Also in this post, I spill the tea on how the Bello administration was represented at the Conservative Party dinner. The same day he puts out a statement condemning Trump's racism, his crew shows up to support a Trump-loving party.

Jake Lang was shielded by masked men wielding non-lethal weapons while driving past a protest in a U-Haul truck. @BgOnTheScene

NEW: House Republicans Friday unveiled an amended version of their voter suppression bill that, if it became law, would gravely undermine the right to vote in the U.S. ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This story is chilling...not because it’s loud, but because it’s quiet. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

"The new law forbids counties and local law enforcement from contracting with ICE. It mandates that public bodies terminate any existing immigration detention agreements and prohibits the use of public property for federal civil immigration detention..." kfoxtv.com/news/local/n...

Note: Over on Xitter Laura Rozen wonders if the person is Ric Grenell, which would like up with a bunch of things (including current urgency).

These wealthy tech people all have dead eyes, are THEY the aliens we were warned about by MAGA crazies? 😉

Trans women should demand they be allowed to play men's sports and let THAT group go through the legal battles. Trans women do not belong in OUR sports. STOP MAKING WOMEN PAY ALL THE COST FOR MALE CHOICES.

Agree 💯% With Lawrence O'Donnell........

HEROES

Republicans that support pedophiles and sex traffickers or they ones that don't.

The United States has been infiltrated by foreign agents with an anti-democratic agenda. If you are a Republican, you are a Nazi sympathizer and/or enabler. They deserve to be tried for treason.

We have to build a new Democratic Party, build a new American Dream, and build a new country after this administration. First, we have to acknowledge how we got here: and that our institutions have failed far too many people for far too long.

NBC is editing out JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. CBS and ABC paid millions in bogus settlements to fund Trump. CNN made Scott Jennings a rightwing star. The Washington Post just laid off 300 journalists. Support independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

A Washington Post article that points out the owner is a threat to America. Also, free press.

“Thinking people naturally recoil from conspiracy theories, the favourite hobby of the unthinking. But here is a conspiracy where the evidence is laid bare.”

The owner of the world’s biggest bookstore eliminates the Books section of his newspaper.

Most Dems need to go. Out with the OLD, and let's get some energy here.

Seen in Minneapolis

NEW: A federal judge orders Trump to restore funding for the Hudson River tunnel project.

The US State Department plans to fund Far Right (and pro-Russia) think-tanks and charities in Europe to promote American policy positions and oppose European online speech regulations, the FT reports. America’s biggest export: fascism.

Luigi Mastrodonato Security Feb 2, 2026 6:00 AM ICE and Qatari Security Forces at the Winter Olympics Put Italians on Edge From "The Wire" QATARI SECURITY FORCES are with "American?"

TL;DR: For a high profile case about a Minneapolitan, with much to do about allegedly aggressive online comments on federal immigration agents in Minneapolis, it's striking the case was moved to Michigan on charges that also seem tied to just a handful of posts allegedly involving a Michigander.

She should have had a Life Alert, M.O.

As much as we want to rip them a new one for getting us into this mess, when people on the right come forward and apologize and admit they were wrong, we should probably welcome them to the light.

ICE is not going after the "worst of the worst." They're going after 5 year olds like Liam Ramos and DEAF TEENAGERS NOW. Come on, REALLY?!? Republicans have to pay the price for this bullshit in November. Vote them out of office, all those useless saps.

I deleted my post from before… I thought it was fake So I went to WH Smith and here it is An unbelievable attempt to sanitise this man and normalise what’s he’s done.

“We have to prepare for the outmost scenario, the worst scenario, which is they try to either capture the ballot box as ballots are being counted, they try to stop the count, they try to surround polling places, whatever it is,” - Ruben Gallego #RadioFreeAmerica www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

@leahgreenberg.bsky.social of @indivisible.org tells that Senate Democrats can filibuster the SAVE Act to prevent its passage. Indivisible also plans to contact its members in states affected by attacks on the Voting Rights Act (VRA). (See replies for source + transcript.) #USDemocracy #MomSky

Republicans are moving quickly to pass a bill requiring voters to show proof of citizenship both to register and at the polls ahead of the 2026 midterm elections — a move that experts warn could disenfranchise millions of Americans. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A gathering of Nazi traitors and pedophile protectors, a group shot should be a mug shot.

THE MOST SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS THREAT TO AMERICA IS THE PRESIDENT AND "HIS" GOVERNMENT.

It's up to WE the People to stop this; the MAGA GOP Congress has given in to Trump. Fire them, ALL of them.

And yet Russian athletes are allowed to compete! This is obscene. I won’t be watching a single minute of this political display.

STATUS REPORT

More grace and class than Trump will ever be able to comprehend…

Starting now!
