Tierra Walker knew that abortion was illegal in Texas, but she thought that hospitals could make an exception for patients like her, whose health was clearly on the line. At 20 weeks pregnant, she died of preeclampsia. (Published Jan. 2026)

Medicaid is certainly in the headlines now as a well-loved cornerstone of America's health care system. "Nearly all adults (97%) say Medicaid is at least somewhat important for people in their local community, including about three in four (73%) who say it is “very important.” @kff.org

At least three states are trying to repeal early grade suspension bans as districts say the practice is needed to control behavior, reach parents. @laurenwreports.bsky.social reports

Bacon: "We have to stand up on our own two feet and use these authorities, because that's what the founders intended. I thought maybe we could back off because the Court ruled, but hearing the president right now saying he's gonna do a 10% global tariff means we gotta keep voting on this."

Four interviews of a girl who says Trump sexually assaulted her when she was underage are gone -- missing from DOJ's release of the Epstein files. #ReleaseTheInterviews

Our new brief explores how states can draw down federal dollars to finance the administrative costs of Medicaid work reporting requirements. Don't be misled by the $200 million in HR 1 -- this will cost taxpayers WAY more. Much of the $ will go to large vendors. ccf.georgetown.edu/2026/02/11/i...

WELKER: What do you say to the allegation Trump is going to meddle in midterms & that's what he's doing in GA? JOHNSON: I find it comical a senator from GA is talking about schemes. GA was example A of that W: There are no Qs about 2020 that have not been answered J: That's your opinion W: Nope

This new file released appears to show Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick discussing visiting Epstein's island in 2012. Lutnick previously claimed that he cut off ties around 2005 with Epstein after being revolted by him.

Alex Pretti's shooting death by federal agents in Minneapolis has prompted a DOJ civil rights probe. Renee Macklin Good's death by federal agents has not. n.pr/4qM9zTj

One of the "overt acts" of the conspiracy was Don Lemon and Georgia Fort interviewing the pastor of the church:

Dear California, let us see you show up and give this guy the “welcome” he deserves. El Centro, they said? You know how to find it, don’t you? Riiiiight by the Mexican border.

Why is the msm outside of Maine not covering this? It seems like a huge and very troubling story to me. ICE coming to observers houses or calling them on the phone warning them to back off??!! www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

2/ "MPR News reached out to approximately 90 of Minnesota’s more than 300 public school districts this week to ask whether student attendance was being affected by the presence of federal enforcement officers throughout the state...."

ICE has been busting down doors and seizing people from their homes without signed judicial warrants. But it wasn’t some decision on the fly. It turns out, it was actual agency policy. A shocking memo, and what it means for this practice, in today’s write-up. Link in the replies.

Incredible quote here from a Somali small business owner in Minneapolis who voted for Trump. minnesotareformer.com/2026/01/19/a...

ICE agents are now racially profiling and harassing *off duty police officers* in Minnesota and demanding their papers.

More resignations of federal prosecutors are expected at the US attorney’s office in Minnesota amid ongoing frustration over the Trump administration’s response to the fatal shooting of Renée Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis.

Community policing!

An off-duty Brooklyn Park police officer was stopped by federal agents who demanded proof of her citizenship, the city’s police chief, Mark Bruley, said Tuesday. Video: Allison Kite/The Minnesota Star Tribune

Jesus fucking christ

US citizen says he felt fear, shame and desperation a day after ICE officers broke down his door with guns drawn, handcuffed him and dragged him into the snow wearing half-dressed. He was later returned home without explanation or apology, he said.

An FBI agent conducted an initial review of the Renee Good killing and determined sufficient grounds existed to open a civil rights probe into the actions of the ICE officer who shot her. Justice Department says no inquiry is warranted. @perrystein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Truly banana pants insane. Every time a federal law enforcement official shoots anyone it should be investigated fully (investigations dont nessacary mean they will be charged, that is why you investigate!). This is the bare minimum for a functioning society instead of a dictatorship

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Not enough money to lower your health care, food, or housing costs, but enough money for this?

Last week I reported on the 35 people ICE has killed in the last year. www.qasimrashid.com/p/did-your-d... Today Washington Post reports that on January 3, ICE killed another person, by choking him to death in prison. You don’t reform this. You don’t fix this by training. You ABOLISH this fascism.

See how this blatant corruption works? 👀

In a filing late last night, the DOJ alleged that they can't be compelled to release the Epstein files. Nothing says innocence like refusing to prove your innocence.

After the SpaceX rocket failed spectacularly, neither the FAA nor Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sought to revoke or suspend Starship’s license to launch, a move that is permitted when “necessary to protect the public health and safety.”

If a Democratic president had done something like this, Fox and the GOP would have turned Adriana Camberos into a household name à la Willie Horton or, yes, Hunter Biden. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/16/u...

Why am I not surprised that he did and said nothing in response to a federal raid on one of his own WaPo reporters?

US government's policy toward the Big 3 automakers—encouraging them to invest in massive, US-only SUVs & trucks, now encouraging them to underinvest in EVs—has reinforced their global irrelevance. Ford sold 33% fewer vehicles worldwide in 2024 than 2015! GM sold 40% fewer vehicles!

Renee Good's family is accusing federal immigration officers of killing the Minneapolis mother of three as she attempted to follow agents' instructions, and have now hired the same law firm that represented George Floyd's family to press for answers and accountability.
