Pro tip for any Hill journos, the Speaker can approve 24hr protection for Members who are under heightened threat. Omar used to have this, but Mike Johnson took it away. You should ask him about that

Woman who recorded Alex Pretti fatal shooting by ICE agents speaks out | CNN CNN’s Anderson Cooper speaks to a witness who captured with her phone the critical moments of Alex Pretti’s fatal shooting by ICE agents in Minneapolis.

The FBI has yet to reach out to the woman who recorded the Border Patrol's murder of Alex Pretti because they are engaged in a covering up and committing crime not solving it. www.cnn.com/2026/01/27/u...

So basically Albert Speer’s defense at Nuremberg.

US to send ICE agents to Winter Olympics, prompting Italian anger The US federal agency says it will not play an immigration role at February's event in Milan-Cortina.

Ban us from the Olympics. For real. Fucking ban us. Put your foot down.

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." Meet 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨 𝐆𝐨𝐧𝐳𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐳, an ICE Deportation Officer from Miami, FL (originally from Puerto Rico). Gonzalez has lived in Miami and Hollywood, FL. He decided it would be fun to travel to Miami to kidnap and threaten people. #OneOfOursAllOfYours #UnmaskICE

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

I've said many times over the past year that the task before the left of center is to build new, functioning institutions in place of the old and failed ones. I think Minneapolis is the perfect example: state and local govts no help, courts a mixed bag, but the people built their own networks

second sitting black congressperson to be assaulted in the past week. all the violence seems to be coming from one side, and it ain’t ours

Look, it's been hard for me to figure out how to talk about the difference between healthy masculinity and bullshit, weak, fear-based control fantasies, but BOY HAS THIS WEEK MADE EVERYTHING MORE CLEAR.

They look weak in general but they never look weaker to me than when they are upset about the whistles

It’s so so funny

it is the same playbook everywhere. “vote for us! we will make you great again by punishing the people you hate! do not pay attention to the fact that we’re also shoveling your money into the pockets of the uber wealthy and building a giant boot to step on your face too (preferably forever)”

ICE Denies Detainee's Request to Attend His Son's Funeral, Attorney Says Maher Tarabishi was the primary caretaker of his son, Wael Tarabishi, 30, who died on Friday, Jan. 23, from complications related to Pompe disease.

Maher Tarabishi, who has been detained by ICE since October, was the primary caretaker of his disabled adult child, Wael.

On Jan. 23, Wael died from complications related to Pompe disease, a rare genetic condition.

ICE has now denied Maher’s request to attend his funeral, his attorney says.

There's no way you can keep funding a federal government who's primary mission is to inflict pain on the population. Every federal agency from McMahon at DoE to RFK shredding HHS and everything in between. Every day we let them stay open is more time we'll need to repair the damage they've done

Kristi, baby, they’re going to put you down like a dog! You’re already on the way to the gravel quarry, Kristi! You’ve gotta bite someone on the way out! You’ve gotta make them pay!

House Democrat Says Abolishing ICE Isn’t Enough — DHS Must Go, Too “The problem isn’t ‘training.’ DHS was built to violate our rights,” said Rep. Delia C. Ramirez.

Amid growing calls for the abolition of ICE, Rep. Delia Ramirez is calling for the entire DHS to be dismantled. Highlighting how much experience the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had, Ramirez said, “DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.”

They've given the literal dumbest guys in America a military arsenal, a blank check, and immunity to do whatever they want. How fucking stupid do you have to be to break into a consulate?

This much is clear: Stephen Miller is in charge. They've shipped off Bovino, they're hanging Noem out to dry, Trump is using slightly conciliatory language...and Miller is still running a blitzkrieg in Minnesota. He, not Trump, is in charge. And he is the one Democrats should fight to remove.

Bezos spent $40 million on this, of which $28 million was a direct gift to the Trunp family, plus another $35 million marketing blitz for a propaganda clunker absolutely nobody could have believed would recoup even a small fraction of that cost. It is a flat bribe, right out in public.

The journalists who proclaimed six hours ago that Trump has changed his tone will never admit they said that

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity.

They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability.

My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

This is Literally the Job Political journalists need to stop pretending they don't know what Republicans are going to do.

"They told us what they were going to do. They published it. They put it on a website. And when it happened, the press was surprised."

Hoo boy, everyone should bookmark this @parkermolloy.com piece & make sure everyone involved in media reads it.

the entire administration is a pit of vipers but we should hand whoever is trying to shank Stephen Miller more knives

the absolute worst of the cruelty always comes back to him, get him out of there

So for Dems, the win is: reiterating 3 things that are already law, 1 thing that is a best practice, and 1 thing that was already a rule up until 6 months ago?

From the bottom of my heart: fuck off with this.

And they didn't even include ICE out of hospitals, healthcare facilities and daycares.

🚨President Biden's top Middle East adviser @brett_mcgurk tells me: “That statement by Netanyahu is categorically false. Biden left office with a ceasefire in Gaza and hostages coming home, a ceasefire in Lebanon with Hezbollah defeated, Iran in its weakest position since 1979 after two failed missile attacks thanks to the deployment of U.S. military forces and a coordinated response that destroyed Iran's air defenses. His commitment to Israel's security to include US military assistance was unwavering throughout the crisis."

Does it inspire any introspection on the part of the Democratic foreign policy establishment that backing Israel to the hilt no matter what it did at any time undermined America's global position and image while also not getting any credit from Israel itself

-4 with whites and -9 with men would...explain why there were firings

Referring to the US as a "homeland" was always creepy as fuck, always nazi-adjacent, and creating a Dept. of Homeland Security was an obvious lurch toward authoritarianism that should have been strenuously resisted from the beginning.

(Oh weird the hippies were right again.)

If ICE thinks they're hated in America, wait until they find out what the rest of the world thinks of them.
