Breaking News Update: Portland residents across the city took to the streets Thursday after police said two people were shot by federal immigration authorities. The Department of Homeland Security claims its agent shot at gang members in self-defense.

Trump, in a sit down interview on Fox News aired just now, said the US will be conducting land strikes against the cartels. "We are gonna start now hitting land, with regard to the cartels. The cartels are running Mexico."

JUST IN: Citing ICE's shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis Wednesday, lawyers ask federal judge there to issue immediate TRO reining in DHS tactics towards immigration-enforcement protesters/observers in Minnesota. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26... Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

I believe all of the shootings by federal immigration agents have happened to people in cars. Kristi Noem alleged yesterday that people are being “trained” to use their cars against law enforcement, which seems like an absolute tell that the opposite is true.

Remember that during his first campaign, Trump was more than happy to accept a Purple Heart from one of his supporters. He doesn’t care about what it means, he wants the shiny thing abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...

Horny for it all to be over.

BREAKING NEWS: We are opening a formal investigation into the shooting involving federal agents in Portland today. Our office will take every step necessary to ensure the rights and security of Oregonians are protected. #orpol #breakingnews

Colbert called the shooting of a 37-year-old mom in Minneapolis “a senseless, yet entirely predictable tragedy.”

NOW: Protest in DC tonight at 14 and U streets, shutting down traffic in both directions.

Anyone who thinks non-compliance should be an automatic death sentence should not be allowed around your children, your partner/spouse, your pets, or your succulent plants.

Sure, a plaque is nice, but incarcerations are better.

I’d deeply appreciate it if some of y’all on Bluesky could quit bitching at me to get off Twitter. I don’t fucking enjoy being on there or the unhinged levels of harassment it causes me, but I work on extremism and political violence, so I don’t have the luxury to avoid that hellscape.

In response to ICE’s execution of Renee Nicole Good & violence against our communities, the 50501 Movement is demanding the immediate abolition of ICE & is joining its partners in the Disappeared in America Coalition to announce ICE OUT For Good, a nationwide mobilization scheduled for 1/10 & 1/11.

“If confirmed, the use of such a weapon — though armed with conventional or dummy warheads — would be an ominous threat to Ukraine and its Western allies and an escalation by President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.” G’night. Sleep tight. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/w...

it feels like the country woke up in a bathtub full of ice

I am being told by a separate reliable source that at least one victim is hospitalized currently. They are not in custody. After shooting, the ICE or CBP officer (still unclear) "fled the scene".

Partial confirmation of what my source told me. The victims only traveled a short distance- sounds like they just left the immediate area. Meanwhile the CBP officers left the scene and at least didn't pursue them very hard. Did they panic and run? Get lost? www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

NEW from me: The US House on Thursday passed a bipartisan 2026 spending package for environmental agencies that includes roughly $33 million in the Environmental Protection Agency budget for Energy Star, a program co-managed by the Department of Energy. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I have a new piece up @slate.com, on the politics of Minneapolis's DA going after the ICE officer (now ID'd as Jonathan Ross) who killed Renee Good. She's been aggressive on police shooting in the past, residents are outraged at the killing, and she can charge even without a fed or local arrest.

I thought Trump would never get the Nobel Peace Prize. He's about to prove me wrong!

Corroborates our reporting earlier today that Jonathan Ross was an Iraqi war vet theintercept.com/2026/01/08/i...

at least 5 asian americans died in ICE custody in 2025

Your regular reminder - Chickenhawk Trump avoided service in Vietnam because his feet hurt and he has credibly been reported to have referred to fallen American soldiers as "suckers and losers." #CadetBoneSpurs

At diners, vigils and protests, Minneapolis grapples with an ICE shooting that plunged it into an all-too-familiar crisis. “It feels like there’s some PTSD.”

Yet another example of how the New York Times strives for the most neutral language possible--and in doing so presents a skewed picture of reality. "The Party was at odds with the rules of math when it suggested two plus two equals five."

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.” So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

WATTERS: Have you been watching this New York Mayor Mamdani guy? JD VANCE: Heh heh heh. The guy who wants to take all property away from white people?

This is a big one, friends! NO WAR, NO KINGS march and rally against the war on Venezuela with @bkindivisible.bsky.social, @riseandresist.bsky.social, @50501newyork.bsky.social, @socialists.nyc, and more! This Sunday at 1 pm in NYC! www.mobilize.us/indivisiblen...

Abolish ICE. Really.

"Say her name! Renee Nicole Good!" About 800 people march in NYC to protest ICE just hours after the murder of Renee Nicole Good in Minnesota.

I know this isn’t new information but I just really gotta emphasize how goddamn difficult it is to successfully sign up for SNAP or Medicaid, even if you’re Good At Paperwork

Up to 10,000 people gathered for a vigil after ICE killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026 - another short video from the vigil site. Story is developing.

Historically, we've focused a lot on the brutal actions of authoritarian regimes, and today is no different.

I’m as hawkish as it comes, but a 1.5 trillion dollar military is bat crap cray cray. Mush brains

WATTERS: Greenland - how far as you willing to go? VANCE: The president is gonna make the ultimate determination, but there's been a lot of bellyaching from Europe and Europe has failed to contend with the fundamental argument POTUS has made: Greenland is critical to the world's national security

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.

When the cop murdered Philando Castile his girlfriend and her 4 year old daughter were also in the car.

JD Vance: "They'll say 'we fought together in World War 2' or 'we fought together in the War on Terrorism.' We're grateful for that. We love having these allies. But just because you did something smart 25 years ago doesn't mean you can't do something dumb now."

Remember like two days ago when that Hilton branch in Minnesota canceled ICE's reservation and the Hilton company punished them for it? Boy I think maybe Hilton should be informed about what happened today. 888/446-6677

Hard, hard disagree. You do not need a constitutional amendment to abolish ICE or disestablish DHS. We can do this - but not this year. A new American coalition can do it, but it'll be long after this bunch of soulless opportunists are flushed from government.

It’s absolutely the right call and fucking surreal that our public schools have to close because of the threat posed by OUR OWN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. I am beyond livid.

Once I had a big fight with a young reporter who insisted the details of a shooting differed from my reporting which was based on videos of the incident. I illustrated how his reporting could not be true & he yelled back I’M A REAL REPORTER WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT SOURCES anyway that was wes lowery
