FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

Even more pertinent today. #DemocracyDiesinSilence #SpeakOut

A very good read on #SCOTUS

The head of the Director of National Intelligence “shall have extensive national security expertise.” 50 USC § 3023. Hasn't Trump then just nominated someone who cannot hold the position legally. Of course, anyone who cares about American security would appoint someone with the required experience.

Could someone please annotate this press release with all the “pro fraud”things this administration has done; such as pardons, insider trading, playoffs and no bid contracts?

/8 Next, the judge tells them that (1) she wasn’t inclined to find vindictive prosecution before but now she’s revisiting, and (2) there are sanctions and findings of ethical violations coming.

Trump’s settlement with DOJ is even worse than we knew. A secret add-on to the agreement was revealed today. It is an unconscionable betrayal of the American people by the president and Acting Attorney General. youtube.com/shorts/_nz15...

Nothing makes someone look guiltier than forcing the Justice Department to promise never to investigate your taxes or prosecute you for anything they might find

The $1.776B “anti-weaponization fund” announced today is a theft of our tax dollars and a fraud on the American people. Congress needs to step up and block this settlement before Trump helps himself to the rest of our tax dollars. Please share and help sound the alarm. youtube.com/shorts/4bnF4...

Nothing says I'm not a criminal like thinking that pardoning other criminals on your birthday is good way to spend it.

Minneapolis would like a minute.

86 the Comey and Southern Poverty Law Center indictments-- among the topics Mary and I tackle in this week's Main Justice podcast. youtu.be/Y49NVxx-GbI?...

Remember, back in December this same SCOTUS said it was too late to change Texas' maps (that had just been changed in August) after they were deemed (by a Trump-appointed judge) to be unconstitutional. So Dec. was too late, but May (after ballots have been sent) is fine? WTF?

This is gross.

In this clip, Kash Patel says the grand jury heard evidence that Comey deleted the '8647' post and apologized. Neither fact appears in the indictment. Hmm. Did the FBI director just disclose evidence presented before a grand jury?

Female octopuses throw rocks at males that bother them, documented in Octopus tetricus

Americans can’t afford housing, health care, or groceries, but Trump’s using taxpayer dollars to build his own arch.

Bruce Springsteen, tonight in Minneapolis, was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. A true American rock star. Grateful to have been here.

Thanks to a FOIA lawsuit from @deportationdata.org, Minnesota is getting its first credible numbers on arrests during the federal government's surge here this winter. About 3,800 Minnesota residents were arrested. Most from Latin America (only 106 from Somalia). (1)

A nicer version of this chart:

#NoKings in Tom Emmers’ district.

Wonder if these two things are related.

What is outrageous about this, among many other things, is that makes relief turn on whose loved ones have the resources to hire or luck or network to get a lawyer to file for habeas. If you don't know to file or can't, even "we have no opposition" cases lead to continued detention.

If you do, please submit a comment opposing this. DOJ attorneys should be held to same, if not higher, standards than every other attorney.

Proof once again that Minnesota is the State of Hockey! 🏒

NEW: Over the past year, we've been collecting thousands of financial disclosure documents from across the Trump administration. Now we're making them searchable. Look up names, assets, former employers across 1,500+ Trump appointees and 3,000+ ethics documents.

Abby Phillip pointed out that citizens of half the countries on Trump's "Board Of Peace" are considered so "unreliable and risky" that they can't even get a visa to the U.S., yet they're allowed to sit on the Board.

The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.

BREAKING: DOJ to investigate Supreme Court for mortgage fraud.

Trump's Friday morning so far: -- extremely disappointing 4th quarter GDP number -- inflation report hotter than expected -- Supreme Court strikes down tariffs

NEW: We’re publishing a full list of the 373 federal judges who have ruled against ICE’s mass detention policy and the 28 who have endorsed it — as well as links to key rulings by each. Trump appointees have split 44 against/ 20 for the policy. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

BREAKING: DOJ moves to drop criminal charges in alleged shovel/broom attack in Minneapolis that led ICE to open fire. "Newly discovered evidence in this matter is materially inconsistent with the allegations in the Complaint Affidavit," prosecutors say. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple. "It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees."

Let’s be clear: ICE leaving Minnesota is not justice. Justice is holding those responsible accountable for the lives lost and the devastation caused.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

@dailybeanspod.com some more information from Minneapolis. DHS keeps misrepresenting numbers and facts about “criminals” and “detainers”process in the state. The Dept of Corrections put out information to try to correct some of this. mn.gov/doc/about/ne...

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

They call it "pulling a Vatican"

Holy shit.

“Renee Good was a domestic terrorist.” “Liam Conejo’s father fled the scene.” “Alex Pretti was a domestic terrorist.” These are all examples of our “Christian government” breaking the 9th commandment: "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." (Exodus 20:16)

In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis. AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including: "Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

Operation PARRIS is one of the most heinous things this administration has done yet. Trump’s people ordered ICE to round up 5,600 legally present refugees, people who have done NOTHING wrong, with no warning, and jailed them in Texas to be interrogated about their status.
