"Slay queen!"

After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting. But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:

Judge Reyes starts with a comparison: George Washington versus Kristi Noem.

Meanwhile, in Kharkiv, the city's mayor, Ihor Terekhov, said that crews must "drain the heat carrier from the heating system" as a result of the attack, which will cut heating to over 800 buildings in the city — as temperatures plummet below -20°C (-4°F) overnight.

⚡️Update: Casualties confirmed in Kyiv, heat outages reported in Kharkiv amid large-scale attack. Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, said at least two people have been injured in Kyiv as a result of the mass missile and drone attack.

The Justice Department withdrew more documents related to its Epstein investigation after lawyers warned that the lives of nearly 100 victims had been “turned upside down” by sloppy redactions.

This should have been the case long before they killed two Americans. Border patrol agents should never have been sent in masks and camo to wreak havoc and aimlessly run around a state 1,500 miles from the Southern border. apnews.com/article/immi...

BREAKING Star Tribune: Eight additional federal prosecutors are in the process of leaving the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation. The departures follow the mass exit of six veteran prosecutors who left the office last month.

The US could be solving this problem. We are letting Russia kill, injure, and harm people. Enabling massive human suffering — a cold winter without heat and water — is wrong in itself and will not lead to peace.

Remember how the DOJ said it needed all this extra time to protect victims? About that...

Last week, I told Secretary Rubio that he was part of the most corrupt Admin in American history. They are selling American security, prosperity, & innovation to enrich the Trump family & his billionaire buddies. They must be held accountable for this blatant grift.

M.H. never thought as a U.S. citizen he’d be detained by ICE simply for being Somali. ICE’s racism and ruthless arrest tactics are traumatizing for anyone who has experienced it.

America is the immigrant. America is the protestor. America is the huddled masses yearning to be free. Alex Pretti is America. Renee Good is America. Liam Ramos is America. In this moment of crisis, America needs patriots now more than ever.

Trump is once again selling out American national security to enrich himself and his family. More corruption in plain sight, and on a scale that is unprecedented. It must be investigated.

New reports reveal that the UAE royal family secretly funneled $500M to Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency venture, just days before his inauguration and months before the President agreed to sell the UAE highly advanced AI chips that many fear would end up in the hands of China. 🧵

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad. Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️

If you care about Don Lemon, don't forgot Mario Guevara (reporter who was filming police at a No Kings rally in June) was targeted for his journalistic activity; detained for 112 days; and deported. He had no criminal charges against him and was on the path to getting a green card.

Democrat Taylor Rehmet won a Texas state Senate election in a reliably Republican district that Trump won by 17 points in 2024

Federal agents deployed tear gas on thousands of union members, families, and community members while we protested peacefully today. This was an attack on working people and an unacceptable escalation from federal agents in Portland. www.oraflcio.org/post/thousan...

They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.

HB 2570 strengthens oversight of gun dealers, closes the private-sale loophole, requires background checks on all transfers, limits bulk purchases, and builds modern crime-gun tracing systems—targeting traffickers and reckless sellers, not responsible gun owners. Let’s get it done, Arizona Moms!

They called on lawmakers to pass HB 2570, a comprehensive bill to stop illegal gun trafficking fueling violence across Arizona. Sponsored by Rep. Aaron Márquez, with a Senate companion forthcoming from Sen. Flavio Bravo, HB 2570 tackles the broken gun supply chain endangering communities statewide.

At a powerful day of action at the Arizona State Capitol, our volunteers—alongside Students Demand Action leaders, survivors, and community members—showed up loud, passionate, and united to demand real solutions to gun violence. 🧵

If you get pepper-sprayed, avoid rubbing your eyes. Instead, irrigate them with lots of water, says Dr. Trisha Pasricha, our Ask a Doctor columnist.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

A Minneapolis knitting shop has resurrected the design of a Norwegian cap worn to protest Nazi occupation. Its owner says the money raised from hat pattern sales will support the local immigrant community.

“U.S. District Judge Fred Biery excoriated the federal government, saying the case ‘has its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children.’” www.ms.now/news/liam-ra...

Exclusive: House Oversight Committee ranking member Rep. @robertgarcia.bsky.social calls on DOJ inspector general to investigate arrest of Don Lemon: “… you must investigate this shocking abuse of power highlighted in this incident.”

JUST IN: A federal judge on Saturday has ordered that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father from Columbia Heights being held in a Texas detention facility be released “as soon as practicable” but no later than Tuesday, Feb. 3.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Federal immigration agents detained a 5-year-old prekindergartner named Liam Ramos this month. His classmates miss him, so they decided to write letters to the agents who took him. “Dear ICE,” one student wrote, “You are scaring schools, people and the world.”

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

The more disinformation you believe, the more likely you are to vote Conservative.

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.

Streets of Izium in the Kharkiv region are covered in anti-drone nets. How quickly our reality changes. Only a few years ago, the idea that we would need to cover our streets to survive the russian 'human safari' seemed absurd. Now it’s our life... 🎥: place-kharkiv (tg)

Minnesota nurses dispute ICE’s account of a detained immigrant’s severe head injuries, saying his skull fractures couldn’t be from ‘running into a wall.’

🔥 @donlemonofficial.bsky.social : “I’ve spent my entire career covering the news — I will not stop now. There is no more independent time than right now for a free, independent media.” Amen. 🙏🏽 www.instagram.com/reel/DUJ0j9U...

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

They tried intimidation. Minnesota answered with people.

Portland, Maine www.pressherald.com/2026/01/30/l...

Don Lemon speaks outside of the courtroom after release: "I have spent my entire life covering the news. I will not stop now ... I will not be silenced."

They're seizing ballots. Raiding homes without warrants. Gunning down protestors in the streets. And now, arresting journalists. They’re coming for our freedoms. America, stand up while you still can.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that all four people arrested today, including two journalists, were Black. And now we find out the charge is “conspiracy to violate civil rights,” a statute rooted in the Ku Klux Klan Act. Sit with that.

“It is one of the scariest moments of my life and in my career to know that a fellow journalist, an award winning journalist, a vetted journalist, whose credentials are impeccable, is right now sitting in federal custody for doing her duty.”

Minnesota stands up for immigrants even after the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti-and the bogus arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort A city under siege fights back against a lawless invasion not with violence-but a peaceful, resolute march The power in their courage should inspire us all

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday. 📷️: Aaron Lavinsky
