Relieved that we were able to bring the Gámez-Cuéllar family back home safely from the Dilley Detention Facility. They should never have been detained in the first place.

Trump shouldn’t ease Russia sanctions – they are choking its economy As the US waives its ban on India buying Putin’s oil for 30 days, Europe must bolster its own measures, such as stopping the flow of luxury cars

Massachusetts Could Be the Next State to Give Abuse Survivors a Pathway Out of Prison The Massachusetts Survivors Act emulates recent resentencing reforms across the country that allow for reduced sentences for people with convictions related to their abuse.

A Massachusetts bill would require judges to reduce someone’s sentence or offer pretrial diversion if they find that the person’s actions were directly related to their experiences of abuse. Advocates hope lawmakers can move it forward this year.

And three jets lost to “friendly fire” which means they are not communicating with our strategic allies.

Caine: "I am aware of the loss of 3 US Air Force F-15Es overnight in the region. I am grateful for the safety of the crews and we know this was not from hostile enemy fire. As this matter is under investigation, I'll not comment further on this."

Congratulations, America. "Insider trading on bombing" is a thing.

Push from Saudis, Israel helped move Trump to attack Iran President Trump launched a wide-ranging attack on Iran after weeks-long lobbying by an unusual pair of U.S. allies in the Middle East: Israel and Saudi Arabia.

"The attack came despite US intelligence assessments that Iran was unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the US mainland within the next decade."

So why do it?

"A weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia..."

Ah. Not just weak, but cheap, too.

Grok chooses blackmail when it detects a shut-down threat but the administration just contracted it for the DOD and is going to give it access to classified systems. What could possibly go wrong?

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.

1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.

2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.

3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.

4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

Now seems like a good time to remind everyone that the officer who m:rdered Philando Castile was acquitted, so if we want to see accountability we are going to have to work really hard to build a system that actually holds them accountable.

After the president’s slobbering incoherent speech where he said we are going to take over “Iceland” multiple times when he meant Greenland, this is not surprising.

Our president’s speech at Davos is the rantings of a stark raving lunatic and I have never been more ashamed to be an American than I am right now.

“They called me Daddy.”

No. We call you insane.

I am sure that none of you would want to rest content with the superficial kind of social analysis that deals merely with effects and does not grapple with underlying causes.”

“You deplore the demonstrations taking place in Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations.
