Thirty-one known defendants have been charged in Chicago with non-immigration crimes tied to “Operation Midway Blitz.” With today’s acquittal, 15 of them have been cleared. No one has been convicted.

Jack Smith: "The people who assaulted police officers and were convicted after trial in my view and I think in the view of the judges who sentenced them to prison are dangerous to their community. Some of these people have already committed crimes against their communities again."

"Liam, age 5, was the fourth child in the district to be detained by immigration agents in the past two weeks, school officials said. "Two of them are high-schoolers. "One is a 10-year-old girl who was apprehended on her way to school..." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

Here’s a clearer video of the interaction between Raiklin and Fanone. Stay til the end when members applaud Fanone and ask that Raiklin be reined in.

Ossoff: "POTUS called for this man [Mark Kelly] to be hanged. A combat veteran, naval aviator, astronaut, senator. He demanded his execution bc he stated a principle enshrined in uniform code of military justice. If we become numb to that we lose sight of how extraordinary our obligations are."

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines. This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

COHEN: Did Merrick Garland ever pressure you to bring an indictment? JACK SMITH: No

This is an important insight. Miller, Vance, and co see immigrants as the enemy, as the other. But they also see anyone siding with immigrants, citizen or not, as the enemy, too. And they want to make sure people see that aligning with immigrants makes you vulnerable to state violence.

"Children dying of preventable diseases is the cost of doing business." You are as much a murderer as Andrew Wakefield. This is genocide.

Republicans have "successfully" brought back inflation, unemployment -- and measles -- thanks to their Stable Genius. This is what happens when the government is fueled by ideology and hate, rather than competence.

"'Our operations are lawful, targeted and focused on individuals who pose a serious threat to this community,' Bovino said..." Again, Liam is **five**. Five years old.

All republicans should be outraged, but the majority are complicit.

Trump on NATO: "The problem with NATO is that we'll be there for them 100% but I'm not sure that they'd be there for us, if we gave them the call". We did get the call on 9/11. 26 NATO members sent troops to defend the US. Hundreds died doing so. It was the only time Article 5 has been activated.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

This is rejection. And you can’t spin numbers this bad. But Trump isn’t on the ballot in 2026, so Dems need to hang his policies around every Republican’s neck and make them own every single one.
