BRENNAN: Tell me about the officer, Jonathan Ross

KRISTI NOEM: Don't say his name! I mean, for heaven's sake, we shouldn't have people continue to dox law enforcement

BRENNAN: His name is public

NOEM: I know, but that doesn't mean it should continue to be said

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act, a 200+ year-old law that he has not read and does not understand. Nonetheless, he clearly believes it gives him the right to wage war on any American citizens and cancel their Constitutional right to protest his Nazi-inspired policies.

✅ Justice Anita Earls fights for fairness and families.

❌ Sarah Stevens protects crooked politicians and rigs the system.

Check the receipts. The difference couldn’t be greater.

This would be ominous no matter what the circumstances, but it’s not like she was working on national security or classified military information. She’s been reporting about federal workforce issues.

According to Forbes' latest assessment of President Trump's wealth, since the start of his presidency, Trump's net worth has more than doubled—from $2.3 billion in 2024 to $6.7 billion by the end of 2025.

“Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING – TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
So, protesting is a protected right if you're Iranian, but not American. Gotcha.

Would be useful for stories like this to point out, among her political ties, that her husband is the *GOP Senator from Pennsylvania.* (Beat Bob Casey by 0.2% in 2024.)

Not even mentioned in CNBC dispatch.

A great chart from @washingtonpost.com on how work has changed over the years. Computers and the internet have consistently eroded at secretary jobs, while blue collar roles in construction have continued to grow.

JUST IN: Judge Mehta rules that Trump/Russ Vought's termination of environmental grants during the shutdown — targeted solely at states that voted for Kamala Harris — violated the 5th Amendment's Equal Protection clause and orders them restored.

Never forget the truth of what happened that day. A sitting President attempted to prevent the constitutional process of ratifying an election by instigating an angry, armed mob.

"Where were you?"
"The veteran said he saw volunteering as an ICE observer as another way of serving his country.

They say they’re monitoring ICE arrests. Feds say they’re breaking the law.
The fatal shooting of Renée Good last week, as ICE officers and residents faced off on a Minneapolis street here, has brought new attention to ICE monitoring.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

They feel emboldened. They have been told they did nothing wrong. Government sanctioned propaganda with deadly results.
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Thirty or so people stood together on Thursday evening to honor the life of Nicole Renee Good, and to mourn her senseless death.

All Democrats voted for the resolution , as did Republicans Rand Paul, Todd Young, Lisa Murkowski, Josh Hawley and Susan Collins.”

But not our dynamic, spineless duo, Ted Budd and Thom Tillis.
Trump is now lashing out at five Republican senators who joined Democrats to advance a bipartisan resolution that would block him from using military force “within or against Venezuela” without prior approval from Congress.

We all watched it. We know what we saw.
For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

They are lying about what happened to her and they are using her death to promote their own sick narrative.
What a sick, demented bastard. A mother is dead, and this dickhead is making her part of his 2028 campaign platform 24 hours later.
