It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

WATCH — @whitehouse.senate.gov : “What became of the $50,000 in cash in that Cava bag? Did the FBI get it back from Homan?”

AG PAM BONDI: *LASHES OUT aggressively, avoids answering entirely* 🤷🏼‍♀️

Republicans Caught Using Fake Image to Lie for Trump About Portland The Oregon Republican Party used images of riots in South America.

President Trump called Portland a war zone last week, and now state Republicans are trying to deliver one—by sharing a photo of “South American riot police” in 2008 from Getty Images. trib.al/jbtYwZg

This is a really willfully obtuse take.

Republicans could end this right now. They have ALL the power. They are CHOOSING the shutdown.

This is 100% a GOP Shutdown. This is not on Democrats at all.

".. In 2026, the trade slowdown will arrive 'as the global economy cools and as the full impact of higher tariffs is finally felt for a full year,' the WTO said."

I'm taking that as a yes, and she doesn't want to incriminate herself.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Pritzker Tells Trump He Can Take His Autocracy and Shove It, ICE-Free Zones In Chicago, Former DOJ Officials Fight Back, and Ghislaine Maxwell Appeal Denied Refusing to bow to Trump’s ICE machine

Pritzker said he refuses to “let Donald Trump … continue on this march toward autocracy.” He added: “Illinois is going to use every lever at our disposal to resist this power grab and get Noem’s thugs the hell out of Chicago … I’m not afraid. And I won’t back down.” Good.

After threatening that furloughed federal workers might not receive backpay after all, Mike Johnson tries to clarify that *of course* he thinks they *should* get backpay.

REPORTER: Congresswoman Greene specifically said that Republicans do not have a plan to deal with healthcare

MIKE JOHNSON: Congresswoman Greene does not serve on the committees of jurisdiction that deal with those specialized issues. She's probably not read in. Not everyone knows everything.

The complete and total bullshit about this is that it should have been the FIRST question asked of Johnson. It is a disgrace that he was not asked about this before he ended his press conference. Unbelievable that he continues to get away with this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Sen. DURBIN: What’s taken place since January 20th would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, Attorney General Bondi.

Judge Poised to Free Abrego Garcia if Officials Can’t Supply Deportation Plans A federal judge said on Monday that she was inclined to release Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man now

The judge expressed exasperation at government lawyers’ failure to answer “basic questions” or produce evidence during what she called a “topsy-turvy, inside-out day.”

Mike Johnson ignores a question about when he'll swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva and walks away

Texas Is Asking Voters to Protect the Rich and Punish the Poor. Will They Do It? Among 17 potential constitutional amendments, voters will be deciding the fate of corporate welfare and inherited wealth.

“Here’s the ballot in plain English: If you’re wealthy, the state promises to protect your fortune forever. If you’re poor and unlucky enough to be accused of a crime, the state promises to protect the public from you (whether or not you’ve been convicted).”

Johnson: "It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis - I don't know the details, I just saw a headline - but there are some legal analysts saying that might not be appropriate or necessary"

Good morning, Bluesky💙
