holy shit -- turns out Jack Smith went to a Hawkeyes game in Maryland but Schmitt's team is so reckless they concocted a conspiracy theory that Smith was actually in Atlanta seeing a Hawks game and colluding with Fani Willis. Klobuchar points out to Schmitt, "you have your teams wrong."

Democrats should be at the microphone right now noting that this is a Hatch Act violation that they'll be pursuing in January. I don't care that the nation's become numb to this shit. It's still illegal and if Democrats should run against it and then act to crush it.

This woman ran into Zach Lahn at the Iowa State Fair and asked if his kids were excited for school starting. He said his kids already started school, but Iowa students don't start until Monday after the fair. Iowans know that. Schools in Kansas have already started.

The Department of State tweets a video of Secretary Marco Rubio. In the video, Rubio says: "Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Iran had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have a much different country."FactPost News tweets a video of Donald Trump speaking at a podium. In the video he says: "We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things."

In the past, sometimes presidents have said it’s just a military operation or limited airstrikes to skirt Congress. Trump has unilaterally launched major combat operations, declaring war with the goal of regime change. A major violation of the U.S. Constitution, also illegal under international law

This is preying on my mind a bit. Jeffrey Epstein was not primarily a British scandal! So far we've removed a Prince from the Royal family, fired our US ambassador who was one of the most important political figures of the last few decades and banned the CEO of Barclays from the financial industry..

BREAKING: Federal judge orders Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R., released. "The Great Writ and release from detention are GRANTED." "Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster."
FILED
January 31, 2026
CLERK, U.S. DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
Jaemie Herndon
DEPUTY
ADRIAN CONEJO ARIAS, and
L.C.R., a Minor Child by and through His Parent and Guardian Adrian Conejo Arias,
Petitioners,
VS.
KRISTI NOEM, in Her Official Capacity as Secretary of the United States Department of Homeland Security; PAMELA BONDI, in Her Official Capacity as Attorney General of the United States; TODD LYONS, in His Official Capacity as Acting Director, United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement;
DAREN MARGOLIN, in His Official Capacity as Acting Director of the Executive Office of Immigration Review; and JOHN DOE, in His Official Capacity as the Warden of the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Dilley, Texas,
Respondents.
CIVIL CASE NO. SA-26-CV-415-FB
§
OPINION AND ORDER OF THE COURTCivics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster. That is called the fox guarding the henhouse. The
Constitution requires an independent judicial officer.
Accordingly, the Court finds that the Constitution of these United States trumps this
administration's detention of petitioner Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R. The Great Writ
and release from detention are GRANTED pursuant to the attached Judgment.
Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled
power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And
the rule of law be damned.Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to
their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more
orderly and humane policy than currently in place.
Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you
can keep it."
With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike,
It is so ORDERED.
