ICE AGENTS ARE FOLLOWING OBSERVERS TO THEIR HOMES. THEY ARE DOING THE EXACT SHIT JOHNSON SAYS IS INTOLERABLE!

what

always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

I find the apathy about Trump’s wholesale corruption - by US and overseas institutions- among the most perturbing indicators about our current era.

it’s honestly impressive how personally repulsive he must be

guy whos taking a wait and see attitude towards the human warehouses ice is building

oooh

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

This is on Musk and he should be held accountable.

NEW: An immigration court has terminated removal proceedings against Tufts doctoral student Rümeysa Öztürk, finding that DHS did not meet its burden of establishing that she was removable, her lawyers tell the Second Circuit. live-awp-vermont.pantheonsite.io/app/uploads/...

okay, so then there’s no path forward lol

"Trump threatens to block opening of new bridge between Ontario and Michigan: President says he won't allow opening until U.S. 'is fully compensated for everything we have given' Canada" -- www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Trump, who says he had "no idea" at the time that Epstein sexually molested girls, told the police in 2006 that "everyone has known he’s been doing this.” That's according to an FBI interview with the then-Palm Beach police chief. Here's a gift link to Julie K. Brown's article in the Miami Herald.

the jobs report can’t be that bad, right

I mean at this point it’s up to the Democratic Party to honor the results of multiple referendums for statehood instead of pandering to disproportionately pro-independence Puerto Rican voters on the mainland

maybe I’m being delusionally optimistic, but my anxiety about Congress accepting midterm election results dropped dramatically once I realized how many Republican senators are up for re-election in 2026

I don’t think control of the House is going to come down to a small number of close races

Really not sure what happens to all those pundits who scoffed at the "Canada as the 51st State" thing when we discover our government was actively seeding and promoting the Albertan separatist movement. Probably nothing.

REP. STEIL: Some Dems demands put at risk the safety of members of law enforcement CNBC: You mean like taking off their masks and having a badge that shows who they are? STEIL: Well, they're known to their supervisors CNBC: No other law enforcement officials in the US are allowed to wear masks

i mostly find criticisms of “Woke 1.0” unserious, like sorry but feeling like Latinx is unrepresentative is not at all proportionate to the backlash, i.e., electing a government run by rapists and pedophiles

ICE is torturing legal residents until they agree to deportation

the fact of the matter is that disaster relief for Hurricane Maria doesn’t get illegally withheld during the first Trump administration if Puerto Rico has two senators

Lol the GOP candidate for NY-AG who ran in 2022 and got 45% of the vote dropped out last week nypost.com/2026/01/29/u...

Amber Glenn, a queer Texan who started ice skating at the stonebriar mall in frisco at age 5, who plays magic the gathering, is an olympic gold medalist

This was supposed to be Republicans' best chance at a D flip now it's one of Democrats' best overperformances yet

The media moved on when trump said he had a new tone because as the constitution states the president is the editor in chief of all news outlets

what a fucking clown

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

the pro-Israel lobby seems convinced that somehow this will result in even more pro-Israel behavior next time instead of ambitious politicians looking at what happened and going, well, if I'm going to get hung out to dry I might as well take the popular position and, well, good luck with that

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

“The staffer did it” excuse lasted exactly .0524 Scaramuccis

Update: They succeeded: www.mississippifreepress.org/byhalia-ice-...

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past. It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

Weird how these posts never include "I support national legislation to limit gerrymandering"

#NJ11 update: New Jersey counted roughly 2,000 ballots today, and Analilia Mejia increased hear lead over Tom Malinowski from 0.8% to 1.1% (that's roughly +474 to +676).

Donald Trump is a racist.

Mamdani announces a new executive order protecting New Yorkers from "abusive immigration enforcement," including requiring ICE to have a judicial warrant to enter NYC property

In 2024, Trump stated that only himself and Dan Scavino have access to his Truth Social account. This contradicts Karoline Leavitt’s implication that some random, unnamed low-level staffer was to blame for posting the now-deleted racist Obama ape video.

DEVELOPING: Federal judge will let Marimar Martinez release text messages sent by Border Patrol agent who shot her From @chicago.suntimes.com: chicago.suntimes.com/2026/02/06/f...

oh, i’m sure Mike Johnson “hasn’t seen it”

yeah, this is the other thing—Malinowski has friends in both chambers on the Hill, generally moderate at best on Israel/Palestine issues, and they just watched AIPAC nuke him over basically nothing *and lose anyway to someone even less favorable* did they think this through at ALL

If the even more Israel skeptical candidate wins this will be the funniest blunder by AIPAC since they started spending money on primaries in 2022

If you won’t say this, you should not hold public office

There was a Chicago alderman arrested by ICE in a hospital where they were detaining a constituent. There's video.

Times article has an incredible illustration

Holy shit it’s not great political strategy to constantly denounce your own voters?!

let me just say how unsurprised I am that the judge here is a woman
