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

"They bought or inherited aging apartment buildings, hoping to bring home a little extra cash" ... bought, or inherited, whole ass apartment buildings

I don't know what happens next, but Liam and his family are not being deported today.

BREAKING: New reaction from Leader Jeffries to the racist Trump video: "This disgusting video posted by the so-called president was done intentionally. Fuck Donald Trump and his vile, racist, and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom feeder."

Fun thought experiment: Imagine if Biden told Ted Cruz he would withhold funds for a new highway overpass in Dallas until Cruz agreed to name the entire Texas interstate system after him.

We don't really need to connect the dots because Trump is doing it for us. He wants to take control of federal elections so he can rig them in his favor. He knows he can't win a fair election.

This is Maria, a 6-year-old detained by ICE last year. She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again. Most of all, she wanted to be reunited with her cat, Milo. 1/

(AXIOS) - Top Republicans are increasingly worried about private polling that paints a dire picture of the midterms — and it's not just the House they're afraid of losing, it's also the Senate. @axios.com www.axios.com/2026/02/06/g...

President Trump posted a video including imagery depicting former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as apes.

That’s it, exactly. ICE is trying to figure out how to make us scared. They tried following us home, didn’t work. Tried threatening us with arrest, didn’t work. Tried arresting us, didn’t work. Tried tear-gassing us, didn’t work. People just keep not being afraid of them and following them around.

oh I'm sure everybody will listen to this request

“echo” is a weird way to say “are” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u...

I am not going to repost the vile and racist image that Trump posted last night of President & First Lady Obama because it is beyond disgusting. Trump is a vile racist as is every Republican that continues to support him. I don’t want to hear mumbling from Mike Johnson or stoic silence from Thune.

Oh, were there other, less racist things, senator?

The X account that created the video Donald Trump shared depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes was previously behind the clip the US president shared that portrayed him as a pilot dumping excrement on "No Kings" protesters. Note the matching watermark.

My friends at Niemanreports.org asked me to write about the experience of being a journalist on the ground in Minneapolis right now. I knew I wanted to tell reporters elsewhere how even this most hopeless of times has been clarifying and, in some ways, energizing. (1) share.google/ms1wKDQZmgep...

Love and support you always, Cincinnati Enquirer (support local media), but esp today This is a Midwest daily paper. About as middle of the road as you can get & they understand that this is an objective, straight news headline, in the context of a planned Trump/GOP onslaught in Springfield, etc

Wow. What an impassioned/vital piece here by Peggy Noonan of the WSJ about the fate of The WashPost. Everyone should read this. Really explains the stakes. Love us or hate us, journalism/journalists have important role in democracy. Free link.... www.wsj.com/opinion/a-la...

Historian here President Abraham Lincoln opposed the Mexican War as a land grab for slavery when he was a first term Congressman from Illinois.

EXCLUSIVE: on Jan 22 we rolled up on a raid happening in South Minneapolis. we had no idea who they were taking. turns out it was a *two year old girl* and her dad on the way back from buying fruit. he had no criminal record. this is their story. youtu.be/yaeXlxJOAXU?...

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

BREAKING: The federal government has filed a motion seeking to end asylum claims for the family of Liam Conejo Ramos, according to the lawyer representing the family.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

One reason Minneapolis remains in the world's eye is we have one of the most robust & independent media ecosystems remaining in the country. You all need this...and more! @mprnews.org @startribune.com @sahanjournal.bsky.social @minnesotareformer.com @minnpost.bsky.social @racketmn.com etc.

It took a month and a chance encounter more than 1,000 miles away for an elementary school principal in Minneapolis to learn that a missing fifth-grade student, along with her family, was being held by immigration authorities in a Texas detention center.

It is an 85% decrease.

There are drawdowns. And then there’s Melania Coin.

WARNOCK: Trump said 'we're going to have a manufacturing boom.' Yes or no, have we had one? BESSENT: There's the beginnings of a manufacturing boom. We have intentions -- factory groundbreakings WARNOCK: Do you know how many manufacturing jobs have been lost since 'liberation day'? 72,000

Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began. Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

The glibness with which these people are dismissing what is, fundamentally, an extensive record of elite atrocities makes me think it’s better if I don’t finish this sentence

I want to reiterate that this shit is nuts. A federal invasion of state-run elections, an intelligence community invasion of federal law enforcement, a White House invasion of a criminal investigation, and a president’s insane treasonable sore loser obsession all rolled up and muddled together.

"We have no way of reconciling what these cases will do to water supplies." New from Miranda Williamson: The world’s largest artificial intelligence data center complex is being built in Amarillo, and it’s almost seven times the size of Central Park.

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

What an incredible message to put out into the world while heading towards the midterms. "Republicans 2026: Donald Trump demands that you pay him $10 billion."

It’s bad enough that we’re subsidizing extremely profitable sports teams with our tax dollars to build stadiums, but we’re letting them charge us $17 dollars for a beer and $11 dollars for a damn hotdog at the concession stand? Enough. Here’s one thing we can do about it.

GALLEGO: Let's say Trump wins that lawsuit. Where would that $10 billion come from? BESSENT: It would come from Treasury GALLEGO: So, taxpayers? BESSENT: Yes. Part of the 44,000 whose returns were leaked GALLEGO: They're not suing
