I don't care that Kash Patel somehow wormed his way into the US Men's hockey team's locker room celebration.

I care that this ridiculous person is the director of the FBI and had lied to Congress about Trump, Epstein, and all global elites he has been corruptly paid to run interference for.

Masked paramilitaries marching in front of a hanging Trump banner on the DoJ

This picture is so crazy that if you had this as a scene in a made-for-TV dystopian scifi movie in like 2014 people would switch channels because you’d ruined the suspension of disbelief.

“Hanging that banner should put to rest any doubt that Donald Trump has hijacked the independence of the Justice Department. He — not the American people — is the only client DOJ’s current leadership serves.”

This is the agency that is charged by law with preventing sexual assault in the workplace

Why has he not been arrested?

Just gonna point out again (and again and again) that Grok and X and other apps that create this kind of sexual imagery are still available on the Apple App Store by Apple, the safest place on Earth (citation: Apple marketing materials).

He would always yell “is that a yak?” and try to get us to look, even if there wasn’t one.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Amazing

This week at Democracy Docket: Trump wants to ‘take over’ voting, while GOPers unveil a massive new suppression measure Steve Bannon and Mike Johnson welcomed Trump's comments about taking control of elections. And a new Republican anti-voting bill could disenfranchise millions.

President Donald Trump kicked off the week with one of his clearest statements yet that, with polls looking bad for the GOP, he wants to take control of this year’s elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

May this merely be a step closer to prison.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

This could end any day. Republicans in Congress are choosing not to do so.

This. This should be the reaction when a lawless government agency murders an American citizen in cold blood.

Mike Lynch is Schumer's Chief of Staff (mike_lynch@schumer.senate.gov), Tasia Jackson is Jeffries' CoS (tasia.jackson@mail.house.gov). Write to them. Their bosses need to step up. @filipecampante.bsky.social's post below gives you the reason why.

Bellingcat is gold standard. Read entire thread

"A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man BEFORE THE FIRST shot was fired."

"At least 10 shots being heard in total. Most of them are fired after a brief delay, when the man is already lying motionless on the ground."

Mayor Frey: "To everyone listening, stand with Minneapolis, stand up for America. Recognize that your children will ask you what side you were on. Your grandchildren will ask you what you did to act to prevent this from happening again."

I am doing my best to respond to this without a string of expletives. But let's be very clear. What just happened in Minnesota was cold blooded murder of a civilian by out of control federal agents, aided and abetted by the entire Trump administration and their fascist enablers.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Newly unsealed evidence makes it even clearer that Rubio and Noem knew they were targeting students based solely on their political speech and that they knew this policy was unconstitutional. They just didn’t care. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Just shared this one Facebook, because I had to get the words out. Sharing here in case its in any way useful to you.

I appreciate the sentiment here, but it is only honest to say that the United States will never be the same again. The U.S. that led the world in scientific research in so many disciplines is done. It may be possible someday for some to be rebuilt, but why would any other country trust us again?

Democratic politicians facing frivolous criminal investigations from Trump:

Kat Abughazaleh
Elissa Slotkin
Jason Crow
Tim Walz
Jacob Frey
Letitia James
Lisa Cook
Mark Kelly
Eric Swalwell
Adam Schiff

Trump accepting Machado's Nobel Peace Prize is a great insult to the FIFA Peace Prize committee
