Supreme Court refuses to block California’s
Democratic-friendly map
Posted By: Dreadnought, 2/4/2026 4:57:26 PM
The Supreme Court on Wednesday cleared the way for California to use its new congressional map that adds up to five Democratic-leaning seats for the midterms, rejecting Republicans’ emergency bid to block it. Supported by the Trump administration, the California GOP has challenged the map as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. They point to the mapmaker’s comments boasting about strengthened Latino voting power under the new design.

President Donald Trump’s lawyers scored big on Friday when a Texas-based appeals court allowed officials to hold arrested migrants in detention so their migration cases can be quickly decided.
“ENORMOUS Immigration win for President Trump,” said Eric Wessen, the Solicitor General in Iowa’s Attorney General’s Office. He added:
The Fifth Circuit, the first federal court to address President Trump’s expedited removal efforts, sides with the administration. Illegal aliens may be detained and removed!
The 2:1 decision “is a big deal,” said Ilya Shapiro, a lawyer at the Manhattan Institute.

One of the most important things a Republican president can do when they take office is to immediately set out to fulfill important campaign promises, to show the voters who elected them that they meant what they said. This is something Donald Trump did very early on at the start of the 47 era with the implementation of his immigration enforcement agenda.
We're a little over a year into his second term in office, and even Trump's staunchest critics would have to agree that the southern border is 100x more secure now than it was when Joe Biden left office. Further, our streets are safer thanks to the immigration enforcement agents
The Left is beginning to panic about Tulsi Gabbard's investigation into the massive election fraud in 2020.
They have good reason to. For the first time since then, I actually have hope that the fraud will be exposed for all to see. I would say that the evidence produced will be undeniable, but the left will always deny what they find inconvenient. But still, by the time Gabbard is done, a lot more people will believe what has been pretty obvious for a long time:
Police Finally Make Arrests in Minneapolis

It looks like things have taken a turn for the better in Minneapolis. Last night, local police did some actual policing. They made arrests of some of the activists hounding ICE and they declared an unlawful assembly at one point.
These are things they should have been doing all along but Mayor Frey had pulled them back putting the protesters directly in confrontation with the activists. Now it appears that that Tom Homan, who Trump sent to Minneapolis a few days ago. It looks like Homan and Gov. Walz might have worked out some kind of deal.
U.S. stocks surged on Feb. 6 in a stunning turnaround that saw the blue-chip Dow soar more than 1,200 points to pierce and close above the 50,000 mark for the first time ever.
"The Dow reaching 50,000 is less about celebration and more about confirmation," said Gina Bolvin, president of Bolvin Wealth Management Group, in an email. "Markets have adjusted to higher rates, slower growth, and global uncertainty—and still moved higher. That tells us confidence is real, and 2026 will be less about the (Federal Reserve) and more about fundamentals."
After steep losses earlier in the week, investors decided that the sell-off was overdone and returned to the market. A jump

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has made a move to secure the deliberations, private discussions, and working drafts of the court. According to the New York Times, Roberts is requiring all clerks and permanent staff to sign a non-disclosure agreement. The writer writes about this in a hushed tone, as though she is laying out the plot of a murder mystery. But there is nothing mysterious about the erosion of the court's integrity, which points directly to publications like the NYT and POLITICO happily disseminating what is leaked to them. The chief justice acted after a series of unusual leaks
Who watches the “ICE watchers”?

In yesterday afternoon’s Wall Street Journal Best of the Web column, James Freeman asks the question: “Who watches the ‘ICE watchers’?” The answer to Freeman’s question is Christina Buttons/City Journal. Another answer to the question is not the Star Tribune. That much I can tell you.
I’m afraid Freeman would include the Star Tribune publisher, editors, reporters, and columnists among “the incurious media” to which he refers at the top of his column. That does not do justice to the phenomenon.
Ms. Buttons reports on what she found watching the ICE watchers

Tennessee has roughly 186,000 illegal aliens. California has over 2.2 million.
We have absolutely no idea how many Californians are murdered, raped, assaulted, or victimized by illegal aliens, because Gov. Gavin Newsom refuses to track the data or share it with the federal government. It’s allowed Democrats to argue that illegal aliens are less likely to commit crimes than native-born Americans.
Only it’s probably not true.
Because, unlike California, Tennessee actually tracked its year-to-year illegal alien crime statistics. And what they discovered was shocking and appalling.
From the Chattanoogan.com:
21,648 total criminal charges [against illegal aliens] in 2025
2,183 violent offenses
41 homicides
1,592 assaults
145 sexual offenses
11 child rapes
The Trump administration is pulling 700 federal agents out of Minnesota, White House border czar Tom Homan announced Wednesday, just over a week after he arrived in the Twin Cities to overhaul an immigration enforcement operation that was facing massive public backlash.
An “unprecedented” number of counties have begun informing Immigration and Customs Enforcement when they have an immigration target in custody, allowing ICE agents to collect the individual in the safety of the jail rather than on the street, Homan said. That change, which Homan said was facilitated by Minnesota’s Democratic leaders, will allow ICE to reduce its footprint by nearly 20 percent “effective immediately.”

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed into law a massive funding package to end the brief government shutdown that began Saturday. The bill passed the House earlier Tuesday on a vote of 217-214, after passing the Senate last week. The legislation will ensure full-year funding for the federal government through the end of September, with the lone exception of the Department of Homeland Security, which is put on a two-week leash as Democrats insist on changes after federal agents fatally shot two Americans in Minneapolis.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) released new guidance on Tuesday cautioning physicians against performing gender-transition surgeries on minors, marking a significant breakthrough for critics of the procedures who have long called on major medical associations to be transparent about the harms associated with medicalizing gender dysphoric children.
The new ASPS guidance acknowledges that there is insufficient evidence to prove that irreversible gender-related surgical interventions have longterm benefits for adolescents and therefore recommends that surgeons delay

Friday on MS NOW’s “The Weeknight,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) argued Republicans would vote for her in the general election for U.S. Senate.
Co-host Michael Steele said, “Do you think Republicans, when you get to a general election, can be convinced that you are the representative they need in Washington?”
Crockett said, “Oh, absolutely. Now, Michael, you can maybe talk about this a little bit more because I think the Democrats have a perception of what Republicans want. And I think that, you know, what the real is. I think that Republicans aren’t looking for somebody that is Republican lite. They can just go and get the real thing.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is using his Muslim faith to justify his views on immigration enforcement and wants America to follow suit.
Mamdani held a press conference on Friday to speak about ICE and immigration policy in the United States. As TGP readers know, Madani has vowed not to cooperate with the Trump Administration on getting rid of criminal illegal aliens in the Big Apple.
At one point in the press conference, Mamdani cited Islam to push an open borders agenda. He claimed Islam was built on a narrative of migration and noted that Muhammad was once a stranger too.
Minnesota's ICE surge is leaving many with strong feelings of fear and anxiety. Many in the community and mental health experts are finding ways of handling it. "I mean, my last six therapy sessions have been basically all talking about this," said Nate P. (Snip) Fear and uncertainty are taking a toll on the community, with many unsure of how to cope. Mental health concerns are on the rise as immigration enforcement plays out in Minnesota and across the country.

A Washington state mother captured on video the moment she confronted her 16-year-old son, who ditched class to join an anti-ICE protest, and his refusal to get into her vehicle, claiming that the protest was school-sanctioned.
The video, which has gone viral on social media, shows the frustrated mom, Rachel, pulling up to the protest site and ordering her son to get in the car, only for him to refuse, insisting it’s his “right” because the school permitted it.
In the footage, the mother can be heard saying, “You’re not skipping school for this (expletive). Get in the car.”
Her son retorts, “No, it is my right,” before walking away.

A bombshell new report from ISGAP Action, a nonpartisan organization focused on combating antisemitism, is putting Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) in a glaring spotlight, accusing the congresswoman of maintaining a disturbing pattern of ties to individuals and organizations linked to U.S.-designated terrorist groups.
Groups such as Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
Go ahead and color me shocked. RedState readers, of course, will recognize Tlaib as a lawmaker nearly unmatched in her willingness to side with terrorist organizations in nearly every scenario.
The ISGAP briefing details everything, from her campaign shelling out nearly $600,000 to a consulting firm run by an activist

The generation born between 1997 and 2010 is the very first generation who did worse in school than the generation before them, according to a top neuroscientist.
And shockingly, they are proud of it.
“They’re the first generation in modern history to score lower on standardized academic tests than the one before it,” Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, 43, told The Post. “And to make matters worse, most of these young people are overconfident about how smart they are. The smarter people think they are, the dumber they actually are. “They underperformed on basically every cognitive measure, from basic attention, memory, literacy, numeracy, executive function and general IQ.”
Mike Pence is siding with wealthy donors over victims of the East Palestine, Ohio, rail disaster, earning a cacophony of outrage from conservatives and prominent MAGA voices.
Pence, who like Democrats reflexively opposes Trump on issue after issue as he woos establishment corporate donors to enrich himself through his non-profit and stake a claim in the narrowing establishment lane for the 2028 Republican nomination, is fighting a bill first championed by then-Ohio Sen. JD Vance — and Pence’s likely 2028 primary opponent — to implement safety regulations for trains carrying hazardous materials.
Those regulations could have prevented the toxic spill that upended the lives of thousands in the East Palestine area
Removing adolescents' healthy body parts under the guise of treating gender dysphoria could soon become a "thing of the past" as doctors reckon with the reality of financial penalties.

Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley brushed off a question Wednesday about how her wealth jumped to as much as $8 million after initially entering Congress with a negative net worth.
Pressley entered Congress after upsetting incumbent Democrat Rep. Michael Capuano of Massachusetts in a 2018 primary election, according to Ballotpedia, and her initial financial disclosure led some to conclude her net worth was in the negatives. Fox Business reporter Chad Pergram questioned Pressley after her financial disclosure for 2024 indicated a net worth of as much as $8 million, due to multiple rental properties in Massachusetts and Ft.

Over 60 percent of illegal immigrant-led households and 51 percent of legal immigrant-led households received some sort of welfare benefits in 2024, compared with just 37 percent of natural-born citizen households taking taxpayer benefits, according to a new report from the Center for Immigration studies. (snip) The Center for Immigration Studies explained that, even in states that do not explicitly provide benefits to illegal immigrants, their households may receive such benefits if they have U.S.-born children.
