Multiple sources: Zhang Shengmin, Secretary of CMC commission for Discipline Inspection, might be dead.

Sources say he died by suicide at home. If true, Xi Jinping will be the only remaining member of the CMC.

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

idk who needs to hear this but free transit is just really bad policy and a waste of resources. Invest in transit so it is actually safe, frequent, and reliable, and never stop expanding transit so it is always becoming more useful for more people. that is how you get people to take transit.

Homan says agents have been “in theater a long time”. They see this as combat, as war.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?

HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

Just, you know, going out on a limb, but if states constitutionally don’t have to act as instruments of federal law enforcement, seems like a campaign of terror against the civilian population to coerce them to do so ought also to be unconstitutional.
Homan: "The withdrawal of law enforcement resources here is dependent upon cooperation ... as we see that cooperation happen, then the redeployment will happen"

The fact that Vance and Miller - the most powerful members of the administration - are publicly socially intermeshed with open and unapologetic Nazis is the Chekhov’s gun of Trump’s second term, even if the press have refuse to acknowledge.

Now it’s shooting us in the face.

makes me sad that front range rail only has one station area planned in Colorado Springs because it is madness to assume anyone in northern Colorado Springs would backtrack all the way to downtown to catch a train to Denver

as democrats, if we want to get immigration numbers back up to a reasonable level, we're going to have to do more than just go back to "the way things were." we're going to have to provide a real, reliable, fast pathway to CITIZENSHIP.
The central failure of US immigration policy over my entire adult life is that it has always put xenophobia over facts. This is the result. And if we were talking about facts, this one would be setting off all our alarms. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u...

Pro tip for any Hill journos, the Speaker can approve 24hr protection for Members who are under heightened threat. Omar used to have this, but Mike Johnson took it away. You should ask him about that

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

I really wish this country would invest in modern high speed intercity trains & local public transit so bad it makes me sad realizing that cities like Denver could be world class with an extra $5 billion to add some tunnels around downtown + upgrade legacy lines + build out front range rail

Remember when the big complaint about American media was that they would do anything for a buck, that it was all too profit driven.

Honestly I miss those days. Now I feel like Ellison, Bezos, et al would set a billion dollars on fire to win their culture wars

I recognize that the bill uniting the democrats is something that could reasonably pass a Republican controlled legislature and behind closed doors should be what they are rallying around, but it shouldn’t be the starting point of public negotiations. Senate dems just suck at actual politics.
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.

Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.

It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

This is one of the biggest stories in America, comparable in scale to what’s happening in Minnesota. The largest social media platform is transferred to Trump’s allies and immediately forbids you from saying anything bad about him. Absolutely totalitarian in nature. No different than China.
