thx...had not seen this For the current fiscal year ICE's total available budget @30 billion This represents a near tripling of its previous annual budget of roughly $10 billion - to use to hire MORE ICE AGENTS, build concentration camps across the country, etc. tinyurl.com/m526ks2a

Texas A&M canceled Dr. Bright’s Ethics in Public Policy course a day after he appeared on local television criticizing the institution’s banning of Plato & other academic texts. @drleonardbright.bsky.social #academicsky

And if you think this isn’t a kitchen table issue, then you didn’t watch a mother and U.S. citizen get murdered in her car by a federal ICE agent.

If you’re a Democrat thinking about running for president in 2028 and you don’t believe calling to abolish ICE is a line in the sand for Democratic voters, you’re done before you even begin. This isn’t something that can be fixed. It’s broken and it needs to be torn down to the ground.

Uniter 💯 indict him RENEE GOOD SAID TO ROSS, “I’M NOT MAD AT YOU.” He switched his mobile freeing his shooting hand behind car. SHE TURNED. He stepped aside. HE ILLEGALLY FIRED. She drove past. HE FIRED, NOW ILLEGALLY ON A FLEEING CAR. She drove further. HE ILLEGALLY FIRED, AGAIN. He murdered.

🆕 NEW: The Killing of Renee Good DHS policy is clear: Officer are prohibited from firing if safe alternatives exist (stepping aside). So the central question of legality and DHS compliance is: Could the officer have stepped aside? He stepped aside. He fired. He killed. medium.com/armedwithrea...

Now that we’re all about “complying with the law” re Minnesota, does that extend to complying with the law re Epstein files?

Former DOJ Attorney Patrick Kent speaks to Erin Burnett in his first interview since his resignation from the Department of Justice. He shares what led him to resign “Justice is no longer founded on the truth” www.cnn.com/2026/01/16/u...

Someone posted the reason Trump is so frightened of the Epstein files is he was the 'expediter' - he had the beauty contest, modeling agency WHAT IF TRUMP WAS A KEY PART OF MOVING CHILDREN FROM PLACE TO PLACE - TO BE RAPED WHAT IF TRUMP's ORGANIZATION was running the show? IT WAS HIS BUSINESS

The Justice Department already missed its December deadline to release the Epstein files—and now it’s struggling to defend the delay, @willgottsegen.com argues in The Atlantic Daily:

People are stepping up and exercising their legal rights.

Today the orange criminal abomination said we shouldn't even have an election in November That means we better work harder than ever to Flip the House and Senate to Impeach and remove this crime boss

ICYMI: In a late night filing, DOJ argues the federal courts cannot force them to comply with the law requiring release of all the Epstein files.

"Safely following agents “at an appropriate distance does not, by itself, create reasonable suspicion to justify a vehicle stop.”" www.kare11.com/article/asso...

NEWS: Canada just checkmated the United States. Breaking with the U.S., Canada has struck a major deal with China: Ottawa will cut its 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles in exchange for dramatically lower tariffs on Canadian farm products.

You're paying for this. Trump's Big Ugly Bill gave BILLIONS to ICE and giant corporations—using money meant to lower your health care costs. Instead of helping your mom get cancer treatment, your tax dollars are being used to terrorize communities.

Everyone with authority must speak out now against Trump's depravity and lawlessness. Every Democratic leader. Every university, professional association, charity, and foundation head. Every CEO. Every religious leader. If they don't, history will condemn their cowardice and complicity.

I’m not a lawyer. But is the DOJ seriously arguing that courts can’t enforce… :: checks notes :: …laws? That’s a bold strategy Cotton.

Host: An incident report from the Minneapolis Fire Department says Renee Good was found with up to 4 gunshot wounds. 2 to her right chest, 1 in her left arm, and a possible gunshot to the left side of her head.

BEST FRIENDS 4 EVER....❤️❤️

Republicans gonna find out the end result of their corrupt redistricting is that they're going to LOSE SEATS I LOVE IT WHEN DEMS (finally, slowly) FIGHT BACK!!

ICE throws flashbangs and tear gas at SUV with 6 children, requiring all to be hospitalized and causing their newborn infant to stop breathing.

It's now been four weeks since the deadline set by law and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

"Mr. President, you have been duly warned—now by the GOP."

PAYBACK IS A BITCH!! 😂😂 Reps think they can break any law with impunity & can be totally corrupt...without consequences Here's some consequences Virginia will redistrict & Reps will discover that while trying to steal seats from Dems - they end up LOSING seats HILARIOUS tinyurl.com/2aehkn9d

Democracy Docket is fantastic, as is the work that @marcelias.bsky.social and his law firm are doing We are eternally in your debt - your work for the American people and the country we're trying to save is truly heroic

The political movement that was was fueled by an obsession with a non-existent “Clinton body count” has facilitated the rise of an authoritarian regime with a rapidly escalating, ACTUAL body count that those obsessive Clinton haters are at best ignoring, or at worst avidly celebrating.

next reporter who interviews stephen miller should ask him point blank if his goal in minneapolis is to kill more americans

Who else is excited that Canada has dropped tariffs on Chinese EVS from 100% to 6.1% for the first 49,000 units?
