. @mprnews.org was on the ground in Minneapolis right away this morning, and we have been covering ICE immigration actions since they announced a surge in December. Follow our live feed here as we confirm details of today's killing of an observer by a federal agent: share.google/iJp6yRVFbHfT...

Most of you who’ve followed me for awhile know I am educated, informed and politically active… But I cannot stand this fucking shit! When will it end? Will it ever end?

On that last point: the car only suddenly accelerated after they shot her. The vehicle wasn't a danger to anyone until they made it one by killing the driver. It was only dumb luck that it crashed into a pole and not a person.

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training. This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One. I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

MN AG Keith Ellison: "We will investigate. The state of Minnesota is part of the investigation. This is important. There needs to be a situation where the feds are not just investigating the feds, particular when you've got Kash Patel at the head of the FBI now. There needs to be state involvement."

HuffPost has obtained a video of a physician trying to give medical care to the woman shot and killed by ICE goons today, and not being allowed to go near her. The ICE agents claim there are medics on site, but witnesses scream that there are no medics present

When you think it can’t get more sinister and terrifying, it does. Without these data, we will be so unmoored. RFK has to be stopped, and he still can be. Impeach or fire, now

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), run by Oz and his boss, RFK Jr., will no longer require physicians to report vaccination rates. Instead, they plan to start having doctors report if they’ve discussed “alternative” vaccine schedules.

Today, Trump suggested Greenland could be subject to invasion. "We do need Greenland, absolutely," Trump said. "We need it for defense." He's living a megalomaniac's dream, but an attack on EU & NATO country means the response could actually be *here*. #ProudBlue www.npr.org/2026/01/04/n...

Trump is violating domestic & international law. Republicans: crickets Make sure you VOTE EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICANS OUT OF OFFICE! For the price of war, we can give EVERY American health care, child care or free college. Trump wants to enrich his big oil buds, not us.

Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened: -- a second strike against Venezuela -- Cuba -- Mexico -- Colombia -- Iran -- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

This is extraordinary, heartbreaking, and a red alert warning sign for our democracy. These people are about to be federal judges, and they refuse to answer whether the U.S. Capitol was attacked on January 6. They say they can't comment because it's "a political controversy".

Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸@judiciarydems.senate.gov

Sen. BLUMENTHAL: Was the U.S. Capitol attacked on January 6, 2021? Trump nominee: *dodges* Trump nominee: *dodges* Trump nominee: Well, individuals entered the Capitol. Blumenthal: You are in fear—how will you have the courage to be fair and impartial?

Turning the military on citizens. Attempting to rig elections. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political opponents and calling for their executions. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

#ProudBlue #Resist Here’s a candidate worthy of the vote & attention of women (& men) in Arkansas. She’s also a role model for woman who asked “should I run for office.” YES! We are already a “safety net” for parents, husbands, kids, schools & our bosses. Listen to @hallieshoffner.bsky.social!

Hallie Shoffner@hallieshoffner.bsky.social

We need a country that stops using women as the safety net for its failures. That’s what I’m fighting for. Because when women have support, families stand stronger. Communities get stronger. Arkansas gets stronger. #arkansas #women #childcare #healthcare #womenshealth

"This war can be brought to an end, but the basic logic remains what it always was: the Ukrainians have to be supported so that Russia no longer aspires to destroy their country. That is the foundation. Negotiations will work when that has been achieved."

Timothy Snyder@timothysnyder.bsky.social

We hear that Putin and Trump (or their emissaries) have been secretly consulting about a settlement to the war. Given the inherent traps of allowing an aggressor to decide the outcome of his war, I try here to give a sense of how negotiations might actually work. snyder.substack.com/p/how-to-neg...

Whether it's Donald Trump appearing 1700 times in Epstein's emails or some Democrat delegate from the Virgin Islands no one has ever heard of sending a few texts to Epstein once, both sides have their hands very dirty.

media coverage of this is already as pathetic as you might expect, usually failing to mention: the FCC has no authority over the UK's BBC the scandal was created by right wing media the year-old BBC edits fall outside limits of UK defamation law PBC, NPR never aired the documentary

Tim Karr@timkarr.bsky.social

Trump's censor in chief at the FCC, Brendan Carr, just sent a letter to the heads of BBC, NPR and PBS informing them he's launching a "news distortion" probe into the BBC's editing of a documentary on Trump's Jan. 6 activities. Here it is:
