Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche needs to resign. He got the law wrong about patronizing sex parties with alleged child trafficking. He failed to redact names of victims & pictures of children. AND he moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security prison & got her a puppy.

President Donald Trump restated a call Tuesday for federal control over election administration across the country, undermining the structure outlined in the Constitution that empowers states to run elections.

Donald Trump’s economic policies are hammering the job market. With the government now open, the Trump Administration must release the jobs report as soon as possible.

These crimes must be prosecuted. This dehumanization must end. Abolish ICE.

Marimar Martinez, shot by federal agents in Chicago, testifying in Washington today:

The testimony was harrowing; you can watch it all here www.youtube.com/watch?v=UagE...

Abolish Ice. Impeach, Remove, Investigate, Charge, Convict, Imprison. And NO MORE FUNDING.

Whatever we are seeing the lawless feds doing on cameras in our streets is a thousand times worse behind closed doors. Abolish ICE. These concentration camps and the horrible abuses and murders happening there must be stopped. And we must investigate, charge & prosecute those responsible for crimes.

Good framing from local news here

Abolish Ice. Impeach and remove Noem. Charge and prosecute them all.

Congress should be working to protect free and fair elections. The SAVE Act would not improve election integrity — it would make it tougher for working people who can’t afford fancy foreign vacations to vote. We strongly urge Congress to oppose the SAVE Act.

The GOP wants you to think you do not have the right to be secure in your home from government intrusion, to own & carry a gun, or to state your opinion or demand redress from the government. The GOP wants you to think the Fourth, Second and First Amendments do not exist. Don't believe their lies.

Abolish ICE is the moderate position!

This is the authoritarian tell: If a judge rules against your preferred outcome, declare the judge illegitimate. If that mindset takes hold, courts stop being guardrails and become targets. Democracy cannot survive a government that believes the law only counts when it wins.

Thank you, Victor. I spent a few weeks on this. As usual, it’s always a negotiation with length. So a few other bon mots: 1. The admin has issued DOJ guidance to challenge state laws that would regulate AI www.wired.com/story/ai-sup...

France govt v. America govt response to child sexual abuse images and the weaponized dehumanization of girls and women. Could not be starker.

The story and the gofundme. When one mother was taken by ICE, another stepped in to donate breastmilk 19thnews.org/2026/02/minn... gofund.me/f5f801087

Monstrous. Abolish ICE.

Eugene OR, this is for you. (hey friends)

The government is claiming the right to compel organizations like Google to provide this sort of personal information without asking a judge for permission.

You were born to work, worker! Work and die.

WTF

We are seeing a new terrifying reality on a daily basis. Trump's DHS mob are killing US citizens, kidnapping kids from their schools and terrorizing hard working immigrants. Call your Senators TODAY and tell them don't fund ICEs terror campaign! act.seiu.org/a/do_not-fun...

Hard to overstate the degree to which DOJ's simple manpower bandwidth has totally collapsed, at a time when the government is being overwhelmed with litigation against its crime spree, because attorneys are quitting en masse and willing new hires are both few in number and wildly unqualified.

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

The law matters. This is an important victory for human rights. We need to keep fighting for these well-established legal protections and process.

"The minute-long arrest video, shared by [Jose Paniagua Calderón's] sister-in-law ... shows Calderón screaming in pain as a silver SUV drives over both his legs while he is held down by a masked ICE agent. At least three other officers stand around him."

The killer of Renee Good proudly RECORDED THE KILLING. Body cams won't stop this. And "training" just gives ICE more money to train its agents to keep doing what they're doing. Abolish ICE. Defund it entirely. If @booker.senate.gov is your senator, please call him what you think. (202) 224-3224

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

Good for them. This is the only ethical choice when your government wants you to lie or break the law or do something contrary to the code of ethics. You have to leave.

And today the Treasury Department told me it wouldn't expedite processing of a FOIA for the agreement allowing Qatar to hold the money because it couldn't identify an immediate public interest. To help out Treasury: It rhymes with corruption. It's also spelled the same as corruption.

Republicans love adding seats to state Supreme Courts! They've done it three times in recent years. This latest court-packing plan will shift Utah's high court far to the right and possibly flip rulings on abortion and gerrymandering. Democrats should take note that Rs have deemed this acceptable!

These are government employees. So our tax dollars are funding ICE to flash white supremacist cards at vulnerable POC as an intimidation tactic. Who is giving this direction? There’s something deeply sinister happening in this country right now, and I don’t think we can take three more years.

The corruption and secrecy of SCOTUS go hand in hand. Absolutely vile - as if reporting on SCOTUS is somehow not permitted or unseemly. Isn't it our court? Isn't it our constitution?

Extremely great news. This will help a lot of wrongly detained folks find counsel to challenge these ridiculous federal overreach actions. Actions which are not only unconscionable but also a massive waste of taxpayer dollars & a grift for Geo and other private incarceration companies benefit.

The law still matters. While I anticipate Noem won’t comply with federal law, Congress must impeach and remove her when she does not. And if those cowards don’t do so, demonstrators must continue to demand it until it becomes so politically unpalatable to ignore the demand that it must be followed.

Incrementalists take it on the chin again. This is why they hate Mamdani. He's giving up the game that people in power HAVE POWER and don't solely exist to beg you for $5 every day. He's ruining the Democratic Party by showing voters that they have the power to do stuff instead of crouching in fear

And many also had their names and home addresses and other identifying information published. These releases were intended to humiliate and terrorize. This was not mere incompetence. A full investigation must proceed.

They will absolutely try to steal the midterms and steal the next presidential election. Americans must be ready to make that really, really difficult. And we must be ready to re-make a country where this kind of rank corruption cannot take root again.

Really excellent piece.

Keep shining that light @propublica.org Democracy dies in darkness.

“All over my neighborhood we keep finding empty cars, the glass shattered into diamonds on the snow, the people missing. Tiny private automotive kristallnachts, everywhere and ongoing.”

Muslim university students were arrested and expelled for protesting genocide. Let's see if college Republicans get even a slap on the wrist for advocating extrajudicial killings.

Trump admitted on Thursday evening that his administration is “not at all” deescalating its immigration raids in Minneapolis, confirming that his administration’s pledges to do so were lies, just hours after Senate Democrats folded on negotiations to prevent a government shutdown.

Like Octavia E. Butler told herself, “We don’t have to wait for anything at all. What we have to do is start.”

"A 2-year-old boy was breastfeeding in detention. One 6-year-old boy had leukemia. An 8-year-old girl began wetting the bed. A 14-year-old girl engaged in self-harm...None of these children or their parents had a criminal history anywhere in the world." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/o...

Earlier this afternoon/evening at the Ice Out of Portland March. Kids got teargassed here yesterday and it was great to see the Portland community show up and present a united front for immigrants and families. “Revoke the Permit” City!
