A federal judge, in a published order, so very much on the record: “ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

Dr Oz stood in front of an Armenian bakery in Los Angeles & accused the bakery of engaging in massive fraud. Oz is the son of Turkish immigrants & holds dual citizenship. Per Ana Kasparian on X:

ICE is violating the Constitution in Minnesota. I tried to count the many, many ways. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Brad Lander is in Minneapolis.

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!

jfc. when you've lost George Will...

Two people have been abducted from Scotland in the middle of the night by the US military. Despite an order from our highest court that they be kept here. The Scottish Government must show that actions have consequences by evicting American troops from their base at publicly-owned Prestwick Airport

DOJ announces 16 arrests in MN for “allegedly assaulting federal law enforcement,” and you gotta wonder now how difficult it will be to convince a MN jury to believe federal LEO testimony.

Looks like attendance at the World Cup may be no better than at Melania Trump's movie www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

40 years ago today, we lost seven heroes aboard Challenger. As an astronaut who commanded the space shuttle after this tragedy, I think about them often. Their courage pushed the boundaries of exploration. Today, we remember their sacrifice and the legacy they left behind.

Everyone should be putting up NO ICE NO CPB NO FEDERAL AGENTS GET A JUDICIAL WARRANT OR STAY OUT signs everywhere.

Yikes— @propublica & @TNLookout on Speaker @CSexton25 helping his Payday Lender donors (Advance Financial) blocking laws to keep their predatory lending walled off from their struggling sports gambling venture.🤔 (w/ well known GOP Operative investors) tennesseelookout.com/2026/01/27/h...

Last year, a human trafficking victim trapped in a crypto scam compound in the Golden Triangle region of Laos contacted me. He then proceeded to leak to me a huge collection of the compound's internal materials. Then he had to get out alive. This is his story. 🧵👇 www.wired.com/story/he-lea...

The national rate of pediatric firearm deaths increased by 54% from 2004 to 2023, with most U.S. kids now living in states where firearm injury is the leading cause of death. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Impressive to go to Congress to explain how you are now doing appropriations.

I live an hour north of Minneapolis and they’re here too. They’re rounding up workers in chicken processing plants and breweries.

ICE pointed guns at a retired couple in a church lot and lied. No warrant. No rights. Just terror. PAXIS tells us that’s unconstitutional. You have the right to remain silent, see a judicial warrant, and not open the church door. PAXIS holds that line. Learn more & support: www.paxis.app

As long as we are talking about Trump Cabinet officials worthy of impeachment, I think Pam Bondi's "give me Minnesota's voter rolls and MAYBE we'll pull the murderous secret police from your streets" letter is something Democrats should be filing away for the next time they take the House

“I can’t stay silent, and neither should you,” Ringwald said. “It’s not becoming a fascist government; it is a fascist government.” parade.com/news/molly-r...

Buried lede: a cabinet secretary claims to have been taking direction from someone who has never held a Senate-confirmed position

A Plymouth company that makes iris-scanning software has joined the ranks of technology firms helping federal immigration authorities assemble a vast surveillance apparatus to identify targets for arrest. @bostonglobe.com

Trump is helping China grow #econsky

Meanwhile the U.S. government just shed **10,000*** STEM PhDs from the federal workforce in a single year. www.science.org/content/arti...

There is a push for making public sector employees at will, i.e. they can be fired for any reason by politicians. Trump shows how such powers will be abused. This report does a great job of debunking claims that at will employement is working at the state level. ourpublicservice.org/publications...

New on MS NOW: Republican Sen. Thom Tillis says Kristi Noem "should be out of a job."

Our nation’s policies are currently being dictated by a propaganda production company that recently had to pay $787,000,000 for lying. No wonder things are such a mess.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

This is why I have real fucking problem with blithe criticisms of "polarization" or "congressional dysfunction." We have a Republican member blaming his colleague for being attacked. The problem isn't polarization or dysfunction. It's the Republican Party.

Excellent explanation of how ICE moves immigrants from one prison facility to another to deny them access to justice.

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.” newrepublic.com/article/2057...

Gaby and Luisa played really well and they are somewhat of a bad matchup for Hsieh/Penko as their hand skills and overheads do a lot to nullify Penkos power and Hsiehs trickiness. They played really well. #TennisSky

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law. The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia: tile.loc.gov/storage-serv...

To give you a sense of how fundamentally unserious the Trump administration's leaders are, I give you this exchange between the head of DOJ Civil Rights and old-school conservative legal commentator Ed Whelan.

Perhaps the most obvious example of what happens when you let the crazies run the country The conspiracies they adopted when out of power (which serve to reduce belief in authoritative sources like science and government) blow up when they are treated like actionable knowledge Shrapnel everywhere

Tim Cook's milquetoast statement is simply an attempt to mollify his employees and the public while his material actions support the administration. Shame.

"Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s chief executive, approved allowing minors to access artificial intelligence chatbot companions that safety staffers warned were capable of sexual interactions, according to internal Meta documents filed in a New Mexico state court case and made public on Monday."

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks

“To you this is murder?” “Yes. I know it is. — People are feeling like there’s nobody here to help us. What can we do? The constitution doesn’t seem to matter.” She witnessed the killing of Alex Pretti, now she is bravely coming forward. Stella is the best of us. 🇺🇸

Hozumi/Wu were intermittently _very_ good but Mertens/Zhang were scratchy unlike the previous round where they were on point. A little lucky to get through. Both teams solidifed in the 3rd but the break held. #TennisSky

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over. In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

Igas serve just was not there. Wasn’t even a plan B needed if you are serving like that.won 17% of 2nd serve in the second set. #TennisSky

An officer approached the car, and Antunes-Maradiaga held a piece of paper up to the window, a Know Your Rights flier saying he didn’t have to open the door. Unimpressed, the officer smashed the car window and pulled him out, putting a gun to his head. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:
