AOC: This most recent election for the House, in many ways was stolen by the Republican majority. They have a 3 seat majority in the House. Those three seats were gerrymandered out of North Carolina last cycle. That is why I am so glad we fought back in California and Virginia to even the field

Border Patrol boss Gregory Bovino tossed from Vegas bar: report Days after being removed from his duties in Minneapolis, U.S. Border Patrol officer Gregory Bovino was reportedly booted from a Las Vegas bar.

Las Vegas Bar refuses Bovino service "in accordance with venue policy to maintain a safe & orderly environment for all patrons."

Logically, all ICE agents must be refused service by all such venues as 1) threats to staff, and 2) threats to safe & orderly environments.

Shun them all, everywhere.

Fulton County, Georgia, to sue Trump administration over seizure of 2020 election records Fulton County Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr. said that the county is filing a motion Monday challenging the legality of the search and the seizure of sensitive election records.

Excellent!!

Lawyers for Fulton County, Georgia, are planning to file a lawsuit in federal court Monday against the FBI and the Justice Department over a search warrant that the FBI executed at an election hub last week seeking records...

'The folks are fearful.' Haitians living in Ohio may soon lose temporary protected status โ€ข Ohio Capital Journal Thousands of Haitians living in Ohio will lose their temporary protected status next week unless a federal court blocks it.

Haitians in Springfield, Ohio lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. There will very likely be a major ICE incursion the next day. Haitians in Springfield were the targets of Vanceโ€™s lying during the campaign.

Layoffs are piling up, heightening worker anxiety. Here are some of the biggest recent job cuts As layoffs pile up, workers are feeling increasingly anxious about the job market. Economists have said businesses are in a "no-hire, no-fire" standstill as hiring stalls overall.

They call it โ€œrestructuring.โ€ We call it rent, insulin, daycare, student loans, oil or gas to heat our homes, groceries. A badge deactivated. A paycheck gone. A family panicking quietly at night. The economy is โ€œfine.โ€ Our lives are not.

Sen. Jacky Rosen is calling for the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

"Kristi Noem and her department's latest attempt to mislead the American public regarding the brutal and unjustified killing of Alex Pretti is deeply shameful, and she must be impeached and removed from office immediately."

It can feel like 1942 Germany. The fear.
The uniforms.
The paperwork.

But thereโ€™s one critical difference: they didnโ€™t have global cameras in their pockets. We do. History shows the danger. Technology gives us the power to expose it in real time. Use it.

โ€œIt's some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms,โ€ Trump said. He boasted that he had accomplished so much that โ€œwhen you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election.โ€
