- By selecting Ms. Adams as her nominee for lieutenant governor, Ms. Hochul, 67, a Buffalo native, has created the first all-woman major-party ticket in New York State history, and has chosen someone who brings geographic balance and a shared political sensibility to the ticket.

- NEW EPISODE: Supreme Court expert Steve Vladeck joins me to break down the "Shadow Docket" — emergency rulings issued without explanation and with enormous consequences. We discuss what it would take for the Supreme Court to finally step in and stop Donald Trump. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WY7...

- New in PN: Lower courts can't fix what's broken in Minnesota "Judge Menendez’s decision isn’t a failure of will. It’s a result of a world where conservatives on the nation’s highest court have decided their job is to help President Trump achieve a desired result, law and procedure be damned."
- Trump lied when he said he'd target “the worst of the worst.” TPS protects those who would otherwise be in grave danger. They are legally residing here & contribute to our economy & communities. Glad judges have halted Trump’s reckless termination of TPS for Haiti & Ethiopia.
- We’re grateful to this whistleblower for speaking the truth and recognizing the power of our lawsuit against DOGE. We will keep fighting to protect sensitive Social Security data from being unlawfully accessed and shared.

- WARREN: This should be an easy one. Can you commit that Trump's Fed nominee will not be sued or investigated by the DOJ if he does not cut interest rates like Trump wants? BESSENT: That's up to the president W: You can't say he won't be criminally investigated? That's supposed to be the soft ball!

- I feel this in my soul. The heartbreak is real. The panic is real. The sleepless nights and nightmares are real. 💔 Looking at what we’ve become is truly soul-crushing. Trump and vile MAGA Republicans must be stopped.

- New Quinnipiac poll: 63% of voters disapprove of ICE 60% want ICE out of Minneapolis 58% want Kristi Noem removed from office
- I’m betting Comer will suddenly lose interest in this hearing.
- wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."

- BREAKING: Ed Martin was found, per CNN below, by DOJ to have violated GJ secrecy and also apparently lied about it. If the reporting is accurate, both are federal crimes. Will Martin be charged, given how quick a trigger this DOJ has re Letitia James & James Comey? edition.cnn.com/2026/02/04/p...

- We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.
- This is another effort that has taken a HUGE amount of local activism, led by community folks who care. It CAN be done. Get involved where you live and push back. www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/i...
- An excellent quote, if I say so myself, which I just did.
- I had more to say. Full article here:
- 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.
- It cost me $66.70 to get this transcript. Money well spent. I don't need anyone to reimburse me. But, if you got something out of this transcript, please consider making a $66.70 donation, or even $6.67, to the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund, which posts bond for immigration detainees. mibfc.org

- For a moment, Steve was dumbstruck, wondering if he had somehow, in all of his research, missed a photo that was in fact in the Library of Congress collection. And so, he inquired further as to the source. And here, folks, is the fun part: The AI app, confidently and authoritatively...

- Remarkable: Trump's planned migrant prison camps are hitting deep resistance in red areas. In Virginia's partly rural Hanover (+26 Trump) opposition is intense. GOP leaders in other states are opposed. Voters are rejecting mass deportations big time. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2060...

View full threadThis passed unnoticed: New Pew poll finds 64% oppose mass detention of migrants while their cases are decided. That directly repudiates MAGA. Trumpism treats the release of migrants awaiting hearings as a mortal blow to the nation. The broader public does not. 3/ newrepublic.com/article/2060...
- Vast camps are central to Trumpism. Stephen Miller has long been very excited about them. Backlash is another sign that opposition to Trump/Miller runs deeper than revulsion at ICE. There's real resistance to the whole ideological project of mass deportations. 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2060...
