ICE is no longer an immigration enforcement agency. It has become Trump’s domestic army.

If my “conservative” colleagues truly believe in small government, they should join us in demanding an end to masked federal agents terrorizing communities across this country.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

This is a clear lesson of history: when hatred against one people is not stopped, others cannot remain indifferent or stand idly by. Aggression and disdain for human life and life of entire nations must never prevail, and such protection of life must be the responsibility not only of the brave but of all humanity.

Today, the world honors the memory of the victims of the Holocaust—millions of innocent children, women, and men. Millions of Jews murdered by the Nazis. Tragically, the indifference of others contributed greatly to this catastrophe. Yet, ultimately, the world united to defeat the Nazis and achieve victory over this evil. On this very day—January 27, 1945—the last prisoners were liberated from Auschwitz, one of the most horrific Nazi concentration camps.

This is exactly how the world must act now. Whenever hatred and war threaten nations, the unity that saves lives is required. Everyone in the world who truly values peace and calm must value them not only for themselves; they must make every effort to ensure that hatred never prevails again, so that anyone who spreads it knows they are destined to lose.

Eternal memory to all victims of the Holocaust!

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Republicans gave ICE a blank check, funding untrained federal agents who've been attacking, detaining, & even killing Americans.

Republicans have talked for years about government overreach—well, here it is.

Now's the time for senators to prove they care about the Constitution.

🚨 HAPPENING NOW: Thousands of students at UCLA have walked out in solidarity with Minnesotans protesting ICE and the killing of Alex Pretti, joining a growing wave of student activism against federal immigration enforcement.

I’m sharing this beautiful and powerful song from @springsteen, that he wrote in dedication to the people of Minneapolis and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Take a listen.

The art of resistance, the voice of artists, well known and every day people all over the world singing, writing, speaking up and out is so inspiring. We the people are alive, empowered, and making a difference with our voices.

My friends: use your voice in whatever way makes sense to you! Poetry, singing, writing, speaking, loving, cooking, painting. Show up in the way that you can. We are all creative beings with a voice. We the united people, of these United States, are rising above. We are showing that we care about our neighbors, our fellow human beings. Have no doubt the people are rising. It’s a beautful thing.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I spoke with the Federal Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz @bundeskanzler.

Germany has been providing us with significant assistance from the very first days of this war. This is a tremendous contribution to saving the lives of Ukrainians and to our ability to defend ourselves against Russian aggression. Friedrich demonstrates true leadership, and I greatly value our coordination. Europe is becoming stronger through our joint steps and Germany’s support for our defense, which is among the largest in Europe in many respects. It is the German Patriot and IRIS-T systems that are protecting a substantial part of our energy infrastructure and our cities. There is also an important energy support package already in place. Every such step makes Ukraine stronger. Thank you for this tangible support!

We discussed further cooperation and agreed on joint work between our countries and partners in Europe next week. I am grateful for Germany’s readiness to assist with the reconstruction of our country as well. We agreed that our teams will work through all the necessary steps.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

We do not need any more evidence.

Trump is lighting democracy on fire — trying to ruin our republic.

Masked men terrorizing communities.

None of this can be normalized.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Sacred Scripture, which is the inspired Word of God, and Sacred Tradition, the living memory of the Church, are intimately bound together. They form the one Deposit of Faith, which helps us navigate the complexities of life to reach our eternal home in Heaven. #GeneralAudience

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

I took to the Senate floor to honor Renee Good and Alex Pretti, two good people who should both be alive today.

Renee leaves behind three children. Her wife said “kindness radiated out of her…she literally sparkled.”

Alex was a VA ICU nurse who cared for our veterans, often in their final hours.

Buttigieg: I think the Trump administration is so far on the back foot that you're seeing two things that are very rare: Donald Trump backing down and JD Vance shutting up.
