“Ochoa is a Border Patrol agent who joined CBP in 2018. Gutierrez joined in 2014 and works for CBP’s Office of Field Operations. He is assigned to a special response team, which conducts high-risk operations like those of police SWAT units. Records show both men are from South Texas.”

They’re going to come after Pro Publica and its journalists now

Rep. Morrison on conditions at Whipple: "She said, 'they are treating us like animals in here. The women that are in this cell with me, we slept on a cold concrete floor last night. We were begging for a blanket, & guards were cruel'... we have to resolve that every single person deserves dignity"

Karoline Leavitt lies shamelessly: "Under Joe Biden, murders were up. Violent crime was up." (Biden brought crime dramatically down from where it was in 2020, the last year of Trump's first term)

Alarm bells are ringing in the Horn of Africa. Farms are no longer yielding, pests are spreading, and tropical diseases are emerging. Climate change is real, and it’s destroying lives. #ClimateCrisis #GlobalAction

I can’t believe the greediest people on Earth would let us down.

They aren't called ”filthy rich” for nothing.

“Trump posted about the race on his social media platform earlier Saturday, urging voters to get out to support Wambsganss. He called her a successful entrepreneur and ‘an incredible supporter’ of his Make America Great Again movement.” www.npr.org/2026/02/01/n...

The good: this medic is doing a great job with that little girl. The bad: gas the kid, kidnap the kid, fuck the kid, it’s all in-policy for the Trump Administration.

You know, they don't call them ”filthy rich” for nothing.

On ICE protesters: ”They will have to suffer.” — Pres. Donald Trump aboard Air Force One January 31, 2026.

/7 I don’t think these people encouraged Epstein to rape more children. I don’t think Epstein needed encouragement. But they did send him an unmistakable message: raping children is not a deal-breaker for notable, powerful and influential people to have a relationship with you.

/5 The people who normalized and promoted Jeffrey Epstein after his conviction sent the message that he was safe now. Children got raped under the shadow of that message.

Jeffrey Epstein did not stop raping children after his 2008 conviction. Jeffrey Epstein did not stop facilitating the rape of children after his 2008 conviction. He kept doing it. That is the context of people treating him as a normal person after his conviction. /1 www.cnn.com/2020/01/15/u...

#GVerse #BreakingNews 🇺🇸 #Shit4Brains new Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh visited Epstein’s island and is named in the files.

I guess the best-available defense to this sort of thing—lots of friendly emails and visits with someone recently convicted of procuring a child for the purposes of prostitution, I mean—is something like “He seemed to have lots of money and connections and I would have liked a little piece of that”

Non compos mentis

ICE agents can stop anyone they suspect of being undocumented. Now, many Minnesotans are weighing their rights and their pride against their own safety. “I have a passport, but it’s paper, not a shield.”

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society. How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

I'm so old, I remember January 2025 when this racist letter circulated in Lincoln County, OR encouraging people to report on their neighbors who are undocumented. The letter ended by saying this would bring houses prices down. What was condemned as racist vigilantism last year is now gov't policy.

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal. I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Who is Trump instructing to arrest Obama here? Is he giving an order? If so, to whom? His AG? The FBI? A fantasy savior? His continued calls to arrest his opponents seek to condition the public to accept punishment by decree.

Watch the video as a recklessly driven cheap car careens around and a gang of armed thugs spring out to menace an innocent civilian, like a kidnapping or robbery or murder-for-hire. It looks like organized crime taking place in a third-world country, because it is.

straight up Gestapo shit

Watch @chrislhayes.bsky.social face when he picks up what @asharangappa.bsky.social is putting down. Keep in mind that Giuliani advised Trump in Dec 2020 the only way the DoD could seize voting machines is if there were foreign election interference, which Sidney Powell then tried to fabricate.

The Alexander brothers were once regulars in the Miami and Manhattan party circles. Now, they are on trial in New York, accused of a wide-ranging sex trafficking conspiracy that prosecutors say started almost two decades ago. Here’s what to know.

I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.

At least 3,800 kids, including 20 infants, have been detained since Donald Trump returned to office.

Yeah... yeah me too. I mean who wants a golden globe anyway?

What do you do with all the eggs? 🥚

I give Senate Democrats credit 👏 for trying—but not Murkowski or Collins who Thune (obviously) gave permission to vote with the Democrats because they knew the amendment would fail. BTW, where was Thom Tillis who has been so vocal about the abuses of ICE. 🤔

If you answer “No” you get an invitation to Mar-a-Lago

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps. This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

This new file released appears to show Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick discussing visiting Epstein's island in 2012. Lutnick previously claimed that he cut off ties around 2005 with Epstein after being revolted by him.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

How is Melania the only person with a bespoke font in the Epstein Files?

two sources with knowledge of the situation tell @zeteo.com some officials in Trump’s DOJ actually explored if certain instances of anti-ICE activists blowing whistles in Minnesota could be used as evidence in criminal prosecutions of those who “obstruct” operations... zeteo.com/p/don-lemon-...

Breaking News: Sen. Chuck ”Vishy” Schumer kicks can down road. Preserves status quo. ”Hopefully this will all blow over in two weeks and I can pretend to get concessions from Trump,” Schumer is probably thinking.

Looking at the mug shots Bondi posted of folks who allegedly impeded ICE officers... I'm reminded me of some of the iconic 1960s images of 'criminals' from counter sitins and freedom rides

FOUR journalists were arrested. Proving again that this administration isn’t “pivoting” or “turning down the temperature.” By targeting independent journalists instead of the murderers of Pretti and Good, this is ramping up. Not winding down. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
