James Talarico: No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes.
The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. We are all focused on the wrong 1%.

We also still don't have any text of the final repeal from EPA. That actual text of the repeal will be critically important in terms of how lawsuits challenging the repeal shake out.

Name names. Marty Makary, Vinay Prasad, Jay Bhattacharya, Tracy Beth Hoeg, Martin Kulldorff, Russell Vought, RFK Jr., Donald Trump. All of them contributed to this by their relentless attacks on vaccines and biomedical R&D.

The “Where are the protests?” lament after Trump’s inauguration was always based on a (willful) misperception – a myth propagated by a punditry vying for relevance, hellbent on presenting grandiose reckonings and sweeping narratives rather than careful empirical assessments.
Overall, we have tallied 4x more protests through Jan 31, 2026 than we had through Jan 31, 2018

I will be down at the Stonewall Monument today where political leaders and activists will be defiantly raising the Pride flag again at 4pm.
I will be there with my SiriusXM program, live on the air, interviewing folks there, including protesters, activists, and political leaders.

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational
Homan: "Operation Metro Surge is ending. In the next week, we're going to deploy the officers here on detail back to their home stations or to other areas of the country where they're needed."

Has any political story under-performed as much as Trump's conviction on 34 felonies?
On paper, that's a Top 3 story in American political history. Instead, I bet a majority of voters would say it's not true.

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.

He got out after 3 months in an ICE gulag.
My electrician is a green card holder who's been here since he was a kid. He got married to a citizen, applied for citizenship, went to court for the papers and when he got there ICE kidnapped him and he's been locked up for a month.

America Won’t Be Easily Forgiven—Even After Trump Is Gone
The president’s belligerence against Greenland and Canada was no joke to Europeans and Canadians, some of whom say they’ll never trust or visit the U.S. again.
