ICE and CBP remain a violent menace and no Member of Congress should vote for a budget that gives the regime more money without ironclad limits on ICE and CBP, actual accountability for abuses, and clear guardrails to stop raids and intimidation.
This victory belongs to the people of Minnesota who have inspired all of us by transforming crisis into action and tragedy into solidarity. People power works.
The timing of this announcement — shortly before Congress votes on a DHS funding bill — is no accident.
These officers are out of control. This administration needs to be stopped.
Democrats must refuse to vote for any funding bill that increases ICE’s budget and refuse to fund DHS until ICE’s abuses of power are stopped.
The government funding deadline is January 30th. Call your reps today: (202) 224-3121

Everyone with authority must speak out now against Trump's depravity and lawlessness.
Every Democratic leader.
Every university, professional association, charity, and foundation head.
Every CEO.
Every religious leader.
If they don't, history will condemn their cowardice and complicity.
Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
Also worth noting that from the time literally George Washington was president to 2021, Nashville was one Congressional District.
If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:
Really proud of my progressive pals in Nashville. Unless you live in a state dominated by Republicans, you don't really understand the obstacles faced. A +13 swing in a gerrymandered district is impressive af!

Knoxville's WATE-TV 6 "On Your Side" is Nexstar's ABC affiliate.
The House Republican "big beautiful bill" will add $5+ TRILLION to US deficits.
This is NOT "good for the economy".

As @kellyscaletta.bsky.social said over on Twitter...
What a great turn out in Knoxville, TN. This is just a small part of the protest. It went on for MILES! The estimate is 4,000 people. (Of course the local news says hundreds and no photos.) @maddow.msnbc.com
Grocery lists are getting a lot shorter for consumers as food prices continue to soar. Inflation over the past couple of years has made trips to the grocery store a lot harder for many Americans — and a lot of folks expect prices will keep going up.
As this piece says, we don't put our FOIA reporting behind a paywall. We've done this since launch. FOIA reporting can be expensive (just today talking about a request that will cost thousands) but you can't charge for FOIA reporting freedom.press/issues/wired...
A judge recently found that DOGE is “likely covered” by FOIA and may have to make its documents publicly available by request.
To break down the ruling, @laurenleharper.bsky.social engaged with Reddit's r/IAmA community members in a Q&A session earlier this week.
From @djrothkopf.bsky.social for @thedailybeast.bsky.social: "Trump is doing so much damage that even the Americans disconnected from politics on whom his entire candidacy depended are now feeling the pain. And that suffering, discomfort and anger is only going to get worse."

“…never in the history of the world has a Nation lost its democracy by a successful struggle to defend its democracy. We must not be defeated by the fear of the very danger which we are preparing to resist…The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

A bold political graphic features Elon Musk and Donald Trump in black and white, positioned in front of the White House. Musk is making a Nazi salute, while Trump speaks with clenched fists. The phrase "NO KINGS." is displayed across the center in distressed typography, with "NO" in bright yellow and a small tilted crown on the "S" in "KINGS." The background has a torn-paper effect, and the bottom half of the image is deep blue, featuring the call to action: "Join us to fight back - indivisible.org" along with the Indivisible logo.

No Dem Senator has to follow Schumer here. This is a weak stategic move driven by fear and learned helplessness. Don't follow him. He's leading the party into irrelevance and helping Trump and Musk in the process.
Call your Dem Senators and ask them not to join Schumer's surrender tomorrow.
