β€œThe stock market is up, so I don’t have to investigate pedophiles and sex traffickers” is an insane defense by Pam Bondi.

She’s just as bad as every monster in the files.

Millions of Americans Don’t Have Documents Proving Their Citizenship Readily Available Requiring Americans to prove their citizenship to register to vote would exclude millions of citizens from the political process.

More than 21 millions Americans do not have documentation proving their citizenships, and would be disenfranchised by the SAVE Act the GOP just passed through the House. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

LIEU: These two photos staring you in the face are evidence of a crime and more than enough evidence to predicate an investigation into former Prince Andrew. So why did you shut down this investigation?

RASKIN: President Trump may have been a little bit embarrassed by the release of his tax return. If Trump can get $10 billion, how much do you think the claims of these Epstein survivors are worth?

Three rules in FBI firearm training:

1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot

Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

I might believe these Epstein allegations about Trump if he was accused in the past by 27 different women of sexual assault, found liable for it, bragged on tape/video about grabbing women, going backstage while girls were changing at pageants, and how hot his daughter was.

This is how you know Don Lemon’s arrest has nothing to do with the law and everything to do with intimidation, harassment and performative politics

-They couldn’t get a judge to sign the warrant

-They raided his home in the middle of the night instead of calling his lawyer to arrange a surrender

The Trump administration accused Don Lemon of participating in a protest which interrupted a church service-though Lemon was covering the event as a reporter

Yet ICE routinely camps out at churches so they can arrest worshipers upon their exit-and this has interrupted services-with Trump's blessing

Don Lemon arrested by Trump feds for covering anti-ICE protests in Minnesota.

Trump has regularly said things like COVID and ICE brutality would just go away if people stopped reporting them.

That’s not going to happen.

Defang ICE β†’ Save the Midterms The fight over ICE isn’t just about civil rights. It’s about free and fair elections, too.

I argue here that Trump already has key national security agencies--DOJ, FBI, CIA--involved in the plot to subvert free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028. Teed up behind them are DOD and, importantly, DHS. One reason today's fight against ICE is so crucial.

🚨CAUGHT ON TAPE: a clip going viral shows Greg Bovino’s orders to ICE agents in Minnesota, saying β€œthis is OUR fucking city” - and pushing mass arrests. He promises β€œtrailers of that shit,” meaning tear gas.

Trump PAC Sends MAGA Donors Email Threatening To Track Them Down β€” HuffPost β€œAre you a proud American Citizen or does ICE need to come and track you down?” the email said.

Trump’s PAC is threatening to send ICE to MAGA donors who don’t answer his emails.
With his base already shrinking, he is going after what little supporters he has left.
Sometimes this stuff does write itself.

β€œThey were obviously not trained… I've known many police officers….They had the professional demeanor of criminals." This is unreal.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

STATEMENT REGARDING DETENTION OF STANDING ROCK SIOUX TRIBE MEMBER IN MINNESOTA

JANUARY 24, 2026

I was notified today, January 24, 2026, that a Standing Rock Sioux Tribe member has been detained by the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the state of Minnesota. Tribal leadership is actively working to locate the individual, gather accurate information, and coordinate with the appropriate authorities to secure their release.

At this time, details surrounding the detention remain limited. I urge the public to refrain from spreading unverified information while this matter is being reviewed.

Standing Rock Sioux Tribe will continue to advocate for the protection of our citizen's rights and will provide updates as appropriate.

Too obvious a point even to make, perhaps. But there was no β€œunrest” in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up. ICE and CBP are the cause of the chaos…and the killings.

Get them out of there.

Filming federal agents in public is not a crime, nobody should be harassed or restrained for doing so, nobody should have their phone confiscated for it, and nobody should get the death penalty for it. This is supposed to be a free Republic, not an authoritarian police state.
