Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Scoop: Stephen Miller behind misleading claim that Alex Pretti wanted to "massacre" agents The episode illustrates the sheer power of Miller, Trump's close and longest-serving political adviser

Breaking Axios:

Kristi Noem's language that Alex Pretti wanted to "massacre" federal agents was dictated to Noem and her department by the man most responsible for the controversial operation: Stephen Miller.

That's according to four sources who spoke to Axios. www.axios.com/2026/01/27/t...

You and what army?

No, really, Matt: if you want to deport and jail all my neighbors, you’re going to need an army.

We’re in the real world now bucko. This isn’t internet land where you declare something and it becomes true. You need actual dudes. So where’s your army?

β€œ.. If the Trump administration wants the public to support its immigration enforcement actions .., it needs to speak honestly about events. Kristi Noem has repeatedly demonstrated that she is incapable of that.”

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

State troopers in riot gear are protecting ICE agents who have long guns. People yelling at the state troopers, β€œturn around and arrest them! They just killed a Minnesotan!”

Hey @blumenthal.senate.gov - they are ALREADY LEGALLY REQUIRED to get a judicial warrant! This lawlessness can't be reformed. Any Democrat that votes for another penny in funding to ICE is complicit, and voters will remember. cc to my senators @kaine.senate.gov and @markwarner.bsky.social

Q: What goals do you have for '26 in Congress for your agenda?

TRUMP: I have great executive orders. Like, water coming out of a sink. The water wouldn't come out. They had all sorts of restrictions. I took them off. Straws. They don't have to be paper anymore. I'd like to have all that confirmed.

Wait he didn’t consult with political pundits or conduct a focus group or fill his response with euphemisms? He just said what he thinks? And now he’s going to defend it and persuade people? What a concept.

It’s really hard to bear the contrast on my TL of regular ass Minnesotans doing some of the bravest shit I’ve ever seen in the face of state sponsored terror followed by a deep blue state senator posting: β€œerrrm how does taking Greenland help lower the price of groceries?”

The House voted 341 to 79 to fund Trump's war-mongering foreign policy agenda.

I appreciate several things about FIRED UP by @shannonrwatts.bsky.social

One is that it understands what I would call "know-your-place aggression" by speaking in terms of "blowback" (which is quite appropriate for the fire analogy, of course).
