Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., rolls out his demand for supporting a DHS appropriations bill: fire Stephen Miller

Here's our report from inside the Senate Democratic caucus, where the strategy to block DHS funding is set and the list of demands is expanding. prospect.org/2026/01/26/i...

NEWS from inside the Senate Dem meeting tonight: 1-Schumer has the votes to block the DHS funding bill 2-They're going to ask for real investigations into the murders (including an end to impeding the state/local investigations), an end to masks and arrest quotas. (cont'd)

Just to build on this: The Republican elected officials who express concerns about Trump to their Democratic peers behind the scenes are bullshitting those peers, but all too often it's something those peers find convenient to pass along because it justifies avoiding conflict. Mutual kayfabe.

Weird framing. How about: "A federal judge has rejected claims by a conservative group that Northwestern University's law school discriminates against white men in faculty hiring"?

Tyler O'Ryan Gramlin, 32, of Borden, IN is a Border Patrol Agent who has traveled from state to state committing extreme violence. On Jan 21, 2026 Gramlin emptied a can of pepper spray directly in the face of a prone protester at point-blank range in Minneapolis #MPLS #OneOfOursAllOfYours #UnmaskICE

A Cuban detainee’s death at an El Paso federal immigration detention center was ruled a homicide Wednesday, with the medical examiner finding he was suffocated while restrained, contradicting immigration officials’ claim that he died by suicide.

We're cooked. Thanks Dems

Quite the statement from the Prime Minister of Poland

You’re a US senator, sir. Do better than this.

70% of all Harris voters in 2024 and 65% of all self identified Democrats believe Israel has committed genocide 60% of Democrats believe Israel kills children intentionally and whopping 77% overall have a negative view of Israel.

that’s right

I need to apologize for something I did. The @bostonherald.com is right, there is no place for profanities in politics.

this is the lawyer who quit Skadden (biglaw firm) early on when they caved btw for anyone who doesn’t know

what a legend lmao

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

Nope. Not this. Republicans ran on “repeal and replace Obamacare” (with some mythical “better” plan that never materialized) for FIFTEEN years. We can run on repealing and replacing ICE in ‘26/‘28…and actually DO it.

I am just a pollster, standing in front of a bunch of elected Dems, asking them to lead on public opinion rather than hedge and tiptoe and moderate for fear an imaginary future backlash that will probably be manufactured by the right wing ecosystem anyway, regardless of what Dems do or don’t say.

If you see one, the most important thing to say is “WHAT’S YOUR NAME” because otherwise the person is gone for good, maybe. I witnessed one in an alley as the sole pursuit car, I was the only witness, I froze for a second and didn’t shout it in time, and the guy is just… gone now. I’ll never know.

Being right about trump was boring, tedious, partisan, ideological. Being wrong about trump? Heterodox, contrarian, free thinking.

Disguising yourself as a civilian in order to carry out a lethal attack is called perfidy and it’s one of the most serious of war crimes. The usual punishment is execution.

In another part of the interview, she says an agent who was driving her to Whipple stopped and pulled her out of the car to beat her again. She says she told the agent she would be at his trial at Nuremberg. “They’re enjoying it,” she told @statuscoupnews.bsky.social.

this is at least the third clip I've seen of journos asking Frey about the F bomb and I mean, give me a fucking break

If I was advising the EU—and I 100% should be—my advice is that you prepare three sets of sanction packages: 1. Deliberate targeting of personal/corporate assets of Trump, Musk, Andressen, Sacks, etc like they’re Russian oligarchs by doing stuff like seizing Gigafactory Berlin. This gets used first.

I think about this July 2024 threat from the head of the Heritage Foundation quite a lot these days.

“US citizens should leave Venezuela immediately” … Checking in on the country President Trump executed a coup against a week ago

For 248 years the streets of America didn’t feature a roving masked federal kidnapping squad that might send you a Central American death camp or just murder you themselves, but getting rid of it now is some impossible lefty fantasy that professional Democrats lamentably must struggle against.

Hard, hard disagree. You do not need a constitutional amendment to abolish ICE or disestablish DHS. We can do this - but not this year. A new American coalition can do it, but it'll be long after this bunch of soulless opportunists are flushed from government.

There really is no question this is an unequivocal murder. The officer fires 3 shots at the car. This still is taken before he fires the last 2 of those 3 shots: He is CLEARLY out of the car's path of travel, and in no danger whatsoever. This is murder

Democrats cannot vote for a DHS budget that doesn’t restrain the growing lawlessness of this agency.

I think Europe needs to make it clear that any attempts by the US to seize Greenland (by force or other means) would result in immediate sanctions against Trump and US officials (barring them from entering or doing business in Europe) and suspension of all visa-free travel agreements for Americans.

So @tobymorton.bsky.social is a national treasure and Hilton is fucking up royally with this nonsense. www.hiltonice.com cc: @kenwhite.bsky.social

Joe Scarborough on his call with Trump: "The president's response, 'Joe, the difference between Iraq and this is that Bush didn't keep the oil. We're going to keep the oil.' "'In 2016, I said we should have kept the oil. It caused a lot of controversy …this time we're going to keep the oil.'"

The media need to stop beating their chests about how powerful our military is. It's a point of pride when your country has a strong military that keeps the peace. It's a source of shame when politicians turn your strong military into an international armed robbery gang.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

America is not going to be rescued from utter fascism by Democrats, at least not those currently in power.

Remembering this today hehehe

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov. He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader. So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

Here's Trump judicial nominee Justin Olson today, admitting than in 2015, he gave a sermon in which he said that “marriage was not intended for all people,” including “our handicapped friends or our persons with physical disabilities that might prevent the robust marriage that we’re called to.”

"data suggests Tesla Robotaxis are crashing once every 40,000 miles, whereas the average human driver in the US crashes about once every 500,000 miles" that's just really really bad sherwood.news/tech/teslas-...
