Latimer getting primaried? lmao I hope the bastard manages to lose
Remember when they said Mamdani couldn’t win because he was so anti-Israel?

Well now the exact same people are insisting Mamdani’s win had nothing to do with Israel to try to discourage other candidates from running against Zionism. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

These guys really just ain't built for this. Where is Thaddeus Stevens. Where is Ulysses S. Grant. Where is Frederick Douglass. Where is William Jennings Bryan. Where is Shirley Chisholm. Where is Robert La Follette. Where is John Lewis.
Q: Is there anything stopping state law enforcement from conducted an independent investigation even if the feds don't want it?

JACOBSON: Without assistance from the FBI, we would be at a loss to be able to initiate & conduct a thorough investigation. It would be very difficult if not impossible

Senator Scutari's grossly irresponsible e-bike bill has advanced again, despite being a knee-jerk reaction to 2 women being murdered by a man using a car as a weapon. It would criminalize e-bike riders and discourage safe and sustainable transport, and it must be stopped.

state parties need to start giving senators the Sinema treatment over stuff like this. censure, withdraw support, constantly issue condemnations
7 Democrats just voted today to confirm a Trump judicial nominee who refused to say what happened on January 6 or answer who won the 2020 election:

Durbin
Hassan
Kaine
King
Klobuchar
Shaheen
Welch

A pro-union bill that has pitted Gov. Jared Polis against every Democratic lawmaker and Colorado’s major labor groups is set to return to the Capitol this year, as the focus begins to turn toward two men hoping to next occupy the governor’s office.

The paragraph just before this one goes particularly hard: “Vance knows. He doesn't care. Vance’s twisted and wrongheaded view of Christianity has been repudiated by two popes. His Catholicism seems to be little more than a political prop, a tool only for his career ambitions and desire for power.”

It’s always struck me as odd how the objectives of the regime and the opposition are exactly the inverse of what they should be.

The regime should *want* peaceful acquiescence to their rule, just as the Democrats should want an escalation into a situation the latter can’t control.

What People Magazine is doing is very important because it’s not the view from “the right” or “the left.” It’s the view from reality for anyone with a functioning brain

They’re calling balls and strikes with “here is what happened” and “here is what was said.” It’s calm, straight-forward journalism
Clear-eyed, fact-based, and written to explain to normies. No “both sidesing.” No “Trump officials disagree.”
No gaslighting that what we can see with our own eyes might not be true.

This is journalism. Well done, @people.com

there needs to be a sex offender registry but for ice guys. you should have to go door to door when you move to a new area and inform your neighbors that you used to be an ice guy. they shouldn't be allowed with 500 feet of a school

it occurs to me that one reason ICE chose Delaney Hall is because Delaney Hall is separated from the populated parts of Newark by a highway and like a mile of industrial zoning, so it's a much harder protest target

Terrorizing your own population because you failed to prevent 9/11 25 years ago is not a valid function for a cabinet-level department.

Menendez has many drawbacks but one thing that family has always actually been stellar on is immigrants' rights so if Rob sticks around I can't be too upset honestly.
.@PabloReports: What do you make of Republican efforts to increase ICE funding?

Menendez: There should be no more money for ICE. There needs to be accountability for ICE. We need to do that before another fucking dollar is spent on them.

you should not vote for Laura Fine if you live in IL-09 but I actually liked a bill she proposed today to bar ICE alums from working for any Illinois law enforcement agency
i don't even really care what the circumstances were at this point. get them out. fire all of them and strip their pensions. add "worked for ice/cbp" as a flag on the background check databases

the way you can tell when it's not a cynical vote-scoring maneuver when they cross the aisle is that they often offer an explanation. the explanation is often hideously bad, like Cory Booker's for his vote to confirm Charles Kushner, but they do often explain it when they actually mean the vote
They aren't sitting down and carefully deciding hmm, this deputy undersecretary or district court nominee seems reasonable and qualified. They just take the basket of throwaway votes they think don't matter and nobody will care about, and then cross the aisle randomly on some of them.

This is the done thing in the Senate and they all get read into how it works when they first show up and none of them bother to question it for the next three decades they're there.

There's no rhyme or reason to which Dems do this on any given nominee, and they never explain, because it really is as stupid as they do it to game metrics so they can't be tagged "most liberal." It's not because Republicans care, they don't need them. It's not a tactical maneuver. It's just dumb.
Amy Klobuchar voted for one of Trump's nominees the day after a woman in her state was murdered by ICE.
Alexander Van Hook is confirmed 53-40 to be a District Judge of Western Louisiana. According to @senatepress.bsky.social, the Dems yeas are Dick Durbin (IL), Maggie Hassan (NH), Tim Kaine (VA), Amy Klobuchar (MN), Jeanne Shaheen (NH), and Peter Welch (VT). Angus King (I-ME) was also a yea.

indict Bovino for assault based on this video
Tense scene earlier this afternoon as protesters follow Border Control Commander Greg Bovino and his caravan around in Minneapolis. At one point, Commander Bovino tussled with a protester, both slipping in the snow.
