Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.
🚨NEW: A federal judge out of Oregon has issued a sweeping rebuke of the DOJ’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls.
The opinion released Thursday concluded that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warned that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

Can we not know the name of the alleged staffer posting racist shit from Trump’s account, or would that be “doxing” too?
1. What is this person’s name?
2. How many of Trump’s posts, which impact the markets & foreign policy, are being made by this person?
3. Have they been fired?
In 2024, Trump stated that only himself and Dan Scavino have access to his Truth Social account.
This contradicts Karoline Leavitt’s implication that some random, unnamed low-level staffer was to blame for posting the now-deleted racist Obama ape video.
WOW! WHITE HOUSE SAYS TRUMP DOESN’T WRITE HIS OWN TWEETS???
AUTOPEN!
NEW: Racist video of Obamas removed from Trump social account
A White House official blamed a staffer for erroneously posting the video.
Racist video of Obamas removed from Trump's social account
The post was up on Trump's Truth Social account for about 12 hours.

So incredibly racist.
Would be a huge scandal for any president where everyone in the world didn’t already know he was a horrible human being with no moral compass.
Here's
@rickhasen.bsky.social detailing the scenario in which Trump uses search warrant to seize ballot boxes in a contested 2026 locale. This is more worrisome than ICE at the polls. Hasen also suggests ways to act against this now.
It's harrowing stuff:
newrepublic.com/article/2062...Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself.
25th Amendment now.
he's so close to figuring it out!
Wake up‼️
Trump’s election theft playbook is on repeat. He keeps talking about election fraud and trying to take over state elections far too often to ignore. This is serious.

TEXAS — “Get out of my house!! U.S. and they’re inside my house with no warrant. They broke a window.”
Trump’s ICE goons terrorize a citizen family, including attacking a man when he closes the door as they leave.

Understatement of the century
I’m betting Comer will suddenly lose interest in this hearing.
I doubt it’s a coincidence that Tulsi Gabbard was at the Georgia election office raid and Maduro is in custody. Her presence signals they could fabricate a foreign election interference claim. But not against Russia, of course.
Oh no. He will be hauled in front of multiple congressional committees multiple times. Don’t forget to thank James Comer for establishing the precedent.
Time machine. It’s important that Democrats start using publicly available information like this to hold Republicans accountable every single day. Just because some years ago by doesn’t mean something changed.

We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Alex Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed.
Read our full story:
propub.li/4qUNfXHI swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")
Heads are going to explode 💥
Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

A retiree wrote this email to a DHS attorney. Within five hours, DHS demanded Google turn over records for his account.
A Kafkaesque form of domestic surveillance, intimidating Americans for lawful speech.

KAITLAN COLLINS: What would say to Epstein survivo---
TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.
This is the way 💥 ☠️ 🤣
It absolutely could not be clearer that the Constitution gives the states the power to conduct their own elections. It's right there, plain as day. Any attempt to "federalize" state elections would be unconstitutional, undemocratic, and impeachable.
BASH: Would you be comfortable w/Trump 'taking over' elections nationally?
REP GONZALES: POTUS is bringing up a fact on many Americans' minds - election integrity
B: Isn't the issue that he's not telling the truth?
G: One of the issues is every state does it differently. That gives a lot of doubt
The whole reason this is being discussed is because ICE unilaterally decided in a memo last year that they could operate outside of the Fourth Amendment.
ICE's Fourth Amendment-free search policy, Minnesota church protest charges, and more
The Trump administration's cruel, lawless immigration enforcement efforts were on full display this week. So was the pushback.
Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever.
Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."
Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?
MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone
Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

How did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed?
That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.
Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

They want us working earlier and til we die to pay for their tax cuts for the rich. Supervillains.

Trump Had Unusual Call With F.B.I. Agents After Election Center Search
Breaking NYT:
Behind closed doors, Tulsi Gabbard met with some of the FBI field agents responsible for the Georgia election office raid.
During the meeting, she called Trump.
Trump addressed the agents on speakerphone, asking them questions as well as praising them for their work on the inquiry.

This would be akin to President Biden speaking to the FBI agents right before they searched Mar-a-Lago. I'm sure Republicans would have been totally fine with that.

Trump: "Minnesota is a mess. There's something in the water up there. I won the 3 three times but I got no credit for it. It's a rigged state. Really rigged badly w/ the Somalians, and the Somalians & the theft. We gotta get 'em out, most of them. 92% don't work. Many of them drive Mercedes-Benzes."

www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...Exclusive: A U.S. official has alleged wrongdoing by U.S. spy chief Tulsi Gabbard in a complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to people familiar with the matter.
Classified Whistleblower Complaint About Tulsi Gabbard Stalls Within Her Agency
Congress hasn’t seen the complaint, which was filed eight months ago with the U.S. intelligence community watchdog’s office.
The conservatives used to shut down the government over a few hundred million dollars. Seriously.
Yet Trump blows billions and sues the govt for billions and gets a “free” jet from Qatar that the govt will spend a billion on then let him take it with him… and not a peep.
The king of law firm capitulators was also apparently an Epstein fanboy.
