BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote. The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note: Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

NEW: North Carolina’s GOP-led election board will send letters to over 241,000 voters whose driver’s license numbers or Social Security numbers did not match government databases. Around 98k of those voters could be forced to cast provisional ballots, which could risk disenfranchisement.

I'm so glad that Tulsi is in charge of hundreds of thousands of ballots. I'm sure they are safe

Darin Smith, a Trump U.S. Attorney nominee, is a right-wing extremist with no criminal or federal experience. He even *attended* the January 6th insurrection. Unfit.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The U.S Putin Presidency

I wonder how many in Congress grasp just how serious this is.

Well well well. Looks like they were correct. They just lied about who it was.

Newly released U.S. Justice Department filings in the Jeffrey Epstein case describe the financier as a “wealth manager” for Vladimir Putin. The claim comes from an FBI report dated Nov. 27, 2017. Putin is mentioned 1,055 times in the documents; “Russia” 5,876. ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/02/01/v...

This appears to be a very friendly email from Melania to Ghislaine Maxwell:

Of course this is who he wants….

This was posted in the new Epstein files release and removed about 20 mins later. Wonder why that is.

Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year. Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

Huh. This entire administration is an Epstein Island afterparty.

Whoa. This is from an FBI email with the subect "Re: Epstein - Cellmate Interview" Here are the summaries provided by the FBI agent.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that all four people arrested today, including two journalists, were Black. And now we find out the charge is “conspiracy to violate civil rights,” a statute rooted in the Ku Klux Klan Act. Sit with that.

DOJ has since killed this link. This is what was there:

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

This is testimony… 📌 Stella Carlson, “Pink coat lady”, speaks on the murder of Alex Pretti. “After the shooting, they (ICE) decided to just scatter and save themselves.”

👀👀👀

Brief summary of a wild scandal in the Czech Republic. In the meantime, Denik N is reporting that elite detectives from the National Center against Organized Crime are investigating, so Pavel’s accusations of blackmail are being taken very seriously.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

IMMORAL… This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, “I’m 5 years old.” An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.

I assume that Zerzan, the DOT’s general counsel, has no idea that there are two more words after “flood the zone” in that saying, or how appropriate they are in this instance. 😑

If they’re trying to eliminate witnesses, they cannot eliminate us all www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

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.

Statistic: 2/3rds of murders in Minneapolis so far in 2026 have been committed by DHS agents

Washington Post Tears Up Plans to Cover Winter Olympics www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/b...

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk. Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared. Well, here’s a link: georgetown.box.com/v/Vladeck-IC...

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

TODAY sat 1/24/26 !!!!! #ICEMurdersAgain

El Segundo at Main and Imperial spirited impromptu protest against the killing in Minneapolis this morning by ICE.

The Republican position now appears to be that you have a constitutional right to openly carry a gun in public, unless you do so while expressing a view that the government dislikes, in which case the secret police can shoot you to death on the spot.

Apologies, wrong link in the first post (there are two letters). Correct link here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... I suggest reading in full…it’s really something. The judge, by the way, is a Bush appointee and two-time Scalia clerk. bsky.app/profile/anna...

Treat the US government and ICE claims like you'd treat a Russian government claim after they've shot down an airliner or bombed a hospital. America 2026.

I was stop the bullshit around the Gadsden Flag. Stop this "no step on sneke" crap. Take some time and learn about this flag's history. It was created to oppose a king. What are we doing? We're standing in opposition to what is essentially a king! Don't let "them" co-opt this flag. Let's fly it!

1. ICE must leave Minneapolis. 2. Congress should not fund this version of ICE - that is seeking confirmation, chaos and dystopia.
