In case you're wondering...

it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans.

And nobody has been fired...

Don't stop talking about SignalGate

Who is responsible for this? 🤣

Will you look at that?
COSTCO didn't roll back DEI, and store traffic increased by:

5.8% on the week beginning January 27,
5.7% on the week beginning February 3,
4.6% on the week beginning February 10

I could barely sit straight one month postpartum and Rep. Brittany Pettersen (CO-7) flew across the country and dressed up (probably wore heels too?!) to go vote NO on this terrible budget resolution

Over 73,000 people are currently in ICE custody, the most ever...

But that's not the only shocking number:

- There has been a 2,450% increase in the number of people with no criminal record being held in ICE detention on any given day.

Jeanette Vizguerra has lived in the U.S. for 30 years. She’s a mom, a community leader, and one of TIME Magazine’s 100 most influential people.

And now, ICE has detained her without warning because she’s a powerful voice for immigrants.

While you and I are worried about our healthcare premiums going up, the cuts to Medicaid that will force so many rural hospitals to close, making sure that those serving our country get paid...

Republican Senators are going to a LUXURY GOLF RESORT for a fundraiser during the Government Shutdown

Call ☎️ (202) 224-3121 and say something like this

“Hi, I’m calling to ask Senator [NAME] to vote NO on the nomination of Emil Bove to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals. He’s shown he doesn’t respect court orders, and that disqualifies him from being a judge. Thank you.”

KEEP UP THE PRESSURE. Jimmy Kimmel is coming back, but there’s a bigger picture here.

Nexstar and Sinclair own the most local ABC stations in the country. Both are waiting on FCC approvals for business deals that could shape their future.

Federal law says you MUST carry your immigration documents at all times.

So what happens when ICE takes them and won't give them back? You're trapped.

Legally required to carry papers that the government is holding hostage.

This is happening right now in Minnesota, and it's spreading.

Tonight, across the street from the White House...

This is what’s happening

The FBI is arresting Judges now?

In Milwaukee, Judge Hannah Dugan reportedly used her chambers to shield someone from being taken by ICE.

Multiple witnesses say ICE showed up to the courtroom without a warrant, and it’s still unclear if they ever had one.

House Republicans just voted to let presidents break the law, and to block courts from stopping them. (H.R 1526)

Yep. They voted on a bill that would ban nationwide court orders, even when the government is violating our rights. (Final tally was 218-214) 🧵

THIS is what leadership looks like

President Biden: “The federal government will pay for 100% of costs for several LA wildfire relief efforts for 180 days… things like debris and hazard material removal, temporary shelters, first responders' salaries, all necessary measures…”

🚨 Fake Spanish-language news accounts are going viral on TikTok.

Some use AI to mimic Univision or Telemundo reporters. Others quietly spread lies about immigration and elections.

This disinformation is targeting Latino communities.
Here’s what’s going on:

It Looks Like Univision. It Sounds Like the News. It’s a Lie. 🤥

Disinformation in Spanish is going viral, and it’s not an accident

This bill isn’t about public safety. If passed, it would:

❌ Allow racial profiling on a massive scale
❌ Jail immigrants without bail or due process, even for minor accusations
❌ Let state officials overrule federal immigration policy, throwing our system into chaos

Important Context you need to know about the Laken Riley Act
