Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Just 4 days until early voting starts in Texas (Feb 17). Do you have a plan to vote? 👊🏽

The SAVE Act and the Myth of a Voter Fraud Crisis Congress proposes sweeping documentation barriers to combat a form of fraud Americans are more likely to experience as a lightning strike than at a polling place.

“A political movement that insists on solving a problem the data cannot substantiate is not engaged in neutral reform. It is redefining the electorate through procedural filtration…[&] structural barriers…the issue is not fraud prevention but power allocation.”

I've slept a bit on this other than a few posts, but one of the most brazen things happening in state governments right now is that the Kentucky GOP is trying to impeach a liberal justice (and the first/only Black woman to join the court) because of a vote she took last year they don't like.

We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

Brand new polling from Data for Progress, shared first with Strength In Numbers, shows voters back Dems in the DHS shutdown over ICE — and overwhelmingly favor key reforms such as preventing mask-wearing (+23) and requiring judicial warrants for arrests (+34): www.gelliottmorris.com/p/democrats-...

The 19th: House passes elections overhaul bill that could make it harder for married women to vote

Are you one of nearly 70 million American women who changed their names when they got married? 🙋‍♀️

Republicans in Congress want to make it harder for you to vote.

Tell your senator to oppose the SAVE Act. indivisible.org/actions/stop...

Hey there Pam Bondi if you have nothing to hide why were you tracking what congressmen were searching on the Epstein files?

Why uh…. Why…. Why so nervous?

In the blanket incident, Noem had to switch planes after a maintenance issue was discovered, but her blanket wasn't moved to the second plane, according to the people familiar with the incident. The Coast Guard pilot was initially fired and told to take a commercial flight home when they reached their destination. They eventually reinstated the pilot because no one else was available to fly them home.

The details of the Kristi Noem blanket incident are just fucking perfect

NEW: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told Congress today that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked word of a raid, allowing gang members to clear out of apartments.

Those apartments were being cleared out weeks earlier.

Tonight, ICE deleted social media posts with the claim.

The potential foreign agent was Saudi foreign agent Jared Kushner.

I mean, I was betting on Roger Stone but this is actually far more problematic.

I don’t trust it and I just ordered a faraday bag for my phone. Because I don’t trust them.

I know this sounds simplistic, but it is a very good thing that the Trump administration is now squarely on the defensive - about ICE, but also about most things - and it’s great that Dems are sustaining the pressure. Credit where it’s due.

Adam, please tell me you’re not falling for this. They’re leaving because they want their funding. And as soon as they get it, they will commence to be just as horrible as they always have been.

Well, there’s a visual I never wanted!

Never in my life did I think that Republicans from my home state of Kentucky would be making so much sense on this issue. I do not know how to act these days.

And that wouldn’t even matter, Katie! Take it one step further. They want their funding. Period and once they get that they will be right back at it. If we don’t see that, then we are just Charlie Brown to Lucy‘s football all over again.

Ds successfully block vote on continued funding for DHS, which looks as if it will have to shut down or radically curtail its operations starting in a couple days.

Harry, don’t you just think they’re withdrawing so that DHS can get their funding? And then once DHS gets their funding, they will go right back to it?

What a pathetic excuse for a woman smh.

Raskin: "I want the whole country to look at this. This is the attorney general of the US whose job is law enforcement. We've never had a witness who has misunderstood our rules and been unable to conform his or her conduct to our rules before. Excuse me."

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

In Louisville, it was 67 yesterday and suddenly after almost 3 weeks I can see my street and my yard! I’ll take that win.

A 14-year-old girl described being zip-tied during Idaho raid, sparking fresh questions about ICE tactics A 14-year-old girl said she was "crying" and "struggling to breathe" when law enforcement officers herded her onto a racetrack with other detainees and zip-tied her hands.

“While the FBI field office in Boise initially said in a statement that claims of children being zip-tied were ‘completely false,’ officials there later amended that assertion, telling reporters that no ‘young’ children were zip-tied.”
