WSJ Exclusive: A U.S. intelligence official has alleged wrongdoing by Tulsi Gabbard in a whistleblower complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the matter.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

The special agent in charge of the FBI’s Atlanta field office was forced out this month after questioning the Justice Department’s renewed push to probe Fulton County’s role in the 2020 election, two people familiar with the matter told MS NOW. READ: www.ms.now/news/atlanta...

Concentration camps.

Many Europeans want to be free of American and Chinese Big Tech apps. Open, decentralized protocols like ActivityPub (powering Mastodon) and AT Protocol (powering Bluesky) may be the key to a new sovereign social media infrastructure.

DHS claimed "Medics provided immediate aid to Pretti." They lied. In truth, a physician entered a sworn affidavit that ICE blocked him from reaching Pretti, and when he finally got there ICE wasn't giving him CPR, but counting bullet holes. My full analysis: www.qasimrashid.com/p/in-minneap...

Timberwolves hold a moment of silence for Alex Pretti

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

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.

Yes.

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.

CW: Shooting, murder. This is an execution in the street by ICE.

Meanwhile—panels and exhibits on slavery are being removed from all government buildings, parks, and museums. Trump wants no trace of the atrocities slaves faced, the forced family separation, denial of basic freedoms, and dehumanizing treatment. All while his fascist regime is committing the same

Remember how all these republicans pretended to believe in free speech?

A five-year-old boy seized on his way home in Minnesota and now locked up in Texas. His family didn't know where he was for 24 hours.

8th Circuit to Minnesotans: drop dead

started / going

making our strongest possible pitch to Greenland

New — I wrote about ChongLy Scott Thao, the elderly Hmong American wrongly arrested and forced out of his home by ICE in his underwear during the punishing Minnesota winter, what witnesses saw, and DHS's racist claim that he fit the description of another Asian man they were looking for. My story:

I reference this every once in a while. I had begun to "de-google" prior to trump, but with big tech practically endorsing trumps abhorrent policies with their capitulation this list becomes even more important.

Cops at her front door, holding a phone to her face, asking if that's her Facebook account. What the fuck are we doing here?

National media: Please stop describing what’s happening in Minneapolis as “protests.” There has been a modest, sustained protest outside the Whipple federal building, about 10 miles from downtown, but... 1/3

How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

For your blocking pleasure.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Oh, no Did they suffer any internal bleeding

I had the honor to introduce my replacement on 9NEWS

We’re watching Trump radicalizing an entire generation in real time

Republican South Carolina state Rep. RJ May sentenced to 17.5 years in federal prison today. 5 counts of distributing child sex abuse material. He shared hundreds of images of kids, including pictures of adults raping seven-year-olds. Moms of Liberty had named him its Legislator of the Year.

He’s been itching to use the military to shoot protesters since at least as early as the George Floyd protests in 2020.

In earlier years, the United States did more than any country to eliminate the use of offshore bank accounts as shelters -- numbered Swiss accounts ceased to be a thing thanks to Washington's reporting and filing regulations. Now we're watching the president use one.

No, they should be impeaching & removing already. The fact it’s progressed this far is already a total abdication of their constitutional responsibilities.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person. Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured. BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

Elon Musk: "I'm a free speech absolutist!" Also Elon Musk: "Anyone who teaches students that America was built on stolen land is guilty of treason and should be imprisoned." Look, some of us tried to warn people that Elon Musk doesn't care one bit about free speech. But did anyone listen?

The President telling a prime time network news host effectively "I got you this job" is not something you see every day.

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center. Read the full story here: www.propublica.org/article/vide...

So, if I'm reading this right: 4 prosecutors at the Dept of Justice Civil Rights division quit because the Trump-appointed leadership won't investigate Good's killer, and 6 from the Minnesota US Attorney's office quit when they were told instead to investigate her widow. (HT @benjaminkabak.com)

The latter part of this tweet has gone under the radar but it's an alarming escalation. The Trump admin has already detained dozens of people with full refugee status, seemingly those who had not yet adjusted to green cards, and is detaining them in Texas and seeking to strip them of their status.

New Quinnipiac poll: 53% of voters say ICE shooting of Renee Good is not justified, including 59% of independents (!) 57% of voters disapprove of how ICE is enforcing immigration laws, including 64% of independents (!!) Trump/Vance propaganda is failing

BREAKING: We've found 40+ cases of agents using banned chokeholds & other moves that can cut off breathing People have had seizures. They passed out. “I felt like I was going to die” said 16-yr-old citizen Admin won't say whether any agents have been punished www.propublica.org/article/vide...

New: Police have released info about millions of surveillance targets nationwide from thousands of different police departments because of a public records redaction error in Flock data. Reveals active police investigations, border patrol & ICE targets, lots more: www.404media.co/police-unmas...
