‘Gang Stuff’ and ‘Illicit Trysts’: How Epstein Sought Leverage With the Wealthy www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

A judicial misconduct complaint against Chief U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg of D.C. was dismissed after an appeals court judge found insufficient evidence of bias against the Trump administration.

There is no indication yet that the F.B.I. is doing either. Whatever the Trump administration investigates, their determinations may not be the last word, since there is no statute of limitations on murder. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/u...

The Trump administration has repeatedly claimed that it needs to send the military into American cities because of the unique danger faced by federal agents. But, according to ICE's own data, the leading cause of death for agents is COVID-19. You can read the full report here: tinyurl.com/mwc85xf5

All 10 shots were fired AFTER they removed the gun from Pretti’s waist. Every single shot was fired after he was disarmed.

The parents of Alex Pretti, who was killed by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday, joined a chorus of criticism of the Trump administration over its response to the shooting. The family said in a statement that they were heartbroken, but also “very angry.”

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

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."

“.. Trump’s most profound break with American democracy, evident in his words and actions alike, is his view that the state’s relationship with its citizens is defined not by ideals or rules but rather by expressions of power ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/25/m...

Please note: As our colleagues at @stateline.org reported earlier this week, footage, documents have often been at odds with DHS accounts of immigration enforcement incidents minnesotareformer.com/2026/01/23/r...

BREAKING: Video appears to show a fatal shooting today by federal officers in Minneapolis. DHS says the man who was shot was armed, and a reminder, it is not yet clear who fired the first shot or what happened before the video was taken. A warning: this video includes graphic content.

“Federal agents briefly detained our reporter at the scene, who says he was tackled to the ground and had a gun put in his face.”

Interesting which stories don't get held for "a few more phone calls" www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Couple Says ICE Agents Gassed Them as They Drove With 6 Children www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/u...

Johnson: It is equally inappropriate for ICE agents to just throw teargas out of a window because people are yelling at them. It is unacceptable for ICE agents to go up and threaten to arrest and harm people because they are honking a horn or exercising a protest, that is unacceptable.

DOJ is still violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE: "No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested". "Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.” (H/T @marcofoster.bsky.social )

Mystified at how this is controversial Video: @esjesjesj via X x.com/esjesjesj/st...

After an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis this week, firing his weapon as she attempted to drive away, many are wondering: Can that officer be taken to court? According to lawyers, absolutely. "It is essentially a garden-variety, unjustified use of deadly force case."

‼️Raft of new Epstein emails that mention Trump. In one from April 2011, Epstein told Maxwell: “I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump.” He added that an unnamed victim “spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...
