"Republican billionaires are going to have difficulty buying another election, if ICE continues its campaign of terror & murder.

Please tone it down so we can continue destroying democracy & frying the planet, says Koch Network shill Wall Street Journal."

The Dark Money Behind Campus Speech Wars | The Nation

Speech First has ties to the billionaire Koch brothers and high-profile conservative causes. But the campus culture wars won’t be won in the courts: You can’t litigate students into changing their minds.

":The DC insider press is full of stories this morning about Congressional Republicans frustrated/worried/panicky about the incredible mess their madman-in-chief has made of things."

"The Senate and the White House are suddenly in the middle of the most serious political crisis of.....Trump’s second term"

Everyone needs to be calling Congress today - they need to hear from us. Loud and proud!

^{Simon Rosenberg (Hopium Chronicles By Simon Rosenberg)}

"Calls for an investigation have come from across the political spectrum after video analysis showed officers had removed a handgun from Pretti that he was reportedly permitted to carry – and which he was not handling – before fatally shooting him on Saturday. Trump officials, meanwhile, are continuing to lie about what happened."

First Thing: Obamas call Alex Pretti’s killing a ‘tragedy’ as pressure mounts for full investigation

Barack and Michelle Obama say killing should be ‘wake-up call’ and accuse federal agents of not operating in lawful way. Plus, meet the OB-GYNs fighting Trump’s ‘guerrilla war on science’

^{Nicola Slawson (The Guardian)}

"Fox’s Bill Melugin, one of the administration’s favorite reporters, wrote, 'I’m told there is extreme frustration with DHS officials going on TV and putting out statements claiming that Alex Pretti was intending to conduct a "massacre" of federal agents or wanted to carry out "maximum damage," even after numerous videos appeared to show those claims were inaccurate.'”

Honor Pretti and Good. End the Occupation.

Now is the time to think big and be bold.

^{William Kristol (The Bulwark)}

"Multiple federal immigration enforcement sources, including senior officials, told Fox News that DHS has damaged its credibility and internal morale by publicly exaggerating claims that Alex Pretti intended a 'massacre,' despite video evidence showing he never drew his weapon."

Major Update: Trump Administration Begins to Throw Kristi Noem Under the Bus as Narrative Completely Falls Apart

Good evening.

^{Aaron Parnas (The Parnas Perspective)}

"Those same sources told Fox there is no indication he meant to kill agents and believe the shooting will likely be deemed a 'bad shoot' driven by split-second decisions in a chaotic moment. Several described DHS’s messaging as a disaster for crisis management that has worsened the situation, eroded trust, and cost the agency support, even as they continue to back the administration’s broader immigration agenda."

Plenty of Republicans are deeply uncomfortable about what happened on Saturday, and not just the awful incident itself but the administration’s immediate reaction.

"The NRA waded into the national dialogue over Pretti’s killing after Bill Essayli – who was appointed by Trump to temporarily serve as a US attorney in California in 2025 – posted on social media: 'If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you.'”

NRA and pro-gun groups call for ‘full investigation’ into killing of Alex Pretti

Groups typically aligned with Trump call for investigation as NRA wades into the national dialogue

^{Michael Sainato (The Guardian)}

"In response, the NRA posted: 'This sentiment … is dangerous and wrong. Responsible public voices should be awaiting a full investigation, not making generalizations and demonizing law-abiding citizens.'

Gun Owners of America, a non-profit lobbying organization, also criticized that claim from Essayli – who is now an acting first assistant US attorney for California’s central federal district court."

"The NRA and pro-gun groups are joining the chorus calling for a full investigation of the killing of Alex Pretti—a stance that is at odds with the administration’s 'blame Alex Pretti for his own execution' narrative."

"Republican Chris Madel made a stunning exit from the Minnesota governor’s race on Jan. 26, saying he cannot support the national GOP’s
'stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.'”

My Discussion With Jen Rubin And Norm Eisen

Greetings all.

^{Simon Rosenberg (Hopium Chronicles By Simon Rosenberg)}

"Things have gotten very ugly for Donald Trump over the past 24 hours. This weekend was a breaking point for so many Americans after yet another American was murdered by the Trump regime. His name was Alex Pretti. They killed him in cold blood. Then they lied about it. Over. And over. And over again."

Monday Afternoon News Updates as Fallout Grows over Trump Regime's Latest Murder — 1/26/26

Trump is now scrambling for an off-ramp...

^{Ben Meiselas (Meidas+)}

"Even many of the regime’s staunchest defenders know that what transpired over the weekend was unforgivable, and the way the regime handled the situation made things even worse. To give you a sense of what I’m referring to, even Texas Governor Greg Abbott said earlier that ICE needs to 'recalibrate' its mission after this weekend’s shooting."

"Our researchers have been watching Fox, and even they are struggling to defend what took place, with some of their hosts openly showing their disdain for the regime’s narrative."

The insurmountable challenge for them as they lie: there are multiple videos. And they know we all can see them if we wish, and they flatly contradict the lies we're being told.

Is Trump About To TACO On His Minnesota Invasion?

Sounds like could be, here's hoping!

^{Marcie Jones (Wonkette)}

"He dropped out of the race, AND out of being a Republican entirely, saying that even though he had been on board with the deportations and making words about FRAUD, he could no longer support the national GOP’s 'stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.'”

"Madel is finding out where the MAGA money is coming from..."

Become a top GOP candidate and you can no longer play the disingenuous game of "Hear no evil, See no evil, Speak no evil" with your campaign financing.

The "follow the money" investigations will only escalate.

Deliberate blindness won't shield these thugs or their donors.
