ICE kidnapped 5 people from my community this morning. I don’t live in Minneapolis. I live in LA County. They’re still here and their still brutalizing.

Trump raided the election office down in Georgia so he could 1. Find those 11K votes for him 2. Arrest Fani Willis 3. Arrest and lock up Miss Ruby and Miss Shaye.

Oil proceeds are going into a private account in Qatar that US Treasury cannot block. The entire arrangement is grotesquely illegal and corrupt. Rubio's answers are dissembling. And we can't seemingly even get intelligent questions for him. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump’s fundraisers are now using the threat of dispatching ICE against citizens as an email engagement tactic.

This needs to happen at the very least

Doesn't appear to say unpaid leave, and they remain unnamed. So two murderers are on a vacation, is what we can gather at this point.

These members of Congress have filed a similar brief opposing birthright citizenship: www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...

TODAY at 4pm PT, I'm moderating a forum of leading candidates for California governor, all about climate change. Watch live here as we find out how Xavier Becerra, Katie Porter, Tom Steyer and Eric Swalwell stack up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsLc...

The administration can't have it both ways. When it's a question of bypassing immigrants' constitutional rights under the Alien Enemies Act, they say we're at war. When they want to dodge congressional oversight, they say we're not at war. So which is it?

This is just misleading. There is a big difference between saying state resources can’t be used to enforce fed’l civil immigration policy & local cops refusing to assist fed’l partners in an emergency. Deliberately conflating the two is disingenuous.

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

Six years ago, I wrote about how the media has been falling for Trump's "new tone" nonsense for five years at that point. So we're now... 11 years into the media falling for Trump's "new tone." www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

Of course. And that’s why Dems need to lean in and work towards dismantling ICE. First no funding. Impeach Noem. Demand hearings on ICE’s operation in MN. Demand that Miller resign. Don’t let up.

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law. The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia: tile.loc.gov/storage-serv...

After President Trump issued his permitting EO yesterday, I asked the White House if he would support supplement disaster aid for the Los Angeles fires. “Newscum doesn’t need more money, Californians need relief,” a spokesperson said. www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

Stella Carlson had no way of knowing that she would soon watch a man die — or that her video of that fatal incident would serve as a crucial counter to the Trump administration's initial efforts to paint Alex Pretti as a wannabe assassin or domestic terrorist. https://cnn.it/4riaBXa

Someone should play the video of Fátima Lucas Henrique’s screams as she was kidnapped by federal agents on the way to her early morning nursing shift to Sen Susan Collins wherever she shows her face. This is happening to Mainers on her watch. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/28/s...

This posted late so if you read it you will automatically be granted one (1) wish that is guaranteed to come true. It’s about Pam Bondi’s Minnesota ransom note and how Trump perverted the already perverted GOP claims about “voter fraud.” www.ms.now/opinion/bond...

Does this mean Texas gets invaded now? Or is that only after intrepid reporter Nick Shirley gets a scoop? www.fox4news.com/news/48-texa...

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

This is terrifying. Yet another way that the rhetoric from this administration (and dimwitted MAGA influencers) are going to get people killed.

This woman has more courage than every member of the Democratic leadership caucuses in Washington combined. And there are tens of thousands of everyday people just like her who are finding courage to confront evil face to face while our "leaders" dither and argue over semantics.

Governor Newsom, I’m asking you to fast track this bill. Our democracy is hanging by a thread, and accountability cannot wait.

Why not press ahead with impeachment anyway?

We finally got gun-control.

The U.S. has now killed 126 people in boat strikes.

To put it another way: Courageous jurists on the lower courts have held back Trump from inflicting even more damage on civil rights and liberties. This timeline sucks, but the one in which the judiciary doesn't even try to push back is FAR worse. We insult these judges when we dismiss their impact.

Simply put. Yes.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

We Are Witnessing the self-immolation of America Thanks to Donald Trump Authoritarians abroad are joyous as Trump has voluntarily chosen to destroy America's reputation, strength, & post WW2 alliances, ushering in an era of violence, chaos, & weakness. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

Welp, the Murdoch-owned @californiapost.bsky.social launched today. For anyone looking for the opposite of its cheap shot approach to state and LA issues, check out golden-state.org. It's independent and nonprofit, and brand new too. No billionaires are pulling the strings here.

My husband didn't know, so I'll repeat it here: Border Czar isn't a real job. Tom Homan has a fake job with a fake title. It also means that he wasn't confirmed by anyone in Congress. (Trump tried to confirm Homan in 1.0 but he failed bc Homan was too corrupt even pre-cava bag.)

"They’re trying now to use the power of the federal government to scare Minnesota officials into handing over voter rolls and backing down on their protective policies. Trump wants that state voter data so that he has the ability to interfere with the upcoming midterm elections.”

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

“Are we gassing our people with a cancerous smoke or something else?” is an insane place to be at.

Wow - this is by far the clearest video I've seen. And it's 100% clear here what happened.

Amazon paid Melania $40 million for a documentary about her....

Transgender patients of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles secured a win after the U.S. Department of Justice agreed to end its efforts to obtain personal and medical information of more than 3,000 young patients. bit.ly/49XPVwu 📸 J.W. Hendricks

Bovino openly says that we are never learning the identity of the murderer because that would be "doxing." He says he has already gotten the agent out of Minnesota's jurisdiction. He put him back on the job. He is part of an extensive, open criminal coverup.

For the umpteenth time, Brian nails it. House Dem Leadership screwed up big last week. This isn't "I told ya so." There should be some real reflection within the Dem Caucus about the systemic error in judgement that dismissed all efforts aimed at getting them to make the right call last week.

1. In a major new federal rule, Trump is attempting to attach billions in international aid to recipients agreeing to impose anti-trans restrictions. This includes social transition "at any age," attempting to export transphobia globally. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Read this beautiful commentary from Stacey Patton. substack.com/@drstaceypat...

The Gestapo leader who oversees kidnappings promises consequences for exercising your First Amendment rights.

A fully masked ICE agent in Northeast Los Angeles threatens an observer “I’m going to make you famous.” This after raiding a park where people were peacefully meeting. They want to kill again. They will, if Congress doesn’t stop them.

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...
