Like her colleague Congressman Castro, Crockett says she will be at Dilley Detention Center next week. That’s the same place that blocked Senator Murphy — even though he provided advance notice — earlier this week.

You can't break up with me, I'm breaking up with you!

A reminder that just a few weeks ago the Supreme Court paused a lower court’s decision over Texas redistricting, which allowed the new maps to be used in this upcoming election

Delroy Lindo was absolutely robbed for Da 5 Bloods, good for him (and he was great in Sinners)

A 5-year-old preschool student was taken with his father by federal immigration agents shortly after arriving home from school, Columbia Heights school leaders said Jan. 21.

This! Is!! Not!!! Complicated!!!!

Ahh this is the real sign we’re in for a doozy of a storm in Texas

I'm listening to the press conference from plaintiffs and their attorneys about the Ten Commandments case. They are cautioning that a ruling will likely not be issued for months.

Senator Murphy says that he gave 24 hours notice before going to the detention center -- which he says has 400 children under 5 years old. He calls being denied entry "unacceptable and patently illegal" and that people should be fearful of what is going on there.

I just glanced over to this press conference and am watching on mute and he genuinely looks sick and/or drunk

He goes on to describe one of his officers being stopped when she was off-duty solely because she's non-white, harassed by ICE goons who slapped her phone out of her hand as she tried to record, only to be let go when she finally revealed she was a cop.

This is the same North Texas congressman (who represents a very rapidly growing and changing district) who quoted Joseph Goebbels at a congressional hearing a few months ago

Arguments in this case begin at 1:00 CT. The plaintiffs and their legal representation including the ACLU of Texas will also be holding a press conference after the hearing that I’ll try and relay.

1. ICE has STOPPED PAYING for medical treatment for its 73,000 detainees ICE has not paid its bills to 3rd party providers since OCTOBER and the situation will likely persist for MONTHS, a Popular Information investigation reveals Meanwhile, critically ill ICE detainees are not receiving care 🧵

This is one hell of a quote. European leaders really are running out of patience.

The movie Ice Age (March 15, 2002) is older than ICE’s age (March 1, 2003)

Keeping a running list of the verbs Dems use when discussing what should happen to ICE. So far: *"Dismantle"- Espaillat *"Abolish" - Thanedar, Pressley *"Reform" - Jeffries, Darren Soto, Robin Kelly ("a lot of reform, if not complete abolishment”), Moulton, Ansari...

Some more photos of this ICE protest in Plano, Texas. Do want to note that the crowd was very fired up despite it being a Texas cold (around freezing).

Just arrived to Plano where an ICE Out protest is taking place. There’s several hundred people, lots of signs, and a fair amount of honking.

Early voting in Texas starts in one month. Very curiously one of the biggest North Texas Democratic clubs (Lake Highlands White Rock) held their big candidate screening today and Colin Allred, who is challenging Julie Johnson in a redrawn congressional district, did not attend or send a surrogate.

Folks are about to learn a lot about the Eighth Circuit (the federal appeals court the jurisdiction of which includes Minnesota). It has 11 active judges; 10 appointed by Republican presidents (including four by Trump). And the one senior judge still hearing cases is also a Republican appointee.

The new Tomb Raider movie could be absolutely garbage, and I’m still going to see it to spite the loser incel gamer brigade

Rural health care crisis solved

Surely there’s enough money in the budget for more smoked salmon at breakfast #thetraitorsus

set aside whether it is legal or not. what do you think an executive order is, and what do you think the relationship of the president is to a governor or state secretary of state is? do you think the president is their boss?

It’s been over a week since Renee Nicole Good was killed, and the protests show no signs of stopping in Texas. Yet the number of officials calling for ICE to be abolished is small. Whether that changes is something I’m tracking closely for Signal.

This is who the the president is claiming is a paid agitator

The Mayor and Police Chief will be holding a press conference at 10:15 p.m. tonight. A livestream is available at www.youtube.com/live/IyGSmBy...

Let them eat a piece of broccoli

I'm at that right age of millennial where my formative image of Ross Perot came from Katrina Johnson's All That impression, which in retrospect might be one of the greatest political impressions in all of comedy (from a kid too!)

We are collecting information on terminated SAMHSA grants at Grant Witness: grant-witness.us/submit-samhs... If you worked on one of these programs, please let us know at the link! And please share with your colleagues. We need a comprehensive record of these terminations to fight back!

FIFA you might need to have a chat with your inaugural Peace Prize winner

“Challenged broad medical consensus” is a nice way to say whack job lunatics

your journalists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could they didn't stop to think if they should

Oh, I should note that I did *not* faint at this @jamestalarico.bsky.social event. But, I did load up on water and protein and will continue to do that following candidates on the campaign trail.

Hard to capture the full crowd in Plano (just north of Dallas) that’s here for a town hall with @jamestalarico.bsky.social. He says his campaign has shattered grassroots fundraising and has recruited 13,000 volunteers throughout Texas.

Just arrived to the Plano Event Center where Senate candidate @jamestalarico.bsky.social is holding a town hall. Line is snaking around and it’s definitely going to be filled to capacity. Early voting in Texas starts in just a few weeks.

All over this country in communities urban, suburban and rural people are coming together to denounce what they have seen with a resounding call to abolish ICE... so this timid rhetoric being parroted by several Democrats is so missing the mark

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

Tonight in Dallas there's going to be a protest against ICE at City Hall starting at 7:00 CST organized by the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression as well as other organizations:

Also, I am now back from my big trip to New Zealand. It was rejuvenating, but now it's quite disorienting getting back to everything happening here. Will be monitoring several protests against ICE happening in Texas.

Interesting, I was not expecting any of the Texas Republicans to vote for the extended health care subsidies but we had one:

This is *definitely* how you behave when you're trying to bring every resource to bear, rather than trying to cover up the unlawful behavior of your own personnel.

I am still in New Zealand and it’s rather surreal experiencing this in a place physically and mentally far away. That being said, the news here is clearly referring to this as illegal (more than what I’m seeing from a lot of US outlets).

Leadership teams at the New York Times and Washington Post are captured. If you want to stop fascist military aggression in 2026, you can't go to accommodationist or outright fascist press. Better off taking your information to ProPublica, Marisa Kabas or some other independent outfit.

Hope everyone is having a great start to 2026. I was way the heck out of my comfort zone in Arthur’s Pass National Park outside Christchurch, New Zealand.

I brought my reporter camera to New Zealand and was able to capture some photos of the friendliest pod of dolphins I’ve ever seen
