Dems should pay close attention to what Spanberger developed here: A forceful anti-Trump politics that speaks to people like grownups about ICE, grasps the political/cultural significance of Minneapolis, and doesn't shrink from defending immigrants and democracy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcN0...

NEW: We're there. The midterms really are starting. March has the year's 1st supreme court race. Primaries for Senate, AG, & legislature. Sheriff & DA races rocked by ICE. Special elections that may flip. Even a minimum wage measure! My guide of the *75* elections to watch in March:

I don't know why the federal government has declared war on my state, but this is clearly because their attempt to conduct an invasion was thwarted. So they're now retaliating economically.

“There’s thinking in and around the administration that the politics are a lot better if the Israelis go first and alone and the Iranians retaliate against us, and give us more reason to take action,” said one of the people familiar with discussions. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

This is not how the Security Council works. Our unaccomplished, inarticulate, unqualified Third Lady has no business there and it’s an insult to the world to send her.

NEW: WSJ now confirming my reporting that the DOJ is withholding at least three FBI interviews with a woman who told the FBI that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was a child www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

👀 "Trump’s ICE Is Quietly Stockpiling Weaponry—and It Should Alarm Us All. In addition to staffing up at a furious rate, ICE and CPB are acquiring a vast cache of weapons from private contractors, new data reveals. This will not end well—or anytime soon." newrepublic.com/article/2069...

To add insult to injury, before releasing him miles from his home, they charged him with possession of a “weapon,” his walking stick.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

BREAKING on MS NOW: The FBI has fired at least 7 FBI agents and support staff as a result of their role in Trump's classified documents. The people fired are said to have participated in some way in pulling phone records of Patel and Susie Wiles during that investigation.

They could have fired these agents at any time over the last 13 months, yet they waited until now. The heat from that Milan flight must be incandescent.

"SLOPPINESS": The Trump administration claimed that a man detained by ICE had a criminal convictions for marijuana possession in 2009. The judge pointed out that the man was 4 years old at the time. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It's truly amazing how much stuff gets tossed down the memory hole -- not even intentionally but just because the volume of sleaze is so overwhelming

Newsom keeps a pair for when he visits Silicon Valley

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

When I was living in Malaysia the bodies of some 30+ Rohingya refugees were found in a mass grave in the NE. General consensus was Malaysian police were in on it if not fully responsible. “That wouldn’t happen in the USA,” I thought to myself. It could totally happen in the USA under this regime.

ICE chase of a van in Newark ended in a multi-vehicle crash that hit several cars, including one with three kids (two 15 yr olds and a 12 yr old). Mayor Ras Baraka blasted ICE for engaging in a high-risk pursuit on city streets. #ProudBlue 📹: afrikathreg/IG

Really curious what the theory is for asserting executive privilege w/r/t intelligence (reportedly) involving foreign nationals discussing the President’s son-in-law. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

"The attorney general of Florida, James Uthmeier, said he had ordered the state’s Office of Statewide Prosecution to open an investigation into the shooting." Hmmm...a country investigating a lethal attack on a civilian vessel in the Caribbean by another state's security forces. Interesting idea.

Executive Order 12: "...bars immigration authorities from non-public parts of state-owned property unless they have a judicial warrant. It also prohibits them from using state property as a “staging area, processing location, or operations base.” www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Gift article.

Important thread and article by Greg Sargent about ICE and CBP stockpiling military-style weaponry. They claim they‘re targeting the “worst of the worst” undocumented immigrants, but it looks more and more like the target is any American who refuses to submit to the regime.

I suspected the Trump regime would use the "ongoing investigation" dodge to hide Epstein records that make Trump look bad. It appears that's what they've done regarding an allegation that Trump sexually assaulted a minor. (NYT gift link)

Any remotely real oversight ain’t going to go well for them www.ms.now/news/senator...

It does seem like the planes and the pilots of all the key power ministries (to use the Russian phrase) are being monopolized by a mix of boondoggles and booty calls of the Directors and Secretaries.
