Protected speech made my agents murder these people, says federal official
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

Democrats should demand every sitting Republican decry this attack and explicitly denounce it, and then censure all of them when they don’t do it. Act like normal decent humans defending your colleague.

I would love MLB to leave Twitter (formerlyX). Elon Musk is a whites-come-first guy, and MLB is totally integrated.

pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:

"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

NEW: In a court hearing for a TRO against the feds in Minneapolis, the plaintiffs just said one of their exhibits contains a recording of a federal agent saying "Well, this person is gonna have a hard time traveling from now on" after taking a photo of an ICE observer's license plate. 1/

Some ICE observers have found their Global Entry status has been revoked after having interactions with DHS officers.

Good, clear explanation. FYI.
FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

This is a goddamn nightmare.
ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.

"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.

Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature.

FYI: When you leave a comment that begins "As a conservative and a MAGA supporter," I stop reading at that point, delete your comment and block you. If you can describe yourself as a Trump supporter in the present tense, I don't give a shit about your opinion.

Every journalist needs to read this
My Stop the Presses newsletter calls for more aggressive action by the media to be "radically truthful" and defeat the liars:
/ Correct *every* lie uttered on your platform.
/ Put Trump's remarks on tape delay for proper fact checks.
/ Cut off liars in mid-interview and ban them from your airwaves.
How to build a radically truthful news outlet
The old ways don’t work. Time to declare war on the liars.

No discussion of democracy. No discussion of elections. Plenty of talk by Trump about running the country and taking the oil. Let’s not forget to thank John Roberts for his role in immunizing this international criminal.

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.
