BONDI: You didn't ask Merrick Garland anything about Epstein

BALINT: Weak sauce

BONDI: And with this antisemitic culture right now, she voted against a resolution--

BALINT: You want to go there! Really? Talking about antisemitism to a woman who lost her grandfather in the Holocaust! *storms off*

Rep. Balint, granddaughter of a Holocaust victim, walked out after Pam Bondi’s disgusting suggestion that Balint was antisemitic. Bondi’s reaction: SHE LAUGHED.

Rep. Becca Balint's grandfather died in the Nazis' Mauthausen concentration camp.
Pam Bondi just suggested Balint was antisemitic.

🎈Nena was a prophet 👀

Earlier this week, the anti-drone technology was launched near the southern border to shoot down what appeared to be foreign drones. The flying material turned out to be a party balloon, sources said. One balloon was shot down, several sources said.

Hey did you guys stop presidential approval polling because you've been captured by an authoritarian regime?

Pollsters: No, it's because.... thought leadership

If you’re not hiding contraband in your children’s underpants, what do you have to hide from our Epstein agents?

You definitely don’t need to show ID before you get on a train.

I’ve actually flown without a license before* and you can fly if you have some other proof that it’s your ticket (like a credit card) and get patted down.
Markwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."

*cop pulled me over as I was returning a rental car; he claimed I had made an illegal turn around him (I hadn’t seen him). Didn’t have cash to pay fine so he took my license. This was in 2017, I think it’s illegal now

Not gonna reply to every comment but yes; it felt like a scam, I checked the cop's plate (Romulus, MI) while he was running my ID and got his badge number (all real), he refused to just send me a ticket I could pay later, and my mind was focused on not missing my flight.

Claudia Sahm: Good news in January, but the downward revisions are huge. More than a million fewer jobs than previously estimated by the end of 2025. And four months last year with outright declines in payrolls.

Sadly, this is why Democratic leaders needed to act when the iron was hot — to lead, get out on the streets, and mobilize public opinion.

It may now be that their moment has passed and the public has moved on. If so, what a shame; what a lost opportunity.
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.

It’s also why we were warning a CR for DHS that kicked the can down the road was a mistake.

Ten days ago the country was paying attention and mobilized.

The time was then to shut down a big swath of the government unless R’s agreed to claw back the ICE budget.

Yes. What’s ironic is that Stancil was one of the loudest voices saying we needed to act quickly after Jan 6.

Not sure if this is the case but holy shit was it the case with Jan 6 when EVERYONE agreed it was one of the worst things Ever and then Dems… let millions of people just lose interest in a matter of weeks

We might not have gotten a complete clawback of ICE funding. But we could have gotten concessions.

Separating the DHS bill also had some advantages, but the danger was always the public would move on.

Right. This is why a loud and effective political opposition is so useful.

Our job is to get louder. Theirs is to support, if not to lead.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

To add to this, this is also why the one-sided calls for citizens to merely record, to be passive, to obey, to not pit the state against the federal government in a legible way was a terrible decision.

The only thing I've seen the MN National Guard do, from MA, is give pizza to protestors.
