Here’s a useful reminder of what our federal courts SHOULD be doing to uphold our constitutional traditions:

ICE has caused enough hell over the past 378 days since Trump has taken office. Kristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. Unqualified ICE agents have been killing U.S. citizens and terrorizing our communities. (1/2)

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Harvard should stand strong. The law firms and universities that did deals when Trump first rampaged lost money and freedom, not to mention their honor. Courts have since ruled against the actions Trump took and threatened. There are limits to what he can do. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

Read the court order freeing little Liam Conejo Ramos from detention. Quotes grievances from the Declaration of Independence, which sound familiar, includes the iconic photo of Liam, and cites for two passages from the bible, including, “Jesus wept.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Credit Philip Glass, Renee Fleming, Stephen Schwartz, Chuck Redd and others in the performing arts for shutting down the Kennedy Center after Trump’s hostile takeover. We can revive it - and scrape his name off the facade - when he’s gone. www.npr.org/2026/02/01/n...

The MAGA right’s commitment to the sanctity of gun rights is a sham, subordinate to the Trump cult of personality. Limitless gun rights but only for those who support Trump. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/u...

ICE has dropped all pretense of “targeted” enforcement. Agents now told they can arrest without a warrant if they suspect a person of being undocumented - which with Kavanaugh stops they can do based on race - and they believe the person won’t “remain at the scene”. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

NEWS: The Trump regime has arrested Don Lemon in its latest crackdown on journalism after he reported from inside a church protest in Minnesota—despite a magistrate judge previously rejecting the case against him as unsupported by evidence.

Donald Trump and Pam Bondi once again violated the Constitution. They’re wasting your tax dollars arresting journalists — while protecting pedophiles and the murderers of Renée Good and Alex Pretti. That’s authoritarian bullshit.

Spy director Tulsi Gabbard literally lurking in the periphery and peering around corners as the FBI seized Fulton County’s ballots is one of the most chilling images of this chilling time. A trial run for 2026 voter suppression and election interference. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Bondi: "At my direction" feds arrested journalists. At direction of AG may be because: "Career DOJ prosecutors in both Minnesota and Los Angeles refused to be involved...The prosecutors believe the evidence does not support the charges." (per @kylegriffin1.bsky.social re @carolleonnig.bsky.social)

The arrest of Don Lemon is yet another piece of evidence that America is being held hostage by a criminal and a regime that could not care less about the 1st Amendment & the Constitution. In this 250th year of our republic, we need every American who cares about keeping it to stand up & speak out.

ICE is tracking protestors using facial recognition, social media surveillance, and more. Trump police state. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/t...

They won’t investigate the murders of Good or Pretti, but they’ll investigate fake 2020 election fraud. www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi...

Bondi’s letter to Minnesota Gov Tim Walz seeking voting records is a classic mob-style shakedown. My thoughts in Bloomberg @opinion.bloomberg.com news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

Trump and RFK, Jr., making measles great again.

Trump voters, without immigrants there will be no workers to care for you and no workers to pay social security taxes to fund your benefits. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u...

Trump and the GOP are about to learn that people think of tax refunds as something they earned and are owed, not something you gave them. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

White supremacist messaging posted openly on Trump government websites and social channels. No longer dog whistles. Just whistles. Believe them when they tell you who they are. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u...

GOP Rep Mike Lawler doesn’t quite see the light, but needs to act like he cares now that his race is rated “toss up”. Work on that resume, Mike, a blue wave is coming for your seat. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/o...

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Oregon said Attorney General Pam Bondi’s recent letter to Minnesota reinforced unease about how the Justice Department is wielding its authority in its nationwide push for state voter rolls, suggesting the administration’s campaign may be driven by improper motives.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Greg Bovino getting pulled out of Minnesota to terrorize another community is not accountability. At all.

Trump revoked a rule requiring more nursing home staff, after executives who donated to Trump’s super PAC met with him. Rank corruption continues, the Epstein files remain unreleased. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u...

The problem is that there’s an “immigration crackdown” to begin with. Send Trump’s secret police back to where they came from. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

All regime mouthpieces who have lied about the murder of VA nurse Alex Pretti must resign immediately. All DHS officials and agents involved must be prosecuted.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "I just saw a video of more than 6 masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death. How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?"

Filming federal agents in public is not a crime, nobody should be harassed or restrained for doing so, nobody should have their phone confiscated for it, and nobody should get the death penalty for it. This is supposed to be a free Republic, not an authoritarian police state.

What an embarrassment.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "To everyone listening: Stand with Minneapolis. Stand up for America."

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

Trump admin abandons appeal of ruling that blocked their “Dear Colleague” letter that threatened schools that continued DEI programs, race and gender related coursework. “When you fight you don’t always win, but you never win without a fight.” - Randy Weingarten www.aft.org/press-releas...

Outrageous brutality to suppress free speech. Doesn’t the Border Patrol have a border they should be patrolling? Republicans in Congress could stop this. They choose not to. Whether it’s fear or malice, they have to go. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/u...

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Trump makes the same “what ever happened to global warming” post every time there’s a big winter storm. Moron.

"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...

Not surprisingly, Trump is back to being as unpopular as when he lost the 2020 election. Especially big reversal in support among young people and people of color. But slightly less of a drop off among those the NYT identified as likely midterm election voters. We Democrats have work to do.

1/The law requires a judicial warrant based on probable cause signed by a judge to enter a home or private area in a biz (not an administrative one signed by an “immigration authority” ie a DHS employee). This is clearly unlawful conduct. ICE can’t change the law just because it doesn’t like it.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)
