Rep Jared Goldensaid he supports ICE’s “Operation Catch of the Day” in Maine if it stays focused on people who committed crimes, and we all know they haven’t done that. Lewiston Mayor Carl Sheline disagreed, saying ICE is showing a lack of humanity and concern for basic welfare. ICE says about 50 people have been arrested so far and up to 1,400 immigrants are being targeted statewide.

In a new Washington Post article, Rep. Jasmine Crockett said her bold personality is her strategy to flip Texas. “The only thing we know for sure is that a White man can lose,” she said, arguing it’s time to try something new. “I get that I’m not a traditional candidate. (Her voting record says otherwise) And that’s exactly why I’m going to win,” saying her unfiltered style can energize the base, turn out infrequent voters, and reach young people and Black men who drifted toward Trump.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

Johnson pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for his role in the insurrection but was later pardoned by Trump.

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.
