- Reposted by shenaniganwatcherI hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend. They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.
- Reposted by shenaniganwatcher"That's just not true, as you well know" -- Sen. Chris Coons is a bit taken aback after CNBC's Joe Kernen pushes the great replacement theory during an interview
- Reposted by shenaniganwatcherNo joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

- Reposted by shenaniganwatcherWATCH: @RepJamesComer 🤡 hilariously says “this is a serious investigation” as he refuses to let the Clintons testify in public about Epstein — and won’t even bring in others like Trump, who is mentioned more times in the files than Harry Potter in all 7 books 😕🤷🏼
- Reposted by shenaniganwatcherSpiking the Kamala Harris endorsement can be rationalized as something that was done on the opinion side of the newspaper so less dire, but management spiking a news story means the outlet is official dead.
- Scoop w/ @nataliekorach.bsky.social: Washington Post leadership spiked a story that had been prepared by the newspaper's media desk, covering the historic layoffs at the Jeff Bezos-owned newspaper. Details in @status.news: link.status.news/4ai6W4C
- Reposted by shenaniganwatcherWhoa. Cooked through. They clearly don't intend on covering the news. This isn't some opinion piece, this is from the media desk

- Reposted by shenaniganwatcherBad idea. ICE is pre-funded by the BBB. Also, CBP is just as bad if not worse and also pre-funded by the BBB. Severing ICE gives away any leverage we have to shut down the rest of DHS. We should be demanding to defund ICE/CBP of its BBB money and shut down ALL of DHS if they don’t agree.

- Reposted by shenaniganwatcherAOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.
- Reposted by shenaniganwatcherI hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.

- Reposted by shenaniganwatcherYour suspicion was right. Trump shut down the Kennedy Center out of pure embarrassment after the cancellations. He’s betting we forget in two years. In 2023 the Kennedy Center was in the black, pulling in $286M in revenue. And it reopened from a $250M renovation in 2019.
- Reposted by shenaniganwatcherNEW: Florida voters have sued Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) over his unilateral effort to launch mid-decade redistricting in the state, arguing that the governor lacks the authority to issue orders to the state legislature. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
- Reposted by shenaniganwatcherJUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS. Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
- Reposted by shenaniganwatcherThis is an authoritarian power grab, full stop. Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government. This should alarm everyone: www.ms.now/news/trump-s...
- Reposted by shenaniganwatcherSomeone explain to me why the men’s names are redacted?
- Reposted by shenaniganwatcherLuttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.
- Reposted by shenaniganwatcherAnother example of ICE using deceit & coercion in attempting to induce an immigrant prisoner to “self-deport” — even though a court had already ordered her release: “ICE agents had been pressuring her to self-deport while I had been working to get the judge's order effectuated.”
- Reposted by shenaniganwatcherEven though a court had granted the habeas petition, Kira Kelley’s “client … was being told that she would be transferred to Sherburne County jail to be detained for the duration of her pending immigration proceedings unless she signed self-deportation papers prior to the transfer going through.”
- Reposted by shenaniganwatcher‘There were signs everywhere in the detention facility offering us $3000 each if we agreed to self-deport. But the officers said they did not have resources for detainees to make phone calls. … The officers would frequently try to get people to sign forms agreeing to self-deport.’

- Reposted by shenaniganwatcherCorporatist fascism, plain and simple. DHS is trying to get tech companies to hand over data on Trump critics. This is unconstitutional, and Congress must shut it down, before we turn into East Germany. techcrunch.com/2026/02/03/h...
- Reposted by shenaniganwatcherI want to reiterate that this shit is nuts. A federal invasion of state-run elections, an intelligence community invasion of federal law enforcement, a White House invasion of a criminal investigation, and a president’s insane treasonable sore loser obsession all rolled up and muddled together.
- Reposted by shenaniganwatcherBreaking: The White House press secretary just said she "can't guarantee" that ICE won't be around polling locations in November.
- Reposted by shenaniganwatcher‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’
- Reposted by shenaniganwatcher“CBS News’ newest “star” contributor Peter Attia once chose to meet with Jeffrey Epstein—ignoring his wife’s plea to come to the hospital where their infant son was being treated.”

- Reposted by shenaniganwatcher@pabloreports.bsky.social: Are you concerned about DHS keeping watchlists of American protesters? REP. MOULTON: Absolutely. This is state-sponsored terror ... We start by not funding DHS. We gotta crack down on the government before they crack down on the American people.
- Reposted by shenaniganwatcherI'd like to know DOJ's reason for redacting who Epstein was emailing after the 2016 election, including "Holy hell! Is this good or bad??" and "By the way - do you think my long ago invitation to come to Mar a Lago 'whenever you want' still stands?? Hee hee" www.justice.gov/epstein/file...
