Democratic leadership need to be waking up every morning with the singular goal of matching the energy of the heroes on the ground in Minnesota.

🚨TENNESSEE Rep. @votegloriaj.bsky.social files a resolution calling on the DOJ to comply with the BIPARTISAN law requiring them to release ALL the Epstein files.

Will the @TNGOP supermajority join? Call your reps. 👀

Good morning friends! Some things to remember when you call your senators today:
1. Renee Good's killer is still at large and has not faced justice
2. Alex Pretti's murderers are still at large, unnamed and still working on our dime.
3. 35 people died in ICE custody last year. 35 shattered families

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article.

Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.
Analysis by The Marshall Project of ICE data obtained by the Deportation Data Project found that the Trump administration’s revival of family detention has swept thousands of children into ICE custody. At least 3,800 children under 18, including 20 infants, have been booked since Trump took office.
ICE Threw Thousands of Kids in Detention, Many For Longer Than Court-Prescribed Limit
Former immigration staffers argue ICE is choosing to detain families for prolonged periods to speed deportations and compel them to leave.

If ice (not ICE) is headed to Texas, bet on Ted Cruz heading out of town. This should be a possible betting on those gambling apps. BetMGM and FanDuel -- DO BETTER.
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was spotted earlier today, January 20, 2026, on a plane heading to Laguna Beach as the state of Texas braces for a rare ice threat and arctic cold front.

Separate from all of the horrors, ICE doesn't pay their bills. Lehigh Co (PA) is evicting them for non-payment of rent. The Marshall Projecct reports they are not paying bills for medical treatment. All this while ICE pays bro paying MAGA & MAGA leaning influencers.

I admit that I gravely underestimated the scope and depth of our president's mental illness. Apologies.

I'm fully confident literary magazines will survive the AI apocalypse. There is no better time to become a creative writer. You already have an inside track because most people have never even heard of these things that can never die. We will be here with the cockroaches and Taco Bell
