An 18-month-old baby held in ICE detention was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening respiratory failure.

She was then sent back to detention, where she was denied daily medication.

Republicans in Congress could impeach Trump for so many things and yet none have the guts, women included. Let me remind you of the people on Flight 93 on 9/11 that stood up for democracy! They stopped the hijackers! And you are worried about Trumps wrath?? Do the right thing! Grow a set!

Does anyone else long for the days when political journalism was about reportage and analysis rather than endless tittle-tattle and trying to shift public opinion?

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

The Epstein scandal is taking down Europe’s political class. In the US, they’re getting a pass.

As Europe moves to address its shame, it’s highlighting the comparative lack of accountability in the U.S.

Trump reposting a video of the Obamas as "apes" during Black History Month and no Republican officials as of yet condemning him is another reason why every one of them needs to be defeated at the ballot box and shunned in public.

Two things are true 1.) Informed observers, including many if not most elected Republicans, know how this regime is going to end, it's just a question of when and how. 2.) It's up to the rest of the country to fight them to a draw until they collapse or are turned out of office via elections. 1/2
over the next 3 years, be ready for seeing a lot of coverage of Republican lawmakers, business leaders, university leaders who did absolutely nothing to stall Trump (on the contrary) — about how *actually* they were wringing their hands all along. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/u...

Nazi concentration camps had INCINERATORS —- WTF.
⛓️CONCENTRATION CAMPS & INCINERATORS—D.H.S. is setting up a huge network of camps. They are converting the U.S. as a region for ‘expeditionary military deployment’ & no-bid no-public-comment contracts to build a “ghost network” of 10,000-person concentration camps. Jesus. Thread 🧵

So simply naming someone is doxxing, but taking photos and license plate numbers to create a database of the opposition for government stalking and harassment purposes is not?

Naming someone is not doxxing them, and moving them to another city to kill more is conspiracy against rights.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.
