You may recall that in January of 2025, artist Ann Telnaes announced that she had quit The Washington Post after editors killed a cartoon that depicted owner Jeff Bezos, among others, genuflecting to Trump. This cartoon feels even more relevant this week.

NO TAXPAYER BAILOUTS FOR THE CRYPTO SPECULATORS AND CON ARTISTS. If you gambled and lost, don’t ask the American people to bail you out. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

BREAKING: A young girl in immigration detention reportedly attempted to take her own life, at the same Texas facility experiencing a measles outbreak and where Liam Ramos was detained.

This is the ad that Fox News does NOT want you to see. Fox News rejected our newest ad, which demonstrates that Trump has “gone too far” with ICE. But we will not remain silent in the face of these attacks. Share our ad and follow @usjewishdems.bsky.social to join us in the fight.

Is the dam breaking? One can only hope. How will we know that the Trump spell has been broken? That will be the day when his popularity in polls is exactly the same as Hitler's. The day that only avowed bigots support him.

Trump's reliance on blatant racism shows that he knows he is losing. He is getting desperate. Keep on keeping on. We are going to beat this racist POS with peaceful protest, legal acumen, fearless citizen journalism, voter protection, and the best GOTV effort our country has ever seen.

@nytimes.com Autocracy Index just moved us one notch closer to autocracy for Trump's stifling of dissent in Minneapolis. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS. Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This morning at the Minnesota State Capitol. An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.

Irving Berlin still resonates today.

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range. And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

Schumer & Jeffries lay out the Democratic demands for a DHS funding deal in a letter to the top Republican leaders

On Jan. 29, Republican-favoring pollster Rassmussen had Trump's approval among likely voters at 47% and his disapproval at 52%, just 5% underwater. Today they have him at 41% approval, 57% disapproval, 16% underwater. More than triple in 1 week. www.rasmussenreports.com/public_conte...

Make no mistake. Trump is purchasing warehouses to turn into concentration camps. The only way to stop him from starting an American Holocaust is to win the midterms, then impeach and remove him.

Homan says he needs "cooperation" to end ICE's illegal occupation of Minneapolis. I wonder how much "cooperation" stuffed into a Cava bag would be needed to make him go away. www.fox26houston.com/news/trump-b...

Democrats are demanding real change and accountability from DHS. The American people deserve to be safe. This is how we protect our communities.

We have been warned. Our top priority should be preventing this from happening.

The old question was whether Trump had raped children. That one seems to have been pretty much answered. The new question raised by the huge number of times his name appears in the released Epstein files is whether he was managing -- or at least co-managing -- a child sex-trafficking ring.

Hopefully the federal judiciary will be more assertive in Portland and other cities going forward than they were in Minneapolis and not wait for a body count before they reign in ICE (and the so-called "border patrol").

The 15th Amendment was ratified on this date in 1870, prohibiting the denial or abridgment of a citizen’s right to vote on the basis of race, color or previous condition of servitude. Yet across the South, states used poll taxes, literacy tests and violence to keep Black men from voting. #BHM2026

Sen. WELCH: The Writers Guild says after the Warner Bros.-Discovery merger, the merged firm canceled $2 billion in content. Is that true? Warner Bros. executive: Yes. Welch: This is the key question. We need more content, not less. There are fewer buyers and less competition.

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Federal workers and contractors – and their jobs – should never be used as leverage in political standoffs.   I'm proud to co-lead a bill to ensure workers are paid and RIFs prohibited during a shutdown in FY 26.   Federal workers shouldn't bear the cost of Congress's failures.

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

Batman does not like ICE and is dropping F-bombs. www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

This was posted in the new Epstein files release and removed about 20 mins later. Wonder why that is.

The latest polls have Trump's approval rating at 40-44%. Now that this is out, do you suppose any of those folks will change their minds about him? Or are more than 2 in 5 Americans okay with child rape?

(3/3) It can't go on forever because it would eventually wreck FEMA and airports. But it means we aren't putting SSI or Section 8 recipients in the crossfire of a govt shutdown. It's a position where Ds can hold out much longer, so it's a place that maximizes leverage, if Ds are willing to use it.

(2/3) What this means is that, if Rs refuse to budge and we can't stop the madness, in 2 weeks we can do a DHS-only shutdown. I know I just said a DHS-only shutdown doesn't stop ICE and CBP, but it's still something that can't go on forever - and it forces the OBBBA funds to be used up faster.

(1/3) Working to explain here: ICE and CBP continue to run during a shutdown. Because of OBBBA, they continue to run w/ pay. But even without OBBBA, they'd run w/out pay. That makes leverage weak, but not nothing. The funding deal splits off DHS from the other parts. This provides maximum leverage.

Todd Blanche says they have redacted information about "victims" from today's #Epstein document release. I'm pretty sure Trump has already said that he is a "victim" of the Epstein probe, so don't expect any references to the Pedo-in-Chief (allegedly). www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/30/n...

Then they came for the journalists. . .

Who expected the sequel to Tiananmen to be Twin Cities? www.cnn.com/interactive/...

ICE just detained the owner of a popular Massachusetts restaurant who has been in the country for more than two decades and who has owned his restaurant for about 15 years. ABOLISH ICE!!! www.boston.com/news/local-n...

A legal asylum-seeker who works at Chipotle and plays music at a church in Maine went missing. His pastor searched and searched, eventually finding his abandoned car with the keys on the floor. ICE grabbed him. No criminal record. No explanation.

Democrats just restored a 67-67 split in the Minnesota House, denying Trump’s allies the clear majority they wanted to rubber-stamp his agenda and embolden ICE. 

Music has a powerful way of shedding light on injustice. We now have an anthem for the resistance.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Trump's health is so bad, they are now concealing his golfing schedule. Is he no longer able to swing his club? didtrumpgolftoday.com

Trumpette Stephen Miller is whining that #startrek has gone woke. Are you f'in kidding me? Star Trek has been "woke" (i.e. thoughtful, aware, progressive, supportive of diverse communities, etc.), since it debuted in 1966 with an African American officer, Lt. Uhura. www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

ALEX PRETTI’S PARENTS: “He was a VA nurse who cared about people deeply, and he was very upset with what was happening with ICE... kidnapping children, grabbing people off the street — he knew it was wrong. He loved this country." (H/T @katiecouric.bsky.social )
