Hello Bluesky! What a welcome relief from the ‘ceXpool. I’m eating this up!
Boo hoo.

This is what leadership looks like. Thank you Mark!
There’s only 1 person in Congress who doesn’t trade stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. That’s me. And it should be the standard.

Outrageous! It’s theft.
Insanity. They are laughing at us.

It’s the guns. It’s always the guns.
Mass shooting at a Rhode Island at a high school hockey game. 1 dead and 4 wounded. Deaths will continue endlessly! Gun are a health crisis. 415 million guns available with few restrictions. 100% probability that an angry; hating; alienated; disturbed individual will use a gun to enact his violence!

More BS from the Repubs. Must have talked to brainworm guy after he cleaned off the toilet seat.
A new draft of the farm bill from House Republicans is being used to advance protections for pesticide manufacturers. The proposal includes language that would shield companies from state-level penalties or court rulings if their product labels don’t spell out potential health risks.

Agriculture Chair Glenn Thompson borrowed some Democratic ideas, but the panel’s ranking member called it a “charade.”

Jeffries needs to go now! He doesn’t understand the moment (again).
I think @wajali.bsky.social was clear. He acknowledges the current fight, but asks @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to lead on the long term goal of abolishing ICE. I don’t understand the leader’s reticence on that very simple, and frankly moderate position.
A simple ? from Wajahat Ali pushes Hakeem Jeffries into a crashout:

"Why not lead and abolish ICE? What you're telling us is you want our taxpayer dollars to pay for a lawless masked armed agency to continue terrorizing our cities."

Jeffries: "I don't understand anything you just said to me."

Just remember…a Felon47 endorsement now is the kiss of death. We’ve already seen it with some special elections. The power is slipping.

Oh, really? Someone should tell Homan.
under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime

I saw the press conference. They are not leaving. Only drawing down. No numbers were offered so don’t read too much into this.
Minnesota, you won. Much of ICE are leaving. Don't trust this. They are trying to get the funding bill passed. Once the bill passes they'll be back at it either by you or someplace else.

No way! Doctored.
The Labor Department reported a 130,000 increase in nonfarm payrolls in January, and the unemployment rate fell slightly to 4.3%. The report also revised down the number of jobs added in 2025 from 584,000 to 181,000.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

Thanks for speaking so clearly.

Oh, so pulling a Mikey Johnson.
I admit, there aren't enough hours in the day to follow EVERY corrupt move made by Trump!
Still, you'd think he would be aware of the biggies.

The numbers speak for themselves
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Do we believe her or all the victims? Easy one.
No, Maxwell will lie for Trump if he pardons her.

It would be impossible for Maxwell to prove her lies.

The truth would expose Trump.

Secure her proffer and proof she can produce of Trump's innocence. She won't; she can't.

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.

No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.

Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?

No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

So let me get this straight. The U.S. Attorney’s Office had a draft statement announcing Jeffrey Epstein’s “suicide” dated August 9, 2019. He didn’t die until August 10. Totally normal. Nothing to see here.
