The Judge who ordered the release of five-year-old Liam wrote quite an opinion. Come read it with me. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Perfectly normal behavior for a sitting president. A big nothing burger. Nothing to see here.

well then it hasn’t been a very successful one

This is the facility I was denied entry to a week ago - even though I'm the top Democrat on the committee that funds DHS and I gave them plenty of notice. I told you they were hiding something. They were.

People who may want to have children in the future should bear this in mind: tear gas can have serious consequences for female reproductive health. The data on this isn't great but I would at least recommend ensuring you have a quality respirator or mask on at all times.

this particular line is maybe the best statement of purpose i have seen for those of us who want a more militant opposition to this administration

It was Melania, she needs to get the negative attention off of her movie flop.

Trump reversed decades of national security objections to selling advanced AI chips to UAE. National security experts were alarmed. But there was a secret. Before the deal, UAE had sent $187M to the Trumps and $31M to the Witkoffs in secret payments. Mind blowing corruption.

I thought for sure this was an old quote. He said this statement this morning.

"Just three months before he was arrested on federal child sex trafficking charges in 2019, Jeffrey Epstein had a mission: get Brad Karp, chair of the law firm Paul Weiss, into America’s most exclusive golf club, with the help of former White House strategist Steve Bannon. ..

This must stop.

It’s 2026. There is a measles outbreak in the prison for babies

multiple trump-created crises converging with deadly results.

Starting to wonder about the EU dimension of this. Mandelson was EU trade commissioner - one of the most important EU portfolio - in 2004 to 2008 after all.

Lots of teargas at ICE tonight in Portland. People were just standing and chanting.

the government is gassing our children.

I’m sorry but I don’t think Presidents should be able to sue the federal government.

Benito dedicating his award to all Latinos feels so special during a time I’ve felt so hopeless. It’s like saying, “I recognize that beauty in and of you as you recognize that same beauty in and of me.” 🧡

Billie Eilish criticising ICE at the Grammys, "No one is illegal on stolen land" "It's really hard to know what to say and what to do right now" "I feel really hopeful in this room" "We need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting" "Our voices do matter" "The people matter"

The irony of those saying Billie Eilish should stick to music, Mark Ruffalo to acting, Gary Lineker to football is that their loudest critics aren't politicians. So these artists who use their huge platforms to highlight injustice should leave political opinions to basement incel keyboard shaggers?

"The leaderless character of the resistance to ICE in Minnesota is precisely what has made it effective. The everyday anarchism of the Minneapolis revolution is its greatest strength." Amazing report from @crimethinc.com on the recent general strike in #Minneapolis. crimethinc.com/2026/02/01/c...

A reminder that the New England Patriots plane is flown by Omni air who contracts with ICE to fly people in chains to Africa and Asia several times per week. Go Seahawks.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE. Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.

The executive order that this president wants to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War ...is going from bad to worse. Why isn't there a Department of Peace... Why not have people who's expertise in Conflict can be explored and to reject the actual mindset that supports war.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

Allison Gill reveals she’s been in contact with a woman who reported trafficking tied to Trump’s modeling agency to the FBI. The tip appears on the Epstein file pages that went viral — the FBI interview is missing.

Let's ask the question: How many times do the following people show up being named in the Epstein Files: President Joe Biden: 0 President Barack Obama: 0 MN Governor Tim Walz: 0 President Donald Trump: 4,500 Does any Republican not see the problem?

BREAKING: One of the tipsters from the Epstein docs that DOJ pulled down and put back up has reached out to me. I'll tell you what we know on @meidastouch.com in one hour. As always, we have receipts. Link: www.youtube.com/live/xiSmcNV...

I guess they are pretty upset. For some reason.

I'll be honest, I don't expect fair elections for the midterms. But I'm going to push for voting anyway because we can't just hand this country over to them. We've got to fight to the bitter end to restore Democracy in this country.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.” #EpsteinFiles

There are folks in Texas who have names like those, whose ancestors were living there long before Texas was part of the US. Assuming someone with a Hispanic name is an immigrant is kinda racist TBH

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

I love writing. I think what I hate now is DREAD that comes knowing I SHOULD be writing, and HAVE to write soon, but am NOT 😂 In which case, the new story for my brain needs to be, "You know, if you just do this pleasurable thing NOW, you don't have to experience THIS displeasure for hours."

And they made him President a second time. www.threads.com/@chrissyprft...
