I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Literature & Government, or L&G with the LG, a lecture series engaging campuses across Virginia in thoughtful dialogue on democracy, leadership, and public life. Coming to a campus near you!

Raise a toast today for Frances Perkins’ birthday. Secretary of Labor throughout FDR’s presidency (and the first female cabinet secretary). The list of New Deal programs she presented to FDR in 1933 were the foundation of The New Deal, and American prosperity. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances...

This is a masterclass by Buttigieg

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

An example of how to filter it.

AN example of how to quote his tweet: Donald Trump moved his deadline (reiterated Saturday) to start committing war crimes by 24-hours--"Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one"--even while admitting that he cannot reopen the Strait of Hormuz himself.

Donald Trump packages up & brands his insane propaganda to serve several functions. It turns BOTH opponents & supporters into data mules, & does so on his terms, AND by doing so reinforces polarization. If you must screen cap repackage it to disrupt branding. Or just quote the most insane bits.

It's already far too much money for an out of control agency like ICE, which is despised by most of America.

I had to cut it by a few seconds. He says "I am antifa" at the end FYI

“Epstein’s accountant testified the Epstein estate settled with Jane Doe #4 for Epstein & Trump — right after bombing Iran we get her files. Lying to the FBI is a crime. She alleged Epstein abused her when she was 13 and Trump abused her when she was 15.”

RATCLIFFE: So much of what you relayed there, the difference between political rhetoric versus-- BENNET: It's not 'political rhetoric.' I'm quoting the president. The complete lack of clarity should matter to everybody

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: Dueling with two consenting adults is still there RAND PAUL: It's been illegal for 170 years! There's no precedent for legal dueling

Arrest Hegseth. He is following illegal orders.

I am curious what other lawyers would reflect on this ruling. Was it a mid-selection of statute?

Rubin: "There is at least one witness for whom 3 interviews with the FBI in in 2019 are missing [from the Epstein files]. What's the big deal? We can also confirm she is the same person who in a 2025 FBI presentation is identified as accusing Trump of a sexual assault when she was between 13 and 15"

BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

I would love it if some Dem representative stood up in the middle of the State of the Union Address and shouted, "QUIET, PIGGY"

The Supreme Court on Friday issued its highly anticipated ruling on tariffs. Here's Amy's initial opinion analysis, which will be updated throughout the day.

Wait! The public face of nationwide immigration enforcement, Gregory Bovino, said in a newly discovered email that his boss wasn’t the head of CBP. He reported to Corey Lewandowski instead. He’s a political operative with zero law-enforcement background calling the shots on immigration enforcement.

Kristi Noem: "Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen"

"What can Democrats actually do?" - Vote against funding for ICE and DHS - State that any ICE officers who commit crimes under Trump will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law - Encourage cities and states to refuse to cooperate with ICE - Explain ICE is part of Trump's tyranny

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

Saying this as clearly as possible. If the response to the murder of Alex Pretti by any account is to attack Chuck Schumer, The Senate MINORITY Leader who can do almost nothing, rather than attack John Thune, Senate MAJORITY Leader that could end this with the stroke of a pen, unfollow that account.

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.

This is a MUST-READ affidavit. This eyewitness to Alex Pretti’s murder — who is too scared to even go home because she doesn’t trust federal agents — directly refutes what the feds are saying happened today:

TW ⚠️ This is the pink jacket lady’s angle. (From Drop Site News) Horrific. Bovino is a stone cold liar. Pretti wasn’t attacking officers, he had just helped a lady they assaulted and had gotten pepper sprayed.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Newsom commenting on EU approach to dealing with Trump (in Davos): “This is not diplomacy, this is stupidity”

Jennings: Let's not get our knickers in a twist here McGowan: Why are you talking like that? It's insane. Your attitude is just horrifying…

British MP Ed Davey (leader of the Liberal Democrats): “He is a bully. He thinks he can grab whatever he wants using force. He’s corrupt. The most corrupt President the US has ever seen.”

Johnson to address British Parliament. Farage on US willing to acquire Greenland: “This is the biggest fracture in the relationship between our two countries since Suez in 1956. This is serious.” Johnson downplays it as a "minor rift". We are well aware of Farage and his affiliations.

It’s time. #25thAmendment

Video of the protesters disrupting service calling for ICE out. Some great words spoken in protest as well.

“If any of these do break, it’s likely game over for one very good reason: there is no one in the Trump administration able to put them right.”

WATCH: “How many people with domestic violence convictions are running around, with guns, in our cities, terrorizing people?” Journalist @laurajedeed.bsky.social was hired as an ICE officer after a 6 minute interview, despite not having completed a background check.

This dude is intense and correct

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

banishbigbrother.com/flock-camera... Here you can check where flock cameras are in your area. I was able to confirm that each location where ice/cbp have been reported in my area, flock cameras were also present.

I am calling for the arrest and prosecution of the ICE agent that shot and killed Renee Good. I am also calling on Congress to support my bill with @jasmineforus.bsky.social to force ICE agents to wear body cameras, not wear masks, have visible identification & ensure ICE has independent oversight.

Warner: "We've had American intervention in Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Nigeria, Venezuela, maybe Greenland where he would blow up NATO. Did you see the Brits and Germans are putting troops in Greenland because they want to send a message. How is this leading to price stability, bringing down costs?"
