A crypto company run by President Trump’s family members sold a large stake to investors tied to the United Arab Emirates just days before Trump’s inauguration, linking a Trump family business to a prominent member of the UAE’s governing elite.

“They cannot continue to evade responsibility for what they’ve done to the Everglades. The government is not above the law.” New ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ records suggest federal funding & involvement in Florida detention camp, potentially reviving a court-ordered shutdown, Ayi Santos reports.

An ICE claim that a man shattered his skull running into a wall triggers tension at a Minnesota hospital.

We are OUTRAGED and deeply alarmed by the arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort by federal agents, and by the government’s escalating effort to criminalize and threaten press freedom under the guise of law enforcement. The First Amendment is not optional and journalism is not a crime.

Hundreds of Montanans gathered in front of the Gallatin County Courthouse on Sunday afternoon in the wake of Alex Pretti’s killing by federal officers in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 and in response to the Trump administration’s immigration policies writ large.

Border Patrol detained family seeking care for 7-year-old child at Oregon hospital, reports say

Pretti was licensed to carry a gun in public when he was fatally shot by an immigration agent.

Trump says he’s making deals at a historic pace. But many of them turn out to be frameworks, handshakes or threats — with real risks for allies, markets and the US economy.

A week into Donald Trump’s second term 37% of Americans thought the country was headed in the right direction, while 50% thought it was on the wrong track. Those numbers are now 31% and 61%, respectively

A new video appears to show the moments leading up to a fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis, with the individual appearing to simply record on his phone as agents escalated the situation. 🎥 dangjessie / Threads

Beauty of a sunrise over Long Island Sound this morning. 7 degrees. Windy. Couldn’t feel my fingers. But worth it! Madison, CT.

Hey NRA, are you good with this? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

The murder of Alex frame by frame. If you look away, you are complicit. If you remain apolitical you are a coward. No paywall on thi article. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

As masked federal agents terrorize and kill American citizens Mike Lawler does NOTHING to stop it. I was a military police officer in the Army. I know what law enforcement is about. Protecting and serving, NOT the weaponization of government against its own people.

Walz: Minnesotans are witnessing, and we're creating a log of evidence for the future prosecution of ice agents and officials responsible for this.

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Bernice King has it absolutely right. We are facing a moral crisis in this country. And we must all act together to end it.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Holy shit.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

The nurses are pissed

They keep showing us who they are. Murdering our citizens for peacefully exercising their rights, ignoring our laws, gaslighting us for demanding justice… They think their brutality will cower us into silence. Into obeisance. They clearly don’t know who we are. They will.

Another Gestapo murder in Minnesota. Six agents wrestle someone to the ground and then shoot him in the back www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The federal government is executing American citizens in the middle of the street for exercising their constitutional right to freedom of speech. This is tyranny. No free people can accept this kind of government. We need to bring an end to the Trump regime.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

Does anyone have this bystander’s video? Please share.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Should not be lost on any of us that this second - and even more violent - public execution of a legal observer comes in the immediate aftermath of JD Vance showing up to declare absolutely immunity for murderous ICE thugs.

Immigration agent mocked bystanders with brutal taunt after fatal shooting: report

We see you Minnesota 👏🏽

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment. That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant. Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

New in PN: What if we just stopped paying taxes? "Like many other blue states, Minnesota pays more to the federal government than it takes in. But why should the state continue to subsidize a government bent on destroying it? What if it just … didn’t?"

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

🚨 ICE is forcing entry into homes without a judge’s warrant. This violates the Constitution and endangers families. Don’t open the door. Write your lawyer’s number on your arm. Lock your phone with a PIN code. Say “I do not consent to entry”. Help us protect our people: 👉 www.gofundme.com/f/PAXIS

Jim Jordan has never passed the bar exam. The fact that he serves as Chair of the House Judiciary Committee tells you everything about how seriously today’s Republican Party takes its responsibility for legal oversight.
