Resistors report arrests and injuries, including being pushed into barbed wire. CBP confirmed that all four cottonwoods marked for removal there are now gone. Centuries of life destroyed for two parallel walls cutting through the borderlands. We’re heartbroken and we’re angry!

There’s nothing I like less than listening to national broadcasters - except maybe listening to national broadcasters talk about all the ways they don’t like the sport they’re covering. #phillies #mlbonfox

A new study shows that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and over $1 trillion every year. The new research out of Yale shows that reductions in administrative overhead, lower pharmaceutical prices, less fraudulent billing, and fewer emergency care trips would lead to huge savings. /1

Refusing to deliver ballots because a state declines to hand over voter information would directly interfere with the voting process and raise serious concerns about voter access, election administration, and federal overreach into state-run elections.

In short, this admin is trying to erase a key DEFAULT method of getting a green card for over a half a century by taking the word "discretion" in the law and trying to turn it into a loophole big enough to effectively end a process Congress expressly permitted by law.

3/ From the Founding through the present day, the power of the purse has been understood as one of Congress's most potent tools against the executive: the executive can't do anything without money, and he can't spend money without Congress.

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

I’ve been covering execution-related litigation up to the Supreme Court for more than a decade. Nearly 300 people have been killed in that time. Don’t tell me that what happens via emergency applications — regularly called the shadow docket for nearly a decade — is an “interim docket.”

These were people already approved to be naturalized, yet they were stopped solely because of their countries of origin. MAGA keeps saying, “If they wanted to be in this country, they should have done it the right way.” Well, they did. And the administration still blocked them. Cruelty is the point.

Netflix’s acquisition of Warner Bros would be the latest in this harmful trend — and could kill the movie theater industry. If Netflix gets their way, their increased domination would make things worse for viewers and artists. www.wsj.com/business/med...

I'm thinking today of all my fellow veterans but especially the more than 5,000 trans service members and their families who were kicked out of the military this year despite being highly qualified and serving honorably. This injustice will be a stain on our nation's history.

Let Chuck Schumer and Dem leadership know that the lesson here is what the f* is the point of everyone getting out to vote if they’re going to immediately abandon us all.

Chuck Schumer is either allowing eight of his colleagues to be the sin eaters who take the blame for passing this shutdown deal, or he’s genuinely powerless to hold his conference together. Either way, he should be out of leadership tomorrow morning.
