Elizabeth, a 10-year-old Minnesota girl, spent a month detained at the ICE facility in Dilley, TX before her release last night w/ her mom. Dilley now has a measles outbreak and hundreds of other kids remain detained. Elizabeth has flu-like symptoms and her mom has hives, a school official told me

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump 187 million dollars and his top Middle East envoy 31 million dollars. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent.

Trump's claim that "for the last 9 months NOBODY has come into our country illegally" is flatly false. Border Patrol has recorded hundreds of thousands of encounters in the past 9 months. Illegal crossings didn’t stop. They’re tracked monthly by DHS. He lied..again.

Watch closely: Donald Trump is plotting to rig the midterms. In just the past 2 weeks, his AG demanded that Minnesota turn over voter rolls, his DNI raided 2020 election ballots in Georgia, & he called to 'nationalize' our elections. We must mobilize to protect our democracy.

SEN. @hickenlooper.senate.gov : “Death cards left behind by ICE agents — cards with white supremacist history left in detained immigrants' abandoned cars… Imagine finding your brother's empty car with one of these in the driver's seat. Cruelty for the sake of cruelty." (H/T @lulacorg.bsky.social )

Epstein preyed in Florida, Trump was there, and so was Bondi as AG of Florida. Alex Acosta gave Epstein a deal no one should get. Years later, Trump rewards them both. Acosta given a cabinet post. Bondi made AG. Bondi now refuses to release any files that incriminate Trump.

Now that Elon Musk has been exposed in the Epstein files for writing to Epstein and asking, “What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?”, noooow Musk says the Epstein files are "just a distraction".

Breaking Axios: Kristi Noem's language that Alex Pretti wanted to "massacre" federal agents was dictated to Noem and her department by the man most responsible for the controversial operation: Stephen Miller. That's according to four sources who spoke to Axios. www.axios.com/2026/01/27/t...

trump has turned America into a full-blown shithole country.

FWIW, I think it’s important to distinguish two claims: (1) All we need to do is to give ICE/CBP officers better training (clearly false), and (2) It’s worth noting that many of them are badly trained, in part because that makes it much more likely that people will be harmed (true, imho.)

The Washington Post gave me my first newsroom job. And I’ve been a daily print subscriber for 8 years. Every morning, I open the door and reach down for the Post. My husband and kid read the headlines over oatmeal. Its reporting is intertwined with our daily lives. This feels like a gut punch.

This is an important reminder for bird lovers but it's also why I just won't have non-stick cookware in my house at all.

Just a reminder that the paper is owned by one of the wealthiest men in the world who recently paid $40 million to distribute a documentary about the first lady.

ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month. Statement from Standing Rock:

Murder. Shot in the back three times. Don’t turn away. Please share.

I'm old enough to remember when Carter had to sell his peanut farm to avoid the appearance of conflict of interest.

🚨PA Residents: be aware of Stacy Garrity, an election denier, a supporter of RFK Jr., & now planning a run for PA Governor. Stay informed, spread the word. Take a listen!👇🏼 #pablue #pinks

Stocks sank badly on Wall Street after Trump threatened to hit eight European countries with new tariffs as tensions escalate over his attempts to assert American control over Greenland. The S&P 500 fell 2.1% Tuesday, its biggest drop since October. 📉

ST. PAUL MAYOR: “We’ve received reports of ICE officers going door to door asking where the Asian people live… I myself have received advice to carry my passport with me because they may target me based on what I look like.”

Air raid siren 🚨 in Kyiv 😾 Ballistics threat Again I'm still on my way to the office

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump has granted clemency to Rep. Steve Womak’s (R-AR) son who was in prison for dealing meth. MAGA: Don’t ever tell me anything Trump has done in the Caribbean or elsewhere has ever been about drugs.

Trump is texting his threats about Greenland to the Prime Minister of Norway. That should be discoverable material for his eventual impeachment. www.regjeringen.no/en/whats-new...

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

Everybody knows Franz Kafka, but almost no one knows his sister Ottla. She was gassed on arrival at Auschwitz on Oct 7, 1943 after volunteering to escort a group of orphans from the Terezin ghetto so they wouldn’t be afraid.

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

BREAKING: Statement by Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom:

The new directive asks USDA workers in the agency’s research arm to use Google to check the backgrounds of all foreign nationals collaborating with its scientists. The names of flagged scientists are being sent to national security experts at the agency, according to records reviewed by ProPublica.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

The pardons came about after the daughter of one of the defendants gave $2.5 million to MAGA Inc. on Dec. 31, 2024, and another $1 million donation in late July... www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

I know in my heart that the Siege of Minneapolis will go down as one of the biggest political blunders/grossest abuses of federal power in American history. Just a matter how long that consensus takes. Next week? Next year? Next decade?

Since taking office, Trump has canceled or halted enforcement actions against 166 corporations accused of illegal conduct. At least a third of those companies have close ties to his administration, including over 30 that have donated to Trump's ballroom. The "law and order" president.

Just an FYI: my Get Out the Vote efforts do not belie the fact that Trump will do everything he can to stop the midterms, and do not in any way intend to imply that voting is our ONLY cause of action, or that we must do nothing until we vote. Despite Trump's efforts, we still need to vote.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

They REDUCED the "training" to 8 weeks according to the internet, but come on...do you REALLY think that this illegitimate regime is actually TRAINING them? ONE OF THEM SHOT A FRIKKIN U.S. MARSHAL *ON HIS TEAM* while using a sidearm as a hammer, ffs! 🤯

The outage has lasted for 5h Preliminarily it ends in 2h I have warm water in my water heater, I try to save it I also don't waste our charging devices So I'm simply lying in bed in a dark room and reading on my mobile It's warm in the apartment I'm feeling sleepy but I can't fall asleep

“Fucking bitch.” ~ ICE agent Jonathan Ross, seconds after shooting Renée Nicole Good in the face at point blank range as he casually walked back to his vehicle, unharmed, and fled the scene.

They’re hiring goons, arming them to the teeth and unleashing them on our streets.

🇺🇸 MINNEAPOLIS VETERAN: "They are terrorizing the population, in Afghanistan we never wore masks.” (From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social )

Wait wait wait, while Americans have to pay hundreds of billions of dollars in new tariffs, Trump is going send over $10,000 to each person in *Greenland*????????? This is a joke right ? www.reuters.com/world/europe...

I’ve watched the video of today’s ICE shooting in Minneapolis. Independent footage and statements from local officials indicate the woman was not threatening agents, was attempting to drive away, and no officer was run over, directly contradicting President Trump’s claim of self-defense.

"Meanwhile, witnesses said a doctor was at the scene and tried to help the woman who had been shot, but the ICE agents refused to let the doctor in to help. Up to 15 minutes later, an ambulance arrived but was blocked by ICE vehicles that had occupied the street." www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot. That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

President Donald Trump is moving to block states from erasing medical debt from credit reports, reversing consumer protections and keeping millions burdened by bills they can’t afford. open.substack.com/pub/theintel...
