I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.
The US Department of Agriculture suspends all federal funding to Minnesota, effective immediately.

The decision has been made to break an American city. It is an experiment. We must do all we can (legally) to help Minneapolis hold on.
if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed.

everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

“America is dangerously close to a world in which all federal policy hinges on the outcomes of presidential elections, no matter how narrow the margin of victory,” Zachary S. Price argues:
Trump’s Power Grab Over the Budget Is Breaking the Constitutional Design
If this pattern holds, the result will be more wild swings in policy across administrations.

It’s pretty wild that the most rabidly anti-immigrant administration in recent memory is comprised of a President married to an immigrant, a VP married to the daughter of immigrants, an assistant AG in charge of Civil Rights who’s an immigrant (Dhillon), & it was all funded by an immigrant (Musk).

White men are 30% of the population.

They are also:

- 98% of presidents

- 90% of billionaires
- 80% of Congress

Forever oppressed.

Photos from Epstein’s estate confirm that Trump was far more involved in child predator Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit.
 
The DOJ must release the full Epstein files, not the White House-approved version.
 
End the cover-up. The American people deserve the truth.
🚨 BREAKING: Oversight Dems received 95,000 new photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. These disturbing images raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world.

Time to end this White House cover-up. Release the files!

he’s right though!! the house won’t pass it, they won’t even reconvene!!
Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

Thank goodness again for body camera footage!
“A U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement agent arrested in August on suspicion of driving drunk questioned the nationality of a sheriff’s deputy and threatened to check the deputy’s immigration status, according to newly released body-camera footage.”
ICE agent in Keys pulled over in DUI asks arresting deputy: ‘Are you Haitian?’
The ICE agent’s blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit, arrest report shows.

A 14-word replacement for most op-eds, substacks, etc about this moment.

The GOP could stop ALL of this, right now—if a handful of Sens or Reps could step outside the cult.

It would take four in the Senate, four (maybe five) in the House, to change history.

Until then, they're all to blame.

I don’t always agree with Chair Powell – but he is right.

Prices are up 2.9% from last month. And they’re higher than they were a year ago.

Why?

Donald Trump’s chaotic tariff policies.

Does Trump not understand the First Amendment?!?
A reporter just asked the U.S. president a perfectly legitimate question about his attorney general's vow to prosecute people for constitutionally protected speech.

He responded by threatening to prosecute the reporter.

The threat itself is an abuse of power. It ought to be an impeachable offense.
JON KARL: What do you make of Pam Bondi saying she's gonna go after hate speech? A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech

TRUMP: We'll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. You have a lot of hate in your hate. Maybe they'll have to go after you.

Today the media will be focused on the administration attacks on Democratic institutions and lies that they are now telling to use the Kirk shooting for evil.
