and that Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie don’t have standing to recommend an independent monitor. In short, it appears the DOJ’s position is that no court can force them to produce the files. 2/2

NEW: The DOJ has filed a motion to block the appointment of an independent monitor to release the Epstein files in the Ghislaine Maxwell case. The DOJ argues that federal courts lack the authority to enforce the Epstein Transparency Act… 1/

Fears???? What will it take to admit the fears have become reality?

We've also confirmed the news that DOJ is probing Gov. Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey for conspiring to impede federal officers — prompting renewed fears that DOJ is being weaponized against the president's political adversaries. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Gov. Walz to MS NOW: "Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system … is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic. "The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her."

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Breaking: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey are being investigated by the Trump DOJ for allegedly obstructing law enforcement activities, two U.S. officials told WCCO. It's unclear how Walz and Frey allegedly obstructed law enforcement or what they were allegedly obstructing.

damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES Dept. of Justice lawsuit seeking unreacted statewide voter registration list. A big victory for our clients -- the NAACP, NAACP-CA/HI and SIREN --and the citizens of California. www.democracydocket.com/cases/califo...

Gov. Tim Walz said the state is creating a "database of atrocities" by federal agents against Minnesotans. The Minnesota Attorney General's Office has launched a form where residents can share information about the actions of federal agents in Minnesota: www.ag.state.mn.us/Federal-Acti...

Renee Good was found with gunshot wounds to the chest, arm and head after a federal immigration officer shot her the morning of Jan. 7, according to the Minneapolis Fire Department’s incident report.

LEAVITT: Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed? REPORTER: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably LEAVITT: Oh, ok. So you're a biased reporters with a biased opinion. You're a left-wing hack.

Man, they flashbanged a baby last night. What will justify a real response?

VARNEY: Are you okay with Trump invoking the Insurrection Act? JIM JORDAN: This is the president making sure that people are safe

Rep. Jim Jordan: "The people in Minnesota are trying to distract from the 15 year fraud scams that were going on. That's exactly what's going on."

Breaking: A federal court has rejected Republican claims that California's new congressional maps are unconstitutional — upholding the voter-approved plan intended to benefit Democrats in the midterms.

Trump threatened to invoke the insurrection act on Minnesota. These are meaningless threats. The city is already under occupation by federal forces. This is about scaring local electeds into cracking down for him and having preemptive compliance.

As promised —- empaths, go on an laugh!

Jacob Frey: "We need our officers responding to the basic day to day 911 calls. We don't have the capacity to deal with that and all of this conduct that we are seeing from ICE on a daily basis. Today and yesterday I was out on a couple major commercial corridors in our city. People are scared."

Look at what Trump has done.

RFK Jr is telling everyone to eat steak. People dragged him because they can’t afford steak. So Rollins rolls out an amazing $3 meal deal. bsky.app/profile/atru...

So now we’re down to one pencil, one toy, & one small stalk of broccoli. How’s everyone feeling? #IMPEACH47NOW

Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

“3 flash bangs at my car. ICE knew we were trying to leave. My 6 month old can’t breathe.” Trump’s goons terrorize a Black family in Minneapolis, to the point where EMT’s have to come help his child get away from the gas and chaotic dangerous scene (H/T @thejfreakinc.bsky.social )

BREAKING: we won! By a 2-1 majority, the court rejected the GOP effort to block the Prop 50 CA redistricting--successfully countering Trump's theft of Congressional seats We @democracydefendersaction.org were so proud to try this case for @lulacorg.bsky.social with Arnold & Porter & others

“The ICE agent who had pepper sprayed into the vents of my car said ‘you guys gotta stop obstructing us, that’s why that lesbian b—— is dead,’ verbatim, speaking of Renee Good. Which filled me with absolute rage and shock...” Via @jcollins.bsky.social's report buff.ly/6kapH0C

"The craziest thing I’ve heard": Transcripts of secret grand jury testimony show just how alarmed and exasperated a number of senior Republicans felt about Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. @richardfausset.bsky.social @dannyhakim.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

I honestly thought the war against Denmark would come before the war against Minnesota

Frey: "I've seen conduct from ICE that is disgusting & intolerable. If it were your city, it would unacceptable there too. ICE can leave & this massive deployment can come to an end. We have filed litigation to hopefully make it so, but I'm deeply concerned we don't have that kind of time."

33 former federal prosecutors in Minnesota are asking the Trump administration to reconsider its decision to exclude the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension from the investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Good by a federal agent www.startribune.com/33-ex-federa...

Insane footage from on the ground in Minneapolis. Trump continues to turn our neighborhoods into war zones. This is not normal.

MINNEAPOLIS — Hmong homeowners know their rights… randomly looking for Hmong & Asian families… a racial terror campaign, nothing less…

Frey: "This is not sustainable. This is an impossible situation our city is being put in. We cannot be at a place in America where we have 2 governmental agencies literally fighting one another. We are put in this position b/c we have approximately 600 police officers & there are 3,000 ICE agents."

🚨BREAKING: ICE unleashes ONSLAUGHT of flash bang grenades and chemical ammunition at unarmed Minneapolis protesters in WAR-LIKE attack. Several protesters struck. Our reporter @zdroberts.bsky.social struck in the head. "I got hit in the head really bad." LIVE NOW ⬇️

BREAKING: TIM WALZ: "If you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record." "Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans, not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution."

It could happen to ANYONE. And absolutely EVERYONE should be outraged by the abuse and cruelty we’re watching play out in our names. Our tax dollars are funding this. Citizens 👇🏽

“.. The price of beef has risen 16.4 percent over the last year. The price of coffee is up a whopping 19.8 percent. The price of lettuce is up 7.3 percent and frozen fish 8.6 percent.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/b...

Ok, so do something about it. Call up the national guard. Otherwise, this is just talk.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

The unlawful deployment of thousands of armed, masked, and poorly trained federal agents is hurting Minnesota. This federal invasion of the Twin Cities has to stop, so today I am suing DHS to bring it to an end.

Today, I joined with @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social & Mayor Her to announce a joint lawsuit to end the unlawful and unprecedented surge of ICE agents in Minnesota. People are being racially profiled, harassed, terrorized, and assaulted. It has to stop.
