"So here’s a simple rule for Trump and his friends: if you don’t want to be called Nazis, stop hiring Nazis, quoting Nazis and posting Nazi imagery." From my piece from last month.

Former ICE lawyer Ryan Schwank: “I received secretive orders to teach new cadets to violate the Constitution.”

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."

Anyone else tired of being shamed for being against corporate fascism? I am! ✋

By the way, while we argue, the fascists are making tremendous progress on the concentration camp warehouses we will all be in soon.

Wow. What an incredible idea. We should write this system down on paper and call it, say, the Constitution

Lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell are fighting the requested public release of 90,000 pages related to Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell, saying a law used to force the release is unconstitutional. The docs are from a civil defamation lawsuit brought a decade ago by the late Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre.

BREAKING: @democracydefendersfund.org is filing an OIG complaint after DOJ illegally withheld records from AG Pam Bondi, DAG Todd Blanche & other leaders discussing the Epstein files @axios.com: "DOJ omitted communication from Bondi, Patel in Epstein files, watchdog says"

You can scream all you want about the election being rigged, but your lawyers lost their licenses and went bankrupt. We all heard you beg for 11,780 votes. Your poll numbers are in the toilet. The economy is shot, except for your $4B grift. And Epstein is not going away.

Steve Bannon is the most influential person in the MAGA movement — what he says goes. And he just promised ICE would be at the polls this November. The message couldn’t be clearer: Republicans are planning to steal the midterms. It’s time to stop living in denial, Marc Elias writes.

I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.

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.

I'm old enough to remember writing an oped on this particular subject www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/geo...

Make no mistake, he is justifying violence if he objects to the outcome of an election. Keep that in mind as we prepare for 2026.

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder. " Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..." www.al.com/news/2026/01...

Now the crime boss wants other countries to pay him protection money. fortune.com/2026/01/17/t...

Remember when Presidents did national speeches for emergencies or times where a nation needs to hear from their leader? This angry old man is literally screaming and clearly panicking

For 20 minutes, Americans watched Donald Trump address the nation, “drenched in pure panic as he tried to bully an entire nation into admitting he’s doing a great job,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

QUIET PIGGY

Trump is objectively pro sexual abuser. Congrats maga, this is what you voted for

This is what I told my Dad last night: The TACO presidency is not over, but his aura of invincibility is. It’s not one thing. It’s the cumulative effect of a shit economy, wildly unpopular tariffs, ICE terrorizing communities, his flip flopping on H-1B visas, redistricting not going all that well

After Trump said only "stupid" or "foolish" Republicans are pushing to release the Epstein files, MTG responded and said the release is long overdue

With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

REMINDER: President Biden NEVER cut SNAP payments, never even had a government shutdown. In fact, he cut child poverty in half. He cut child hunger, too. I miss having a REAL President.

@governorwalz.mn.gov Please have your staff look into this. It’s about the voters in your state and merits a look see. youtu.be/3XERg8QilFA?...

@governor.pa.gov please have your staff look into this asap. This is about your state. youtu.be/3XERg8QilFA?...

Trump every time he’s confronted about one of his lies: “Who are you with?” Reporter: Gives name of company. Trump: You’re fake news. You’re terrible. I’m not calling on you anymore! You should be ashamed of yourself! This is why nobody watches you! Then goes back to lying.

This seems like a pot-kettle situation

While US venture capitalists were buying monkey jpegs, and DOGE coins, and figuring out how to get Black women fired, and tweeting about white birthrates, and trying to mandate which bathroom trans kids should use, China was making progress on climate change and taking the lead in a real industry.

I think democrats should push for a thorough review of all Elon Musk govt contracts as part of their 2026-8 portfolio. Why are taxpayers financing the work of a racist near-trillionaire? Leaving that unexamined was one of the biggest failures of the last Dem majority.

This is horrible. #Thugs

I’m watching this dizzying political makeover like I would a bad Christmas romcom

Trump taking a victory lap because Walmart made their Thanksgiving meal smaller and crappier (and hence cheaper) is such a perfect encapsulation of his hucksterism

Rep. Jason Crow: "Trump and Republicans were the ones that shut this government down because they froze us out of negotiations. They literally recessed the House of Representatives over a month ago and haven't even opened the doors, so we can't even debate, vote, or negotiate."

Take this for what it is; an acknowledgment by the White House that they are not focusing on people with criminal records.

Ah yes, the $2 gas fantasy! Brought to you by the same guy who champions tax cuts for billionaires and tariffs that impact everyday Americans.

NEW: The NAACP sued Virginia election officials, alleging they're unlawfully rejecting college students’ voter registration applications and same-day registration provisional ballots for missing optional information such as dorm name or room number.

"Factchecking Trump on '60 Minutes'" In today's 'First Draft' morning newsletter from Zeteo, I counted and debunked at least *17 obvious, brazen lies* that the president told CBS's Norah O'Donnell, and that she just let slide:

Paxlovid from Pfizer costs $15 to make and now retails for $1500. Insane

They lied. Weird
