NEW: Statement from Epstein survivor Annie Farmer on Todd Blanche's hearing today: "The Senate must not reward this record of failure, deception, and disregard for survivors. We urge the Senate not to confirm him."

"The success of the US mens national soccer team comes in spite of Trump, not because of him. Half of the roster is made up of dual citizenship holders, foreign-born players, and children of immigrants. Coach Mauricio Pochettino is Argentine. This team is a repudiation of everything Trump stands for and is working towards. It could never exist in the world that Trump has tried to bring about with his brutal immigration crackdowns and isolationist foreign policy. You can’t take credit for the success of the team while simultaneously trying to eliminate the conditions necessary for it to exist."

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

Ellison: "I've never been prouder to be a Minnesotan. I'm so proud of the people who helped their neighbors, who stood up for their First Amendment rights. I hope it's over and now it's a time to heal and put things back together again."

.@BrettFavre With all due respect to one of the greatest QBs ever — I didn’t grow up knowing where the Packers played, what Lambeau Field was, or why people proudly wear cheese on their heads 🧀😄.
I watched. I learned. And now I get it.
That’s how @NFL football works. And honestly, that’s how the Super Bowl halftime show works too. It’s not about only watching what you already know — it’s about discovering what millions of your fellow Americans already love.
Bad Bunny isn’t “foreign” to the Super Bowl — he is America too 🇺🇸🇵🇷🎶. Different sounds, same country, same game.
The Super Bowl is big enough for frozen fields, cheese hats, country music… and Spanish lyrics.
That’s not losing tradition. That’s America showing how big the tent really is. 🏈❤️
And you should try Tembleque, Alcapurrias and Mofongo! Don’t be sad, be happy!

A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan.

It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash.

God took the wrong person from "Home Alone 2." It's really that simple.

[Rep. Betty McCollum @BettyMcCollum04]

The arrests of journalists Georgia Fort and Don Lemon at the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi are a dangerous escalation of attacks on the press by the Trump administration. Our democracy depends on a free press reporting the facts.

[Rep. Dan Goldman @RepDanGoldman]

Journalists arrested on bogus charges; citizens executed in the streets by masked secret police; election offices raided at the direction of an intelligence agency; oil executives notified of a military invasion before Congress. Putin’s America is here.

I’m confident Don will prevail, but make no mistake: the First Amendment is under its greatest threat since our founding.

[Pastor Ben @BenjaminPDixon]

🚨 BREAKING 🚨

ICE agents have taken @ByGeorgiaFort into custody in Minneapolis after having filmed the church protest of the pastor who doubles for an ICE agent.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

[Jonathan Louis Dent @jonathanldent]

That rage you feel is sacred. Honor it.

We’re in the fight of our lives and honestly we have been for some time now.

Don’t allow yourself to go numb. Don’t look away. None of this shit is normal.

“Please get the truth out about our son.”

[Natasha Korecki @natashakorecki]

Mayor Frey makes this point: Yesterday, more than 15,000 people marched the streets of Minneapolis.
"Not a single broken window, not a single injury."
"Conversely, the mass militarized force and unidentified agents who are occupying our streets, that is what weakens our country."

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Minnesotans are leading the way.

Mass resistance to fascism is led on the ground, in community, together.

The many always outnumber the few. ICE will not win, and neither will this corrupt regime.

The WH’s increasingly desperate and erratic behavior shows they know it, too.

[Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith]

To any colleagues who don't see a problem with what ICE is doing in Minnesota: What's it going to take? When is enough, enough?

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Hi everyone -- there is a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow to protest what the Trump administration and DHS are doing to our community. In solidarity with the action, I am going to donate my revenue from tomorrow's newsletter to People over Papers, the Midway-Hamline Diaper Bank, and Every Meal.

Thank you to everyone who is risking their safety and contributing their time and money to protect our neighbors. If you are so inclined, please check out Stand With Minnesota (https://t.co/QGi5fl6asK) to find a way to help.

And no one start any beefs with Will Stancil.
