An extraordinary document. Read it.

“Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

Shooting involving Border Patrol officer reported in southern Arizona One person was in critical condition after a shooting in Pima County involving a Border Patrol officer.

Alert: A shooting involving U.S. Border Patrol was reported this morning in southern Arizona. One person was shot near milepost 15 on W. Arivaca Rd around 7:30 a.m., per Pima County Sheriff’s Dept. Identity not released.

This should be a bigger story:

White collar criminals are running free so that Donald Trump can pursue his cruel immigration agenda.

Trump is reassigning federal law enforcement officers who go after rich criminals to ICE.

I’m calling for an investigation.

How to help the resistance to ICE in Minnesota — and beyond What Minnesota’s immigrant communities need from you now.

In Minneapolis and many other communities across the country, we're seeing people come together to peacefully protest and support their neighbors. If you're looking to get involved, here are some ways to help:

US congresswoman Ilhan Omar defiant after substance thrown at her The Minnesota Democrat was uninjured and continued to speak at her event, after being sprayed with an unidentified liquid.

Good morning. Woke up angry after watching the awful video of Rep. Ilhan Omar being sprayed at a MN town hall—but also clear-eyed on why she inspires. She refused to be intimidated, centered her community, and didn’t let a weak, racist bully steal the show. 💚✊ #MinnesotaStrong 🙏@ilhanmn.bsky.social

Last week on the trail, I found one of my favorite quiet miracles.

These are Pipevine flowers — easy to miss, blooming before the leaves arrive, long before most things wake up.

They’re part of a remarkable relationship that eventually gives rise to the Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly.

Important. There has not been a deescalation.

Today, Rep. Castro and I visited precious Liam and his father, Adrian, at the Dilley Detention Center.

My heart absolutely breaks for Liam, his family, and every person being wrongfully detained.

RFK Jr.'s deadly anti-vax crusade doesn’t stop at U.S. borders. Now the U.S. says "no thimerosal, no funding" -- putting $300M at risk for Gavi, which helps the world’s poorest countries access life-saving vaccines. Thimerosal keeps multi-dose vials safe from microbial contamination. 💉

Republicans' Big Ugly Bill gave Trump $190 billion for DHS, including $75 billion for ICE and $65 billion for CBP.

That's money Republicans stripped from rural hospitals and helping people afford health care.

Congress should claw it back and put serious restraints on DHS.

🪲 About 100 species of insects have been identified from recovered #TarPits fossils. Most of these, particularly bugs and beetles, were aquatic, as a thin layer of water over the asphalt would attract such insects. They would then get stuck in the asphalt while feeding or laying eggs.

The Trump administration is moving forward with plans that could dramatically shrink the FEMA, according to court filings. In documents submitted late Tuesday, groups warned that the Department of Homeland Security (which oversees FEMA) may cut more than 10,000 agency jobs which is 50% of staff.

Don't let the Trump administration lie to you.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse. He was a son. A brother. A friend. A caretaker.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

FBI agents execute search warrant at elections office near Atlanta The search comes as the FBI under the leadership of Director Kash Patel has moved quickly to pursue the political grievances of Donald Trump.

It truly never ends the behavior of a sore loser in real time. FBI agents executed a search warrant at an election center in Fulton County, Georgia, marking a major escalation in the administration’s campaign against a jurisdiction Trump has obsessively targeted since losing the state in 2020.

Our military budget is not a slush fund for the President to carry out his extreme agenda.

Hey, as a librarian I have to tell you

You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

"None Of These Books Are Obscene": Judge Strikes Down Much of Florida's Book Ban Bill In a major win for intellectual freedom, a judge rules against Florida law that led to removing hundreds of books from school libraries.

How about that? A victory for people who actually read.
