New, from me: Trump finalized his Schedule F policy, allowing him to remove job protections from career civil servants. The new rule is dishonest and unmoored from reality in its effort to formalize the politicization of the federal government 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/trumps-sch...

Legally here on a work permit. Arrested when he went to renew it. Not fighting his deportation. Yet he's been in detention 29 days. No access to a lawyer. Has been given no information about his case. Family inquiries also ignored. ICE only responded when local news requested comment.

THIS is why they don’t want vote by mail. Plan to get a mail in ballot, and then drop it off at the supervisor of elections or at a drop box. Standing in line makes people of color sitting ducks for attack by ICE

paragraph 48: "In Mr. Trump’s second term, Ms. Britt has voted in line with the president 100 percent of the time."

All true, but the mainstream media is also failing to directly say “data centers in space are impossible and Elon musk lies all the time about stuff” which allows him to pump his stocks!

WHO IS THE ADMINISTRATOR OF DHS?????

74,000 patients enrolled in clinical trials were affected. You don’t terminate funding for clinical trials midway & “order” patient care to continue. That’s not how it works. I can’t tell whether Jay Bhattacharya is lying or just showing off his sparkling incompetence. 🧪 archive.today/ooHj6

The US government is trying to make coal seem cute.

I love when the members of Congress - both Dems and Republicans - about things like whether ICE should have to use judicial warrants or be banned from deporting citizens like they're new. These things are already the law! ICE just isn't following the law.

Europe says Russia-linked parcel bombs were a rehearsal for burning U.S.-bound cargo planes in flight—an alleged 9/11-scale mass-casualty strike disguised as an accident—as Trump keeps praising Putin. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/europe-rus...

Olivia Dean? Who?

I was hearing this was going to be a wild story even before she posted this. 🍿

People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.

Speaking of Jeffrey Epstein…

4 federal agents pull over an elderly US citizen for the suspected crime of being brown, break her car window, throw her to the ground, then drive off after they find her US Passport in her purse. The Salem Police, when called, say there’s nothing they can do. www.salemreporter.com/2026/01/31/u...

The DOGE team led by Elon Musk has reportedly siphoned the tax records, biometric data, and medical histories of millions of Americans. Bypassing privacy laws to give an unelected billionaire our most sensitive data is a terrifying breach of public trust. #WhoVoted4This

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from yesterday’s Epstein files release. WHAT ELSE ARE THEY HIDING???

🚨TONIGHT’S PROTEST IN MINNEAPOLIS IS INSANE: CNN is STUNNED. Share this widely! “I've covered many protests… I've not seen a crowd like this before.” It’s 8 degrees. “It is freezing, but nothing, nothing is stopping these people.” This isn’t a rally. It’s a movement. @calltoactivism.bsky.social

“Doctors won’t tell you this, but you don’t need medication for a tapeworm—all you need is the natural power of friction,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said as he dropped to the floor, lifted his legs high, and dragged his ass along the White House carpet during a press conference.

Would be wild if everyone watched or even just played in the background the Michelle Obama documentary “Becoming” this weekend on Netflix.

Minneapolis described vividly by- Kirstie Kimball substack.com/@beyondbeurr...

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

US measles cases this year already exceed the total for the whole of 2023 and 2024 combined, and it is only January. Yikes.

By platforming Dr. Mark Hyman under Bari Weiss, CBS News confers trust on health claims outside scientific consensus, despite evidence linking medical misinformation to preventable deaths, illness, and public confusion. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/under-bari...

Since I'm pretty sure this administration doesn't realize this document exists, it would be worth downloading the 2020 Intelligence Community Assessment on foreign threats to the U.S. elections before it disappears, which includes the following finding: www.dni.gov/index.php/ne...

As tensions build with Canada, many young Republicans are expressing concern about their future ability to visit their girlfriends.

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

If the FBI can dig into a five year old election, why can't they process the Epstein Files and have them released? They are breaking the law by dragging their feet.

"Trump's deportations were popular until January 24, 2026" is one of those beliefs you can have only if you live in an elite centrist Dem bubble where you have a treasure chest of incentives to ignore the data. Yes, support for Trump has trended down, but it was already deeply negative by June 2025!

The Trump admin “has overhauled a set of nuclear safety directives & shared them w/ the companies it is charged w/ regulating, without making the new rules available to the public… The sweeping changes were made to accelerate development of a new generation of nuclear reactor designs.” 1/28/26 …1/

He's right.

EXCLUSIVE: These Patches Are Clues to Identifying Immigration Agents We built a guide to patches worn by ICE and CBP to help the public determine which federal agents are in their communities theintercept.com/2026/01/28/i...

We still don’t know the names of these men and they’re presumably still out on the streets.

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings. This can't be "reformed"

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

How many more American citizens are going to have to die? What is the redline that will get crossed before republicans in Congress finally say they’ve had enough. An execution-style murder in the streets isn’t apparently it? 1/2

NEW: In a court hearing for a TRO against the feds in Minneapolis, the plaintiffs just said one of their exhibits contains a recording of a federal agent saying "Well, this person is gonna have a hard time traveling from now on" after taking a photo of an ICE observer's license plate. 1/

Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

It’s wild they’re sending Border Czar caveman Homan to Minnesota to manage the situation… like he’s about deescalation.

These monsters are sick.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

Less than one minute later.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.
