EPA reverses long-standing climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions The agency announced it is repealing its 2009 conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and well-being.

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.

Let’s be honest about what this is.

When I paused issuing ICE unmarked license plates and pushed back on Trump trying to nationalize elections, far-right politicians got angry. Now they want me out of the way.

I won’t be intimidated from upholding my duty to the Constitution.

DHS heads towards shutdown after funding bill fails in Senate Democrats block a funding bill in the Senate, after disagreement over putting new restrictions on immigration agents

Keep the pressure on! Update on DHS funding: A procedural vote on Thursday fell short of the number required, leaving it stalled ahead of a midnight Saturday deadline.... The Senate is on a week-long recess but could be called back if a deal is reached.

“Children in a concentration camp dare to protest.”

This is a real statement, describing a real event, in Trump’s America.

Let’s take a few minutes to sit with that and really think about what we can do to free these children and make sure such a statement is never uttered again.

Stephen Miller is no outlier. White supremacy rules the Republican party | Cas Mudde Republican voters made Trump the white-supremacist-in-chief. That’s why a resignation from Miller wouldn’t change much

Alex Pretti was a VA ICU nurse. Colleagues remember him as kind, warm, and caring.

He was a beloved son, brother, friend, and neighbor.
 
ICE agents murdered him in cold blood. In broad daylight.

And then they had the gall—the sheer, evil audacity—to call *him* a domestic terrorist. (1/3)

AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

Hours after federal immigration officers shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, Pam Bondi seized upon the incident to demand access to Minnesota’s voter rolls, directly tying the Trump administration’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids across the state.

Fri 1/23/26, in Maine, an agent confirms why they take photos of faces and license plates of observers:

"'Cause we have a nice little database. Now you're considered a domestic terrorist."

ICE surge creates new headache for Maine’s Susan Collins Susan Collins, the most vulnerable Republican in the Senate, would not say whether she supported the Trump administration’s ICE operation in Maine.

WaPo brutal headline/lede (paywalled): "The surge of federal [ICE] agents into Maine has put the Senate's most vulnerable Republican, Susan Collins, on the defensive -- and in avoidance mode -- as she fends off attacks from two Dem challengers who say she needs to stand up to" Trump. #MEpolitics

Susan Collins loves to say she’s in one of the most powerful positions in the Senate until it’s time to use that power. She should be standing up to this administration, but she refuses.

Angus King, who capitulated to Trump in previous shutdown fights, has said he'll vote against this. Susan Collins has signaled she's a 'yes'. #MEpolitics

Democratic candidates across Maine stand united against ICE’s lawlessness — and for justice. #mepolitics

#MEpolitics: I called and left VERY direct messages for King, Collins, and Golden demanding that they cease all cooperation with the regime and immediately force an emergency legislative session to abolish ICE, repeal the Insurrection Act, and pass articles of impeachment for Trump and his cabinet.

It was so empowering to see so many of our neighbors show up in Lewiston to tell ICE that they are not welcome here. We need now more than ever to stand up for our Somali friends and neighbors; they make us stronger.

ICE needs to be out of Maine and out of our country.
