Senate Democrats BLOCK DHS FUNDING BILL
It needed 60 votes and failed
Vote 52-47

Fetterman only Democrat voting to advance
No deflection from Republican side but even Rand Paul was a yes

Thune changed vote to NO
to allow him to bring it up later

More proof that Bondi’s reprehensible performance was to please an audience of one who expects reprehensible performances.

Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

Dear Americans, please support comrade Trump's SAVE Act. It's exactly what I had installed in Russia to guarantee free and fair elections. Viva democracy!

Sincerely, Vladimir Putin

POS!!!!

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Walz: "In America, you cannot expect that the people are going to be okay with masked, unidentified people running you off the road and coming to your vehicle at gunpoint like we saw in St. Peter, Minnesota."

Ellison: "I've never been prouder to be a Minnesotan. I'm so proud of the people who helped their neighbors, who stood up for their First Amendment rights. I hope it's over and now it's a time to heal and put things back together again."

Rand Paul to ICE officials on Pretti's killing: "Because people within the government made conclusions immediately that he was a terrorist and an assassin, people aren't believing that it's gonna be an honest investigation ... there has to ultimately be repercussions ... it's inexcusable."

Rand Paul: "I see not even a hint here of anything aggressive on [Pretti's] part. I don't think this should take months and months. There needs to be a conclusion ... the public needs to know, if I go to a protest and shout something at people, could I be killed?"

Blumenthal on administrative warrants: "This is not a warrant. It's a permission slip. It's a green light from another ICE agent to go bash down a door, smash into a home, detain and arrest someone without a judge finding probable cause."

BLUMENTHAL: Were you mistaken when you said no US citizen is subject to immigration enforcement?

LYONS: No sir


BLUMENTHAL: Well, who is lying? You or him? The facts contradict what you said

Here is the notice announcing the appointment of Donald Kinsella, posted on the district court’s website just a few hours ago.

Two U.S. Navy Ships Collide in Waters Near South America Two personnel report minor injuries after ship-to-ship refueling By Lara Seligman Follow Updated Feb. 12, 2026 9:36 am ET Gift Article Listen (3 min) The US Naval Ship USS Truxtun (R) and other participating countries' ships take part in the multinational naval exercise 'AMAN-23' in the Arabian Sea near Pakistan's port city of Karachi. Destroyer USS Truxtun during a multinational naval exercise in 2023. asif hassan/Agence France-Presse/Getty Images Two people reported minor injuries Wednesday when a U.S. warship and a Navy supply vessel assigned to the military buildup in the Caribbean collided during a ship-to-ship refueling, according to a military spokesman.

Shit. You mean I'm going to have to start calling Whiskey Pete "Crash Hegseth" instead of calling Sean Duffy Crash?

I heard about a case here where the defendant filed a motion to dismiss and the prosecution failed to respond. So the judge granted the motion, dismissed with prejudice

Among the cases are that of a man described by law enforcement as having ties to a known drug trafficking organization. Investigators in a criminal complaint said they identified him as a suspect after intercepting a package addressed to his apartment that contained 9.1 pounds of cocaine in September 2025. An assistant U.S. Attorney asked to toss the case in a brief motion filed Jan. 23, saying in a one-sentence memo that a dismissal is “in the interests of justice,” pursuant to federal law. The U.S. Attorney’s Office also asked to dismiss the case against another man whom federal agents accused of having a kilogram of meth and more than 200 grams of fentanyl in his Minneapolis apartment. The U.S. Attorney’s Office cited the same reasoning in its request.

Pam Bondi is now freeing accused drug dealers bc her demand that AUSAs do unethical things got all the prosecutors to quit.

It’s the Epstein Administration.

No wonder Bondi spent the entire hearing screeching and deflecting.

AG Keith Ellison: "The surge is contributing to violent crime. Two of the three homicides committed in Minneapolis in 2026 have come at the hands of federal immigration agents."

You know how I repeatedly have pitched MN Department of Correction's corrections website?

Now DOC head Paul Schnell is testifying, describing how ICE refused to coordinate with them creating a crisis.

ELLISON: We're hoping we can gain cooperation perhaps in the Pretti matter, but we've been advised that the feds aren't investigating the Good matter and we haven't received any access to the evidence

PETERS: So in these two cases, you're being stonewalled?

ELLISON: That's a yes

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

RON JOHNSON: Did you ever encourage people to go out there and exercise their First Amendment rights?


KEITH ELLISON: I freely admit being in favor of the First Amendment

Hassan: "What is happening here is unacceptable to the people in my state of New Hampshire and to people from every corner, and in fact people around the globe. I just got back from the country of Greenland. Their children are scared of the United States of America."

here's video of the Keith Ellison smirk that triggered Ron Johnson

US border czar says immigration crackdown in Minnesota will ‘conclude’ Tom Homan says that Trump has backed ‘significant drawdown’ in the state, where two US citizens have died

The Trump administration said it is ending its deployment of immigration agents to Minnesota. They’re framing it as Minnesota agreeing to cooperate, but most of their statements are false. It’s Minnesotans standing firm and refusing to back down. The resistance only grows. Minnesota strong 💪

We know they’ve been spying on everyone, but to put it so out in the open is just 🤯.

Honestly… we’re still in shock 😳 that she would even bring a book like this.

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"
