This is striking: New Senate Majority PAC poll finds that GOP's advantage on immigration has been wiped out by unpopularity of Trump's agenda. Dems now at parity with Republicans.

This is a Dem poll but it dovetails with what other polls are showing (see piece/thread below)

It's a sign that things are changing that Dems are now circulating strategy memos saying they can take this issue on directly.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamillaโ€™s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being โ€œserved food that contained worms.โ€

A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees.

The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasnโ€™t for detainees โ€” it was for the staff.

"When I asked why Valeryโ€™s treatment for self-harm seems to be exclusively a prescription for sleeping pills, ICE did not respond." Valery is a 13-year-old girl in detention.

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.

Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.

This is why we must fix the system. AOC is right.

Jeffries: "Y'all saw the embarrassing display by the so-called attorney general the other day. Who would trust her or the weaponized DOJ to independently investigate wrongdoing by Trump administration officials or by ICE agents? That's a reasonable demand. It's also a hard line in the sand."

This is outrageous. School photo giant Lifetouch is owned by Apollo Global Management co-founded by Leon Black, a major Epstein backer. Now we learn Apolloโ€™s CEO, Marc Rowan, also had Epstein ties.

No wonder districts are canceling picture day.

Partisan political speeches have no place on military bases to active duty troops. These soldiers have no choice - they are ordered to be there. No politician should ever make a speech like this to troops. The continued silence on this issue by Republicans is a disgrace. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The Presidency as Protection Racket โ€˜Nice little state you got there. I sure wouldnโ€™t want anything to happen to it.โ€™

Trump canโ€™t pardon election felon Tina Peters for state crimes, so heโ€™s squeezing Colorado insteadโ€”moving Space Command, canceling $100 mn in grants, and vetoing a clean-water pipeline. This type of presidential coercion threatens federalism and rewards election misconduct, this CATO paper argues.

BREAKING: ICE director Todd LYONS says the two officers involved in the Jan. 14 chase/ shooting incident appear to have lied under oath and are being investigated by DOJ. This comes after DHS Secretary Kristi Noem defended them as firing in self-defense. politico.com/news/
2026/02/1...
Attributable to Todd Lyons:
Today, a joint review by ICE and the Department of Justice (DO) of video evidence has revealed that sworn testimony provided by two separate officers appears to have made untruthful statements.
Both officers have been immediately placed on administrative leave pending the completion of a thorough internal investigation.
Lying under oath is a serious federal offense. The U.S. Attorney's Office is actively investigating these false statements.
Upon conclusion of the investigation, the officers may face termination of employment, as well as potential criminal prosecution.
The men and women of ICE are entrusted with upholding the rule of law and are held to the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and ethical conduct. Violations of this sacred sworn oath will not be tolerated.
ICE remains fully committed to transparency, accountability, and the fair enforcement of our nation's immigration laws.

WOW. Incredible. This is the case in which DHS claimed that ICE officers had been attacked with a shovel and fired back in self-defense. Evidence since suggests an ICE officer fired through a closed door and struck someone on the other side.

Will DHS retract the prior claims?
