    Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

    Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

    They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

    It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

    “Will pay any amount.”

    Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.

    Keith Wasserman: Does anyone have access to private firefighters to protect our home in Pacific Palisades? Need to act fast here. All neighbors houses burning. Will pay any amount. Thank you.

    “In the last week, more than 200 veterans have volunteered to attend immigration hearings with Afghans who worked with U.S. forces during the 20-year war in Afghanistan…”

    Hundreds of veterans volunteer to attend asylum hearings with Afghans
    The effort began after a former Afghan interpreter was detained after his San Diego asylum hearing this month.

    Before the cops in LA started escalating things for no reason it was funny how my main takeaway was how much people were looking out for each other in really helpful ways. I’ve never seen so many people with carts giving away free water, sunscreen, snacks, and masks to total strangers.

    Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

    The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

    Federal immigration agents conducted operations in Logan Heights and Southeast San Diego on Friday, with community members capturing footage of the enforcement actions.

    Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

    Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

    Photo of a woman with her hands behind her back, staring down the camera with a determined look. A coward in an HSI jacket has his face turned away.

    Schumer is trying to justify his vote on Jake Tapper right now, saying if they had let the government shut down "they could fire half the workers in the federal government."

    CNN has a panel talking about Epstein and the host just mentioned (almost as an aside!) that one of the guys is a lawyer defending Ghislaine Maxwell. And rather than being a guest who's grilled about the case, he's treated like any other panelist who just happens to be minimizing the crimes.

    Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."

    No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

    If you work for the federal government and are tempted to take Musk’s “buyout” offer please know that you’re never going to see that money.

    Jeff Stein & @JStein WaPo A federal worker sent me audio of a call that HR did today with staff about "deferred resignation" agreements offered by DOGE ... I think this is pretty well understood by now but helps confirm what many suspect The audio goes: Employee: Lets say I accept the agreement tomorrow - you were to rescind the agreement and they were to stop paying me on Friday ... we would have no recourse available? HR official: Yes... as the agreement is outlined that is absolutely correct 11:40 AM • 2/5/25 • 168K Views

    Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.

    ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

    From Getty Images: A resident films as people gather to confront ICE agents after two people from a residence were detained on January 13, 2026 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Trump administration has deployed over 2,400 Department of Homeland Security agents to the state of Minnesota in a push to apprehend undocumented immigrants.

    Kristi Noem: "When we did these operations in other cities across the country, we didn't see this kind of violence. We didn't see organized, funded protesters come in to conduct acts of violence against our law enforcement officers like we're seeing in Minneapolis."

    This line is going to stick with me for a very long time.

    “One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors…”

    Three U.S. citizens, ages 2, 4 and 7, swiftly deported from Louisiana
    The cases have renewed concerns that the Trump administration’s expedited deportations are violating the rights of both citizens and noncitizens.

    I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.
