Every American needs to watch this:

DHS has requested expedited deportation proceedings against family of Liam Conejo Ramos The federal government has filed a motion seeking to end asylum claims for the family of Liam Conejo Ramos, according to the lawyer representing the family.

BREAKING: The federal government has filed a motion seeking to end asylum claims for the family of Liam Conejo Ramos, according to the lawyer representing the family.

When a whistleblower’s lawyer gives you a deadline and cites the statute, that is not posturing. That is the last stop before Congress. And they just pulled the trigger.

Thank you, Dennis 💔

We'd like to get this building for the bookstore. It's a former rowhouse in Baltimore City that's been converted for mixed use. The first floor and basement levels are zoned for retail, and the second level is an apartment.

We're arranging a tour of this space we like for the bookstore next week. To get it, we'd need a lot of sales by February 11, plus get a loan from our card processor, so we're running a sale on the website. Get 25% off your order with promo code Molly at checkout.

Sound advice, YG.
It’s also perfect to help ward off a 10-degree day.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me."

"Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely."

"I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room"
-- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

This is the CDC map for homicide rates by state for the most recent year on their website.

Gov. Landry, who leads one of the states in the nation with the highest murder rate, is on television chiding Minnesota, one of the states with the lowest murder rates.

The NRA is a gun rights organization the way the Ku Klux Klan is a speech rights organization.

Minneapolis Live Updates: Man Killed by Federal Agents Was Holding a Phone, Not a Gun

Please note that NYT is leading with what the videos show, not the lies from the feds. This is what every news organization should be doing. This is how you cover a government that lies as it breathes. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/us/minneapolis-shooting-ice

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

This is one that stands out:

A photo of the man murdered by ICE today, just before the shooting. He’s standing and holding a phone in his right hand and holding his empty left hand to the sky and looking behind him at a woman running away while an ICE agent closes in on him from the front. On the ground behind the man is a woman that the victim will soon try to help, leading several ICE agents to attack him and pin him to the ground, before shooting him several times.

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

China has the largest installed wind capacity in the world.

Last year a whistleblower said DOGE had illegally accessed a Social Security database. SSA now acknowledges it's true—& that DOGE employees had secret agreement w/ unidentified political advocacy group to use SocSec data to help overturn election results. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Next year the Nobel Committee should award the Peace Prize to "the people of Greenland", with no other explanation forthcoming.

I've used the Marion Paroo system (Miser Madison variation) for years. I have a big Balzac collection.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

'Staring over the edge': South Carolina measles outbreak doubles in a week More than 500 people are in a 21-day quarantine and about 200 are "actively infected." The largest outbreak currently in the U.S. has spread to at least three other states.

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

This is where we are...

Trump accepting Machado's Nobel Peace Prize is a great insult to the FIFA Peace Prize committee

Gov. Greg Abbott Was Ordered to Release Some of His Emails With Elon Musk. Most Are Blacked Out. Months after fighting to keep secret emails between Gov.

After fighting to keep emails between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office and billionaire Elon Musk’s companies secret, officials released nearly 1,400 pages of documents to @kutnews.bsky.social and The Texas Newsroom late last year.

All but about 200 pages were blacked out.

Some protesters have reported being hit with rubber bullets close to the scene of a reported shooting in north Minneapolis involving federal agents in the area of W. 25th Street and Lyndale Avenue N.

This is not a real human. Not a leader. Not protecting us. Not a cop.
He is a tiny man, living out a fever dream, surrounded by thugs & wrapped in the security of gas canisters, flash-bangs & tasers.
I hope one day we find him in a hidey hole. And we get to lean down and ask, “Where are you from?”

The first numbers are in.

Over 1 million fewer people have signed up for insurance on the ACA than at this time last year. This is Trump's premium hikes at work.

In the wealthiest nation on earth, millions are being forced to go without health care.

It's a moral tragedy.

Here’s a comment for the people who are upset that MN hasn’t charged Jonathan Ross already:

If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder.

It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO.

Your generosity is overwhelming, Your Grace.
We are not worthy of this offer. Can I get a discount?
