Tennessee Republican bill would limit federal office to natural-born citizens β€’ Tennessee Lookout Tennessee Rep. Johnny Garrett is trying to disqualify some U.S. citizens from a shot at running for federal office.

some Tennessee Republicans want to ban naturalized citizens from running for office, through language that's as nakedly xenophobic as you can get (which is entirely tautological, and so goes without saying in this case): tennesseelookout.com/2026/01/23/t...

JUST IN: Greg Bovino is expected to leave Minneapolis and return to ... wherever they fly him to.
NOTE: They always like to fly him places because it's free - since he fits into a carry-on bag.

A major newspaper publishing guide to help people identify the munitions their government is using against them is a real "Late Republic America" timepeice that future historians will comment on.

Of course he does. Is this a joke? He defended the guy who killed Good. He’s told multiple people that he thinks protesters should be attacked. He told people at a rally to rough someone up. He’s said nothing as ICE has hurt people for months.

He doesn’t get to walk away from this now.

Congress can freeze out funding for ICE in 2 weeks β€” but only if Democrats are a unified opposition. To make that happen, we must flood their offices with calls to demand ICE Out For Good.

damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis

When sitting Governors and a Mayors talk about what the federal government is doing, that's of course a felony.

But when the outgoing President conspires for weeks to overturn an election he lost then tells a crowd to storm the Capitol, that's of course a sacred and protected "official act."

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

And look what he’s doing to us?
He loves repression.

Read it and shiver in contemplation of the monstrous consequences of this immoral and profoundly dangerous world view, the one that now guides the most powerful nation on the planet.

Again, they’re fundamentally authoritarian right down to their core: they believe you’re not even allowed to want to know what they’re doing. We’re not citizens, we’re subjects, and our duty is to simply trust that our betters have this well in hand.

The GOP has really leaned in to singling out Somalis for very explicit racism. Ron Johnson and the rest of the party are just loathsome, un-American people.

Right. Because Trump’s announcement was a panic move.

This is getting lost: For weeks Trump officials had the option to remove Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica, but refused to do so. Instead they kept trying to send him somewhere more dangerous. Costa Rica wasn't cruel and dehumanizing enough.

This is deeply sick conduct.
