If the remaining elements of the White Press Corps who aren't MAGA lapdogs have any credibility, they will push Leavitt to explain why staffers have access to the President's social media account in the middle of the night and have the ability to post to it. Talk about a national security risk.

Here's what Dems should do: 1) Double down on the demands. 2) Make clear there will be no additional funding. If the GOP wants to shut down DHS, that's on them. Don't surrender to pushback from these goons. Take inspiration from the people of Minneapolis. apnews.com/article/home...

They've adopted a strategy of claiming they're dialing it down while changing nothing on the ground. Minnesota is still under a violent, lawless reign of ICE terror. Children and families are still being abducted. Do not look away.

Trump's racist post came at the end of a minute-long video promoting conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. n.pr/46d74S3

Students with disabilities and survivors of sexual misconduct can’t rely on the Department of Education — the target of budget cuts and staff reductions — to intervene for them, according to a new report.

this is pretty wild. good argument for lockdown mode if your threat model is one where you might have your phone seized by the Feds: www.404media.co/fbi-couldnt-...

My Senator is investigating people who bring donuts to protests instead of the men who r@pe and torture children

THOU SHALT NOT PROTECT PEDOS!!! WHY THE FUCK IS THIS SENDER’S NAME REDACTED?!?

“The Justice Department published dozens of unredacted nude images on its website, showing young women or possibly teenagers whose photos were contained in files related to the wealthy sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/u...

"Four hours after his arrest, he was taken to a hospital emergency room in Edina with swelling and bruising around his right eye and bleeding. A CT scan revealed at least eight skull fractures and life-threatening hemorrhages in at least five areas of his brain..." apnews.com/article/immi...

Now for the rest of the babies they’ve shoved into that detention center.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis. snyder.substack.com/p/ethnic-cle...

The US President, on writing large checks to himself directly from the US Treasury: “Nobody would care.” Suspending the rule of law, poisoning our institutions with vast corruption, will ultimately harm all Conservative and Liberal Americans. No ‘side’ wins.

Protect independent journalists at all costs.

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores. TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti. Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret. Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

I wrote yesterday about Kevin Warsh, saying what everyone who really follows monetary debates knows: he's a bullshitter who uses big words to make incoherent arguments that always amount to stimulus for Republicans, austerity for Dems 1/ paulkrugman.substack.com/p/a-bad-heir...

LOVE > ICE. Stay strong Minnesota!

Then they said they'd use the law to target *pro-choicers* Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said the “only violence” being committed is against the “rights of speech and prayer” of protesters outside of clinics and crisis pregnancy centers. jessica.substack.com/p/the-doj-pl...

Greeting DJT to Iowa

If you didn't catch this segment of @maddow.bsky.social's tonight, I recommend you watch the whole thing. We're seeing both utterly sadistic mass scale horror alongside incredibly inspiring mass displays of humanity. The regime is weak. The people will win.

ICE is changing tactics in Maine: "Now, the volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest. Some of them, masked and wearing tactical gear, have issued stark warnings not to follow them." www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN: "I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind." and "The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back." Read storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It's hard to know where to start with this degenerate hogwash. But that last line "ICE > MN" captures it. The ICE agents are superior to the whole state. That's their mentalty and model.

🚨 NEW — Statement from the family of Alex Pretti: "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital... 1/

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Powerful statement that supports the accusation that federal agents murdered Alex Pretti.

Sworn declaration from a first hand witness calling out DHS as liars.

Standing with Minnesota. Rest in peace and power, all ICE victims of violence. (Sign in background says, “NO HATE IN OUR STATE.”)

Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed. The next could be you. What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones. This is personal — to every one of us.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Minneapolis police chief confirms the 37-year-old man killed by ICE in Minneapolis is a “lawful gun owner with a carry permit.”

Liam Ramos, a preschooler ICE detained the five-year-old Minnesota boy as he returned home from school and transported him to a detention center in Texas.

“I started screaming with everything I had, because I couldn’t even breathe,” 10th grader Arnoldo Bazan told ProPublica, showing where the agent’s hands had closed around his throat. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die.” By @nicolefoy.bsky.social and @mckenziefunk.com

From an optics perspective... the protesters being the ones waving the US flag while Bovino et al looks like every awful nazi inspired movie we've ever seen... hats off to Minnesotans.

Pregnancy with chronic health conditions is risky. Trying to navigate pregnancy with multiple legislative restrictions on reproductive healthcare can be fatal. Must read investigation on this tragic case out of North Carolina By Lizzie Presser and Kavitha Surana www.propublica.org/article/nort...

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

He’s not wrong.

Who honestly supports this shit? They gave this woman about 8 conflicting commands, broke her window and drug her out of her car.

Trump thugs are killing, brutalizing, and torturing American citizens. That is not an “immigration crackdown.” It’s domestic repression and occupation.
