Short🧵of @theintercept.com's coverage of NSPM-7 and Trump's secret domestic terrorist list. NSPM-7 conflates constitutionally protected speech with “domestic terrorism” & specifically targets those that espouse anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, anti-Christianity, and antifascism.

EXCLUSIVE: Justice Democrats & the new PAL PAC are endorsing Kat Abughazaleh in IL-09. This comes as AIPAC is flooding IL with cash to influence four upcoming races. Abughazaleh is JD’s 12th endorsement this cycle & PAL PAC’s first insurgent candidate theintercept.com/2026/02/12/a...

Chicago Alderwoman Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth is claiming in an IG post that AIPAC used her image without her permission in mailers sent by Elect Chicago Women in IL-09 & falsely suggested she endorsed state Sen. Laura Fine. Manaa-Hoppenworth endorsed state Rep. Hoan Huynh

In a video shared with Palantir employees, Alex Karp did not explain how ICE is utilizing the company's products. Instead, workers were told they can sign NDAs if they want detailed information.

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship. Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

Quick rundown of what’s happening in IL-07: we reported in November that Jason Friedman had received $ from 35+ AIPAC donors though the group hadn’t formally endorsed in the race. Today AIPAC’s super PAC United Democracy Project went up w/ ads for one of his opponents, Melissa Conyears-Ervin

I just saw Marty supreme and guys…. what was that

The DNC deleted this press release from its website

and every step taken before actually posting the video was ... also erroneous?

UPDATE: Asked the White House how it could defend Trump’s racist post of the Obamas as just showing “Democrats as characters from The Lion King" given it has no gorillas. They repeated the defense … and then blamed it on an unnamed staffer who "erroneously made the post." "It has been taken down."

Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963. The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"

AIPAC donors are flooding the NJ-11 special election with last-minute cash. A spox for AIPAC's super PAC explained their strategy: "Tom Malinowski talks about conditioning aid to Israel. That’s not a pro-Israel position and he knows it." theintercept.com/2026/02/04/a...

SCOOP: AIPAC donors flooded Lt. Governor Tahesha Way's campaign with >$50,000 in the final weeks of the race for NJ-11.

Dems competing for LVP

New Intercept Briefing ep TOMORROW: I interview the top Minneapolis prosecutor investigating the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, Hennepin County Atty Mary Moriarty. Sneak peak: even she doesn’t know the ID of the officers who killed Pretti. Listen wherever podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Oh my god www.pressherald.com/2026/01/28/i...

i could be wrong, but i dont think this is a policy change. either homan doesn't know MN jails can/do do this already, or he's playing it up to make it look like he's getting MN officials to move

Homan also said he met with MN AG Keith Ellison who he said agreed to let jails notify ICE when a target is released. I’ve asked Ellison’s office to clarify this - Hennepin County DA Mary Moriarty has said she’s also waiting for clarification on what if anything this changes

Homan is currently blaming the killings in Minneapolis on “hateful rhetoric” — toward ICE

steve: why does everything have to happen all the time

Chuck Schumer just announced demands on DHS to avoid shutdown: 1. End roving patrols, tighten rules on warrants 2. Enforce accountability & unified code of conduct for agents 3. No more masks & require bodycams There are *already* standards on much of this. The issue is DHS isn't following them!

NEWS: JVP Action endorses Claire Valdez in NY-07

New episode alert!

New documents The Intercept fought to unseal in AAUP v Rubio confirm that DHS found no links to support for terror in cases for Mahmoud Khalil, Mohsen Mahdawi, or Yunseo Chung -- but that their cases were all based on speech in support of Palestine and criticism of Israel:

As we head into 2026 I am overwhelmed by the support from our readers and the investigative journalism you allow us to do. A few highlights…

We've got matching funds through December 31, so if you give $5, we’ll get $10. Help us investigate *looks around* all of this.

NEW: Candidates are increasingly distancing themselves from AIPAC while still meeting with the group in private and taking $ from its donors. The pro-Israel lobby isn’t receding - it’s going back to operating behind closed doors to influence elections theintercept.com/2025/12/30/a...
