Trump claims he has the authority to impose tariffs to respond to an economic “emergency.” Is getting his feelings hurt an emergency? This shows how absurd is tariff crusade is.

NEW: The Trump administration’s push for mass deportations has resulted in more than 18,000 challenges in federal court from immigrants claiming their detention is illegal. We are tracking the increase in these cases 👇

"214-217, Speaker Johnson fails in effort to block votes on measures to rescind Trump’s tariff policies. Johnson expressed confidence earlier today that the rule would be adopted Three Rs — Massie, Bacon and Kevin Kiley – defied him This will open door to flurry of tariff votes" h/t Manu Raju

A $100,000 salary in 1990 would be over $250,000 in today's dollars. A $100,000 salary today would be less than $40,000 in 1990.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

It has nothing to do with any of this and Rogers knows it. But he would rather sell out his state than stand up to Trump. This is Trump protecting a billionaire losing the monopoly he’s enjoyed for many years. Coward Rogers should lose the senate race just on this alone.

The federal agency known for widespread racial profiling, rights violations, ignoring court orders, murder — is expanding rapidly into office space across the country. Every American deserves a secret police outpost in their city. www.wired.com/story/ice-ex...

The FBI's Affidavit used to obtain the warrant for Fulton County ballots "instead of relying on the official transcript ... repeated an erroneous claim made by MAGA conspiracists." From this thread by Tom Joscelyn, an analyst who has followed these matters closely⤵️

He was pardoned for serious crimes - facilitating the financing of terrorists and sex predators. Because he agreed to put millions into Trump’s pocket. Naked corruption. Out in the open for all to see.

What this man is describing would seem to constitute crimes against humanity under international law. Other governments could and should contest the abuses he’s describing the U.S. government committing against migrants.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

This is not a case of immigrants taking jobs from Americans, most economists say. It’s a case of immigrants taking jobs Americans don’t want, because there are easier ways to make a living.

“My toddler was forced to witness an incredible amount of violence against people he loves and hear racial slurs about Latinos.” The ACLU takes aim.

This is that "red line" we heard so much about at the outset of Trump's second term. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Bloomington police announce arrests in sex trafficking bust: "Rashad Johnson out of Maple Grove. This is the most disturbing arrest that we've had here. He is a backgrounder for ICE, Homeland Security, and federal agencies."

This is Amalia. She spiked a fever of 104 in ICE lock up, a lawsuit says. Her oxygen levels dropped to 50% Officers stood watch during her 10-day emergency hospital stay. When she was well enough to leave, doctors said Amalia should go home. Instead, ICE put her and her mom back in detention.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Rep. Walkinshaw leaving today’s ICE hearing: “All of this comes from Stephen Miller’s sick, twisted, deranged Great Replacement Theory.” He says when Dems have the majority they will subpoena Miller to testify: “If he doesn’t he will end up in prison for contempt.” @pabloreports.bsky.social

Leavitt on Epstein: "We're moving on from that."

"If the government may simply seize *someone* without due process, there is no check on its ability to seize *anyone*." Perhaps the most fundamental check against tyranny. And it is gravely threatened.

Congress should set agency priorities, not the president. This is a presidential power grab. And we are in a separation of powers crisis. It’s part of the Project 2025 plan, enabled by the Supreme Court which has been packed with corrupt politicians in robes.

In his emails to Epstein in mid November 2018, Steve Bannon claims to have met up with Rees Mogg, Farage and Boris Johnson to keep Brexit on track and defeat Theresa May. Farage denies this…. But the facts are clear. bylinetimes.com/2025/11/19/d...

The wife and attorney of a man detained in Rochester last week say he finally has access to life-saving medication following a kidney transplant. However, they added that federal authorities are still not giving him the correct dosage or the full regimen.

We live under a cartoonishly corrupt administration.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

Must read reporting for @propublica.org by @micarosenberg.bsky.social, who spent weeks speaking with parents and children detained at Dilley about conditions there.

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

Breaking MS NOW: Some of the Epstein docs the DOJ invited members of Congress to view are STILL redacted, despite promises otherwise. Raskin says DOJ's reading room has just four computers. It would take seven years to get through the files in the current conditions established by the DOJ.

maybe you saw a pro-ICE ad during the Super Bowl and wondered: who made that? me too. here's an attempt to find some of the people behind it www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

NEW: The Republican National Committee (RNC) is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to dramatically restrict mail-in voting nationwide and asking the justices to rule that ballots arriving after Election Day — even if mailed on time under state law — should not be counted.

Ideally, in a democracy, we’d know who is spending millions trying to change public opinion on the secret police. But, in the American system, that’s just not how it works.

Less than 14% of the 400,000 immigrants arrested by the Trump regime in the last year had charges or convictions for violent crimes. It was never about going after the “worst of the worst.” It was always about terrorizing communities. Democrats must refuse to fund this cruelty.

They need Peter Thiel's name there. He's a major node connecting Silicon Valley, the Trump Administration (JD Vance) and UK to Epstein. Also Palantir...

Emerging from his viewing of the UNRELEASED Epstein case files at Justice Dept, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) says: "The Dept of Justice has been in a cover-up mode for months... trying to sweep the entire thing under the rug"

People. That's what they plan to "store" in those warehouses. People.

Trump is exploiting America's birthday to reward his donors. Donors who give $1M+ to a Trump-backed group organizing events for the nation's 250th anniversary will gain special access to, and can seek favors from, Trump himself. Everything is for sale.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Rep. Stansbury: “The United States government is engaged in an active cover-up of the largest sex trafficking scandal and influence peddling scandal in the history of the United States, and Donald Trump is right at the center of it.”

The EPA has reapproved the herbicide dicamba for use on genetically modified cotton and soybeans, adding “new limits on when and how it can be sprayed”. Dicamba is used to control tough weeds that can hurt crop yields, and the updated rules are intended to

Amongst other things, this again highlights the core point about due process. It’s bad enough to be in a “show me your papers” situation, but your precious citizen/non-citizen, “legal”/“illegal” distinctions are meaningless when you can’t prove anything to authorities because they don’t give a shit.
