Reminder: DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

SEVEN. That’s how many strikes hit near the Iranian girls’ school. Video shows a tomahawk missile hitting a building next to the school. The kind of “precision” you get when an incompetent administration runs a war on outdated intelligence. Don’t look away —we should all see the deadly destruction

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, on elections: In the past, we’ve mostly seen foreign interference — my bigger fear now is domestic interference, some of that potentially originating inside the administration.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000. So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000. Lemme do a expla-youtube-nation www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYL5...

Susan Collins has apparently decided to give Republicans the votes needed to pass the SAVE Act. This is a three-alarm emergency. We must act swiftly. Tell every Senator right now we absolutely cannot let this pass:

McIVER: Do you consider yourself a religious man? LYONS: Yes mam McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands? LYONS: I'm not going to entertain that question McIVER: Do you think you're going to hell, Mr Lyons?

Bad Bunny understood the assignment…

A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan. It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash. “ICE GTFO OF MN” Minneapolis February 4, 2026

House Republicans just enabled ICE to continue their lawlessness for another 10 days. But at that point, they’ll need Dem votes to continue. We must not agree to another dollar for ICE until we add my amendment blocking the federal government from seizing voter rolls, ballots, or voting machines.

EVERCORE: “DOGE failed.”

Kudos to Mayor Mamdani. This is what economic justice looks like. And it's a reminder of how we can fight corporate greed at the state and local level. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/01/mamdani-ice-delivery-workers-settlement-backpay-uber-gig-workers-million/

Newly released U.S. Justice Department filings in the Jeffrey Epstein case describe the financier as a “wealth manager” for Vladimir Putin. The claim comes from an FBI report dated Nov. 27, 2017. Putin is mentioned 1,055 times in the documents; “Russia” 5,876. ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/02/01/v...

Important. There has not been a deescalation.

Per Paul Krugman: It has been clear for a long time that the people running the federal government — Trump, Miller, Noem, Bovino and more — are monsters. It has been equally obvious that ICE and the Border Patrol are now filled with sadistic thugs. At this point, however, there are no more excuses.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

😢😢😢

The proof's in the pudding, folks. The Trump Administration's supposed efforts to “reduce waste, fraud, and abuse" by firing dedicated federal workers ended up spending MORE of your tax dollars and making government LESS efficient. No joke. www.wpr.org/news/trump-d...

Super important story by @crampell.bsky.social at @thebulwark.com about the Trump administration's misuse of personal information:

Today’s front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune. 👀

A former Trump official is planning a multi-billion-dollar data center project in Greenland. The project would be several times bigger than any active data center on Earth. It also has yet to secure land or approvals from the local authorities. www.cnbc.com/2026/01/23/g...

Yep

This new whistleblower report is on par with the Zelensky call - not just because it’s violative of law - but because they also tried to keep people from seeing it. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is absolutely explosive news. Impeachable and criminal. Swift accountability must follow.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Don’t go further down this road.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

KRUGMAN: “.. How did a great, sophisticated nation, one of the world’s longest-standing republics, end up so fragile that it can be undone by one man’s dementia?” @pkrugman.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

THE WOMAN WHO WAS DRAGGED OUT OF HER CAR AND ARRESTED BY ICE SPEAKS OUT… We’ve all seen the videos, but it matters to hear Aliya Rahman say it herself. 📌 She says her treatment in custody was dehumanizing, and that officers completely failed to take her disability seriously.

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

NBC, your football live stream sucks! Also, go Bears.

“I think more than 350 of those cameras have gone out and are already deployed in the community now,” he said... www.404media.co/how-one-guy-...

This map exposes the Greenland lie. The US used to have a massive military footprint here. Today, they operate just ONE base. If Trump were actually worried about Russian vessels, he would simply open more bases, which Denmark allows

A group of Senators met with the Foreign Minsters of Denmark and Greenland and it was so maddening. People in our country are losing their health care, facing price hikes on everything - and Trump is prepping an invasion of Greenland. Here's what I learned in the meeting.
