The @washingtonpost.com just covered a major new report that the @brennancenter.org published today. We interviewed 35 sitting & retired federal judges. What they told us was chilling: judges and their families are facing a barrage of threats to their safety. This must be addressed.

@JonHeyman tweeted There’s an obvious gap between the Dodgers and Brewers and everyone else. 28 teams have significant work to do.

ICYMI: Alex Jones popped like a balloon. Get the real story at www.theonion.info.

Here is the "WARNING NOTICE" federal agents hand-delivered. "YOU MAY BE IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW" It's the second of these notices I am aware of. If you've received one, please get in touch: fire.org/alarm

Ms. Rachel: As the American Academy of Pediatrics says, there is no safe amount of time for a child to be in detention. The Dilley immigration detention center must be shut down. We need to end the cruel policies of family detention and family separation.

many people are saying that if donald trump had a 30 ft tall mechanical spider that shoots nanowire webs he'd be protected from james comey and his shells

Rep. Becca Balint's grandfather died in the Nazis' Mauthausen concentration camp. Pam Bondi just suggested Balint was antisemitic.

Unspeakably grotesque.

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society. How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

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.

What authority does ICE have to arrest or detain citizens who witnessed a homicide?

Friendly reminder that appropriations report language in the leg branch bill lets people sled on the Capitol grounds 🛷🧣☃️❄️

@daveweigel.bsky.social I am curious about what you think would be the threshold to establish that the electorate trusts the Dem “approach” on immigration more than the GOP.

The thing about America today is that if you just describe what is happening objectively and unemotionally you sound hysterical and partisan and what you have to remind people is that the reason for that is not you, it's the people doing the things you are describing

Minneapolis, today. Note how three agents holding the civilian down. Why spray? www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

1/21/2026 - Minneapolis Federal agents abduct two teenagers (15 & 16) from a doctor's appointment At one point, it appears an agent tases one of the children

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

“We’ll Have Our Home” again is a song that’s extremely popular with white nationalists. It’s all over Telegram. I think the first time I heard it was from a video of a secretive group called the Mannerbünd.

The reports of violence, arbitrary arrests, and intimidation tactics by the Iranian regime against its own people are profoundly concerning. Canada strongly condemns the killing of protesters, and urges Iran to allow for freedom of expression and peaceful assembly without fear of reprisal.

Here are two key frames of the video. (Changed language on the first notation.)

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

I cannot wrap my head around this. Contempt. Sanctions. Discipline. All are warranted.

The CFPB has returned billions to Americans scammed by corporations. But now the Trump administration is canceling lawsuits and taking money out of consumers’ pockets. The government should work for the people, not billionaire CEOs — and I’m demanding answers.

They are beating people who maybe once had a broken taillight and sending them to foreign slave prisons while freeing the worst fraudsters and every corrupt pol. The juxtaposition is so stark and appalling.

"Things happen" sometimes, like when you walk into an embassy to apply for your marriage license while your bride-to-be waits outside, but then you get bonesawed to pieces for having exercised freedom of speech as an US-based journalist and have to be carried out in a series of suitcases.

New post: CFPB Funding Sophistry from the Office of Legal Counsel https://creditslips.org/2025/11/10/cfpb-funding-sophistry-from-the-office-of-legal-counsel/

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

We will rebuild

Nayib Bukele purged the El Salvadoran courts, replaced judges with allies, and made the judiciary legally subservient to him. Elon Musk says we need to the same here, ending ~250 years of an independent judiciary. Stop treating his involvement in US politics as innocent and normal.

A Chicago citizen confronts the hypocrisy of a fellow Hispanic man working for ICE, shaming him and making a powerful point by asking how his family ended up in the United States.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

DC/DMV folks: When Jimmy Kimmel fails to air at 11:35 tonight because Sinclair Broadcasting wants to punish him, light up the station’s switchboard and tell them you will be contacting and boycotting their advertisers.

This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

In re: the rush to culpability here, worth remembering that Trump and his allies insist to this day that “they” — the left, their enemies — tried to kill him in Butler, Pa. Which is not what happened.

No Donald, Chicago is not your war zone

RKF Jr. is a dangerous man who is determined to abuse his authority to act on truly terrifying conspiracy theories and disinformation—leaving us unprepared for the next deadly pandemic and snuffing out potential cures while he’s at it. My full statement.

Tonight one of the CDC’s top public health leaders, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, has resigned from his post. Below is his full resignation letter. You should read every word. This is a truly scary moment for public health in America. 1/2

Trump and his billionaire friends aren’t the ones who will suffer when financial bad actors are allowed to run amok. ourfinancialsecurity.org/news/blog-su...

Just last month, DOJ told a federal judge that Abrego Garcia’s immigration proceedings would be handled like any “garden variety” case. No decisions would be made, they said, until he reports to ICE and is assigned a case officer. That officer, they insisted, would call the shots.

D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state. But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed. D.C. statehood now.

“Federal prosecutors in D.C. have been instructed not to seek felony charges against people who are carrying rifles or shotguns in [DC], regardless of the strength of the evidence, according to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro and an email reviewed by [WaPo].” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The Independent has identified Eric Lendrum as the DHS PR officer responsible for a relentless flood of social media posts on DHS pages using Nazis memes, slogans and images. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

The DC Circuit just gave Trump a green light to finish dismantling the CFPB. 🤬 We are reviewing the decision and will release a statement shortly. In the meantime, sign the petition to stop Trump & Vought from killing the CFPB: www.change.org/StopVought media.cadc.uscourts.gov/opinions/doc...
