Always embarrassing @MarshaBlackburn predictably blaming the Nashville power crisis on DEI This person should be nowhere near the Governor’s office TN Republicans will do all they can to turn this situation into a way to privatize and enrich their friends

A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something “better.”

BREAKING: ICE has halted "all movement" at a Texas detention facility due to measles infections, DHS confirms.

News outlets reward the Department of Homeland Security for lying when they amplify DHS’ claims without warning their audience that DHS has been caught repeatedly lying, as shown by video and federal judges’ findings. Such a warning would be public service journalism, providing valuable context.

What is painfully obvious in these moments isn't simply that the person allegedly leading this country is a terrible human being; it is that anyone left still defending him, applauding him, justifying him, and celebrating him probably is too... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/no-good-pe...

NEW: EXCLUSIVE: I spoke with one of the anonymous tipsters from this last dump of Epstein Files. Trump trafficked girls to Epstein and Maxwell through his modeling agency. You can watch here, no paywalls. Ever. www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-e...

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE. Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is two or three days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

WATCH— DAG Todd Blanche 🤥 pathetically defends Trump taking $500 MILLION from the UAE, then giving them AI chips by trying to say the Bidens did it too A) Biden didn’t have a company B) The amount Trump is openly grifting is WAAAY more than they lied about the Bidens taking

Good reminder from service this morning (Micah): “what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”

ICE is assaulting and at war with americans. we are all their enemy. no other way to look at it at this point

Money in politics is destroying democracy. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/u...

I recorded this today, in Portland, Oregon, at a huge march to the ICE facility in SW. The crowd was full of cyclists who had ridden there in memory of Alex Pretti; members of several labor unions; and ordinary citizens of every age, including this little girl. So of course ICE deployed tear gas.

I saw it too:

Jeffries: "We cannot trust the Department of Justice. They're an illegitimate organization right now under the leadership of Pam Bondi and the direction of Donald Trump."

Ex-Prince Andrew tried to make this same argument. Everyone who went to pedophile island was a mega-rich elite who easily could, and in most cases probably also did, independently procure victims and commit sex crimes without Epstein's help if they wanted.

Blanche: "I don't appreciate it being directed towards Donald J Trump, because that pushes a narrative that is completely false. There are all kinds of people that are mentioned in the 'Epstein files' that we had to look at and run down."

BASH: Was this really about trying to make an example out of somebody who the president has sparred with? BLANCHE: I don't even know that the president even ever thought about Don Lemon BASH: The White House's official twitter celebrated his arrest. Just yesterday Trump called him a 'sleazebag'

Keith Ellison: "The president is openly promoting authoritarianism and tyranny. That is what's happening in America. Most of us thought we would never see it, but here it is right in front of our eyes."

Ellison: "Trump undermines Tom Homan just as soon as he sends him here, which tells us what? There's chaos in the White House. They don't know what they want. They don't clue as to what their plan or strategy is other than brutal repression."

Ellison on Trump: "That sounds like a petty child who will not tolerate any challenge to his massive and highly delicate ego. As he's wearing his fancy tuxedo going to whatever fancy ball he's going to, Minnesotans are standing in the 9 below weather fighting for our very democracy and lives."

Ellison: "The real problem with the case is not that the judge didn't understand the gravity or facts. The problem is there is no legal precedent for this. We've never seen a moment in American history where through force of arms, an administration was trying to bully a state into submission."

When questioned last month about his relationship to Epstein, Brad Karp denied any personal or even business relationship and said he knew Epstein only as a legal adversary. Guess it's time to call him up at Paul, Weiss and ask those questions again. 4/

Chris Geidner points out that Brad Karp had agreed to dine with Jeffrey Epstein the year before, 2018. 3/

Brad Karp, chairman of Paul, Weiss, settled with Trump only six days after getting Trump's crazy demands. No fight at all. The New Yorker, baffled, thought the issue might be that a Paul, Weiss partner had worked for Robert Mueller. But maybe it's all even simpler. 2/ web.archive.org/web/20251105...

Yes, this friendly 2019 Jeffrey Epstein email exchange is about the owner of the Patriots, Robert Kraft. But it's more important who it is WITH: Brad Karp, the chairman of Paul, Weiss. And Karp was still chairman when Paul, Weiss became the first law firm to cave to Trump's demands in 2025. 1/

“U.S. District Judge Fred Biery excoriated the federal government, saying the case ‘has its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children.’” www.ms.now/news/liam-ra...

Homan is not a 'good guy.' He is not going to Minneapolis to calm the situation. He's a thug and a crook who accepted a $50K bribe to illegally steer government contracts.

The universe didn't wait long to prove me right on that one. DOJ has now been caught deleting one of the documents that contained multiple allegations of rape against Donald Trump. Rather than redacting his name as they did with earlier releases, they are simply deleting documents.

Just a reminder the Pam Bondi's DOJ lies. That has been proven true in court. So, when Bondi declares that she has now fully complied with the Epstein Transparency Act, don't believe her. What aren't we seeing? Illegal redactions of Trump's name and those of his friends, "lost" documents?

The next time you read or hear some reporter trying to suck up to Trump by claiming that Trump "not not been accused of any crime" in relation to his friendship with Epstein, remember this page that DOJ just deleted from the database.

Within half an hour of when Deputy AG Blanche told reporters that DOJ "complied with the statute...we did not protect President Trump," DOJ deleted multiple documents from the database with damning information about Trump. Among those deleted were first-person accounts of Trump raping kids.

Trump's DOJ is blatantly violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act both by refusing to release over 2,000,000 records and by illegally redacting those it did release. The graphic below, which includes a key section of text from the law and one of many clear examples of illegal redactions.

At least some federal judges are still willing to stand up to the Trump Regime to tell the truth. Full opinion at: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

As ICE's actions have proven over and over again, their mission is not to catch dangerous criminals. Their mission is to deprive Americans of their Constitutional rights. They particularly target the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 10th, and 14th Amendments.

Just returned home from the anti-ICE protest in Portland today. A 100% peaceful crowd that the Portland Police Department (PPD) estimated to be "in the thousands" marched past ICE's Portland HQ. ICE, of course, responded with a barrage of tear gas and chemical rounds to suppress free speech.

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks. They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

A lot going on here. Watch the video first, then read MPR's account of what happened. The driver passes into a space where there is no law or accountability, but then out again when local police show up. Later on the police say they did NOT intervene. (OK officer...) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Constitutional crisis doesn’t do enough to convey how absurd our current situation is.

Usually dictators are more subtle about looting the treasury, because gross corruption is often a part of what gets them overthrown.

The Trump regime has declared the American people to be their enemy. They know the creation of a dictatorship requires unreasonable uses of force. That's why they tear-gassed a crowd, including children, in Portland today.

for real. So many good Germans moved into dead Jews’ houses
