Kristi Noem Must Be Impeached Members of Congress have a constitutional duty to remove this gangster from office.

BREAKING: FBI notifies Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension that it won’t provide access to evidence it’s collected on the killing of Alex Pretti by armed and masked federal agents.

Perhaps this would be a good time to note that 187 members of Congress are signed on to Impeach Kristi Noem:

Propaganda, Rather than Pandemic Policies, Caused the War on Public Health The backlash narrative ignores basic facts of the case.

More from @liberalcurrents.com, from November by @zeblarson.bsky.social. It deserves to be widely read. It's the most sober-minded version of how liberal backlash to COVID mitigation measures set the table for the take-over of public health by the far-right. www.liberalcurrents.com/propaganda-r...

The billionaires' eugenics project: how Epstein infiltrated Harvard, muzzled the humanities and preached master-race science Edge - Jeffrey Epstein's favourite intellectual salon - was sold to me as a gathering of the world's finest minds, writes Virginia Heffernan.

NEW: Read this terrific piece @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social for @thenerve.news in which she unpicks Edge.org, the hugely influential 'salon' funded by Epstein & threaded through with race science & eugenics.

Pretending the rise of the far right and the focus on issues such as immigration or trans people comes from the "legitimate concerns" of "the people" is not just factually wrong, it's a deeply political point

Refusing to see this as primarily top down processes is to protect the status quo

Gabbard Whistleblower Complaint Based on Intercepted Conversation About Jared Kushner The substance of the conversation, which covered in part issues related to Iran, isn’t known.

One of the people involved in that whistleblower complaint against DNI is Jared Kushner.

"The allegations in the conversation about Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, would be significant if verified, according to U.S. officials familiar with its contents."

This email is getting a lot of play as if it carries some official weight. It's from an journalist/anti-human-trafficking activist/eccentric named Conchita Sarnoff. She liked to email the feds tips about her investigations.

MILANβ€”In a gleefully kitschy Opening Ceremony that featured ancient Romans, dancing espresso pots and a number by Mariah Carey, Italy threw open its arms to welcome the entire world to the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.

Well, nearly the entire world.

HOLD UP. This headline from the @wsj.com is dead wrong - No one at the actual opening ceremonies thinks the US team was being booed. Come on! The CBC broadcasters & people in the stadium are all crystal clear that JD VANCE WAS BEING BOOED, not the team.

I don’t know maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old-fashioned, but doesn’t it seem like a bad idea for the president, a bunch of his cabinet members, the guy he let decimate our federal workforce and his future Fed Chair, to be implicated in the criminal files of a notorious child sex trafficker?

Something has shifted. We went to our usual Visibility protest today, displaying anti-ICE signs on a freeway overpass, and drivers were honking like crazy. Maybe 4x the typical number. And instead of 6-12 people on the bridge, there were almost 40. ✊

Statement | January 27, 2026 Democracy Defenders Fund issues the following statement in response to recent actions by the Department of Homeland Security and its immigration enforcement agencies.

Illegal arrest of my friend @donlemonofficial.bsky.social is gross violation of the Constitution & laws

Magistrate rejected a criminal complaint & Judge Schiltz (conservative former Scalia clerk) said "no evidence of any criminal behavior"

The real power center of the Republican Party isn't in their party anymore: it's the right-wing media ecosystem, which is primarily based in Silicon Valley. If you want to destabilize fascism, reigning in runaway tech corporations matters more than elections.

Yes. And many Americans do not even seem to realise this. With every day the Epstein files are not released, the government breaks the law, and having a lawless government becomes just the new normal.

Leading election denier claimed DHS β€˜wants to partner with us’ on voter roll checks. Now he’s a top official there Comments from Phillips at the time suggest True the Vote, which has repeatedly pushed for access to federal data, also was working with DHS officials.

BREAKING: As Trump transformed an immigration database into a tool to scrutinize voter rolls, newly unearthed comments show a prominent election denial activist was already claiming inside access to the effort β€” and touting a potential partnership with the Department of Homeland Security.

The only reason Homan replaced Bovino as the face of the occupation is because his lies are more polished and he doesn’t dress like a member of the Third Reich in public. But the policies and the state instigated violence remain unchanged.

There's no Trump "pivot" until we see real investigations into the government's killings and real accountability for them. As Rep Jamie Raskin notes here, someone in the White House is ordering DOJ to cover up these killings. Someone in DHS is directing this. Who? 4/
