Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

Not a single one of ID representatives can articulate how women are supposed to vote in the election. "Read the SAVE Act to find out what documentation is accepted" Guess what? Marriage certs are not one of the docs. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO VOTE?

Minnesota, you won. Much of ICE are leaving. Don't trust this. They are trying to get the funding bill passed. Once the bill passes they'll be back at it either by you or someplace else.

Howard Lutnick misled the American people about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein because he didn't want to admit he continued interacting with Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor.   It's a disgrace. Lutnick needs to resign as Secretary of Commerce.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

This is ridiculous. No, you do not need to watch Bondi being a craven sycophant throughout a House hearing to know that Bondi is a craven sycophant. My moving on to actual work about litigation and challenges is a better use of my time. (And moving on is likely a better use of your time, too!)

WTF!

Today’s Pam Bondi hearing, in a nutshell. Democratic Congresswoman: “Ms Bondi, there are a number of Epstein survivors in the room today. Could you turn around and acknowledge their presence?” Bondi: “The Dow is up over 50,000! Acknowledge that!”

wow -- Bondi throws a fit in response to Nadler's question about how many of Epstein's co-conspirators, if any, she's investigating, aggressively pointing at him and yelling. The hearing then devolves into chaos and Raskin and Bondi start yelling at each other.

The DOJ built its case to seize Fulton County’s election records on recycled, debunked conspiracy theories, experts say. Former prosecutors and election experts are questioning how in the world a judge found probable cause.

Breaking news: The FBI relied heavily on previously debunked claims of widespread election irregularities in Georgia as it persuaded a federal judge to sign off on plans to seize 2020 voting records from Fulton County, court documents show.

The DOJ search warrant affidavit for the FBI's Fulton County, Georgia election raid is released. The court-ordered release indicates evidence federal prosecutors presented to acquire warrant. Shockingly, raid was based on debunked 2020 election fraud claims made by notorious conspiracy theorists.

Reading the Fulton County affidavit now, which seems to say more about “if” there was probable cause than establishing that there actually is. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/u...

NEW: FBI seizure of 2020 ballots from Fulton County (Ga) was triggered by a referral from....... an attorney who worked to overturn the election results in 2020 for Trump. www.cbsnews.com/news/fulton-...

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

The President of the United States, the leader of the Republican Party, will not say publicly that he will not pardon international child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. This should shame Trump, Vance, Lindsey Graham, & every Republican. It will not.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

BREAKING: Tulsi Gabbard BLOCKED an NSA report of a call between foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump. I will sit down with the whistleblower lawyer TOMORROW at 12 PM PT on @meidastouch.com www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/u...

In Minnesota, ICE agents are illegally racially profiling residents, drawing weapons during arrests, claiming people’s citizenship documents are fake, and leaving people with long-lasting injuries. There is no excuse for Democrats to continue funding these jackbooted thugs.

The US is traumatizing thousands of kids in detention camps. But we are also traumatizing *millions* of kids who are in hiding or fear their parents being snatched. Like how we have tens of thousands of kids who have survived school shootings, and a whole generation shaped by active shooter drills.

Wow, NBC edited out the audience booing JD Vance at the Olympics. And this is one of the few remaining news outlets NOT owned by right-wing billionaire Trump sycophants www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

It doesn’t get any more disgusting than this.

They looked for “Don T” in the Epstein files and redacted all instances, which means they also redacted a lot of “don’t”

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s Secretive Silicon Valley Investments

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

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."

Epstein survivor Anouska De Georgiou: The fact that the very people who are meant to lead this country have completely retraumatized us… it’s—I mean—it’s like being raped by the Department of Justice.

Republicans are moving quickly to pass a bill requiring voters to show proof of citizenship both to register and at the polls ahead of the 2026 midterm elections — a move that experts warn could disenfranchise millions of Americans. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The orders to stop came from senior officials, including Kash Patel, who were worried that pursuing a civil rights investigation would contradict President Trump’s claim that Ms. Good “violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer” who fired at her as she drove her vehicle.

OBAMA: “People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”🔥

Good morning? Are we rid of that disgusting excuse for a president we have in the USA yet? It can’t happen soon enough. (He, instead, should have never happened 😡)

Ro Khanna: “He absolutely is going to have to testify, & that's why he doesn't want Clinton to testify — you can bet that when we have Chairman Garcia, he's going to call Donald Trump to testify, as he should — he does have answers, that he needs to answer for in terms of what happened with Epstein”

I sincerely hope that JD Vance gets this reaction every single place he goes.

In stories like this, the news media should include a sentence reading: “Many recent accusations by Homeland Security against protesters and observers have fallen apart when more facts have been revealed.”

Jacob Frey: "The continued presence of 2,000 federal agents in a city that only has 600 police officers is still not deescalation"

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

Judge Rebecca Taibleson, finds her name in the Epstein files. Guess who she clerked for? Umhmm. Scalia.

But Bezos had $75 million to spend on Melania’s vanity project.

For those keeping score at home:

I've heard from people in other cities "I'd like to see them try that in __!" No. No, you wouldn't. We have guns pointed in our faces in MN. I think you'd change your tune if this was happening to you, your family & your neighbors. Nobody knows EXACTLY how to do this. This is NEW to all of US.

As relevant as ever

They told us there was no money for healthcare. No money for kids. No money for families drowning in medical bills. But there’s always money for ICE. More cages. More raids. More cruelty. That’s not a budget problem. That’s a values problem. Fund care, not punishment. #FundHealthcareOverICE
