If this government is so against vaccines, how did it get its immunity to telling the truth?
This case involves another Minnesota shooting. The agent fired “to defend his life” from a weapons assault that we now know never happened.
What's the problem? As the President said when people first complained about the economic costs of tariffs, just buy fewer pencils and dolls.

From a 5-year-old in detention. Near the bottom, it says, "Let us go."

Judge asks why the govt isn't complying with court orders to release the wrongfully detained.
Govt lawyer goes off that she's overworked "pulling teeth" to get her "client" to comply.
"The system sucks. This job sucks."
Wow!

In the spirit of bipartisanship, Democrats should do everything they can to help Republicans execute their subpoenas

Bloomberg (1/29/2026): "The regional premium for aluminum delivered to the US market climbed above $1 a pound for the first time as US President Donald Trump’s tariffs make the metal more expensive in the domestic market."
Thankfully we don't need aluminum for anything.

US citizen testifies about an arrest when driving to a medical appt for a brain injury. After smashing her car window and assaulting her, DHS taunted and refused her medical care. She awoke to assault treatment at a hospital.
GOP reps skipped this event.

Fox News(!): "The survey shows if the election were today, 52% of voters would back the Democratic candidate in their House district and 46% the Republican.
[52%] is the highest recorded for either party; the previous high was 50% for the Democrats in October 2017."
If these domestic terrorist kids didn’t want to get gassed, they would stop attacking ICE and impeding their good work... gassing children.

Was Watergate an attempt to *strengthen* “ballot security” to avoid a repeat stolen election, as imagined by a paranoid president and his circle?
Maybe, though Chotiner wasn’t involved. Still, what a passage!
From All the President’s Men (2014 ed), p. 28.
Meanwhile, back in the United States of America, the President raids taxpayers for another cool $10 billion

I missed this! Ingraham and Roy have negative words for DHS!
They still support mass deportation, but the shift from full-throated support among these diehards is remarkable.
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
The idea that Minnesotan non-cooperation is to blame for chaos is:
- hypocrisy: feds are obstructing local probes of DHS crimes
- not what locals voted for & MN isn’t obliged to help
- victim-blaming, as if an operation called ‘Metro Surge’ isn’t the cause (*image via Tangle)
The party of personal responsibility, folks.
Noem: “Everything I’ve done [was] at the direction of the president and Stephen [Miller].”
And: <“Bovino should be blamed[,] not Stephen,” a White House source said, adding that Bovino supplied the details about the shooting[.]>
Ted Cruz (yes, that Ted Cruz) thinks that when a mom of 3 is killed and “she’s not waving an ISIS flag or doesn’t have a suicide vest around her,” calling her a terrorist “doesn’t help, and it actually loses credibility.”
Seems sensible enough.
"I cannot support the national Republicans’ stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."
(NB: Madel helped Ross a bit. Ross has yet to be prosecuted, of course.)
One current Homeland Security agent said he had “always given the benefit of the doubt to the government in these situations” but he no longer believed “any of the statements they put out anymore.”

“Don’t Resist, Just Obey” is a haunting song dedicated to all American patriots under occupation “who resist – and refuse to obey.”
Thanks, @theunpopulist.net

Have you ever seen law enforcement so opposed to other law enforcement before?
Minnesota police, national guard, and now the prison system are resisting federal immigration enforcement's abuses.
If I were a law & order type, I wouldn’t know what to do with myself.
Rasmussen is a pollster both well respected on the right and consistently touted by Trump
