If you hear people complaining, remind them that Dems offered to split out ICE and CPB and fund everything else, including TSA. Republicans said no.

Just a New York Times reporter asking Jeffrey Epstein in September 2016: "If you knew Trump was going to win, how would you position your portfolio?"👀

Does that seem fair to you?

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity. America deserves better.

AOC: We all saw the performance Bondi had. She was screaming and crashing, and I think it’s because she knows she is implicated in a massive cover-up to protect a ring of pedophiles through:

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency. She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

No matter your immigration status, you have rights. 🔶 Know them. 🔶 Stay informed through trusted local organizations. 🔶 Do not spread disinformation. 🔶 If it is safe, record and document.

4 February 1925 | A French Jewish woman, Ginette Kolinka (née Cherkasky), was born in Paris. She was deported to #Auschwitz from Drancy in April 1944. She was transferred to Bergen-Belsen and then to #Theresienstadt. She survived. Today she turns 101.

Troublemaker is my middle name.

"Imagine the wholly unnecessary trauma that child has now experienced at the hands of our government," writes columnist @rexhuppke.bsky.social. bit.ly/3LzArXz

She’s telling you reality. And that massive slush fund came from the OBBB. That GOP budget 0 Democrats voted for. There’s bills already to divert that money, by Democrats. There’s bills to force accountability & identification & to strip qualified immunity. All by Democrats. You need more Democrats.

Walz on Bondi's demands for voter rolls: "This is Donald Trump telling everybody that the election was rigged, who started this nightmare for America. Pro tip to the AG: There's two million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those."

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Reps. Robert Garcia and Jamie Raskin are calling on Pam Bondi to allow them to visit the minimum-security federal prison in Texas where Ghislaine Maxwell is being held and to interview the warden — citing reports they said they had received that she was receiving preferential treatment.

Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.

As angry as I am about the Trump administration's actions, I struggle (a LOT) with the reality that he's there only because a critical mass of my fellow citizens have (enthusiastically) nominated him three times for president and then a near-majority decided in 2024 that he was an acceptable option.

What we’ve seen in Minnesota should make you furious, but it should also inspire you.

Nothing threatens authoritarian regimes more than act of nonviolent protest — people standing together, choosing empathy and courage, and refusing to be afraid.

$1.5T for the military budget $170B for ICE and Border Patrol $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $470M to send National Guard into cities $230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation" $200M for Kristi Noem's jets $100M for Trump's golf outings But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

Given the timing, we consider this to be targeted harassment as punishment for exercising our First Amendment rights. We're still handing out free whistles. And we just got in hundreds of new yard signs. Keep resisting, Minnesota. We love you.

The Nobel Prize museum in Oslo subtweeting the fuck out of Trump today.

2/What’s really happening is that Trump has managed to take the spotlight off of DOJ‘s failure to comply with the Epstein files transparency act. Let’s not let him get away with that.

The DOJ has smoke for Jerome Powell, but none for the people in the Epstein files? 👀 Also, investigating possible criminal activity everywhere except the White House? Bold move, Pamela.

PAM BONDI, RELEASE THE FILES!

The week has concluded without release of Epstein Files

Guess people who still haven’t left X are never going to, but it would be a great show of conscience if all elected Democrats could agree it’s time to go and stop humoring Musk.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

Anyone who thinks the parties are the same is too stupid to argue with. Have these people even been alive in 2025?

And to the “yes they are the same” types who inevitably pop up: Would a Harris admin have done this? No. Abolished USAID? No. Deployed ICE/CBP as an army? No. DOGE? No. Demand voting data? No. Gut vaccines? No. And on and on and on. You know this. Just don’t want to own it.

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.

The DOJ identified at least 10 co-conspirators who worked with Epstein and Maxwell. It’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Epstein and Maxwell were engaged in organized crime, yet NO ONE ELSE involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring has faced criminal charges. Why?

What the absolute [expletive] was that?!?

Trump says that affordability is a Democratic "hoax," but his tariffs derailed an economy that was headed in the right direction (via Bloomberg Opinion)

Yes, I'm taking the first step towards Noem's impeachment. I demand a full investigation into Secretary Noem's unlawful actions and unethical behavior. The people will have accountability.

Duckworth: "It is a war crime. It's illegal. No matter how you put it, it's all illegal. I've been shot down behind enemy lines. Under the laws of war, you are supposed to help render aid to that individual ... you're not allowed to go back in and kill them."

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

So, special election next year for MTG seat. Here's the Democrat already in the race. 40-year military vet, retired as an Army Brigadier General. 5 children, 4 grandchildren. Wife Karla works as a family doctor. Plus, they run their grass-fed cattle farm. www.shawnforgeorgia.com/meet-the-can...

Listen…If y’all want to talk honesty, then let’s be honest about all of it. The promises, the hypocrisy, the receipts. Because what you campaigned on and what you’re doing? Two very different things.

“Parents who, after consulting with a doctor and a psychologist, allow their 15-year-old child to transition commit child abuse. The child is too young to consent!” --Megyn R. Kelly “Grown men who have sex with your 15-year-old? Big whoop! It’s not like she’s 8. LOL!” --Also Megyn R. Kelly

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely. *If all goes by the regular schedule

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Guy from FoxNews texted the guy from Road Rules to loan out the military to do air traffic control because the Apprentice guy who is president is a toddler. Read that sentence, then read it again. We great?
