BREAKING: Mayor Brandon Johnson signs an executive order he says will "set the groundwork to prosecute ICE & Border Patrol agents for criminal misconduct." The order directs CPD officers to document potential misconduct or criminal violations & "identify" the agents responsible. @wttw.bsky.social

One detail getting lost in the coverage of Don Lemon's arrest? The church at the center of the case has ties to the Christian nationalist movement, including the “TheoBros," a loose network of mostly millennial, extremely online Christian nationalist pastors, podcasters, and shitposters.

They had Epstein dead to rights. Nearly 3 dozen victims. He shouldve been in jail for life. They gave him a sweetheart deal that allowed him to keep raping girls while hopping in and out for prison for 13 months.. www.thedailybeast.com/how-the-fbi-...

I have a friend who would like to hep with food deliveries in the Seattle/Ballard area if anyone knows who might be a contact coordinating this? I suggested Ballard Food Bank to her.

You forgot to mention that he fucks little girls

Trump's name appears in the Epstein files A LOT. He is very much implied. Now it's time to demand accountability. Trump was always there, he participated in the heinous acts and he's lied about it. MAGA, your leader is no Christian. He is the very evil you pray to be protected from.

It's not the rulers that make America great. It never has been. The resistance is what makes us great. Keep pushing and never let up.

The IRS started 2025 with about 102,000 employees and finished with roughly 74,000 after a series of firings and layoffs led by the Department of Government Efficiency. Here's what to know about this tax filing season — and when you could get your refund.

NO MORE NOEM OR MILLER

Yes, and, if republicans refuse to separate DHS, then any shutdown is on them.

I telephoned my Republican Senators yesterday to express my frustrations with the corruption of the current administration, DHS, ICE, and Kristi Noem. I sincerely hope the evidence presented here affirms I was heard. We need to "drain the swamp". Everybody should call, it might be working.

If Senate majority leader votes No, the rules allow him to bring it back for re-consideration. Otherwise, the bill is dead and can’t be amended or voted on again.

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.)

I hope Georgia sues to get their ballots back like trump sued to get his classified documents back. But I think Georgia would win.

The trouble facing Dems here is the slush fund that keeps ICE and CBP fully funded during a shutdown. If we can pull DHS out separately, we can demand a clawback of that slush fund while only risking that DHS closes and not all those other programs that we need.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — A former Illinois deputy has been sentenced to 20 years for fatally shooting Sonya Massey, who called 911 for help.

The Justice Department is trying to intimidate Minnesota — but our Constitution doesn't allow the federal administration to govern by fear. We stand with Minnesota as they defend their rights, neighbors, and state.

“Everything I’ve done, I’ve done at the direction of the president and Stephen,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told one source who relayed her comments. Uh oh! Throwing the orange felon under the bus too? Very soon ,we'll be saying "bye Felicia!" 🙃🙃

The median age for a first-time homebuyer is now 40 years old. That should concern us all. The American Dream is becoming unattainable. Housing costs keep rising, wages are flat, and Donald Trump has no plan to fix it. When homeownership takes a lifetime, the system is failing.

WOW

just a reminder: if fire hydrants near where you live are buried in snow after this week’s storms, it’s a mitzvah (and a gooooood workout!) to dig out around that hydrant so fire crews can get to it faster if need be.

MN federal district Judge Patrick J. Schiltz says he will cancel ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons’s summons to defend ICE’s actions in court on Friday if ICE releases a wrongfully detained immigrant from custody. Hey…hear me out. Why don’t they do both?

"The court's patience is at an end," U.S. District Judge Patrick J. Schiltz wrote. "…ordering the head of a federal agency to personally appear is an extraordinary step. But the extent of ICE's violation of court orders is likewise extraordinary, and lesser measures have been tried and failed."

This is a good explainer why journalism everywhere is in the mess that it is.

I’ve seen him out at protests. All day yesterday he was busting his ass with lawyers to get those affidavits and the TRO filed which they won around midnight that stops the feds from destroying evidence. No one talks about it, but that was a fucking amazing accomplishment in less than 24 hours.

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

It’s kind of a recipe for disaster because you have these masked federal officers with very little identification, sometimes no identification, wearing plain clothes and masks,” Mayes said during an interview with 12News.

Here's an essay I wrote a few weeks ago, "Is It Time For Him To Go?" www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/is-it-time...

Immediate punishment for speaking out against the regime.

I feel bad for all of us who have to be good at our jobs when the answer is to be sufficiently white, rich and powerful and then you can just drool on yourself and the press will be like “audiences intrigued by his unusual communication style”

This man is talking about stealing a country at gunpoint from nations the US is allied with. Of course Europeans hate us. You would feel the same way if you were in their place. American voters put this man in power, he didn’t seize it this time.

In the President's big speech at Davos, he keeps referring to America's need for Iceland. He came here to ask for Greenland.

GOP, come get your batshit crazy, demented old grandpa and throw him in a jail cell immediately. This madness is not sustainable.

A reminder how ICE treats priests.

These are fraught days for those of us who have loved our country through sunshine and storms, good times and bad. One does not have to be blind to the many ways our country has fallen short of its ideals to believe that deep down we were somehow exceptional. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

NEW: Jonathan Ross, the ICE thug who murdered Renee Good, was NOT TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL according to police reports. He was taken to the Federal Building. He was NOT INJURED. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Government efficiency!

Yes!

The opinion is from Judge Josephine Staton, an Obama appointee. She was joined by Judge Wesley Hsu, a Biden appointee. Judge Kenneth Lee, the Ninth Circuit judge on the three-judge district court panel and a Trump appointee, dissented. [Corrected post.]
