DHS Files Request to Terminate Asylum Cases of Family of Liam Conejo Ramos There’s “no reason that this should be expedited,” the family’s lawyer said, adding that the action felt “retaliatory.”…

Hasn't the Trump administration put this family through enough?

Measles Infection Count in January Topped Total Cases in 2023 and 2024 Combined If infections continue at their current pace, the US could see triple the number of measles cases seen last year.

The CDC has identified nearly 600 cases of measles in the U.S. in January alone — a number that would have seemed unimaginable just a few years ago, as the virus has been considered eradicated in the U.S. for more than two decades.

Trump Admin Plans to Place Statue of Christopher Columbus on White House Lawn A White House spokesperson said Trump views the colonizer and genocidaire as a “hero.”…

The Trump administration is planning to place a statue of Christopher Columbus — the colonizer whose legacy includes the enslavement and slaughter of millions of Indigenous people — on the White House lawn. The statue in question was fished out of the Baltimore Harbour where it was tossed in 2020.

Trump Says He’ll Only Accept 2026 Midterms If He Deems Them “Honest” Trump’s comments on Wednesday come just days after he called on Republicans to "nationalize" state-managed elections.

Asked whether he’d respect the results of the midterms, Trump said he would only do so “if the elections are honest.” The president’s judgment on what constitutes an “honest” election is highly suspect, as he has repeatedly peddled falsehoods and debunked conspiracy theories about recent elections.

Um...

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

Pentagon Tells Scouting America to End Inclusive Policies or Lose Military Partnerships Back to God and country — immediately!" a spokesperson for the Pentagon said.

Pete Hegseth wants to tell Scouting America how it should be run -- which could mean no LGBTQ members, no girls, no non-Christians, etc. Because, "masculinity," or something stupid like that...

DOJ Argues East Wing Ballroom Is Needed for “National Security” Reasons “Halting construction would imperil the President,” a DOJ court brief states.

Poll: Majority of Americans Oppose Immigration Agents Being Sent to Their States A majority of Americans also recognized that the Trump administration was dishonest about the killing of Alex Pretti.

Most of America wants ICE OUT!

“We don’t need a warrant.” That’s what Congress is voting to fund today. Armed agents. No due process. Fear on public transit. Meanwhile ERs close and patients wait.
This is state violence. Fund care, not intimidation. #FundHealthcareOverICE

Trump Tells Republicans to “Nationalize” State-Run Elections The US Constitution leaves the “manner of holding elections” largely up to the states.

Trump's calls for nationalizing elections, alongside his DOJ raids of election centers, are ominous signs of his "strategy" for "winning" the 2026 midterms.

Delusional, or just hoping his backers are that gullible?

DHS Seeks to Convert Giant Warehouses Across US Into Immigration Jails A total of 23 converted warehouses could imprison up to 80,000 people, estimates suggest.

Trump is expanding detention plans, which will likely ignore humanitarian concerns that have already been brought up in existing facilities.

"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

Within 24 hours of his administration arresting two journalists, Trump verbally attacks a reporter in the Oval Office.

His attacks on journos have been well-documented, but his treatment of reporters who are women has been especially vicious.

Federal Authorities Arrest Don Lemon Over Filming of Church Protest Lemon’s lawyer called his arrest an “attack” on press freedom and a distraction from “crises” the administration faces.

Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, independent journalists covering Trump's immigration raids in Minnesota, were both arrested for their coverage of a demonstration in a church.

Trump is back to calling Alex Pretti names, including "agitator" and "insurrectionist." Remember: what happened in a separate incident weeks before he was killed doesn't change the fact that *he was killed* by the feds for no reason other than his desire to exercise his First Amendment rights.

I will be publishing a story on Lemon/Fort later today for Truthout -- we are an independent news organization with no paywall (there is a popup that kindly asks for donations, if you can give). truthout.org

It's unknown at this time how they got the arrest. Magistrate judge and chief judge both rejected previous attempts. Another independent journalist, Georgia Fort, was arrested this a.m. for filming the church protest, too. She said a grand jury indicted her.

Has TPUSA announced a lineup?
