I learn from their website that Gallup is proud of all the contracts they have with many federal agencies. thehill.com/homenews/med...

BS from Gallup. Very disappointing. thehill.com/homenews/med...

Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years thehill.com/homenews/med...

Friends, tomorrow the House of Representatives will be voting on a resolution that would insulate Trump’s abuse of emergency powers to inflict tariffs on us, by extending until July the time that the House cannot hold a vote to end the so-called emergency. Call your reps and urge them to vote NO.

I've read through the GOP's new 'SAVE America Act' which will be voted on next week in the House. It requires both proof of citizenship to register to vote - AND - proof of citizenship to vote. Nerdy thread 1/

President watchers among academics and journalists are not to far off in claiming that second-term presidents as motivated primarily by concern for their legacy. They never had this character in mind. www.cnn.com/2026/02/05/p...

Trump's America. Checkpoints on the way to work.

What followed from Judge Ana C. Reyes for the District of Columbia was a literary and legal masterpiece using Noem’s own vicious racism against her in a case challenging the revocation of TPS status for hundreds of thousands of Haitians refugees open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

This chart seems to suggest a striking pattern: Kevin Warsh's speeches are consistently hawkish, except when Trump is President and about to appoint a new Fed Chair. www.economist.com/finance-and-...

@housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov Cams, masks, agent IDs, judicial warrants, sensitive locations, code of conduct, training. OK, but NOT ENOUGH.

New article, w/ my colleagues in Econ! We randomized the type of instrument and timing at which student evaluations are solicited to see if either could make the feedback we got more representative of the student body. In one important way, we find that it can 👇 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

It’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov Cams, masks, agent IDs, judicial warrants, sensitive locations, code of conduct, training. OK, but NOT ENOUGH.

Masked thugs on the streets. Measles outbreaks across the nation. Blatant government corruption. Coverup of group of elite sex offenders. Ruling party trying to rig elections. Leader building grandiose monuments to himself. Collapse of remnants of nonpartisan civil service. Third world America.

Support Ukraine!

From FB regarding Pizza Luce in Minnesota. I like it when I can do something to help people displaced by ICE and then after I do that thing I get to eat a pizza.

"Tillis says no way [Repubs] get the 60 votes they need to bring Warsh’s nomination to the Senate floor w/o Tillis’ support in committee." 60? Oh, okay. While only a simple majority is needed for cloture on a nomination, if the cmte won't report it, 60 are ~needed to get it to the floor.* 1/

Homan's statements are not enough. Where's the president's statement to undue the harm *he* has done? Trump and the people populating DHS agencies cannot be trusted. Senate Ds must proceed with meaningful reforms and constraints on DHS.

Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules

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

Collins should help her party--insist on separating DHS approps from the other five bills.

Support Ukraine!

Homan to MN, Trump speaks with Walz, Leavitt marginally distances Trump from Noem—all show Trump’s feeling a little heat. But these gestures mean as much as Putin suggesting he’s changed and wants peace with Ukraine. Don’t fall for it. Insist: ICE and CBP off the streets of Minnesota.

On a press call, @gallego.senate.gov says that he's heard ICE escalation in Phoenix is "going to happen"

Lest we forget: On Sat night, as Minnesotans braved Arctic cold to honor Alex Pretti and demand that ICE/CBP leave their state... ...Tim Cook was at the White House for "friends and family" premiere of payola-based 'Melania' movie. Also Andy Jassy, Amazon CEO. Bezos was at fashion show in Paris.

just fwiw folks a little Occam's Razoring here: r/TikTok is complaining about a ton of bugs and server issues today

Senate Ds on conference call at 6 EST Sunday. Senate Rs need to be motivated, too. Contact your senators now.

Bondi is the appointed and confirmed Attorney General. That means the official policy of the US DOJ is to use militarized law enforcement to harass, arrest, kidnap, and kill innocent civilians in an effort to force a state government to comply with federal policy demands.

Damn, son...

@schumer.senate.gov must do more than vote no on passing the DHS approps bill. He must mobilize his Ds to prevent consideration of the bill. He must formulate demands for immediate changes in DHS structure, size, and behavior. He must insist on observing court orders.
