ICE/CBP is following school busses now. My husband (a school bus driver) was just in an urgent all-hands meeting about it this afternoon.

CNN: A majority of the country, 58% say President Trump's first year has been a failure. That includes two thirds of independent voters. Now, why is that? Across the board, Americans disapprove of how the president is handling every major issue.

Let’s call this what it is: a disgusting abuse of power and a farce. As his agents terrorize Minnesotans, as prices rise, as he fails to deliver for Americans, he is also weaponizing the DOJ against his perceived enemies. This is not a banana republic and justice will prevail.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Experts like Marc Elias, Ari Berman, the Brennan Center, and Mother Jones have been mapping out how Trump and Republicans plan to cheat in the next elections. Over the next few days I’ll walk through those tactics one by one. If you see more, share them at plantocheat.com

Today, Donald Trump--the president of the United States and a man with a history of election subversion--said: "We shouldn’t even have an election" in 2026. While legacy media has largely ignored this story, Democracy Docket has covered it from multiple angles. Support its work. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning. I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

I am incredibly proud of the work my law firm did in defending toe California congressional map on behalf of the DCCC. Now, if you don't mind, I am going to enjoy a tall glass of GOP tears. www.democracydocket.com/cases/califo...

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

🚨BREAKING: The Virginia House of Delegates approved a Democratic-backed constitutional amendment Wednesday that would allow lawmakers to redraw the state’s congressional districts mid-decade, a significant step toward countering nationwide GOP gerrymanders. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

🧵 The autoworker at the Dearborn Truck Plant is a proud member of a strong and fighting union—the UAW. He believes in freedom of speech, a principle we wholeheartedly embrace, and we stand with our membership in protecting their voice on the job.

Frost: We must ensure that we use every tool in our toolbox, which includes voting no on the DHS appropriations bill.

It’s painfully obvious these goons have no idea what they’re doing. And they’ve learned nothing in the past week. Imagine going to a doctor’s appointment and all hell breaks loose. They cut your seatbelt, and yank you out of your car. Why is any of this necessary?

“The Most Transparent Administration in History”

A small, petty, insecure drunk who wears far too much makeup trying to run DOD from a Twitter account with a junior officer’s mentality in way over his head who is mocked by better men and women in his department for the fool that he is.

🚨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 ⬇️

These are absolutely monstrous people "Mr. Thompson’s resignation came after senior DOJ officials pressed for a criminal investigation into the actions of the widow of Renee Nicole Good, the Minneapolis woman killed by an ICE agent"

Under Trump's watch, a DHS agent shot a protestor in the face with a non-lethal round at close range, fractured his skull, and then dragged him around as he choked and bled. He is now permanently blind in his left eye.

Joe Rogan compares Trump's ICE to Hitler's Gestapo: 'Is that what we've come to?'

Joe Rogan of the left is Joe Rogan

I completely agree with … {checks notes, checks them a second time, and then blinks several times} … Joe Rogan?

The worker who called Trump a “pedophile protector” has been suspended. He says he has “definitely no regrets whatsoever,” adding: “I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity. And today I think I did that.” wapo.st/4sG38CD

Ansari: I think ICE is completely out of control, and there should be no more funding given to ICE. The funding that's already has been given to them through the big ugly bill should be stripped entirely

The Trump era in a nutshell: Ordinary citizens are holding ICE accountable, while large law firms are doing nothing. Small businesses are speaking out, while large corporations remain silent. Independent media show moral urgency, while legacy media reports "both sides."

Markey: This administration has proved time and time again that it is only interested in vengeance, that it lies and lacks all humanity. Today, six federal prosecutors resigned because the DOJ wants to investigate Renee's widow rather than Renee's killer

Gallego: "They literally murdered an American. What happened that day was absolute murder and that ICE officer should be in jail ... I didn't wear a mask in Iraq."

I am calling for the arrest and prosecution of the ICE agent that shot and killed Renee Good. I am also calling on Congress to support my bill with @jasmineforus.bsky.social to force ICE agents to wear body cameras, not wear masks, have visible identification & ensure ICE has independent oversight.

Where is the business community and corporate leaders of Minnesota based companies in speaking up? Why aren't the big law firms sending lawyers to represent the people being attacked? We are not at the end of this authoritarianism, we are at the beginning. And, sadly, we are on our own.

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

I’ll be on @11thhourmsnow.bsky.social tonight to discuss the latest developments in Minnesota. There is no legal justification for deploying more than 1,000 federal officers to conduct immigration checks in any American city.

Everyone knows if the victim belonged to the wrong Facebook group, then the armed goons of the government have every right to execute them in the street. It's called small government, people. Look it up.

Baldwin: I have to ask my Republican colleagues: Is this what they want to rubber-stamp for residential neighborhoods across the country? Thousands of masked, armed agents coming into their communities?

Trump is going to use DOJ/FBI to try to steal the 2026 election. My legal team and I will fight back in court but we all have a role to play. Tomorrow, I will offer my thoughts on what Trump is up to and what we need to do now. Subscribe to Democracy Docket for free to find out. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Horrible. Arson attack today at Mississippi’s largest synagogue, on Shabbat, destroyed multiple Torahs and left parts of the building in ruins

WATCH— @niallstanage.bsky.social : “It’s surely better for 🇺🇸 democracy that people protest a government agent shooting someone in the head than to be docile or acquiescent to those kinds of actions.”

Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

Video message from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KckG... www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/s...

Auchincloss: "When you have a badge & gun and you are interacting with a citizen who has committed no crime, the onus of responsibility is on you to exercise good judgment. Nobody watching that video will buy the argument that he had no other resort other than to shoot her in the face 3 times."
