Trump’s deployment of federal troops has cost taxpayers nearly $500 million so far — and could surpass $1 billion for the rest of the year. That’s after slashing SNAP and Medicaid, letting ACA subsidies expire, and gutting countless other federal programs. Priorities.

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

"Anyone who would denigrate the service of our NATO allies clearly never spent a day in uniform" from Admiral Bill McRaven www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Because from the beginning, the mission was based on cruelty. www.cnn.com/2026/01/29/u...

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold. It ain’t about deporting citizens; it’s about terrorizing a whole population.

Maybe DOJ should focus on the law it’s violating, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, instead of speculating a crime might have been committed (despite multiple ballot recounts) in Fulton County or declining to investigate two homicides in Minneapolis?

Since I'm pretty sure this administration doesn't realize this document exists, it would be worth downloading the 2020 Intelligence Community Assessment on foreign threats to the U.S. elections before it disappears, which includes the following finding: www.dni.gov/index.php/ne...

No parent should ever be denied the chance to bury their child. This is not enforcement. It is cruelty. I will continue to use my voice and oversight authority to demand accountability and a system rooted in basic humanity.

Public pressure worked. ICE has backed down on plans to patrol the Super Bowl. Thanks to everyone who raised their voice and refused to stay silent. ✊

Marco Rubio has many titles, except when it’s time to take accountability. He may be the Secretary of State, but Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are negotiating with foreign leaders behind his back. When did the Senate confirm them as our representatives on the world stage?

Putin just attacked and murdered civilians on a train. Yet Trump is mad Ukraine hit military planes Those planes are bomber jets Zorcs use to wage the Russian war.

Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state? HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

So, incredibly, the White House has chosen to escalate in blue Minnesota and retreat in Maine to protect a vulnerable GOP Senator. It's confirmation that Trump-Vance-Miller view ICE as a partisan govt-backed militia to attack blue America while propping up their regime. 1/

Looking at the mug shots Bondi posted of folks who allegedly impeded ICE officers... I'm reminded me of some of the iconic 1960s images of 'criminals' from counter sitins and freedom rides

A reminder that there are only two days left to see John Akomfrah’s The “Hour of the Dog” at the @artbma.bsky.social. His stunning film installation features many of mugshots of young - very young - activists who were arrested during the Civil Rights Movement. Mugshots can reverse the narrative.

Albertan separatists are even funnier when you realize they are complaining that Canada is too difficult to live in. Canada is too difficult. Canada. If you can’t make it in Canada, I’ve got bad news for you, the US isn’t for you either.

The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress "have allowed a hugely profitable corporation to avoid paying even a dime of federal income tax on their 2025 US profits."​

This is what oligarchy is about: If you paid 1 penny in federal income taxes last year, you paid more than Tesla - a $1.3 trillion company owned by Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, who became $460 billion richer since Election Day after spending $290 million to elect Trump.

At the very least, Senate Democrats must use their leverage to disarm ICE, prohibit it from using racial or ethnic profiling, end arrest quotas, and remove agents’ immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits. Please call your senators now at 202-224-3121 and say NO more funding for ICE.

Kristi Noem misled the American people and allowed ICE to violate Americans’ Constitutional rights. She needs to be impeached.

In Minneapolis and many other communities across the country, we're seeing people come together to peacefully protest and support their neighbors. If you're looking to get involved, here are some ways to help:

East German solution.

Hochul: The whole crew has to go. It’s a joke, so they should clean house, kick their asses out of town, say “we’re starting over,” and stop militarizing our streets with people who have literally days or weeks of training

Just name the country: MAGA Republicans are all in favor of invading it, if this is what Fearless Leader directs. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Opposition party doing so good that they’re gonna pass a law that exists already and tell us it’s a win 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Thursday said House Democrats will demand a ban on the deportation of American citizens as a condition of winning their support for legislation funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Cardinal McElroy: The Trump-Vance ICE killings represent a "profound moral failure" of the US Government. “The murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti have left communities in Minneapolis and across the nation grieving, shaken, and rightly outraged," they are “a profound moral failure” of our leaders.

A CNN video analysis shows that in the moments leading up to Alex Pretti's death, two agents' actions significantly escalated the situation. https://cnn.it/45ZiZ5R

Summer Boismier, a high school English teacher in Oklahoma, lost her teaching license after she protested a book ban. Now she is fighting to return to the classroom. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/u...

RFK Jr: "Mr President, we're in the process of implementing your great American healthcare bill." (There is no healthcare bill.)

Stephen Miller is trying to rig the election. His plan escalated from militarized agents terrorizing our streets to Patel targeting voter rolls in Fulton County. I introduced an amendment to stop the federal government from seizing election records or voting machines. Senate Dems must add it now.

In the first year after she was appointed to the U.S. Senate, Ashley Moody had over a million dollars in her corporate stock traded. All while she had access to insider information only Congress gets. That should be outlawed.

Trump's FBI raided an election office in Georgia, a state central to his baseless 2020 voter fraud conspiracy theories. Meanwhile, he's continuing to let actual fraudsters and politically-connected crooks off the hook. This is what weaponizing government looks like.

A U.S. Customs and Border Patrol employee was charged with drunken driving in St. Paul after a state trooper found him passed out in a car Tuesday morning 'covered in [his own] vomit.' Just one of many cases of reckless driving by DHS agents on mission in Minneapolis-St Paul.

We must unmask these agents and hold them accountable for their actions. Thanks Kare 11 for covering my bill.

More than a week before federal agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, different agents pushed him to the ground after he spit at them and broke a taillight on their SUV, according to newly unearthed videos. Watch here.

So this provides motive for pre-meditated murder.

#maga running over students protesting in Fremont Nebraska. They’re just such a peaceful bunch of dickheads.

If any 🇨🇦 citizens go to work for #ICE, they should be questioned upon return as to whether they saw human rights violations / participated in them. This should be standard practice for anyone entering the country involved in foreign law enforcement/armed forces. www.readthemaple.com/canadians-in...

Thank you Bruce Springsteen may more stars and celebrities raise their voice in solidarity

This is so unhinged

Was he actually approaching Minnesota as a regime change

One of the hardest things to explain to people who aren’t here is the very real feeling that we are in a war against the federal government. Not only are we occupied by unaccountable armed, masked paramilitaries, but we are constantly aware our neighbors might be abducted in the blink of an eye.

The idea that 39-something percent — one out of three — of my fellow Americans are ok with this epic disgrace of a human excrescence makes even his worst polls depressing as hell. (Read the article not just the headline) www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/u...

Admirable. It started with one person. This is leadership.

179 cosponsors and growing.  179 Members of Congress saying Secretary Noem must be impeached. No one is above the law.  I will not stay silent as people are killed, kidnapped, and terrorized.

The massive government funding package just failed badly in the Senate, 45-55. Needed 60. Zero Democrats voted for it. SEVEN Republicans opposed it: Budd Johnson Lee Paul Moody Rick Scott Tuberville (John Thune switched his vote to no for procedural reasons.)
