I genuinely believe we’d be in a much different place today. If every single day of any Trump presidency there has been a new impeachment filed with all Democrats voting for at every opportunity. Even if there had never been a republican defection it would frame things far more accurately.
Literally the only statement from an elected official I’ve read this morning worth our time. @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov take note!!
Thank you @mayor.nyc.gov @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

People are asking what else they can do.
My advice is to drop your subscriptions to Paramount and Warner Brothers services and use that money to support as many independent media outlets as you can afford. Pick a couple and give them a try. It's critical we build a pro-democracy media ecosystem.
Indiana University's football crown was the feel-good story of the year. Off the field...not so much
Ranked last for free speech, DEI cuts, slashing the humanities while paying its coach $13M under MAGA trustees

This is a great piece explaining the latest tariff developments.
But again, this is simply not true: "Without IEEPA, the President can no longer wake up in the morning & decide to raise tariffs on Indonesian goods before lunch."
Yes, he can, until Congress stops him, via impeachment & removal 1/
I’m reading that corporations will sue to get their tariff $$$ back. Is there similar recourse for lowly citizens?
This is a major victory for Maryland residents in the fight for safety and our rights.
Local police must be accountable to their communities, not ICE.
The Trump administration has supercharged the use of domestic terrorism investigations to scare Americans away from using their First Amendment rights to oppose its policies. bit.ly/4qwExhh
Stephen Colbert says his interview with Texas Democrat James Talarico was pulled from Monday's broadcast over fears it would violate “equal time” guidance from the Federal Communications Commission under the Trump administration.

Wow. The double-speak is falling all over itself. WTF.
In a functioning democracy, he would not be president by this evening
That's way more than a tail light. How did he luck out and dodge the ten bullets fired at him? Miracle on FIFTH AVENUE stuff here.
I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.
Outside in the evening. An office building with video and the words "Palantir Powers Fascism" projected at top. Below, a crowd of people with signs and candles memorializing people who have died at the hands of ICE.
Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #AbolishICE #ICEOut #Palantir #PaloAlto
Perfection
I keep wondering: is there some law prohibiting the minority party from creating an investigative committee? And, I have a dream that George Soros, et al. will buy a YouTube channel similar to Span and air hearings and read the files.
If only some wealthy socialist democrat would buy or start a television broadcast company and host round the clock testimony from truthful individuals like Jack Smith— ok, I thought of one person…
You go!
What if I said I’ve never seen 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.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.
This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.
One of the best things I’ve read in a while:
Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"
It sure looks like we are at war.
So, if multiple agents tackle a person to the ground, beat him, and then shoot him repeatedly, they cannot later say it was ok cause they later found he was armed - which is neither a crime nor one that carries the penalty of immediate execution.
There's no Nobel prize for killing civilians.
If by "more training" you mean "prosecture and exile the fuckers for the remainder of their days" then yea, we're on the same page
