Tyranny requires your fear, your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage. I will not be silent and I will never be compliant.

Howard Lutnick, U.S. Secretary of Commerce.

LAST YEAR - Claimed he cut all ties w/Epstein IN 2005 b/c my wife & I never wanted to be "with that disgusting person again".

TODAY - Admitted he went to Epstein's island house IN 2012 w/his wife & 4 kids for lunch but they were only there about an hour
In an interview last year, Lutnick said “in the six to eight steps it takes to get from his house to my house, my wife and I decided that I will never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again” and cut ties in 2005.

He took his children to the island in 2012.

Remember how Trump said that he was sending Tom Homan to replace Greg Bovino so that ICE operations in Minnesota would have a "softer touch"?

Turns out that "softer touch" means cutting way back on the tear gas so that ICE agents have both hands free to violently assault observers.
Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities:

Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down

Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged

Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

What being a billionaire scion taught JB Pritzker about standing up to one
Few national Democrats have pushed back as forcefully against Trump’s authoritarian crackdown. There’s a reason for that.

Surprise AZ resident at city council meeting objecting to ICE using a warehouse in Surprise as an ICE detention center.

Rejecting the Mayor's claim that the city couldn't do anything about it, the speaker told the Mayor "We don't know exactly how ICE will use this warehouse but we know enough".
Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Yesterday a Democrat won in red Tarrant County by 14%. Huge shift from when Trump won this district by 17% in 2024. The Republican candidate was endorsed by Trump, spent $2.2 million more than the Democrat candidate and still lost.

Keep fighting back, it matters.
Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.

Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.

With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.

Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

US Deputy AG Todd Blanche can't explain why Tulsi Gabbard was at the Atlanta warehouse when the FBI seized the 2020 Fulton County ballots, but he's sure that "her presence shouldn't be questioned...and the fact that she was present in Atlanta that day shouldn't surprise anybody".

🙈🙉🙊
Q: Can you explain Tulsi Gabbard's role in DOJ activity regarding the Fulton County search?

BLANCHE: She happened to be present in Atlanta. I saw the same photo you did. She doesn't work for the DOJ or FBI.

The Wall Street Journal (!) is calling the U.S. government liars. Headline today: "Videos Contradict U.S. Account of Minneapolis Shooting By Federal Agents"

Never did I think that the WSJ would not only call the US government liars but would do so with a detailed analysis of what actually happened.

This is the man that ICE executed this morning in Minneapolis. Alex Pretti, U.S. citizen, ICU nurse.

Every one of these ICE agents needs to be charged with murder. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

J.D. Vance is trying to find a sex offender -

Let me help you with that JD, here's the address: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20500. It's a big white house, stands out, you won't even need GPS.
Vance: If we're trying to find a sex offender, tell us where the guy lives.

J.D. Vance claiming that a warrant from an Administrative Law Judge allows ICE to kick in your front door. THAT IS A FLAT OUT LIE & J.D - who went to Yale Law School - KNOWS IT IS A LIE.

The 4th Amendment requires ICE to get a JUDICIAL WARRANT signed by a federal or state court judge for that.
JD Vance: "Nobody is talking about doing immigration enforcement without a warrant. We're talking about different types of warrants that exist in our system. Typically in the immigration system, those are handled by administrative law judges. So we're talking about getting warrants from them."

J.B. Pritzker on the DOJ subpoenas -

"My response - and I know Tim Walz's response is - come and get us because everything you're saying is a lie."
You cannot cower in the face of Donald Trump.

He’s a classic bully — you can’t step back, you’ve got to fight back.

Let me help you with that Kristi:

-His name is DAVID EASTERWOOD, Acting ICE Field Director in Minneapolis. Also a Pastor w/Cities Church which is 'committed to worshiping Jesus & loving one another'. Unless you black, brown, LGBTQ, anti-fascist or believe in democracy & the rule of Law.
VAN SUSTEREN: The church -- that's a particularly troubling issue because you got a pastor, I purposely didn't name it, he's reportedly associated with ICE

NOEM: Thank you for not naming him. People don't realize that when you keep naming someone over and over, you increase the threats against them

Want to know the real reason Trump wants Greenland? Just look at this list of the billionaires who will benefit from seizing Greenland. And you can bet that the Trump family will make millions on this too.

Always follow the money.
Shocked? Nope.

Yesterday W/O A WARRANT heavily armed ICE Agents stormed this old man's house, WHO IS A U.S. CITIZEN, handcuffed him & took him out of the house in his underwear & a robe.

I remember an America where this would have resulted in lawsuits, lots of people being fired & Congressional hearings.
Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.

He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

Who is the FBI investigating for the shooting of Renee Good:

-Her wife
-Her friends
-The Mayor of Minneapolis
-The Governor of Minnesota

Who the FBI is not investigating:

-Jonathan Ross, the ICE Agent who shot Renee Good, called her a "fucking bitch" and then left the scene.
BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?

BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

FANTASTIC NEWS! Jack Smith has formed a law firm with Tim Heaphy, David Harbach & Thomas Windom (Heaphy Smith Harbach & Windom LLP). Per Heaphy "We will certainly be prepared to take on matters adverse to the Administration".

Meet the Commissioner of the Food & Drug Administration who wants to know why medications require prescriptions.

Mark my words, next up will be why do you need a doctor when you can just use AI to give you a diagnosis & tell you what medication to buy.
Makary: "Why are medications prescription only? If you think about it, if a medication is safe, doesn't require laboratory test monitoring & can't be used in some nefarious way, why do we require a prescription? Most of the world does not do that. There's something magical about price transparency."

ICE is terrorizing American cities & the Minority Leader of the Senate thinks the 'affordability crisis' should be the Dems focus in 2026 "b/c that's what the American people are demanding".

No Chuck, we're furious & we want action NOW. How about we start with cutting off ICE's funding.
Schumer as a major American metro is being brutally occupied by Trump goons: "The affordability crisis will be our focus throughout 2026 because that's what the American people are demanding"

So you thought that all that Venezuelan oil money was going to be deposited with the US Treasury - nah, it's being deposited into bank accounts in Qatar. You remember Qatar, the country that gave Trump a $400 million plane as an "unconditional gift" back in May.
Trump is selling seized Venezuelan oil and putting the cash in a bank account in Qatar. Nothing to see here. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

Message for Will Cain from this liberal white woman -
