“Chronic hunger” at American concentration camps reported by USA Today. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Father of six, grabbed in front of his crying children as he was about to take them to school.

ICE has killed someone new.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

NEW: ICE is leasing offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

At least 40 people were killed in the U.S. attack on Venezuela early Saturday, including military personnel and civilians, according to a senior Venezuelan official.

Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Dec 2024 - Costa Rican man crosses into U.S. Feb. 2025 - ICE detains him. He talks to his family daily. June - He disappears. Aug - His family finally finds him detained and in a vegetative state. Sept. - He's air ambluenced home. Oct. 26th - He dies. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.

One very notable potential primary challenger for Hakeem Jeffries is off the board. Chi Ossé, an up and coming city council member, is not running for Congress (per Emily Ngo of Politico NY). @elisa-muyl.bsky.social got this iconic quote from Ossé in our politics issue www.wired.com/story/wired-...

Pregnant women detained by ICE report horrifying treatment: shackling, solitary confinement, no prenatal vitamins, inadequate food. ICE's own directives and regulations require the agency to avoid detention of pregnant people in the first place. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

More video of the tank on Lafayette a short while ago outside 26 Federal Plaza, and federal agents making arrests of counter protesters.

Very cool package I got to work on for the latest @wired.com politics issue w/ @makenakelly.bsky.social & Elisa Muyl (our politics fellow & CUNY grad student who really made this thing shine). Save a tab on some of these names: www.wired.com/story/wired-...

Experts say Gaza’s malnutrition crisis has progressed to a newer, deadlier phase, and the World Health Organization believes one in five children in Gaza are acutely malnourished, with the health effects potentially lasting for generations.

“There’s so much traumatic injury, like blast wounds and broken bones. But they’re not healing, because people don’t have the nutrients to build the collagen necessary to close them. So wounds that are a month, even two months old, still look as fresh as if they had occurred in the last week.”

Attempting to eliminate funding for certain kinds of “woke” studies, the Trump administration erased hundreds of millions of dollars being used for cancer research. www.wired.com/story/how-tr...

Cancer patients are being kicked out of clinical trials that could save their lives because Donald Trump thinks scientific research is too woke.

SCOOP: Elon Musk’s associates at DOGE have begun vacating their headquarters at the General Services Administration in Washington, DC, and they’re leaving behind an apocalyptic scene of toddler play sets, mattresses, and pillows. We got photos. 👇

It looks like a scene out of a zombie movie. But it’s not; it’s the aftermath of DOGE’s wholescale assault on the GSA, and the federal government writ large. DOGE isn’t gone, but as it morphs into its new phase, the children’s toys have been left behind.

NEW by @lmatsakis.bsky.social: Cantor Fitzgerald, a financial services company led by the sons of US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, is betting that Trump’s tariff bills will be struck down in court. The company is buying the rights to potential tariff refunds. www.wired.com/story/cantor...

My first @wired.com piece: I asked over a dozen of the US's largest health insurers whether they would continue to cover currently routine shots for children if the RFK Jr. appointees on the federal vaccine panel were to stop recommending them. Only one said yes: www.wired.com/story/insure...

On that note — @emuyl-wired.bsky.social has her first @wired.com byline today! Really interesting look at the uncertainty in the insurance landscape around what RFK Jr. is doing on child vaccines www.wired.com/story/insure...

This is not good. Health insurers aren’t saying whether they’ll cover vaccines for kids if the CDC stops recommending them. Story by our wonderful WIRED fellow @emuyl-wired.bsky.social: www.wired.com/story/insure...
