Trump fires homeland security secretary Kristi Noem as Democrats welcome her exit – US politics live President picks ‘Maga warrior’ Markwayne Mullin as nominee to replace Noem as Democrats hail decision after months of controversy

Here is the video of Hakeem Jeffries saying "fuck Donald Trump" for posting that racist video of the Obamas. (originally from his official Instagram account) www.instagram.com/reel/DUbeoy5...

Trump reveling in racist trash again, just in time for Black History month. The only positive thing is Trump is an old man who will die soon of natural causes. The bad thing is JD Vance and the rest of the Republican party still have some years left

This year marks 100 years of celebrating Black history.

Now more than ever, it is critical that we teach our history, preserve our history, and continue to make history.

Black history is American history.

Happy Black History Month.

Allison Papson & @AllisonPapson X.com MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Federal immigration officers tried to enter Ecuadorian consulate in Minneapolis but were stopped, foreign minister says. 7:39 PM • 1/27/26 • 102 Views

Amateur hour in Minneapolis continues, even with Bovino out of the picture.

This is indicative of a broader issue with Trump’s mass deportation push; officers aren’t doing even basic investigations (to figure out things like “is this address a consulate”) as pressure to keep up arrests is so high.

No one was in danger, yet ICE shot multiple times for no reason. I have no confidence that justice will happen soon, but all ICE agents will face justice one day

🚨“You’re gonna have to kill me!" Minneapolis protester SCREAMS as swarm of Border Patrol agents pin him to the ground.

Straight up murder by ICE in Minneapolis today. Expecting Kristi Noehm to lie about this in 3, 2, 1 ....

No drugs for oil protest poster from 1990. Shows a combination of a soldier holding a rifle combined with a gas station pump, standing on top of a globe with American flag in background

Trumps attack against Maduro in Venezuela will not end well. Bottom line is this is about oil, not drugs

Kilmar Abrego Garcia freed from federal immigration detention, his attorney's office says Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from an immigration detention center in Pennsylvania following an order from a federal judge issued Thursday, according to his attorney’s office.

Good news, perhaps our courts still have some ability to function. How long Kilmar stays free is another question .... apnews.com/article/abre...

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

This is the way to do it America. When we resist together, ICE will lose

This is why ICE needs to cease to exist . I don't expect this wanna be thug to ever receive justice unless we all fight back
