Killing the Washington Post has been a core mission of the right wing in the U.S. since Watergate...along with creating their own media ecosystem to support their views. It is Roger Ailes' dream. It is now, essentially, a fait accompli.
January 6 was the worst day of my life. But the threat of Donald Trump didn’t end when the mob left the Capitol.
That’s why I’m running for Congress: to defend this country, with the full constitutional authority of Congress.
I’m Harry Dunn. And I’m ready to finish the job.
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.
Folks:
This is important.
SHEAR—the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic (a GREAT organization)—is tracking examples of the regime erasing history.

Don’t make the mistake of lumping this in with weekly Trump outrages. This is the knife at the jugular of democracy. It should be an absolute call to maximum resistance for all patriots.
Trump, in an Escalation, Calls for Republicans to ‘Nationalize’ Elections www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...
If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.
Yes, Peter decided that the continued existence of our democracies isn't compatible with his desired level of personal freedom.
An absolute enemy of humanity.
This is why Democrats need to compete EVERYWHERE.
We won’t win every race, but it’s stupid and irresponsible to simply forfeit certain races to incumbents. Always but especially now, we need competitive elections. And at the bare minimum, make them spend money defending seats they had won by 17 pts
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.
In rural Minnesota, law enforcement intervenes to stop ICE officers from arresting a US citizen observing them. The incident involved the chief of police in St Peter, MN. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
They used "anti-semitism" as a pretext to deport foreign-born students and chill free speech, and their deportation chief -- the one with the nonstandard Hugo Boss-style greatcoat -- was spouting anti-semitic insults at a US attorney
Tonight’s #FridayLimericks call out the systematic assault on the First Amendment.
Under President Trump, we are cursed
With unquenched anti-liberty thirst.
He’s attacking our rights
Over pissed pants and slights,
Trimming freedoms enshrined in the First.
Or how about this headline — “American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.
If you haven't read this yet you should. And you should show it to everyone who refuses to use the word concentration camp or who tries to argue that "detention" camps are fine if we just do it "humanely." There's no such thing as a humane concentration camp and you can't reform them.
Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.
If Stephen Miller is still in the White House, that means the white nationalist gameplan is still all systems GO.
What we're witnessing is just window dressing and distractions.
Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino, but less openly Nazi.
Keep your eyes wide open.
If they are this seamless and nonchalant about violently murdering white middle-class citizens in broad daylight - and if the Federal Government has bestowed broad legal immunity - what must they be doing to brown non-citizens under the cover of their for-profit detention centers?
The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.
A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
There isn't any middle ground here. There is no "reaching across the aisle." The Trump cult, including the entire GOP, wants to be able to murder with impunity. Plain and simple.
This is their goal.
There is no discussion to be had.
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
YOUR PHONE CALLS TO THE SENATE ARE WORKING. KEEP CALLING.

Three Democrats who previously broke with the party and voted with the GOP are now saying they will not vote for the bill. That’s enough for the bill to be unpassable right now.
We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.
Should not be lost on any of us that this second - and even more violent - public execution of a legal observer comes in the immediate aftermath of JD Vance showing up to declare absolutely immunity for murderous ICE thugs.
