Trump says he has the power to seize ballots — and now his spy chief is joining FBI raids of election offices. But guess what? I co-wrote the order he’s talking about. He’s lying. And a crime might be in progress. www.defiance.news/p/why-we-sho...

ICE knock on glass door to bakery with barrel of guns—employee "almost got killed by ICE tonight." As one of only white people in store—manager hid Korean immigrant coworkers in freezers "World War II style." Agent told him they "didn't need" and "didn't care" about a warrant. Minneapolis, MN

So the FBI has time to raid an elections office in Georgia in order to prop up Trump’s conspiracy theories about losing the 2020 election… but not to release the Epstein Files?

In theater. So they think they’re at war.

HUGE UPDATE: we confronted Congressman Tom Suozzi. He is one of seven Democrats casting the decisive votes to increase ICE funding by $10,000,000,000. Hideous, grotesque, fascist-loving coward, this man has blood on his hands. We will not forgive and we will not forget.

"It’s time to wake up. Trump seems keen on influencing the vote in states that will decide margins in 2026 and the outcome in 2028. And that he has the FBI participating in his effort is a terrifying demonstration of just how many guardrails he has steamrolled..." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

The biggest lie in the Epstein coverup is that Epstein and Maxwell were the only rich and powerful people who abused young girls. Maxwell is now saying others were involved. We need to find out names on Feb 9 during her deposition. All of these names are in the Epstein files.

Poor kid.

The only reason Homan replaced Bovino as the face of the occupation is because his lies are more polished and he doesn’t dress like a member of the Third Reich in public. But the policies and the state instigated violence remain unchanged.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

No masks, no anonymity, real warrants. This should be the standard everywhere.

If ICE keeps sweeping up American citizens, ripping families apart, and detaining people WITHOUT due process, the problem is STRUCTURAL — not a few bad apples. Call your Senators NOW at 202-224-3121. Tell them to VOTE NO on the $64B+ DHS bill! No more money for ICE. #DefundICE

Completely heartless.

Trump to young people hoping to afford a home in the near future: Tough shit. bsky.app/profile/atru...

At the Cabinet meeting, Trump called on heavyweight luminaries such as Kelly Loeffler, Chris Wright, Lee Zeldin, Nutlick and others - but not Kristi Noem. Nope, never called on Noem to speak. Sad.

They don't call him Nutlick for nothing.

NEW: Republicans in Congress have unveiled a new bill that would impose the most extreme voting restrictions ever proposed at the federal level. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"Clearly, Schumer and the leadership of the Democratic Party still, even now, have no real conception of what is happening in our country. Because these are not normal times, and we are so, so far from a normal America." - from today's First Draft

In an alarming development, North Carolina’s GOP-led election board is considering labeling certain voters as “presumptive noncitizens,” potentially purging them from the rolls. It's the latest move in a nationwide effort to politicize voter list maintenance and undermine confidence in the election.

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota confronted their boss Daniel Rosen over DOJ's refusal to open criminal probes of the immigration enforcement agents who killed two protesters. They threatened to resign, days after six others quit, threatening a staffing collapse.

Three artists have now dropped out of Kid Rock's 2026 Rock the Country tour. After rapper Ludacris said in mid-January he would not be on the festival tour, headlined by Rock and other vocal conservatives, two more artists—country singers Morgan Wade and Carter Faith—have backed out of the lineup.

Collins: I'm not sure I've ever been in a cabinet meeting covering the president, where he did not take questions from reporters. He called on a handful of cabinet secretaries, but one that he notably did not call on was Kristi Noem

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

Millions of young people looking to buy their first home — like my youngest daughter and her husband — will NOT be happy to hear this. Trump is such an idiot! 😡

People who begin by shooting animals they find unpleasant or not worthy of living often turn out to be serial killers. Remember that when you think about Kristi Noem.

Frey: "In Mpls, we heard them say they'll end this siege when we hand over voter rolls. The DOJ is being used as a weapon. They're investigating me and several other local elected officials not because we've done something wrong because we speak on behalf of our constituents.

There really is no low this man won’t sink to.

Trump’s message is clear: he doesn’t care about making it more affordable for young people to buy their first home. He cares about the wealthy.

Thank you, President Obama. Amplifying your message, and a link to these resources in the comments.

The targeting of Fed Chair Jerome Powell is our warning. The Fed must stay independent not because it's perfect, but because once monetary policy becomes political, economic stability collapses. Check out one of my recent Substack articles, along with a video, at the link in my reply.

NEW: I am cracking down on DHS’s surveillance… and pressing for answers on how they’re mining our data and using it in immigration enforcement. In addition to all the other guardrails we need to put on ICE, we cannot let DHS set up a massive & unchecked surveillance apparatus.

Then Trump should rescind the order!

Any “concessions” that Senate Democrats squeeze out of Republicans are pure theater. Trump and Stephen Miller will ignore them anyway — it’s all LIES. Schumer and every Senate Democrat must STOP funding ICE and Border Patrol NOW. No more blank checks for brutality and murder. #DefundICE

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”

SCOOP Meta has started blocking links to ICE List on Facebook, Instagram and Threads www.wired.com/story/meta-i...

Federal deployment to Minneapolis "is steady state and expected to continue as planned," per Border Patrol memo leaked to me

This much is clear: Stephen Miller is in charge. They've shipped off Bovino, they're hanging Noem out to dry, Trump is using slightly conciliatory language...and Miller is still running a blitzkrieg in Minnesota. He, not Trump, is in charge. And he is the one Democrats should fight to remove.

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

Ghislaine Maxwell dropped a bombshell, alleging that nearly 30 friends of Jeffrey Epstein reached “secret settlements” and were never indicted.

The Republican Party.

Trump as his speech is interrupted by a demonstrator: "You do know they are paid agitators, right? They get paid. These are all paid agitators, that's all they are. They get paid. They're paid insurrectionists. They're sickos."

I think if we let her keep the outfits she might leave.

Trump is a lifelong racist, spawned from a racist father who was spawned by a racist father. I fucking loathe this hate filled racist traitor. Here’s D Vance before showing the spectrum of his true colors. Fuck opportunistic fraud and liar, JD Vance, too.
