The biggest story in politics from yesterday: Democrats defended their narrow majorities in Pennsylvania and Maine.
Three special elections, three GOP losses.

This is an administration that denies that eliminating USAID killed a single person despite lot of evidence that it has resulted in mass death.

The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to spend taxpayer funds, and no law allows the president to halt if he feels some US states arenβt being βgood stewardsβ of the money.
In case thereβs any confusion on this, the Impoundment Control Act forbids it.
Taxation without representation.
Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social

Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Greg Bovino.
They must all resign and be held accountable.
This outrageous act β seizing ballots β follows Bondiβs demand that to stop public executions in Minneapolis, Minnesota needed to turn over its voter roll.
Theyβre determined to steal the midterms since they know they canβt win under an actual democracy.

An extraordinary document. Read it.
βAttached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. β¦ ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.β
If for some reason we can't immediately abolish ICE (why though???) how about we disarm them?
No guns. No tear gas. Nothing.

Trumpβs illegal domestic deployments cost taxpayers $496 millionβand counting.
Including $21 million in Illinois.
Thereβs no money for health care.
But half a billion to waste on intimidating Americans in their own communities.
A 5-year-old Minnesota child detained with his father at a Texas immigration facility appeared lethargic during a visit Jan. 28 by members of Congress, who demanded the familyβs immediate release and an end to the use of family detention.

ICE doesnβt de-escalate, it escalates, then runs.

This child looks devastated. We know from the courageous actions of his fellow detainees (his βfellow detainees!β Heβs five!!!) in Dilley that there are others like him.
I honestly donβt care if maximalist demands are bad strategic politics. We should make them because theyβre important moral ones
I'm starting to think the Trumpist mastery of propaganda is failing them. The DHS agents posing this way makes it look like they're ashamed of themselves.
