BREAKING: We sued the State Department and Secret Service for failing to produce records about how President Trump's Doral resort was selected to host the 2026 G20 Summit. The public deserves answers.

Memo to Kathy Hochul and Gavin Newsom: Why taxing the rich makes enormous sense https://robertreich.substack.com/p/memo-to-kathy-hochul-and-gavin-newsom

Last week, far-right streamer Nick Fuentes openly called for the mass criminalization of women and girls. “Just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists — all of his political rivals — we have to do the same thing with women … They go to the gulag first. They go to the breeding gulags.”

We ended the Republican majority in the Minnesota State House and made history last night.

Minnesota is grieving. But we’re resolved. The support we’ve received from across the country has energized us, and given us hope. It’s time for the federal government to draw down their forces and let us get back to allowing freedom, opportunity, and security – for everyone.

This is incredible. Sound up.

Frey: "In Mpls, we heard them say they'll end this siege when we hand over voter rolls. The DOJ is being used as a weapon. They're investigating me and several other local elected officials not because we've done something wrong because we speak on behalf of our constituents.

Jeffries: "We believe there should be a prohibition on ICE deporting or detaining American citizens. We believe that ICE should conduct itself like every other law enforcement agency in the country. We believe ICE shouldn't run around with masks ... "

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

I just voted NO on the spending package because it still includes DHS funding. NO blank check for ICE to continue lawless killings. Let’s get real changes made.

Yesssss. Separate out DHS and shut it down.

Major update: Alarm bells go off as Trump seizes Georgia ballots and voter rolls. Trump amplifies post calling Pretti a domestic terrorist. Liam Ramos, five year old detained by ICE, has deteriorating health in detention center. A major update: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Disgusting

We are searching for the woman in a red jacket who captured the ICE situation on video. We heard she was taken by federal agents. If anyone has updates, let us know.

US immigration agents detain two-year-old Minnesota girl: ‘depravity beyond words’

🚨BREAKING: Federal court DISMISSES Department of Justice's lawsuit to obtain Georgia's full voter file information for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Essentially, the geniuses at DOJ filed in the wrong court. Dhillon and DOJ are now 0-3 in these cases. www.democracydocket.com/cases/georgi...

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Blumenthal: "I'm a no vote on that spending bill unless there are conditions that require ICE to go to a judge, to get a warrant, as well as other kinds of constraints -- the use of masks, the non-identification, the unmarked cars. These secret police, totalitarian tactics need to be stopped."

Rep. Chris Smith: "The abortion pill -- mifepristone -- is baby poison ... we now know that the abortion bill -- we've long expected this -- is extremely dangerous to women" (this is a lie)

Rejecting Decades of Science, Vaccine Panel Chair Says Polio and Other Shots Should Be Optional www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/h...

It really is amazing to listen to a guy who faked bone spurs to avoid serving in the military denigrate combat veterans of our allies while also using “we” when referencing the historical sacrifices and bravery of our own soldiers.

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

They defied congressional subpoenas and suffered zero consequences.

AOC: This is quite a bit of market concentration. Agreed? CVS HEALTH CHAIR DAVID JOYNER: No. I'd suggest it's a model that works well for the consumer AOC: It works well for CVS. Health insurance gets a cut, pharmacy benefit manager gets one, drug manufacturer gets one, & the patient gets screwed

JACK SMITH: “I have seen how the rule of law can erode. My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it.”

Breaking WaPo: The recent death of a detainee at an immigrant detention camp in Texas has been officially deemed a homicide, according to an autopsy report released Wednesday by the El Paso County Office of the Medical Examiner.

Ted Lieu opens by reminding us that Jim Jordan still hasn’t complied with his subpoena.

A memo was released by ICE instructing agents to violate the U.S. Constitution. ICE told officers and agents that they can forcibly enter homes without warrants signed by judges. The memo was from ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons, was shared with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn) by two whistleblowers.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

HBO’s “The Devil is Busy” takes viewers behind the scenes of how workers are providing care amid Georgia’s restrictive abortion laws. atlanta.capitalbnews.org/academy-awar...

Deporting children with cancer. Using a 5-year-old as bait. Shooting moms. ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Federal officials launch ICE operation in Maine and begin arrests: “Operation Catch of the Day” Given that they undoubtedly knew the level of scrutiny, this would be subjected to, the choice of name is deliberately disrespectful to human beings. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

I just took a ride with Uber, and my driver is from Venezuela. He spent the whole trip expressing concern that the same shift from democracy to dictatorship he saw in Venezuela is happening right now in the United States. He’s absolutely incredulous that Americans are allowing it to happen.

Scenes from occupied Minneapolis: "3 SUVs ICE officers driving down 21st to 42nd street. The ice officer rolled down his window and took a photo of me and said 'I got you motherfucker'. I am just a home owner going outside to see what was going on."

California was just denied at the USA House. Last we checked, California is part of USA.

My favorite part of Judge Novak's ruling on Lindsey Halligan is that basically she's too dumb to disbar.

ICE shooting victim claims he was shot through door after letting cousin inside. "We were successful in helping my cousin get inside. ....I closed the door. And as I was locking it, I heard the shot, and that’s when I realized I had been shot in the leg.’” edition.cnn.com/2026/01/18/u...
