Sen Ted Cruz is very sensitive to cold!

“Children’s food contaminated with worms and mold, limited clean drinking water, inadequate medical care among allegations raised by migrant families in court filings about conditions their CHILDREN faced in federal custody.” The “pro life” party popular.info/p/ice-has-st...

“They took trophy pictures with their personal phones,” a man detained by ICE says.

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

I've said repeatedly that I will not support one dime of funding for Trump's lawless ICE operations. The funding bill released today fails to sufficiently rein them in or ensure people's rights are protected. I'm voting NO.

the SNL cold open writes itself

As Homeland Security’s siege on Minneapolis enters its third week, locals are volunteering for patrol shifts, protesting in the streets, and keeping one another up to date in group texts. Read more from @scottmeslow.bsky.social in Minneapolis:

Blanche won’t investigate the killing of an innocent woman on camera but they’ve got all hands on deck for a church service being interrupted

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.

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

Nasra Ahmed was shoved to the ground and detained by ICE agents, suffering cuts and bruises to her face and legs Ahmed, a U.S. citizen born in Minnesota, spent two days in jail before being released without charges

The worst politicians in America are about to quote Martin Luther King Jr. You can’t quote “I have a dream” on MLK Day then legislate against that dream every other day of the year.

“I started screaming with everything I had, because I couldn’t even breathe,” 10th grader Arnoldo Bazan told ProPublica, showing where the agent’s hands had closed around his throat. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die.” By @nicolefoy.bsky.social and @mckenziefunk.com

It's clear that Agent Ross took the life of Renee Good. Which court can provide what justice is murky at best. @legaleagle.tv does a great job of explaining what's what and why.

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

How much more in your face can it be? "Why are you asking me for my paperwork?" "Because of your accent." "You have an accent too." "Where were you born sir?" "Where were you born at?" "Put your hands behind your back."

These elected Dems still don’t get it. @booker.senate.gov

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

Thanks to Donald Trump and his obsession with seizing Greenland, it appears that America is now in a cold war with the very European allies who came to the country’s aid following 9/11. Tell me if/why I am wrong.

Yesterday, these incompetent fucks were just going door-to-door in a neighborhood near my house at 8:30 in the morning. School buses were driving through trying to pick up kids, people were out walking their dogs, and people were taking out their trash cans.

“This city’s occupied. They’re bringing in more troops. This shit is wild… and Trump’s DOJ is saying no court can make them release the Epstein files. I wonder f*cking why… and I wonder why they’re locking down Blue cities. Get active.”

This makes me feel more patriotic than the national anthem ever could

NEW REPORTING: “Major brain drain.” “Unprecedented.” “Something is not right.” “An impact for years to come.” Sources tell us more federal prosecutors are preparing to resign after the ICE killing of Renée Good.

Secretary Noem’s leadership has been marked by failure, lawbreaking, and corruption. She's got to go. Congress should impeach and remove her from office.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — US judge rules federal officers in Minneapolis-area immigration operation can’t detain or tear gas peaceful protesters.

ICE’s aggressive and dangerous tactics do nothing to make our communities safer. Due process is not delivered with aggression and violence. I’m fighting to stop ICE from terrorizing our communities.

I think weird stuff will come out about fetterman too at some point. they seem like distressingly parallel figures.

We need to reform the Insurrection Act of 1807 for the 21st century. I have the bill to do it.

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"

16-year-old Arnoldo Bazan and his father were getting McDonald’s before school when immigration agents pulled them over. They slammed his father to the ground and put the teen in a chokehold. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” he said. Read the full story: https://propub.li/4qSnVkQ

Checking in on CBS News(max)

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center. Read the full story here: www.propublica.org/article/vide...

Can we buy the Ford employee a beer? 🍻

This perfectly describes my interactions with my Republican colleagues since Trump’s first term.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just launched flash bang grenades at protesters in front of federal building in Minneapolis—causing massive explosions. "It's terrorizing, this isn't the America I served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy," tearful protester tells us. WE'RE LIVE NOW ⬇️

There’s no bottom

Starting in October 2026, Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill will shift billions in SNAP costs from the federal government onto states, some of whom could be forced to deeply cut or even shutter their SNAP programs altogether.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Sorry but you must read this 👇 www.propublica.org/article/vide...

Noem says hundreds more ICE agents are expected to arrive in Minneapolis today and tomorrow. Please be prepared. Set up a network, check on neighbors regularly, know your rights, and have an action plan in place and ready.

Let us all stand with Chairman Powell.

WARNING to ST. Paul: ICE is going door to door with weapons drawn.

Also, by their own standards, the cops protecting the Capitol on Jan 6 should have opened fire all over.

Pennsylvania is likely to play a crucial role in determining the balance of power in Congress in the 2026 midterm elections, with four U.S. House seats expected to be competitive — more than any other state.

The Department of Justice's effort to gain access to you sensitive personal information continues. DOJ wants this data to be able to suppress the vote and subvert election results next Fall. They are suing 24 states to gain access. My law firm and I are fighting them in court in every one of them.

they've got Raffi calling for regime change. something has shifted.
