The Washington Post reported that James McCrery III, the first architect of the White House ballroom, resigned after repeatedly warning that Trump was demanding designs that violated fire and safety codes. Trump rejected the architect’s concerns, saying flippantly: “I am the code.”
I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Mkay. Here's the problem. People keep thinking he can't be held accountable. Practically, yes it's very difficult at the moment. But it won't be that way for ever. Trump is not immortal, the American people have a patience limit, and eventually something WILL give. Do not lose hope. Or we lose.

CBP/ICE, along with the Texas Highway Patrol, opened fire on a car in Laredo on January 31, 2026, while attempting to abduct the driver.
BREAKING: A federal judge just ordered the release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father from immigration custody — condemning their removal from Minneapolis as unconstitutional. Judge Fred Biery condemned "the perfidious lust for unbridled power" and "the imposition of cruelty."

There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back. There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back. The debate about what Alex Pretti did or didn’t do is irrelevant. The agents committed murder. It wasn’t a “bad shoot”. It was a killing

Lost my income. Might lose my home... No transportation... Cut off by the family. Maybe like, 2 friends. Wow, life... I literally did nothing to deserve all this bad karma... If things are just going to keep going down hill... ... I miss my dog...
Democrats' demand that Stephen Miller is fired as a condition of voting for ICE funding is one of the smartest moves they've made under Trump. Miller is a loathsome figure who I imagine has rock-bottom likability numbers. Democrats should try to raise his public salience as often as possible.
Knowledge is power. That power is useless without the wisdom to know how to wield it. And it doesn't matter how much power you gather, or gain. What matters is what you do with the power that you have.
