A new Emerson College Polling and Nexstar Media poll shows Rep. James Talarico leading the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Texas with 47%, ahead of Rep.

John Cornyn 47% to 44%, ties Ken Paxton at 46% each, and trails Wesley Hunt 47% to 44%, with about 9% undecided. Based on these numbers, Talarico appears to be the strongest Democrat with the best chance to flip Texas. #texas #democrats #politics #gop #tepublicans

It’s 2026, and Rep. Jasmine Crockett voted for H.R. 7006, which sends additional military aid to Israel, including offensive and defensive weapons, while defunding UNRWA and blocking funds to the ICC and the UN’s commission of inquiry. The bill advanced pro-Israel priorities and drew praise from AIPAC. All Squad members AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley voted No. The bill is so extreme that even Dan Goldman voted against it. Crockett's polling numbers should surprise nobody. #crockett #talarico #texaspolitics #jasminecrockett #freepalestine

He said he is an activist, not a politician, and was moved after visiting the West Bank. Kasky plans to push human rights legislation for the West Bank, work with Rep. Ro Khanna’s office, and urge his supporters to back a progressive candidate.

Sen. Rand Paul said that many “pro-life” Republicans don’t care about people killed in U.S. boat strikes near Venezuela. He said the Trump administration gave no proof the boats carried fentanyl and argued the victims were likely poor people. Paul said killing shipwreck survivors breaks military law and called the strikes a false excuse to justify action against Venezuela.

In Fort Pierce, Florida, Democrat Chris Zaddy Dzadovsky won a razor thin runoff election for the Fort Pierce City Commission District 2, Seat 2, defeating Republican Jaimebeth Galinis by just 31 votes. Dzadovsky earned 50.6% of the vote, flipping control of the city commission to Democrats. The low turnout race clearly shows how small margins can shift power in local government.

At least three federal prosecutors in Minnesota resigned over concerns about how the Justice Department is handling the investigation into the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis according to NBC news. The resignations come after DOJ leaders said there is no basis for a civil rights probe. State leaders say the exits raise serious questions about political interference and the credibility of the investigation, which is now being handled by the FBI and ICE internally.

Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura criticized ICE actions in Minneapolis and hinted he may run for governor again after visiting Roosevelt High School. “I did one term. I am owed a second,” Ventura said, suggesting recent events pulled him back into politics. With Gov. Tim Walz not seeking reelection, Ventura said someone must “clean up” what both parties have broken. Would you support Ventura for Governor?

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the Pentagon will deploy Elon Musk’s Grok AI alongside Google’s AI across military networks, feeding it vast defense and intelligence data. The move comes days after Grok generated nonconsensual deepfakes and past antisemitic content. Hegseth said Grok will go live in the DOD later this month. What could possibly go wrong? Is this Skynet?

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison filed a federal lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security to block an ICE crackdown known as “Operation Metro Surge.” Ellison says the sudden flood of federal agents into Minnesota is unconstitutional and unlawful.

Sen. Mark Kelly has sued Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the Pentagon, accusing them of unlawfully trying to downgrade his military retirement rank and pay. Kelly says the move is retaliation for his political speech after he urged service members to refuse illegal orders. The lawsuit argues the action violates the First Amendment, the Constitution’s Speech and Debate clause, and threatens the separation of powers by punishing a sitting senator.

A new YouGov poll conducted the same day as the ICE shooting shows most Americans disapprove of ICE. In the survey of 2,686 adults, 52% disapproved of how ICE is handling its job, while 39% approved. Only 27% said ICE’s tactics are “about right.” The poll also shows a sharp partisan divide, with Republicans largely supportive and Democrats overwhelmingly opposed.

Adam Johnson, known as “Podium Guy” for stealing Nancy Pelosi’s lectern during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, is running for a seat on the Manatee County Commission in Florida. Johnson pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for his role in the insurrection but was later pardoned by Trump. His campaign focuses on lowering costs, infrastructure, and what he calls “MAGA in action” at the local level which could mean stealing the neighboring towns resources. Who knows.

A POLITICO analysis warns that President Trump’s sweeping Jan. 6 pardons may have unintentionally covered Brian Cole Jr., the man accused of planting pipe bombs near the DNC and RNC before the Capitol attack. Legal experts say the pardon’s broad wording could apply even if he is convicted, since it covers offenses “related to” Jan. 6, raising concerns he could walk free despite the seriousness of the crime.

Medics told Al Jazeera that a 7 day old baby died from extreme cold in Gaza as winter storms battered families living in makeshift tents. Israel is blocking and limiting tents, mobile homes, and repair materials, leaving many Palestinians without proper shelter as night temperatures drop to about 48 degrees. Aid groups say the suffering is caused by blocked supplies, not the weather.

Trump was briefed on possible U.S. military strikes against Iran over protests, saying “I’ve made the statement very strongly that if they start killing people like they have in the past, we will get involved.” That is surprising to many given that on January 7, an ICE agent shot and killed U.S. citizen Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, sparking protests and national outrage over deadly federal force on American soil.

The Washington National Opera voted Friday to move its performances out of the Kennedy Center, ending a relationship that began in 1971. The New York Times reports the move is a response to President Trump’s takeover of the Center, including naming himself chair and installing allies. The opera plans to operate independently, seek new venues in D.C., and cut performances, though no leases are final yet. Thanks Trump. 🙄
