“At the Border Security Expo in Phoenix, Arizona, acting director of ICE Todd Lyons told attendees: ‘We need to get better at treating this like a business.’ He called for a deportation process to be ‘like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings.’”

Genesee County built the STAMP industrial park but can’t get enough companies to fill it. So they’re trying hook a ginormous data center project. But like the Tesla plant in Bflo, promised benefits aren’t guaranteed and are greatly outweighed by the costs www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/04/d...
Tax breaks worth $6.4 million per job.
The IDA in Genesee County is offering tax breaks worth $801 million to create just 125 jobs at its STAMP business park.

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress.

“She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me.

But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.
Toddler hospitalized with respiratory failure was returned to ICE detention without prescribed medication, lawsuit says
The 18-month-old was sent back to a South Texas facility after days in intensive care with severe respiratory distress, according to a federal lawsuit.

I’ve got no problem with people boycotting the SB halftime show—I think the offense taken is nonsense, but if you’re offended, yeah boycotted it, cool—but I can’t deal with the insistence that the NFL is going to lose massive audience by showing the most popular entertainer in the world

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.

This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.

They hate the helpers.

Which is why must keep helping.
Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests
Juan Leon sends a "chase" car to check out where abandoned vehicles are located and arranges discreet drop-offs. Since late December, he estimated they have dropped off 250 cars.

Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself.

Elie is right. It is always better to be prepared for something that didn't happen than to be unprepared for something that does. How many people that throw around "doomer" also said SCOTUS would never fold on immunity last year? The point is we don't know what's gonna happen. Better to be ready
Trump and the Republicans are trying to rig the election. That's not being a "doomer," that's acknowledging reality.
Democrats need a coordinated, national response to these coordinated, national attacks. We need an "Elections Czar"
