1. On January 23, Crypto.com donated $5 million to MAGA Inc, Trump's primary Super PAC. (The donation was first disclosed in a FEC filing Friday night.)

Less than 1 month later, on February 17, the Trump administration intervened on Crypto.com's behalf in a high-stakes federal lawsuit.

ICE agents shatter window, leave 1-month-old baby, mother in car after Portland arrest Video shows federal immigration agents leaving behind an infant and broken glass after detaining a Guinean immigrant with no known criminal history.

β€œThere was a car seat in the back... There were broken glass shards all over it... There was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying.”

Seems like one of those issues that should greatly concern everyone regardless of their politics.

Screenshot of an X post by Omar Jimenez (@OmarJim…, 7h) stating that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says he doesn’t have the names of the agents who shot Alex Pretti, adding: β€œI’ve been a lawyer for 36 years. I’ve never seen anything like this before.” Below is a CNN video thumbnail showing a split screen: on the left, an older man in a black cap and glasses labeled β€œBrown | Business Owner,” and on the right, Keith Ellison in a suit. A CNN β€œLIVE” bug appears in the corner.

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.

MAGA’s β€˜Omelet’ Excuse for DHS Thuggishness They admit that mass deportation is impossible without egregious abusesβ€”but want it to go ahead anyway.

β€œIt has become clear that Donald Trump’s mass-deportation regime cannot be sustained without a repressive state machinery that endangers the lives and tramples the rights of legal residents and citizens of the United States, just as critics had been warning.”

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.

Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.

I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.

I need to share with you what I saw.

I grew up hearing stories from my father about how folks abducted by Franco’s secret police would routinely β€œescape” to the roof of police HQ and β€œcommit suicide.” The obviousness of the lie was itself an intimidation tactic.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Trump's stealing of Venezuelan oil and putting the proceeds in Qatar at his personal disposal is NOT LEGAL. Problem is, he doesn't care, and his co-conspirators in Congress don't either.

Why did he put the money into a Qatari bank account instead of the US Treasury?

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: β€œThe message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.

In 2025 the US averaged 49k new jobs a month compared to 168k in 2024.

To be clear these numbers were posted by the BLS today after Trump recently fired their statistics chief, claiming without evidence that the β€œjobs numbers were RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad”.
