RULE VOTE FAILS, 217-214.

Three Republicans- Thomas Massie, Kevin Kiley, and Don Bacon - buck the party to allow floor consideration of measures to end Trump's tariffs.

The first such measure, likely on Canada tariffs, could come up as soon as tomorrow
Republicans have been holding this vote open for 40 minutes or so, but the holdouts- Massie, Kiley, Bacon, reportedly left the Capitol. The absent Republican is Greg Murphy (R-NC), who has missed a lot of time since a mid December surgery.

Not clear why Johnson is still holding this vote open

so red tag them. these facilities were not designed for habitation. they don't have adequate insulation, ventilation, sanitation. they don't have the same use.

shut these inhumane warehouses down for the numerous code and public health violations
Crucially, many local governments are furious with ICE over these purchases, because they were not consulted or even told. Because they are federal property now, it's taking a commercial property off the tax rolls while likely imposing dramatic additional infrastructure costs.

Just a reminder that Trump’s former criminal defense attorney turned Dep. AG Todd Blanche transferred Ghislaine Maxwell to a Club Fed where she now plays with puppies and goes to yoga classes.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.
The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago

Trump says he was the one who decided to post the video with racist imagery of the Obamas, not an anonymous aide, but says he didn't watch to the end before sending it to "the people" to post for him. But he has no regrets. "No, I didn’t make a mistake." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

You may recall that in January of 2025, artist Ann Telnaes announced that she had quit The Washington Post after editors killed a cartoon that depicted owner Jeff Bezos, among others, genuflecting to Trump.

This cartoon feels even more relevant this week.

The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

So, quick question for the White House: If the racist post was put up by a White House staffer, how many people are posting using the president's name? Who are they? Who approves their posts? And why should anyone take anything coming from his account as coming from him if he's just staffing it out?

Starbucks Workers United baristas are escalating their fight for a fair contract.

I urge you to keep boycotting Starbucks — and delete its app from your phone.

Workers are fed up with low pay, chaotic scheduling, understaffing, and illegal union busting.

Let's keep fighting corporate greed.
