The Trump administration said it is ending its deployment of immigration agents to Minnesota. They’re framing it as Minnesota agreeing to cooperate, but most of their statements are false. It’s Minnesotans standing firm and refusing to back down. The resistance only grows. Minnesota strong 💪
US border czar says immigration crackdown in Minnesota will ‘conclude’
Tom Homan says that Trump has backed ‘significant drawdown’ in the state, where two US citizens have died

Looks like the MAGA plan to overturn the DC tax code missed its statutory deadline. cc @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social
There’s a case to be made that today (Feb. 11) marks the *30th day* of the congressional review period for the D.C. Income and Franchise Tax Conformity and Revision Temporary Amendment Act of 2025, which means it becomes law effective Feb. 12 (regardless of how the Senate votes)
The Senate voted 51-46 this evening to proceed to a final vote on H.J. Res. 142 tomorrow, so it looks like the Senate is on track to pass this disapproval resolution, sending it to President Trump’s desk to be signed into law later this month.
What a travesty.
