tedlieu.bsky.social

A lot of "what is this good for" and "who is going to enforce it" floating around. When ICE does something that violates the injunction, the lawyers in this case will come back to court. But they won't be starting over - they'll be coming back to this judge and asking for a contempt finding.

Whew, this new CNN poll is brutal.... 58% say first year was a failure. Net approval on key issues: - Venezuela: -16 - Immigration: -16 (was +3 in Mar) - Economy: -21 - Foreign affairs: -21 - Job approval: -22 (39-61) - Tariffs: -25 (new low) - Healthcare: -27 (new low) www.cnn.com/2026/01/16/p...

Nothing

This dude is intense and correct

Renee Good's family is accusing federal immigration officers of killing the Minneapolis mother of three as she attempted to follow agents' instructions, and have now hired the same law firm that represented George Floyd's family to press for answers and accountability.

Attention: @dallasnews.com @keranews.org @dallasobserver.com

A new NYT video analysis by confirms that Renee Good's vehicle did not run over Jonathan Ross and did not strike him. It's possible that it brushed up against him, but that remains unclear. Ross should be under arrest. This is a gift link. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/v...

Newly released records: Renee Good was found in her vehicle with two gunshot wounds to her chest and another to her forearm. After they removed her from the vehicle, she was not breathing and had an irregular pulse. She also had a possible gunshot wound to the left side of her head.

The more info we get about this raid, the worse it becomes. ICE had NO valid warrant (administrative warrants do not authorize forceful entry into a home), the guy's sole prior conviction was a since-dismissed drug charge from 2008, AND he had checked in with ICE just days earlier.

In every photo I see, every time, I cannot get over the fact that they’re all wearing masks. Police don’t wear masks. Everyday soldiers don’t wear masks. Thugs, criminals and special forces (ie those from whom swift violence is expected) conceal their faces. The signal could not be clearer.

The first US sale of Venezuelan crude was to a company whose senior oil trader donated to Donald Trump’s re-election campaign and attended a White House meeting with the president last week. www.ft.com/content/da74...

Destiny Jackson said her 6-mo-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness following the ICE attack. She performed CPR on her baby while others poured milk on her other children in an effort to neutralize the tear gas. Three of children, including the baby, were then taken to the hospital

“A bruise is internal bleeding” In case anyone was still taking CBS News(max) seriously

Internal bleeding is the perfect metaphor for CBS under Bari Weiss

Aliya Rahman told ICE she was disabled She told them she was on her way to a doctor appt They broke her window, cut her seatbelt & dragged her away like an animal She was headed to the Traumatic Brain Injury Center when they grabbed her. She was denied access to a doctor & tossed in detention

For non-German speakers: “Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”
