Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

Jared Kushner ain’t waiting in line at the Knicks game with the peasants.

BREAKING: The Trump administration is planning to implement NDAs for all federal workers. The draft of this proposed rule is already out, according to the Washington Post, and will be published tomorrow.

@normeisen.bsky.social is a gem

"The indictment’s references to the '17 Unite the Right march in Charlottesville are positively perverse. It all-but explicitly blames SPLC for the men brandishing tiki torches chanting 'Jews will not replace us' & the car that plowed into counterprotesters & killed Heather Heyer. This is nonsense!"

Trump says federal government should stop funding Medicare, daycare to focus on war

Oh, honey . . . your own Pope just rebuked you for being someone God ignores because you're a warmonger with blood on your hands. Maybe it's not the best time to try to make a buck by sanctimoniously preening over your Catholicism.

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥

No U.S. president has ever publicly stated "I'm glad he's dead" about a former FBI director or similar American official before, save for Trump's response to the death of war hero John McCain. Mueller was a Vietnam Marine vet, led the FBI 12 years post-9/11, and headed the special counsel probe.

President Trump told reporters Monday that one of his predecessors told him he wished he had been the one to bomb Iran. It appears he did not speak to any of the four former presidents.

Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious. You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?" Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely." "Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers … That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."

State of the Union Fact Check: Nope, none so far

Katyal: "I was able to go to court - the son of immigrants-- & say on behalf of small businesses, 'Hey, this president is acting illegally.' I was able to present my case, have them ask really hard questions, & at the end of it they voted & we won. That is something extraordinary about this country"

I'm not suggesting Trump's behavior proves conclusively that he's a pedophile, but I am a behaviorist, and if you were Trump, and a pedophile, here is how you'd behave: You'd agree to release files, direct your people not to release most of them, then claim you were exonerated.

Fun Fact: Every time Pam Bondi lies, a demon gets its horns.

Counterpoint: Don’t upload your medical records to any LLM. That’s fucking insane.

JFC DO NOT DO THIS!

AG Pam Bondi is utter garbage, that being said I’m grinning ear to ear watching @balint.house.gov (D-VT) take Bondi’s lunch money and then stuffing her in a locker. This is supposed to be the Secretary, I mean Attorney representing the American people not Pedo Trump.Brava Congresswoman‼️💥🔥💥

The Atlantic’s profile of Bondi has some wow. @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."

The bravery, resilience and sacrifice of many in our city to protect and support vulnerable communities show the world Minneapolis’ values. We’re honored the city was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize – and it’s because of your courageous solidarity to promote democracy, human rights and peace.

Racist garbage continues to emanate from this President and his White House.

BREAKING: Ian Austin, who was arrested for participating in an anti-ICE protest, has been released.

Unusual? Try unprecedented and horrifying. Trump Had Unusual Call With F.B.I. Agents After Election Center Search www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

I asked @governorwalz.mn.gov what it was like to hear @brucespringsteen.net’s new song about Trump’s masked agents killing Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Watch, learn and share.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

I’ve never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.

If Stephen Miller is still in the White House, that means the white nationalist gameplan is still all systems GO. What we're witnessing is just window dressing and distractions. Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino, but less openly Nazi. Keep your eyes wide open.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

Stephen Miller, Not (Just) Kristi Noem and Greg Bovino, Must Be Held Accountable www.emptywheel.net/2026/01/26/s...

The administration is "deeply frustrated"? To my mind, Noem/Bovino carried out what the White House wanted (see statements from Miller absolving ICE and smearing Good and Pretti), and now that its backfired, they are being used by Trump as scapegoats to absolve the WH of accountability. Dont forget.

Agents keep detaining Native Americans— especially if they live outside the reservation boundaries. (This Standing Rock tribal member in Minnesota was released at 5 am the next day.)

Damn proud of Minnesota.

Now that’s American.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

BASH: It feels as though you're blaming the victim here BOVINO: The victims are the Border Patrol agents. I'm not blaming the Border Patrol agents. The victims are the Border Patrol agents.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

I like how he answered "as an American," rather than just as a Minnesotan.

The whole interview is worth it

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Seven democrats and every republican voted to fund this… YESTERDAY

Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.
