“.. Not a single Republican member of Congress showed up to the public forum .. on the violence inflicted by federal immigration agents, featuring testimony from the brothers of Renee Good ..” @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/post/206100/...

Elizabeth is a Columbia Heights fourth-grader who loves volleyball, learning English and giggling in the halls with her friends. She's been held in the Dilley Immigration Processing Center for nearly a month, and she and her mom have both fallen ill. sahanjournal.com/education/co...

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is: In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

They are fueling their resistance.

Tonight, on behalf of Minnesota law enforcement, I filed a lawsuit against DHS to prevent the destruction of evidence related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti. DHS is not above the law, and Alex sure as hell is not beneath it.

JUST IN: Lawyers file declaration in federal court from first-hand witness to immigration agents' shooting of a US citizen onlookers today. Minneapolis Mayor Frey said details would be used to bolster case for ousting ICE from city. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

And another declaration from a medical doctor who was on scene and attempted to treat the man who was shot. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

Quid Pro Quo

We are so far off the playing field here we can't even see the stadium.

Just a gentle reminder that white-nationalist “Groypers” like Troy Robinson have long plagued Charlie Kirk’s operations because he wasn’t racist, homophobic or antisemitic enough. www.dailykos.com/stories/2019...

On Monday, Kilmar Abrego Garcia has a mandatory check-in at ICE's Baltimore field office. His family and advocates plan to hold a vigil and rally outside opposing the government's threats to whisk him to Uganda if he doesn't forfeit his right to a trial. www.allrisenews.com/p/kilmar-abr...

Today: Anti-Trump protesters marched in Washington, all the way to the White House—peaceful, defiant, rejecting his occupation of D.C.

Questions, in no particular order: 1. Where’s the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio? 2. Is there a homeland security/CT plan given recent focus on mass deportations and downgrading of CT? 3. Did the “2 weeks” backlash push him or was it a done deal? 4. Did he notify Congress at all? (More soon)

What am I worried about? -Safety of 30k US troops in the Middle East -cybersecurity (since CISA was recently gutted) & homeland security (as HLS focused on immigration) -Economic strength (oil prices and tariffs) -Allied assistance (we’ll need that now) -Domestic intell (leadership at FBI/DNI)

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

My adult daughter Rachel works everyday, pays taxes, loves going to movies with her friends, and listens to awful (IMO) music. Our U.S. Dept HHS has lost all of its humanity, compassion, and intellectual curiosity

Arizona's attorney general said she is seeking more information from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's arrest of a U.S. citizen from New Mexico.

Exclusive: Immigrants falsely labeled dead by the Social Security Administration are showing up at field offices with documents proving they are alive, leading staff to reinstate nearly three dozen people over the past week, according to records obtained by The Post.

It gets more and more disturbing by the day

And….they don’t care either

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

Can someone who’s good at the economy tell me if this is good

Pete Hegseth brought his wife to his meetings with senators so it would be awk to ask him about his alleged sexual misconduct www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

“‘It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies,’ Dr. Peter Marks wrote in a resignation letter referring to HHS Secretary RFK Jr.”

“I insist on being shocked. I am never going to become immune. I think that’s a kind of failure to see so much of it that you die inside. I want to be surprised and shocked every time.” ― Toni Morrison

It's a Free Country...or Is It? (Sadly, no. As usual, @djrothkopf.bsky.social poignantly counted the freedoms at risk, and the list is mounting.) open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Your regular reminder that no tax cut in the history of tax cuts has ever paid for itself.

😒

There is a certain irony of requiring virtually every last widget maker in government to return to the office five days per week while also allowing this. newrepublic.com/post/192150/...

Nearly 3 years after Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (a case that largely focused on abortion), GOP-run states are pushing measures to end marriage equality, www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/02/repu...

“Tesla has now plummeted more than 40% since its December 18th all-time high.” @barchart.com $TSLA

It doesn’t even say government credit cards, these sloppy morons can’t even get the basics right.

Is anyone really surprised? 😒

"This means that children are expected to show up in court, as of tomorrow, on their own, with no legal counsel, and try to defend themselves" 26,000 innocent children, some too young to read or talk, are now without legal representation in court. Morally reprehensible.

This, on top of RFKjr being HHS 😭

USAID isn’t just foreign aid—it’s a powerful tool for America’s security, influence, and values. Cutting it weakens us while empowering our adversaries. I’ve seen its impact firsthand. Watch my video and share with those who care about America’s future. 🇺🇸👇 adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/weekend-mo...

Get on it, everyone. This is an all hands on deck situation

Great time experiencing Yellowstone NP in the winter. I’m even more committed to fight for our public lands and our planet 🌎❄️🦬

People are already dying because of what Musk and Trump have done in the last two weeks.
