WOW. A federal judge says he's going to issue a Temporary Restraining Order requiring ICE to make changes at the Broadview facility in Chicago, a facility that until January was only for stays under 12 hours "absent exceptional circumstances," but has become, in Judge Gettleman's words, "a prison."

Farm workers wake up at 2 a.m. in Merced County to get ready to harvest sweet potatoes. They share, "We have to drop off our kids at the babysitter before we leave for the fields. The lack of sleep is tough, but this work feeds our children." #WeFeedYou

TN-7 about to take the stage…

1. ICE has sharply increased its spending on weapons in 2025, according to an analysis of federal gov't data by Popular Information. Records reveal ICE has increased spending on “small arms" — a category that includes guns, armor, chemical weapons, and explosives — by 700% compared to 2024 levels

OAK RIDGE, TN: “A former director of nuclear energy programs at Oak Ridge National Laboratory was arrested after an investigation into allegations he solicited explicit messages and images from underage girls.” www.wbir.com/article/news...

We sued President Trump for targeting people showing up to their mandated immigration court hearings. The government has no right to come after people following the law and throw them in detention.

Florida’s surgeon general’s anti-vax beliefs are only the tip of a very deeply weird iceberg. Joseph Ladapo’s guiding voice? His wife, who believes she can talk to “Archangel Michael, Mary Magdalene, and many other beings of light.”

Where’s the medal of freedom for all those innocent victims of gun violence, for the victims of 9/11 and for the veterans?? #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

🤬🤬

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish. The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.

Good. Traitor.

Burchett: I mean, anybody can do a signature. We’ve seen autopens used quite a bit. I’ve never known Trump to be much of an artist. I don’t buy it. Raju: You think someone might have forged this? Burchett: Yeah…

The “opioid” Sackler cartel out of Indiana !

Oh, FFS!

In case anyone is still wondering why Bolton was raided

That got us wondering: How would those governors feel if National Guard troops from other states were ordered onto their streets, perhaps to patrol one of the 53 cities in those states with a higher murder rate than Washington’s? So, we asked them. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...

"I know more about grass than any human being anywhere in the world." I DARE YOU TO TRY TO TOP THIS, GAVIN @govpressoffice-m.bsky.social

Of course there will be an appeal and possibly a stay, but hopefully this decision sticks www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Newsom: We can’t do things the way we’ve done. Let’s disabuse ourselves of that. The Democratic Party needs to assert itself. We need to be strong again. Strength matters. People want conviction. They want character. They want a sense of intention and purpose…

Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.

Jim Crow 2025

The decision of European leaders to all join Zelensky in his White House visit was one of the savviest diplomatic moves I’ve seen in a long time. Historic. THAT is how you unify for democracy.

Perino: You have to stop at with the Twitter thing. If I were his wife, I would say you are making a fool of yourself, stop it… He's got a big job as governor of California but if he wants an even bigger job, he has to be a little more serious.

Can’t wait for @jaketapper.bsky.social’s book about this

Whatever AOC Says, Is Worth Repeating, Correct Mr. Chump.......

James Madison was elected in 1812 during the War of 1812. Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1864 during the Civil War. FDR was elected in 1944 during WWII. JBJ & Nixon were elected in 1964 & 1972 during the Vietnam War. George W. Bush was elected in 2004 during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

WOW. @marcelias.bsky.social goes off on the failures of legacy media: "We have an absolute collapse and failure by the institutions that have promised us that democracy would not die in darkness, that in fact, they stand for the proposition that democracy will die in plain sight of daylight."

WATCH: John Oliver clowns @reptimburchett 🤡 for claiming he sleeps in his office out of fear when he told @notusreports it’s to be more productive. Again: we’re told he slept in his office as a state legislator in NASHVILLE also. Tim’s lying. (Again) (H/T @bluegeorgia.bsky.social )

Notice they don’t deny it. Corruption and grift at every turn. 🇺🇸

We must insist the Supreme Court protect voting rights and democracy. In 2015-17, I litigated and won 4 redistricting cases in the Supreme Court. In the last few years my firm has litigated two others in the Court and won both. Don't give in to the cynics. When we fight we can win!

Another one.

Alligator Alcatraz closing? Detainees are disappearing and being moved and we need help

Jordy: Not to put on my conspiratorial hat here, but you don’t just build a $200 million ballroom if you’re planning on moving out of the White House in three years.

Crockett: We're talking about them going after Clyburn in South Carolina, Andre Carson in Indiana, Reverend Cleaver in Missouri. Emilia Sykes in Ohio, three of the four black representatives that we currently have in the state of Texas.  So don't tell me this isn't about race…
