This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.

The whole interview is worth it

Shockingly callous. AZ Republicans cannot be entrusted with protecting our constitutional rights.

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.

He wasn't a domestic terrorist. A domestic terrorist was the Oklahoma City bomber. This was a VA nurse looking out for his neighbors.

Worse than Kent State, really than any episode I can think of probably dating back to Reconstruc & earlier b/c 1. continuing, not 1 off. 2. organized, not individual ofcrs losing it 3. literally at hand of federal government, which is 4. immediately lying & circling the wagons to prevent inves.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country. As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

Well, this is really something. A majority of *working class whites* disapprove of ICE, per new NYT poll. Dovetails with the unpublished data that I got from Quinnipiac finding similar on working class more broadly (see below). (cc @gelliottmorris.com )

state-sponsored child trafficking

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Climate scientists are also obsessed with Greenland, not because of the Mercator projection, but because the melting of the Greenland ice sheet is going to raise sea levels significantly, change ocean circulation, and be generally very bad for humanity.

Breaking WaPo: The recent death of a detainee at an immigrant detention camp in Texas has been officially deemed a homicide, according to an autopsy report released Wednesday by the El Paso County Office of the Medical Examiner.

Secretary Fontes and Legislative leaders introduced the "Voters First Act” - a proposal to modernize, standardize, and prioritize the voting process for every eligible voter in AZ, sponsored by Senator @priya4az.bsky.social and Rep. Oscar De Los Santos. Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeCQ...

It's not debatable that a mentally disturbed person has the nuclear codes. The Republicans know they're endangering us all by leaving him in office. This is a betrayal of every person on Earth. It is a crime against humanity.

Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Thank you to everyone who came to the Capitol today to honor and celebrate Arizona’s rich Indigenous culture and history during the 31st Annual Arizona Indian Nations and Tribes Legslative Day!

Today we honor Martin Luther King Jr. and his fight to ensure everyone had equal rights. The Arizona Senate Democrats are committed to turning his dream of justice and equality for all into a reality for every Arizonan.

the fact that Republican senators like Schmitt can’t even write a fascist screed on their own and instead have to rely on chatGPT perfectly captures the unique combination of evil and stupid that defines the modern Republican Party

In the last 18 days alone: - Two men in ICE custody have killed themselves (jails are supposed to protect against this) - Two men died of cardiac-related issues - One man was reportedly choked to death by a guard - One man died of fentanyl withdrawal (family question the medical care provided)

The president -Is occupying a major city with armed paramilitiaries -Is blackmailing treaty allies to hand over their sovereign territory -Is trying to set himself up as chairman for life of a UN rival with $1B fees for permanent membership -Is talking about canceling elections

2026 is seeing that the U.S. Army is mobilizing a unit specialized for winter conditions, but not knowing if the intended mission is violent repression of an American city or stealing territory from a U.S. treaty ally.

Gallego: "We cannot vote for anything that actually adds more money and doesn't constrain ICE ... we cannot keep funding this type of goon squad"

Even David Shor's firm is telling Democrats in private communications that ICE is politically toxic right now. newrepublic.com/article/2052...

One of the most powerful things anyone can do about climate change is talk about it, says @katharinehayhoe.com.

Well, it's now official (per NOAA): Dec (and Nov-Dec) 2025 were the warmest such periods on record for Western U.S. (and also for most individual Western states). It has been an extraordinarily sustained period of winter warmth, and this eerily balmy winter continues into Jan.

It was my honor to have our fantastic Atty General @azagmayes.bsky.social and Gila River Indian Community Governor Lewis sit with me in the Senate for Opening Day of the AZ Legislature! And to hear Gov. Hobbs' State of the State, and welcome many guests from Southern Arizona and across the state.

Thanks @tucsonagenda.bsky.social I like this legislator summary you wrote of me

The legislature has failed for years to protect the residents of rural Arizona from groundwater depletion, so my office has stepped in to do it for them. www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/news...

PRESS RELEASE: Arizona Senate Democrats Stand with Minneapolis After Killing of Innocent Woman

Yesterday, Leader Sundareshan and Senator Kuby joined the Sierra Club for a press conference announcing this year’s environmental protection priorities — including clean air and water, access to public lands, heat protections, lower energy costs and more.

Political cartoonists are not fuckin’ around this week. (thread) 1. Pat Bagley

Think about the mindset, and the expectation of immunity, of someone who texts this to friends.

"Yet"

nah man, No Kings

The whole lot of them spent Jan. 6th lying about what happened 5 years ago. Why should anyone expect them to start telling the truth on January 7th?

Update: One of Arizona’s largest farming businesses has agreed to leave some croplands dry and pay $11 million to help residents whose wells have gone dry. @azagmayes.bsky.social says the legal settlement came after a year of ‘hard-fought’ negotiations. www.latimes.com/environment/...

Thinking about all of the dedicated public servants who work on Capitol Hill who are going in to work tomorrow in the halls and offices where thousands of bloodthirsty fascists invaded with murderous intent five years ago to the day. And how they have to work side by side with insurrectionists.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes is challenging regulators' approval of electricity service agreement for Project Blue data centers.

Our country is in the hands of a juvenile. And Republicans in Congress don't care.

BRENNAN: To be clear, there is no plan for US occupation of this country of nearly 30 million people? MARCO RUBIO: The president always retains optionality on anything and on all of these matters

Time to reup the real National Security Strategy:
