Dems showed real leverage in the budget fight, forcing a deal to keep the government open and push for new limits on ICE operations after public outrage. It’s proof that speaking out, organizing, and demanding accountability can move even the toughest negotiations. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/u...

This is the key. We can't win if we don't show up.
Buried in this article is the astonishing news that "Across the state Democrats have recruited candidates to run in all 150 state House districts, 16 state Senate districts and every other state and federal contest on the ballot". G-d bless Texas, get on their level.

What a lot of people who say this is pointless don't understand is that Congress is a stage, and impeachment hearings are the show. Even if the Senate refuses to convict - especially if the Senate refuses - the process is a giant megaphone for driving home what is happening and influencing the vote.
Khanna: "There has to be accountability. Do I think impeaching Kristi Noem is going to solve the issue of ICE? No. But it's gonna send a signal that you can't wield power without a check in this country. And that's what we have with ICE agents smashing windows, following people to churches."

Bloomberg Law reporting is about as staid and boring as it gets (complimentary). This is basically the equivalent of the A.P. calling for a coup.
Lawyers can't reach clients in ICE detention. I've heard it anecdotally, but scale of issue is horrifying.

Bloomberg Law is a legal trade pub so many may miss this. Screenshot from their CA newsletter summarizes "bleak" situation for justice and rule of law.

I'm really not able to process the depth of what PBPD had on him in 2005-2006, and how it all just went away.

I've been a licensed attorney for 29 years. I tried more cases than I can count-- huge cases, bet the company cases.

I've never read anything so airtight as this, and it's fucking shameful
I found the first investigative file from the first complainant against Epstein in 2005.

There are descriptions from the officer, over several interviews of the girl, of her pulling her knees up on the chair, drawing doodles, & the officer high-fiving her to keep her calm as she speaks of horror.
