- When I was in journalism school, The Washington Post was the dream. This was the publication of the people, the powerful newspaper that took down a corrupt president. My career took me in a different direction, but I kept my love for the Post. Today marks one of the darkest days for press freedom.

- Reposted by Jackie BarrientesAOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.
- Reposted by Jackie BarrientesAbolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.
- Reposted by Jackie BarrientesAnd today the Treasury Department told me it wouldn't expedite processing of a FOIA for the agreement allowing Qatar to hold the money because it couldn't identify an immediate public interest. To help out Treasury: It rhymes with corruption. It's also spelled the same as corruption.

- Rumor has it that the DoD's Dept. of Army is withholding furlough letters that civil servants need to sign as part of the government shutdown. I hear many of them received emails tell them to work as usual today, as if they're not on furlough. @vanhollen.senate.gov, can you staff check in on that?

- Today my Mighty Battle Hoe met her end, trying to free our car from the iced-in driveway (thanks, plows 😒). She served bravely for five days, destroying solid ice for our freedom. We shall tell stories in her memory. 30 mins later, I slipped on ice and badly hurt my shoulder in the fall. 😫
- My favorite Catherine O'Hara line of everything she's done. She was the queen of comedy and always the perfect person for the part. My heart is broken for her family and her fans.

- “We should be angry, because for years, no one listened,” said NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy. “This was 100% preventable.” The findings include a chain of errors, including a task-saturated air traffic controller, reliance on “visual separation” and limitations in what the helicopter crew could see.
- The crew landed the plane at Ellington Airport, southeast of Houston, and are “all safe at this time,” NASA said in a post on X. The federal space agency added that there was “mechanical issue” that will be investigated.

- I don't know how I'm supposed to fall asleep tonight. I live in a country run by a terrorist regime. State police are killing people in the street, if they're not kidnapping them from their homes. I live in fear of leaving my house, and in defiance by still doing so.
- That was my friend's favorite donut shop. The one she takes her elementary-aged kids to. She wasn't there today, but she easily could've been. But Minneapolis is under siege so she's been protecting her children.

- Reposted by Jackie BarrientesAll of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.
- We cannot continue to fund ICE! Even if that means we shut down the government again, we cannot let this continue. No amount of extra training will change the hearts of these people willing to publicly execute someone on the street! @vanhollen.senate.gov @alsobrooks.senate.gov
