To say aloud that the vice president is friends with Nazis and to point out that his Holocaust tweet is crafted so as not to offend them is to sound crazy to everyone who doesn’t know both are stone cold facts. Frustrating thing.

That’s funny because I think she should go to jail.

We are looking at a close up of a small wooden carved mouse on an oak chair. It is climbing up the scroll of the top of a chair and has a long straight tail and finely carved whiskers.

Good morning from everyone at the Hall including Robert 'Mouseman' Thompson's mouse.

She's doing very well she says and thanks you for asking.

Get ready for a Democratic Party influencer blitz to convince you that replacing Greg Bovino with Tom Homan is a huge win you should be grateful for.

Meanwhile here’s Tom Homan:

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

ICE in minneapolis are causing international incidents because agents don’t understand what a consulate is and tried entering ecuador’s

This is your regular reminder that the data broker industry must be destroyed.

Gotta call our good senator too, folks.

I'm bringing back the red phone reminder . . .

FWIW:

I *DO* think that reinforcing the requirement of judicial warrants is worth doing.

I *DO* think requiring federal agents to identify themselves is worth going for - but no fucking QR codes. Make them register in a public database and wear GIANT NUMBERS on their backs.

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal.

Exclusive: Hegseth boosts Minneapolis immigration siege, approving use of military base In an email obtained by the Chronicle, U.S. Customs and Border Protection asked for use of Fort Snelling to house federal immigration agents, weapons, vehicles and aircraft.

Bovino's gone but it's not over: they're ramping up. They're going to use Fort Snelling for "parking approximately 300-500 vehicles . . . a ready room space for 500-800 CBP personnel . . . access to a magazine to store munitions."

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.

Reminder that Bill Barr's father Donald was the headmaster of the Dalton School when Jeffrey Epstein was hired as a physics as math teacher there, despite having no teaching credentials

I’ve just realised that the darkest ten weeks of the winter are behind us & just now we’re gaining 2 minutes of daylight each day here in the UK. A hopeful thought 🌿

……….they don’t give punters a playbook :(

Our VA Secretary wants all of his employees who serve our nation’s veterans to understand that if masked federal agents execute you on the streets in cold blood, he will not give a damn about you and will use your death as an opportunity to spread propaganda for the President.

The playbook

My white neighbors and I scrambled to respond to 2 ICE vehicles this morning. Some nonwhite neighbors monitored the situation to see if they dared to leave the house for work. Other nonwhite neighbors haven’t left the house in a month
