The Election Cookbook (feat. John Fugelsang)
The Daily Beans
ICE Violence and Public Backlash
They discuss public disgust toward ICE tactics and mass deportation plans, noting local resistance to detention sites.
Friday, February 6th, 2026
Today, Senate Democrats publish their list of demands to fund DHS and the Sanders Amendment isn’t on it; Tulsi Gabbard investigated Maduro for election interference in Puerto Rico last year; a top Minnesota prosecutor says the overwhelming number of ICE cases is causing other matters to slip through the cracks; Congress has received a copy of the whistleblower report about Tulsi Gabbard but it’s heavily redacted; a leader of the Paul Weiss firm has resigned after appearing in the Epstein Files; a judge rules that ICE can’t make warrantless arrests in Oregon; and Allison and Dana deliver your Good News.
