- The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago The unthinkable comes to Pa. coal country. My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...
- Great piece!
- Few people cover Iowa politics and Chuck Grassley as well as journalist @laurarbelin.bsky.social. Read her latest:
- New, by me: A must-read NYT Magazine report showed how Senator Chuck Grassley's oversight work as Judiciary Committee chair led to career FBI agents or supervisors being forced out, in some cases with no investigation supporting their alleged wrongdoing. www.bleedingheartland.com/2026/02/02/n...

- We are in a multi-front battle for our democracy. One of those front lines is the court system. Today at 12N CT I'm talking with former US Attorney Jim Santelle about that. I hope you join us LIVE on @lincolnsquare.media.

- "[W]e are beginning to see how the use of the words....'domestic terrorist' are being used by Trump as cover to expand his tyrannical abuse of power by destroying Amendment I’s protection of free speech and Amendment II’s protection of gun rights." www.stridentconservative.com/domestic-ter...
- Another idealistic aspiration that is impossible in reality, @eisendrath.net. Congress SHOULD rise to the moment, but they won't, & we all know why. And even if they miraculously did, Trump would veto any ICE reform they did pass. Wishcasting is pointless. www.lincolnsquare.media/p/congress-c...
- Every bit of progress America has ever made was thought impossible until we did it.
