By the way, Trump still has not publicly congratulated the U.S. women's hockey team. That seems to be lost in all this. No statement. No social media post. No call to them. Nothing.

HELL no. Your own hometown newspaper (which in better times for the paper I used to write for) gets your identity wrong with a racist photoswap in a post about the biggest night of your life?

A paper serving a majority Asian American metro population?

Apology, retraction, sackcloth and ashes.

We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege

If reading these letters doesn’t fill you with a deep and urgent need to burn these concentration camps to the ground after releasing their prisoners, you would’ve been on the wrong side in WWII.

My suggestion is that the NY Times profile politicians who are not just thinking about kids detained by ICE, but actually doing something about it, rather than enabling it.

The fact that they’re running the full Kilmer Abrego Garcia playbook on a fucking five year old in a bunny hat…it was outrageous when they did it to Abrego Garcia. It’s monstrous here

He has said this about every election since 2016, has always been heavy-handed in implying he will under no circumstances concede. An aspiring dictator from the beginning, he hardly ever pretended to believe in democracy. I’ll never understand why so many people averted their eyes from the obvious.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

I'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.

There was never a thing called "woke" it was a saying we had in the hood, white ppl stole it, and the rw decided it was some sinister plan.

A diverging bar chart showing that Republicans increasingly say GOP members of Congress aren’t obligated to support Trump if they disagree with him.

The share of Republicans who say congressional Republicans have an obligation to support Trump’s policies is down from the beginning of his term.

This is why Ohio State's decision to reject removing Leslie Wexner's name from the football facility was so foolish.

There were still millions of pages in the Epstein Files yet to be released, and he was always guaranteed to appear in them.

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

Kristi Noem must be impeached. ICE must be abolished. Democrats in the Senate cannot fund DHS.

Trump has created a militarized police force accountable only to him. These agents need to leave our cities NOW.

Think about it like this. This ICE agent was on camera and unmasked — fulfilling one of three "demands" Democratic leader Chuck Schumer just issued in order to agree to save Republicans and give DHS even more money.

And he was still threatening to kill someone.

'The folks are fearful.' Haitians living in Ohio may soon lose temporary protected status • Ohio Capital Journal Thousands of Haitians living in Ohio will lose their temporary protected status next week unless a federal court blocks it.

Haitians in Springfield, Ohio lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. There will very likely be a major ICE incursion the next day. Haitians in Springfield were the targets of Vance’s lying during the campaign.

Ms. Omar, visibly shaken after the assault, insisted to her staff and security that she would continue. She asked for a napkin and told them: "Just give me 10 minutes. I beg you. Please don't let them have the show."
Ms. Omar then turned the crowd. "Here's the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand," she said. "We are Minnesota strong, and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us."
Someone in the crowd later thanked Ms.
Omar for staying and continuing after the assault, which had shaken not only her but the entire room.
"I learned at a young age you don't give in to threats," Ms. Omar said.

Pro tip for any Hill journos, the Speaker can approve 24hr protection for Members who are under heightened threat. Omar used to have this, but Mike Johnson took it away. You should ask him about that
