In terms of January 2026 elections, this special for the Texas State Senate on 1/31 is the main event.
A win for Dem TAYLOR REHMET in this Ft. Worth-based district would send shockwaves through the state.

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
The intense fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti has forced President Trump to publicly change course in Minneapolis.
Listen to our White House reporters discuss the changes on today's episode of "The Daily."

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

It looked like they might have been wavering for a hot minute there, but the Trump admin is, unsurprisingly, double down on their worst instincts and worst ppl. All theyre gonna do is keep making ppl angry at them and keep losing.
Breaking MS NOW:
Trump's Justice Department has decided there will be no civil rights investigation of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, and instead two units of DHS will investigate their own officers and the man they killed.

Its a testament to how thoroughly Republicans have given up on the very idea that they are legislators and have a responsibility as such. If they dont want to do their jobs, they should lose them.
It is obscene that any member of Congress is suggesting that we can EO our way out of murder. Pass laws to reform ICE or get out of your damn job to make way for people who understand Congress' role. But don't ask for Trump to fix the mess your cowardice created. . (2/2)

Once again...when adults are back in charge...the Roberts Court needs to be changed or held accountable.
The testing ground for Bovino’s Operation At Large was Los Angeles. A California judge initially prohibited ICE/CBP’s most flagrant constitutional violations. SCOTUS overruled her 6–3, handing Bovino a blank check to inflict unspeakable brutality on Chicago and Minneapolis. The 6 bear so much blame.
