Web extra bonus video: Apparently Trump has a problem with protecting U.S. citizens from being detained and deported? Watch: youtu.be/5SaDUUIQkHY?...

Walz: I think Kristi Noem probably should go back to South Dakota, not have any dogs, and just kind of ride things out

Insightful and somber, an important read. Thank you @itsalovelylife.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/heatherd...

Someone should make a tshirt, hat, sticker slogan that says: We Have Pretti Good Heroes

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

STOP THE PRESSES!!! Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) is concerned!!! (Federal agents are currently operating in a surge to the state of Maine, but let's not get all fussy about it).

Hochul, Ro Khanna, Pat Ryan calling on impeachment of Kristi Noem. MAKE Trump fire her ... and then demand he fire Stephen Miller who dreamed this whole thing up

DARVO: Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender. It’s a fascist strategy that the regime employs constantly.

This man is part of the agency that is leading the federal "investigation."⬇️ This stuff is even beyond George Orwell's imagination: Bovino in short: I am not blaming the victims. The victims are the Border Patrol agents. Direct quote below.

Another pet peeve: Under Trump, the term "diplomat' has come to mean unqualified, ignorant hack. It is like the way "patriot" has come to mean anti-American, pro-fascist bigot. Orwellian double-speak is the official language of the Trump Administration.

I have a lot of respect for people who work at the VA and I’m sorry they have to serve during this dickhead’s tenure.

"Separate analyses by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Associated Press, CBS News and other organizations all concluded that the videos contradict the Trump administration’s description of the killing." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/25/o...

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands…. Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

AND IMPEACH AND REMOVE. We need to clamor for that even if the votes aren't there—yet.

Federal agents in Minneapolis wrestled Alex Pretti to the ground and secured the handgun he was carrying moments before shooting him multiple times, according to a Washington Post analysis of video footage. Read more: https://wapo.st/4qGOx8M

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

DHS has been caught in too many lies. Don’t believe anything they say without receipts. Liam is an innocent bystander. His family is not undocumented. The Public Schools Superintendent says ICE used the boy as bait. I know who I believe.

For "One First," I wrote about DOJ's unprecedented attempt to secretly strong-arm a widely respected district judge in the Cities Church protest case—and why everyone, especially other federal judges, should read Chief Judge Schiltz's two letters in response: www.stevevladeck.com/p/205-chief-...

Holy shit. This speaks volumes about the midterms ahead.

NEW VIDEO: Donald Trump is telling us he is going to try to steal the 2026 midterm elections — and too few people are paying attention. Please watch and share. youtube.com/watch?v=DK8A...

Not a “paid protester.” Not an Antifa battalion commander. Not “bussed in from out of state.” A registered nurse at the VA who broke no laws and cared about humanity. Murdered by the Trump Administration.

Good Lord, the shooting victim was a registered nurse at the VA.

What's the plan, Chuck? I run a fake news website. You're the Senate Minority Leader. What's the plan?

I am doing my best to respond to this without a string of expletives. But let's be very clear. What just happened in Minnesota was cold blooded murder of a civilian by out of control federal agents, aided and abetted by the entire Trump administration and their fascist enablers.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

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.)

When I saw this, I thought for sure it was going to be a nasty attack. I'm so pleased that I opened it and read it. Please share open.substack.com/pub/stevesch...

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

How big is Greenland? Its so big it covers up 99% of the Epstein files.

According to Trump’s 36% approval rating, one in three Americans are mentally ill which sounds about right.

It’s time for the Supreme Court to finally issue a ruling on tariffs. The Court has already recognized that tariffs function as a tax on the American people. A president cannot unilaterally impose new taxes on American citizens that power belongs to Congress alone.

Trump endorses a primary opponent against Bill Cassidy. He sold his soul to confirm RFK Jr, and Trump sticks it to him anyway. This is why it is even more disgusting that these cowards are afraid to stand up to him. He demands total fealty but has no loyalty to them.

Ask yourself: If Donald Trump was intentionally trying to destroy the United States, how could you tell the difference?

A zero increase is just a start.

NEW: Jonathan Ross, the ICE thug who murdered Renee Good, was NOT TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL according to police reports. He was taken to the Federal Building. He was NOT INJURED. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Satire? or reality....

📌URGENT: Trump's regime is trying to turn Stars & Stripes into state-run media. I was the ME of S&S. It's MANDATED BY CONGRESS to be an editorially independent paper that reports ON the troops FOR the troops. So I type this with precision: The draft-dodging, America-attacking slob can KISS MY ASS.

I predict that Jonathan Ross's "internal bleeding" will have healed just as quickly and thoroughly as Donald Trump's "gunshot wound" to his ear.

What exactly do you call it when a killer gets paid for his murder? I think you can think of this as contract murder. 🤔

Everyone needs to be reporting this fundraiser. There's a link to do so at the bottom of the page. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ic...

Trump was flipping off every American citizen. TJ just got in the way.

Van Hollen: We are here to say not one more dime for Donald Trump's ICE operations

🚨U.S. veteran GOES ABSOLUTELY NUCLEAR ON ICE: "I've bled for this country, I've fought for this country—they're disgracing this f*cking country and what it f*cking means! They hide behind their f*cking masks like f*cking pussies! Get them out of here!" WE'RE LIVE NOW ⬇️
