  6. On December 31, in the waning hours of 2025, the Washington Post reported on an internal ICE document that concerned the agency’s “wartime recruitment” strategy, or rather its attempt to expeditiously swell its ranks of deportation officers. The memo, according to the Post, had in mind a pool of ideal candidates who lead a “patriotic” lifestyle and have an interest in “military and veterans affairs,” “physical training,” “gun rights organizations,” and “tactical gear brands.”

  7. Minneapolis Proves the Far-Right Isn’t Anti-Tyranny: They’re Anti-the *Wrong* Kind of Tyranny

    What happened to the whole “Don’t Tread on Me” crowd? Did they get some rhetorical flip-flops?

  8. Trump says Alex Pretti “shouldn’t have been carrying a gun.” Pretti was legally armed. Federal agents killed him anyway. Now 2A advocates are warning: alienate gun owners, lose elections. Trump, stop undermining the Constitution and your base. #2A #GunRights #Pretti www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

    ‘WTF’: Pro-gun groups warn vul...

  9. For the record, "#Democrat #politicians defend #SecondAmendment #GunRights from #Republican politicians" has been on my #political bingo-card since the #Obama admin, when I worked with #Gun-toting Democrat candidates and watched Obama expand gun rights as #Republicans pushed to disarm various groups.

    This is not new, it's just way more obvious, which is an opportunity for inroads I have been pushing for my entire adult life.

  10. "It’s clear Trump is setting us up for more violence. Pitting warrantless ICE home entries against Stand Your Ground laws presents another unwanted, unsettled question of law that will only be settled after someone else needlessly dies."

  11. "The right’s pushback on government authority has always been selective and identity-based: white ranchers asserting their property claims, good; diverse groups demanding a correction to racist policing, bad."

  12. "Non-white people, liberals and leftists of all backgrounds, and anyone else who doesn’t fit the frontiersman narratives, have all taken up arms only to be literally cut down by the state, without a single peep from the NRA in defense of people who ought to be, by all rights, their fallen martyrs."

  13. "So when a MAGA maniac touts a rifle in public, that’s merely ‘MURICA being the land of the free and the home of the brave? But if a liberal dares carry a legally-registered concealed firearm – that he never even attempts to ‘brandish’ – that makes him a terrorist?

    Only Donald Trump and his nefarious band of nincompoops could make me want to defend a right to bear arms."

  14. "Yesterday, while walking across the White House lawn on his way to Marine One, the commander in chief informed the press that his feelings on guns had changed.

    Asked about the murder of Alex Pretti at the hands of ICE goons at a Minneapolis protest, the president stated: 'You can’t have guns. You can’t walk in with guns. You just can’t. You can’t walk in with guns. You can’t do that.'”

  15. “'People have to protect themselves,' Donald Trump asserted to a scrum of reporters in the Oval Office just last year. 'I’m a 2nd Amendment person. Very simply, people have to be able to protect themselves… I’m a 2nd Amendment person all the way.'

    The times, dear reader, they are a changin’."

  16. Hey y’all, you ‘member a couple days ago when I said that Guardians of pedophiles were going to start saying that Americans need to give up their #guns, so ICE isn’t scared and murdery?

    Or, ‘member that time when Trump addressed the NRA’s annual conference in Houston in 2022 just days after a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas? #Trump blamed school administrators, not guns, for school shootings, and did a little dance for the audience after he finished speaking.

    Yeah, today he said the #SecondAmendment doesn’t count and people can’t carry guns unless they want to executed.

    But it was the liberals who were gonna take your guns, right Yeehawdists?

  17. Not giving them credit. They set the situation up & now protest? Hell no.

    Prominent #Republicans & #GunRights advocates helped elicit a White House turnabout this week after bristling over the #Trump admin’s characterization of #AlexPretti, the 2nd person murdered this month by a #federal “officer” in #Minneapolis, as responsible for his own death because he lawfully possessed a weapon.

  18. It seems a lot of #MAGA #2A losers didn't know about/never read the #NRA press release 💩🤡

    MAGA: He brought a gun to a protest. FAFO.

    Me: The same NRA that tried to justify school shootings & mass shootings in USA has stated there needs to be an investigation on the deadly shooting of Pretti.

    MAGA: *runs away in silence*

  19. #idiot47 #noem #ICE #GOP #republicans #secondamendment #PrETTI #libertarians #gunrights #MAGAts For all these years, all those gun rights advocates thought that Democrat Presidents would be the ones sending jack-booted thugs for their guns. They almost had it right, but it is a Republican president who is doing it. DEFUND ICE NOW!!! And impeach Kristi Noem.

    Today marks the start of the court’s January argument session. The court will hear seven arguments over the next 10 days on such issues as transgender athletes competing in women’s sports, gun rights, and President Donald Trump’s bid to remove Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors.

    SCOTUS Quick Hits

    • The Supreme Court released an opinion on Friday, but perhaps not the one you were expecting. The 5-4 ruling was in Bowe v. United States, a case on a federal prisoner’s efforts to obtain post-conviction relief. In an opinion from Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the court held that a federal law instructing courts to dismiss a claim presented in a second or successive habeas corpus application does not apply to motions filed by federal prisoners. Justice Neil Gorsuch filed a dissenting opinion, joined in full by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, and in part by Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
    • Also on Friday, the court indicated that it may announce opinions on Wednesday at 10 a.m. EST. SCOTUSblog will be live blogging any opinion announcements beginning at 9:30.
    • Friday afternoon, the court announced that it had granted review in five cases. For more on these disputes, see the On Site section below.
    • This morning, the court is expected to release an order list with denied petitions and other case updates at 9:30 a.m. EST.
    • The justices will hear argument today in Chevron USA Inc. v. Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, on the circumstances in which a federal contractor can transfer a case from state to federal court. Justice Samuel Alito will not participate because he has a financial interest in ConocoPhillips, which is the parent company of one of the defendants.
    • Tomorrow, the justices will hear arguments in Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J., on laws barring transgender athletes from participating on women’s and girls’ sports teams. We will be live blogging the arguments beginning at 9:30 a.m. EST.

    Morning Reads

    • Eyes are on Gorsuch as Supreme Court weighs rights of trans athletes (Julian Mark, The Washington Post)(Paywall) — In 2020, Justice Neil Gorsuch “wrote one of the Supreme Court’s most consequential rulings expanding legal rights for gay and transgender people” in a case on employment discrimination. Now, “Gorsuch is again in the spotlight,” according to The Washington Post, as the court considers two disputes over laws preventing transgender athletes from competing in women’s and girls’ sports. The law’s opponents are drawing on that 2020 ruling as they try to persuade Gorsuch to protect transgender athletes, per the Post, while the law’s supporters argue that “sports is different from the workplace.”
    • Supreme Court, Swamped by Emergencies, Neglects Rest of Docket (Adam Liptak, The New York Times)(Paywall) — The court’s Friday ruling in Bowe v. United States has the distinction of being the first opinion in an argued case to be released this term. The fact that it didn’t arrive until January is notable, because “[o]ver the last 80 years, the Supreme Court has only once before waited until January to issue its first opinion in an argued case,” according to The New York Times. Experts specializing in Supreme Court advocacy told the Times that “a spike in action on the court’s other docket,” where the justices address requests for interim relief, “seems to have diverted the court from its merits docket,” slowing the pace of opinions.
    • These are the books families opted-out of after Supreme Court fight (Talia Richman, The Baltimore Banner) — In a June 27 ruling in Mahmoud v. Taylor, the “Supreme Court sided with a group of parents [in Montgomery County, Maryland] who sought the right to opt-out of lessons that included LGBTQ storybooks,” holding that refusing such opt-out requests violates religious freedom. Since then, according to The Baltimore Banner, “[i]n a district of more than 156,000 students, just 56 families asked Montgomery County school leaders to excuse their child from reading books that conflict with their religious beliefs.” These requests mostly came from “the parents of elementary schoolers” and “generally centered around books with LGBTQ characters, as well as those that included themes of diversity.”
    • Lawsuits by Trump allies could shape how the 2030 census is done and who will be counted (Mike Schneider, Associated Press) — “The next U.S. census is four years away,” but legal battles over it have already begun, according to the Associated Press. “Allies of President Donald Trump are behind the federal lawsuits challenging various aspects of the once-a-decade count by the U.S. Census Bureau,” including the inclusion of noncitizens. “The first Trump administration also attempted to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census questionnaire, a move that was blocked by the U.S. Supreme Court.”
    • Supreme Court Clerk Hiring Watch: Happy New Hires (David Lat, Original Jurisdiction) — In a post for his Substack, David Lat offered an update on Supreme Court clerk hiring and highlighted recent research on the jobs clerks typically have before and after working for a justice. He also highlighted various studies about clerkships, including investigations into what factors contribute to judges becoming feeder judges for the Supreme Court, such as the training they offer their clerks, personal relationships, and ideological compatibility.

    Keep telling me where the hate speech is coming from.

    The GOP only cares about political violence when it happens to them. THEIR rhetoric finally bit THEM on the ass and they STILL KEEP LYING.

  23. 2/ this is what happens when you put a guy whose previous job was podcasting for a chinese money launderer masquerading as a far right "news" organization ("The Epoch Times") in charge of american law enforcement.

    also fwiw strongly suggests that the person who killed charlie kirk was at least pretty sophisticated. 200 meters isn't the hardest shot for a skilled shooter but it's also not something a newbie could pull off.
