Now is probably a good time to remind folks that Elon Musk deleted this recent tweet of his about an 18 year old girl

BREAKING: ICE memo expands authority for warrantless arrests

We asked PAXIS to give ICE agents 3 pieces of advice: 1. There’s no statute of limitations for murder. 2. No such thing as absolute immunity. 3. ICE agents are being prosecuted—even now. Those in power today won’t be forever. Support PAXIS: paxis.app – “ICE KNOCKS, WE ANSWER.”

"The swing toward the Democrat was striking...A blue wave in 2026 now looks likely. The House is very likely to go Democratic, and by a substantial margin. And Democrats winning control of the Senate now has to be considered a real possibility." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

The fact that the White House is talking about "de-escalation" means nothing if its orders to ICE haven’t changed. And even if those orders *do* change, these systems now have a logic of their own. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:

Listen please!!!

CEOs of big tech companies who the Trump administration listens to have decided to ignore the slow descent into fascism. www.resistandunsubscribe.com

I guess we can say now that he may have been checking for his own name in there.

This.👇

To Trump, his brand is more important than the mission. He would rather watch America collapse under his name than see it prosper under someone else’s. He isn't building a legacy; he’s holding the country hostage to his ego. If he can't own the future, he'll burn the present. #ETTD

That Bad Bunny speech really got me. Amen.

The Melania movie may be an interminable slog of airbrushed nothingness. But in its aggressive push of the "good immigrant" myth, the film is far more revelatory than it seems. It is an American obscenity.

"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. ..

The Kennedy Center died the second Trump touched it. If we ever get free and fair elections again and a Democratic fighter who will learn from the mistakes of the Civil War, War on Terror, big bailout, Trump's insurrection, then there will be massive accountability and we'll raze Trump's legacy.

Woke 2.0 back with a vengeance. You love to see it.

Trump’s lawsuits against the US are for conduct that occurred 5 and 4 years ago. A jury would decide those cases if DOJ didn’t settle. He could have filed those years ago and had a jury decide, but he filed the frivolous lawsuits now so his own corrupt DOJ could settle them.

Why does ICE need to exist and be funded by our taxpayer dollars? To terrorize more of our kids? wapo.st/3LWg1rT

Welker: “Has the Justice Department fully complied with the law?” Rep. Ro Khanna: “No. They've released at best half the documents, but even those shock the conscience of this country… It's one of the largest scandals, in my view, in our country's history.”

Melania really needs to answer questions about her friendships with Epstein, Maxwell and Jean Luc Brunel, the Epstein associate who died by "suicide" in prison. How did she meet all these people? Why did she know them? Epstein says he's the one who introduced Melania to Donald Trump.

This poor child, he has been traumatized for no reason. May God bless him and his family!! 😥😥

To all the Minnesotans who are making their voices heard and protesting peacefully: The world is watching, and when change comes, it will be because of you.

Defund ICE. Disable the grift. Disempower the Epstein class. Defy authoritarianism. Discredit Trumpism. Deconstruct MAGA. Defeat the GOP. Thank you for your attention to these matters.

Minnesota is pushing ICE back. They are winning- albeit at a terrible cost. They are showing us that we CAN win back our democracy. So we will march - where ever Trump’s militia invade. They will try to crush every blue state & beyond. In a sense, Minnesota is our Birmingham. We have just begun 🇺🇸

A man deported to Laos in October told me he was shackled for 73 hours after his Omni plane unexpectedly returned to Louisiana, which flight data confirms.

James Comer spent every day for 2 years and millions of US taxpayer dollars trying to link Joe Biden to Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014, but has zero interest in UAE putting $500 million into Trump’s crypto company then getting advanced AI chips from the US.

This means Trump and his DOJ will accelerate their plans to try to rig the elections and/or justify the Insurrection Act. They see what's coming if we have fair and free elections inshallah. www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

Trump and MAGA overreaching on ICE and immigration will/has backfire with Latinos and potentially make their gerrymander in Texas a dummymander. Whoopsie!

Just need 1 Republican in the House with a spine. 2 will be great. Oh, and those 7 "Centrist" Dems who voted to fund DHS last week? Yeah, we'll never forget that. www.axios.com/2026/02/01/m...

In case you missed it, a Republican in *checks notes* … Texas — who Trump endorsed — just underperformed Trump by 30 points and lost a special election. The panic is going to be delicious.

How many "isolated incidents" does it take to admit there is a systemic crisis of antisemitism within the Trump administration?

“This is not about ICE doing regular ICE stuff.” Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis knows that the confrontation between the federal government and the people of Minnesota is at an inflection point. On “The Interview,” he explains how the conflict has implications for the whole country. trib.al/emQKqkl

DM me? We used to get hundreds of highly qualified applicants for a single job posting. Good prosecutors are increasingly hesitant to work for this DOJ.

We live in a world obsessed with image People tell lies and claim that they are the truth only to further their agenda and corruption But I see people standing up for their neighbors Calling out the lies We MUST care for the innocent and invisible We must stand together UNITED #StrongerTogether

Georgia Citizens Mondays, February 2 & 23rd

I can't think of anything less patriotic than allowing a corrupt pedophile to suspend the constitution so he can murder citizens, enrich himself, and imprison journalists.

When billion-dollar decisions can be made by executive stooges, instead of through independent agencies following administrative procedures, corruption avenues becomes superhighways. Congress should have a say in that.

History shows that democracies unravel when leaders recast their own citizens as enemies. That’s the moment we’re living in. My new TIME essay looks at how the Trump administration’s rhetoric is being used to justify violence, dodge accountability, and weaken the meaning of citizenship.

Not quite, but we’re close.
