- Blumenthal: ICE and CBP are out of control. The practices of this agency have to be completely overhauled. It’s like a corporation in bankruptcy—either dissolved or reorganized. They’re morally bankrupt, legally bankrupt, and politically bankrupt.

- GOP says if just had voter id laws in place they'd never need to worry about election "integrity." Reminder: Georgia in 2020 election had in place one of strictest voter id laws in nation. Yet still Trump/GOP still claim that election was fraudulent. If GOP wins it's fair, if lose it's fraud.

- Dear Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: You may not be aware of this, but it actually matters to the American public whether Donald Trump (1) has the intellect and temperament of a five-year old, (b) is a racist cretin, or (c) as seems most likely, both. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
- A lot of Post people have written eulogies/laments over the past few days, which I appreciate. Instead of writing something new, I will point back to my response to Bezos when he first proposed trying to accommodate the right — a piece that Matt Murray had to sign off on before it ran. Gift link:
- has anybody gotten confirmation yet from Mike Johnson that he hasn't seen the post?

- NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
- Britain has dethroned a prince, forced Mandelson to resign, & lost confidence in Starmer because Rep. Thomas Massie & I forced the release of the Epstein files. What is America doing to hold the Epstein class accountable? We need to haul these powerful men before Congress.

- Lost in the pathetic excuse for Trump's Racist Obama video is that the excuse is just as bad. It's somehow better if...SOMEBODY AT THE WHITE HOUSE BESIDES THIS DEMENTED WHITE SUPREMACIST SCUM TRUMP was responsible for it? That's BETTER? (It's also a lie; Trump's account and site)
- I just got back from 3 days in Minneapolis-St. Paul. I met new folks, reunited w/ old friends & ran around w/ a local crew to capture it all… Well… it most. The crew are working right now to get the 1st videos out tomorrow. Sign up to my Substack to get them first. open.substack.com/pub/wkamaube...

- I’m glad Jeffries came out swinging on this one. Trump is an unrepentant racist and his posts should not be normalized.
- COONS: Joe, it's same rules NYPD follows. Do you see roving bands of NYPD w/ masks using bear spray on people? KERNEN: You lost the election! That doesn't give you right to shut down govt C: I have to fight for the core value of our democracy, including law enforcement that doesn't murder citizens
- Props to NPR for leading the newscast w/ the president's racist post. But, c'mon...they're not false narratives. They're lies. Words matter (Once again, don't give me the 'but we don't know what he knows or is thinking.')

- I stand with County Executive Calvin Ball as he signs emergency legislation today prohibiting privately owned buildings from being used as ICE detention centers. Howard County chose dignity, accountability, and its people. Tune into our event now: bit.ly/4a2VtHw
- Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

- It’s an undisciplined culture of cruelty. And it’s contagious because they’re emboldened and unaccountable. Don’t believe the goverment. Believe your eyes. ICE is rotten.
- MEMPHIS: “Memphis Safe Task Force” (U.S. marshal) caught KICKING A PUPPY 😳 as they arrested a guy for on a drug warrant “He was harmless. There’s no reason he should’ve done that.” @GovBillLee this is what we’re paying $1 Million a day for?🤔 Full: wreg.com/news/video-u...

- The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!
- goes without saying, but every Republican member of congress should be asked about that disgusting video and their support for that man every single day until they are forced to give a response
- Donald Trump posted a racist, vile video of Barack and Michelle Obama. It’s an absolute embarrassment that the President continues to use a bully pulpit out of his own insecurity. Every single Republican should be denouncing this bigotry.
- "White House Shrugs Off ‘Fake Outrage’ Over Trump Post Depicting Obamas as Apes" To Trump's very WHITE House, depicting Black people as monkeys is something they likely do all the time so they can't see why anyone is upset. www.mediaite.com/media/news/w...
- Here’s how Karoline Leavitt is gaslighting us about the video Trump posted featuring the Obamas as monkeys:
- Republican senator and NRSC chair 👇
- The fact that the President of the United States posts a racist video with an image depicting the Obamas as apes and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.
- Trump reposting a video of the Obamas as "apes" during Black History Month and no Republican officials as of yet condemning him is another reason why every one of them needs to be defeated at the ballot box and shunned in public.
- I am not going to repost the vile and racist image that Trump posted last night of President & First Lady Obama because it is beyond disgusting. Trump is a vile racist as is every Republican that continues to support him. I don’t want to hear mumbling from Mike Johnson or stoic silence from Thune.
- Hillary was right about everything….
