NEW: A federal judge said uses of force against peaceful protesters and journalists appeared to be escalating in Portland. He ordered sharp restrictions to DHS agents' use of force and chemical munitions. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social @natsfert.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Crockett: "Now my colleagues want to be the protectors of girls & women. I didn't hear them screaming this when Renee Good was killed in the middle of the street by the same people the vast majority of you just voted to give more money to. It was a lot of crickets, including about the Esptein files"

This woman has shown more courage than the nominal leaders of the Democratic Party.

Garcia: I want to remind the American public of Stephen Miller. There's probably no single person in this government that has done more damage and more harm to people across this country than this man right here. It's our job to hold him responsible

Yeah, no, you weren't found innocent. The cases were dropped because you won an election.

Trump can be heard still complaining about Kaitlan Collins not smiling as reporters are ushers out of the Oval Office

he is so guilty omg

I know we’ve gotten used to it, but this type of behavior is disgusting and people should speak up about it

Casar holds a 3 minute and 26 second moment of silence to represent the time in which DHS officers let Renee Good bleed out after she was shot

NEWSMAX 2: Did you ever ask your staff to make those late night liquor runs? NANCY MACE: Absolutely not. I go to bed very early. I'm almost 50. I'm in bed by 9. No one has been over to my house after midnight. Haha. Like, these things are provably false if you looked at my security system

Nancy Mace: "I had to come out with a genetic condition I've had all my life. I'm not allowed to drink or consume much in the way of alcohol. It's called hemochromatosis. If you do, it'll destroy your organs and you'll die at an early age, and I love life."

Is it just me or does it feel like the 'ushers' are on a hair trigger of late, lunging in front of the cameras to rescue Trump whenever he starts doing a dementia.

Nothing even remotely like the modern system of tightly restricted international borders existed in biblical times.

True mad king shit tonight. The after-midnight post is like someone fed him after midnight and he turned into a crazed gremlin.

BERNIE SANDERS: Do vaccines cause autism? BHATTACHARYA: I do not believe that the measles vaccine causes autism SANDERS: Nah. Uh uh. I didn't ask measles. Do vaccines cause autism? BHATTACHARYA: I have not seen a study that suggests any single vaccine causes autism

Finally, Judge Reyes gets to the Equal Protection claim and makes it clear; there is just no possible way you can look at Trump saying racist things against Haitians for years in a row, including specifically about Haitian TPS-Holders, and not draw a line from point A to point B.

Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever. Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."

The GOP is outraged that Jack Smith, with judicial search warrants, accessed the phone records of half a dozen GOP Senators who Trump and his people called on or around J6. Meanwhile, DHS is doing the same thing to thousands, or 10s of thousands, of people right now, without a real warrant.

Horrifying and unnerving. DHS sent an administrative subpoena to Google for this retiree's records and even sent armed agents out to his house for the "offense" of writing the following completely anodyne email to a federal prosecutor using an email address he found via Google.

Yup; Lewandowski runs DHS for Noem, it’s widely known.

MeidasTouch sent a reporter to look for waste, fraud, and abuse behind the Melania movie. Here’s what we found.

Apparently morale at DOJ is so low that line attorneys are asking to be held in contempt so they can get some sleep yikes

Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

DOJ doesn't want Marimar Martinez to have the ability to release texts from her shooter Charles Exum, bc it might further "sully" him. I mean, DHS is still calling her a terrorist and he called her a bitch before he shot her. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Marimar Martinez talks about being shot by CBP: “My arms, legs, and chest were all wrapped in bandages. I had 7 bullet holes in my body. I remember the agents rushing the nurses to finish up so they could take me with them.”

As I said the other day,

This is one of the school superintendents in a western district of the Twin Cities. She and school board members are being followed and intimated. This has nothing to do with immigration. It’s about creating fear.

Trump and the exploitative personality disorders running this adm and our federal government cause much more damage and harm to our society than ever could the “danger of immigrants,” their fabricated fear mongering and justification for power and control. Inescapable self-sabotaging pathology.

Todd Blanche told everybody last weekend he didn’t know how she ended up there.

This event did not happen so hard that it has created an unreality vortex of staggering magnitude, obliterating several major world events that *did* happen. As of 10am eastern standard, we’ve lost the Kennedy assassination and the 1917 epidemic of Spanish Flu.

Sen Chris Murphy: 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

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Happy Tuesday! Today's sunrise was a study in texture and layers from the top sky all the way down to the reflecting sun on the frozen snow over the dunes, with a wave splash for good measure. Tap for full size, particularly because it's a vertical. I hope you have a great day!

Trump says he worries about "nuclear" as the world's biggest problem, but he's letting the last major arms treaty - one even the Russians want - lapse. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

To give a sense of how different America is, in 1933 the Nazis felt the need to purge only 6% of judges and prosecutors. The rest conformed to the dictates of the regime. Without the veneer of legality, the Trump administration must accept limits to its power or risk open oppression.

MSNBC broadcasts body cam footage of the FBI raid at the Fulton County elections office

Forgive me, Jesus, because I genuinely deeply enjoy how perpetually unhappy and desolate these losers are.

One of the things bothering me about how people are responding to the Epstein files is that there are tons of conspiracies being created and spread about what’s in them, rather than people just believing the victims like they could have been doing for years now

A manager for the Immigrant Defense Network told MPR News that back in November, 2,500 people were trained as constitutional observers. Now, the total is nearly 30,000 trained observers in 77 of Minnesota's 87 counties.

It’s never too early in the day for a nap. 💤

BREAKING: Trump team to start “daily” meetings to focus on prosecuting his political adversaries, according to CNN Looks like Susie Wiles’ efforts to “limit” Trump’s focus on retribution has failed spectacularly. www.cnn.com/2026/02/02/p...

“Are you listening, America? If you live in one of these 14 Blue States, Trump is threatening…to hold you hostage — possibly endangering millions upon millions of American lives — unless your leaders let him do what he did in Minnesota.” www.defiance.news/p/do-you-liv...

I haven't seen many Tufted Titmice in Central Park this winter, but happily, there are a few. Here's one hopping along a rescue ladder in the Loch. So cute! ❤️❤️❤️ #Titmouse #CentralPark #birding

Since the Trump administration was eager to prosecute journalists who covered an ICE protest in a church, the administration will surely be rushing to prosecute the ICE agents who invaded this Methodist church and disrupted a church event.
