.@PabloReports: What do you make of the Ford worker who called Trump a pedophile protector? Escobar: Well, he was right. He was speaking the truth. How crass and disgusting that the president flips the middle finger to a union worker, a hardworking American.

Frey: "I've seen conduct from ICE that is disgusting & intolerable. If it were your city, it would unacceptable there too. ICE can leave & this massive deployment can come to an end. We have filed litigation to hopefully make it so, but I'm deeply concerned we don't have that kind of time."

Frey: "This is not sustainable. This is an impossible situation our city is being put in. We cannot be at a place in America where we have 2 governmental agencies literally fighting one another. We are put in this position b/c we have approximately 600 police officers & there are 3,000 ICE agents."

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

This is where we at with the current Administration . . . not quite, but almost, at war with our former allies.

McBride: Look, people are clutching their pearls at this guy yelling something at the president. They are more offended by a worker standing up to the president and calling him out for his hypocrisy than they are by the president trying to cover up for a human trafficking ring

"I won't be intimidated." Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo)

This should alarm everyone. The FBI searched a journalist’s home and seized her work devices, despite no criminal charges. This is a direct threat to press freedom.

Just guessing here, but I suspect the White House is pushing so hard for wars of conquest on multiple fronts because they see their support collapsing ahead of the midterms and worry they won't get another shot. An example of how tyrants become more dangerous as they get weaker, not less.

Velazquez: The American people are upset. They did not sign on for this. The most fundamental principle for the American people is fairness and humane policies, not beating the shit out of people, especially vulnerable women and children.

Craig: "In my district, 2 days ago a special ed teacher pulled into her school parking lot, her windows were smashed, she was taken & detained for 12 hours. I've never seen such an out of control agency. That's why as soon as I leave, I'm joining a group to file articles of impeachment against Noem"

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

$$$ (and lack of $$$) talks . . .

Goldman: Until DHS reins in this rogue and authoritarian ICE secret police force, there should be no more funding provided to DHS.

The Trump administration is psychologically incapable of backing down, which means that I would give it even odds that they attempt this. The biggest obstacle would be that it will be very hard to find a grand jury in Minneapolis to approve it.

Rep. Lieu: “Greg Bovino last night made a post that essentially called protesters, ‘cannon fodder.’ He needs to delete that post, or he needs to resign…If Greg Bovino and the administration doesn't turn down the rhetoric, it's going to cause more people to get killed.”

Texas got more energy last year from solar power than from coal—and no wonder. Solar power costs less than other sources of electricity and is much faster to build. That’s huge for the health of our planet and our people. #txlege www.houstonchronicle.com/business/ene...

NEW: Top DOJ officials quit after their division refused to probe Minnesota ICE shooting - At least four leaders of the Civil Rights Division resigned because the section's head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good. www.ms.now/news/doj-civ...

Another loss for King Trump . . . The grants supported hundreds of clean energy projects in 16 states, including battery plants, hydrogen technology projects, upgrades to the electric grid and efforts to capture carbon dioxide emissions.

Just noticed post-game that the Houston Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair has “STOP THE GENOCIDE” written on his nose tape.

This is a big no-no in armed combat. It’s like dressing up as a doctor or a nurse and then shooting someone. If this is proven accurate, it’s 100% a war crime.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

Rep. Casten has it absolutely correct: Trump is *both* weaker *and* more dangerous than ever. Buckle up, but don't be afraid. Because fear is how he wins.

Trump’s attack on Fed already starting to backfire. Republican Sen. Tillis: “I will oppose the confirmation of any nominee for the Fed—including the upcoming Fed Chair vacancy—until this legal matter is fully resolved.”

This is precisely how you should respond to a bullshit investigation. “This new threat is not about my testimony last June, or the renovation of the Federal Reserve Buildings… this is a consequence of not following the preference of the President”

The Department of Justice's effort to gain access to you sensitive personal information continues. DOJ wants this data to be able to suppress the vote and subvert election results next Fall. They are suing 24 states to gain access. My law firm and I are fighting them in court in every one of them.

Indeed, even this is not really an exaggeration at this point. The United States of America Except When The Mad King Decides Otherwise?

By the way, if you’re on the side of thinking that ICE is going to win whatever this “war” against the people they talk about…. They aren’t And the statute of limitations goes past three years for a lot of crimes

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Traveling? Be aware that US Customs might demand to see what’s on your phone upon entry. Here’s some advice on how to handle the problem. GIFT ARTICLE

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

$40 billion bail out to Argentina, “running” Venezuela, a six figure bribe to everyone in Greenland, giving Qatar an air base in Idaho… …and he has the audacity to say there’s not enough to pay for healthcare in AMERICA?!

While the US walks away from long-time economic and strategic partners, the EU is forming a much larger trading block. Canada is also disengaging from the US, which turned its back on our closest and best ally. #econsky E.U. & South America Form Free-Trade Zone www.nytimes.com/2026/01/09/b...

Guess who was president both times?

So, correct me if I’m wrong, but all you have to do to abduct a woman now is dress in camo, cover your face and have a gun and we have to submit or risk death? How are we supposed to know if you’re ICE or not?

Meanwhile, Texas turns over voter rolls, including sensitive information, to less-than-trustworthy DOJ.

The jobs report is in. What a disaster.

1/2 🧵Tell an authoritarian how much you hate him, and he gets a surge of energy, and comes at you even stronger. Publicly ridicule him...and laugh at him, it's like you wield a magical power. Humiliation destabilizes authoritarians by stripping status...without triggering fear.

On any given day, there are hundred of thousands of US citizens in Mexico. Ex-pats. Tourists. Biz people - maybe even Ted Cruz and his family This is just so fucking reckless and the fallout would be catastrophic

Flanked by Governor Kotek and other local officials, Portland Mayor Wilson is now addressing the public about today's shooting by federal immigration agents. He says it's no longer possible to take the federal govt at its word when it comes to these incidents.

Federal agents shot and wounded 2 people in Portland in an incident that may involve immigration enforcement. The story is developing and few facts are known.

Swalwell: You better believe that accountability is coming. Immunity is going to be stripped. And to Kristi Noem, Tom “Cashbag” Homan, Greg Bovino—your asses are going to be in these witness chairs.

Tim Walz is mobilizing the MN National Guard, and reminds Minnesotans that the guard "is OURS - our teachers and our neighbors." He asks Minnesotans to respect them. "They're there to protect you and your constitutional rights. They don't wear masks."
