NEW STORY: Trump admits he was the one who found the video and asked that it be posted from his Truth Social account. Refuses to apologize.

Eliminating ICE is the modern equivalent of opposing the Iraq War, and right now there are two types of Democrats: those who can see where the ball is moving and go to it, and those who will be swept away because they refused to do so.

If I was a Democratic politician I would consider that the thousands of brave patriots in this city are America’s most visible and hardened cohort of anti-Trump resisters, and if you tell them you’re going to stand with ICE, they will never care about anything else you ever do again

Well put. This is a solution in search of a nonexistent problem, all to make it far harder for millions to vote. That's vote suppression, folks.

What drawdown? Just as we suspected, Homan was full of shit. Nothing has changed for the better in Minneapolis.

Racist, vile, unacceptable. It’s time for him to be held accountable. ⬇️

What I will say is that this never should have happened to begin with. End family detention. Defund and dismantle ICE.

When Republican fascists and traitors like Trump show you who they are, BELIEVE THEM:

Never trust a Republican. They want to destroy democracy: #SAVEAct

Not a single thing we were told about #COVID turned out to be correct. A long thread 🧵

To be clear, the blanket racism, bigotry, sexism, misogyny and overall diabolical hatred as well as pure corruption is exactly what fascist republicans voted for when they chose that disgusting immoral treasonous criminal monstrosity. There’s no going back from that.

Maybe we need to take a different approach: who in this administration is *not* in the Epstein files?

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

Breaking NBC: Lawmakers on Capitol Hill will be able to begin reviewing the unredacted version of the Justice Department's files on Jeffrey Epstein starting Monday morning, according to two sources familiar with the DOJ's plans.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

They didn’t delete the meme or blame a staffer because they realized it was racist and the right thing to do. They didn’t because of public outrage. They did it because Republican senators FINALLY spoke out and they backed down. There’s a lesson in that if they will learn it.

I’m hoping Analilia Mejia and Mamdani are a wakeup call for the DNC and all moderate Dems. We need and want more outspoken, vibrant candidates who care about what people need and want, not saving face or appeasing the nazi/rapist party. If they keep giving us crap candidates, they will keep losing.

Pro tip to House reporters: Print this out and have with you BEFORE you interview Mike Johnson later today.

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program. This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE. Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

An airborne virus is a virus that can infect other people through unseen particles in the air, sometimes for hours after the sick person has left the area! Masks and clean, ventilated air can reduce the risk of getting sick from airborne viruses or infecting others.

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.

TIME magazine just released its new cover focused on Minneapolis, calling it “The Siege of an American City.” More than 3,000 federal agents have been deployed in the city in what’s being described as the largest immigration enforcement operation in U.S. history. Absolutely outrageous.

Prosecute Convict Imprison* *Other appropriate penalties may apply.

"NBC’s Softball Trump Interview Normalized an Abnormal President" I fact-checked Tom Llamas’s deferential interview with the president, in which the 'NBC Nightly News' anchor did not ask him even a single question about the Epstein files.

Fact check ✅ TRUE #Trump #Epstein

This speaks volumes about the so-called “Christians” who host this event. Disgusting.

BOMBSHELL: Epstein Met With Trump/Family 16 Days Before Becoming President According to New Email krassencast.com/p/bombshell-...

I hope every Democratic member of the House and Senate reads this and factors it into whatever funding bill gets agreed to. We have seen what ICE can do to U.S. Citizens in the streets, imagine what they will do at the polls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

MAGAs are flooding Twitter in the right wing sphere — trying to create the false impression that their “SAVE Act” is about “common sense universally popular voter ID”. JD Vance, Elon Musk, & Scott Presler are all over this. They claim to have 50 votes so far. We must push back. #NoOnSave

The headline should be, "DHS to keep 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota." Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota." This presser worked like a charm.

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

6/ The Post has lost over 375,000 subscribers in just over a year. If 10% of those readers subscribed to The 51st instead, we could hire 10 reporters and five editors, dramatically scaling our coverage of the city at this critical time. 51st.news/signup

HAPPY SIXTH ANNIVERSARY to Susan Collins saying Trump learned a “pretty big lesson” from his first impeachment. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

I believe a lot of people on here haven't a clue how U.S. Gov't works. If your political party does not hold the House th Senate or the Presidency you have no political power at all. You can slow down legislation thru administrative procedures but you can not stop this legislation. Elections matter!

🚨 Pritzker: The monsters responsible for unleashing this havoc on American cities, whether they were firing at civilians in the streets or calling the shots from their cushy offices in Washington, need to be investigated and prosecuted.

The GOP is okay with violence as long as they're the ones holding the gun.

I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible with insane billionaires like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, so it seems we're at an impasse. Let's put it to a vote!

⛓️CONCENTRATION CAMPS & INCINERATORS—D.H.S. is setting up a huge network of camps. They are converting the U.S. as a region for ‘expeditionary military deployment’ & no-bid no-public-comment contracts to build a “ghost network” of 10,000-person concentration camps. Jesus. Thread 🧵

"I have never fully believed in the concept of inherent evil...But the depraved contents of the Epstein files—combined with the murderous actions of ICE agents and the years and years of degradations and violations of Donald Trump—have finally changed my thinking." open.substack.com/pub/america/...

New — I spoke to eight people who were present at the ICE protest on Saturday in Portland, Oregon when federal agents deployed tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of families, children, elderly and disabled people, and their pets. These are their stories:

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

@EricMGarcia: What do you make of Kristi Noem calling Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist? AOC: Kristi Noem’s actions in Minnesota and her leadership on ICE in general are grounds for impeachment.

Explain to me why I’m standing in front of my childrens’ schools in subzero weather trying to make sure none of their classmates are kidnapped by armed, masked goons then.

AOC on Epstein Files: We need to get to the bottom of it. It does not matter if you are a Republican, Democrat, or donor. We are talking about sexual crimes and trafficking.

AOC: Why haven’t so many people been prosecuted? Why are Pam Bondi and the DOJ continuing to hide the majority of the Epstein files, which they admit contain even more direct evidence of genuinely shocking crimes and abuse of women, minors, and increasingly men…
