Robert Garcia is clear. ICE is not welcome in Long Beach. Communities deserve safety, dignity, and accountability, not intimidation and federal dragnet policing. Congress must stop funding abuse and listen to the people on the ground. #FundHealthcareStopICE

It is conventional wisdom that the Washington Post's current death spiral and was caused by the Harris endorsement fiasco. I actually think it was these endorsements in January 2025. Support pro-democracy, independent media. Sign up for Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Eric Garcia: Should Kristi Noem resign? Murkowski: I voted for her. I would not support her again, and I think it’s probably time for her to step down.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

She is powerful but I am so sad that people are wallowing in the filth of hatred because Trump and Miller have pulled the trolls out of hiding. They are still cowards but dangerous cowards or crazy. Or both.

“If you raise your voice, I’ll erase your voice.”

note that Trump isn’t qualified to clean Philip’s toilet, not to mention understand (or probably read) the Lyceum, Lincoln’s great speech that was given on this day in 1838 and that captures much of what is sick, decayed, pitiable, and plain old low class about our embarrassment of a president.

CNN: Are you okay? Omar :I've survived war. And I'm definitely going to survive intimidation and whatever these people think they can throw at me because I'm built that way.

Two Democratic members of Congress attacked in three days. Maxwell Frost was assaulted on Saturday, Ilan Omar tonight.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, as well as countless other victims. We honor their lives by rejecting the evils of antisemitism, dehumanization, and authoritarian violence wherever they appear. Never again means never again for anyone.

These words demand attention. “In a real sense this is holy ground, consecrated by blood spilled here. The cost is high, and so I had to be here to stand in the very place where this tragedy unfurled… I think we’re at a defining moment for our country…” ~ Rev Warnock Take a moment, so much more…

Good news

Sorry Border Patrol. Not gonna happen.

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., rolls out his demand for supporting a DHS appropriations bill: fire Stephen Miller

Corner of Vin Scully and Stadium Way, Dodger Stadium.

I’m glad that Congresswoman Omar is safe. Our state has been shattered by political violence in the last year. The cruel, inflammatory, dehumanizing rhetoric by our nation’s leaders needs to stop immediately. www.startribune.com/man-tackled-...

Walz: I think Kristi Noem probably should go back to South Dakota, not have any dogs, and just kind of ride things out

Gallego: I think it's ridiculous that Kristi Noem just went out right away and basically called this poor victim, a violent terrorist. That right there is impeachable. She lied about a citizen to justify his murder. The president should ask for her resignation.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

Now in Maine: ICE watchers say federal agents are coming to their house to threaten and intimidate them. www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Everyone still think athletes will avoid DHS (ICE, CBP etc) racial profiling? #WorldCup ⚽️

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Latvia’s Constitution Protection Bureau says Russia increasingly views Latvia as it viewed Ukraine before the war. The intelligence service warned of long-term military and hybrid threats and said Moscow may try to influence Latvia’s parliamentary elections this fall. #Latvia

Ask me if I empathize with BP and ICE. No I don’t

People absolutely need to stop describing these ICE murders as "fatal shootings". It's not a shooting. Words matter. It's murder, in plain sight. And filmed at multiple angles.

ALEX JEFFREY PRETTI. Gone, but never forgotten... #RIP_Alex 💔

We have to know they should be named and put on leave for a trisl

The story of the Border Patrol’s founding offers a lesson for the century that followed, and a rejoinder to the agency’s modern myth: Chaos is not just the absence of a border; it is also the consequence of trying to maintain one.

Chris Murphy: "This is really scary because what Bovino essentially told you is that if you just happen to be present when they are undertaking an operation, if you pull out your phone to record it, the use of force against you is justified. That is not true, it's not what the law says."

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: This week alone, the Russians have launched more than 1,700 attack drones, over 1,380 guided aerial bombs, and 69 missiles of various types. Every massive attack by Russia can become devastating. That is why missiles for air defense systems are needed every day.

This lawless administration is now operating under the “what are you gonna do about it” doctrine. A John Roberts creation.

WSJ says ICE is lying. Read that again…. The Wall Street Journal is calling out the lies

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

When you lose Rupert Murdoch’s famously liberal Wall Street Journal.

This is where we're at now. Alex Pretti: 1989 - 2026 Tank Man of Tiananmen Square: disappeared June 5th, 1989 #AlexPretti

Nuts Noem the Nazi talking lies

Photographic evidence of perps in action. Not us. BP ICE killers

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV's experts explained that Moscow is trying to trick Trump into unfreezing Russia's assets, to be used for reconstruction on the territories they want to take from Ukraine. They've admitted there is no chance of a peace deal. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOx_...
