White House stands by State Department nominee who complains that "white Americans are increasingly second-class citizens," warns of "white erasure" and says "the Jews love to see themselves as oppressed." @camcgrady.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: “I was literally begging the agent who was holding me back to let me do CPR,” she told The Intercept.

"'She is dead,'" Officer Auderer told Officer Solan, before bursting out laughing. "'No, it’s a regular person,' Officer Auderer said, adding: 'Yeah, just write a check — $11,000. She was 26, anyway. She had limited value.'"

Free agent forward Jeremy Sochan plans to sign with the New York Knicks after he clears waivers, his agent Deirunas Visockas of Gersh Sports tells ESPN. Sochan had 10 interested suitors after being released from the Spurs on Thursday and landed on the Knicks as his new team.

This is important. The head of CBP says here that his agency did NOT provide the assessment that led DHS to label Alex Pretti a terrorist looking to inflict mass casualties. That appears to contradict Stephen Miller's claim that the initial assessment was based on CBP reports:

Breaking this down by year, job growth in 2024 was revised down by more than a quarter (-553k jobs), and 2025 was revised down by close to 70% (-403k jobs). 2025 was the weakest year for job growth since the pandemic, and before that since the Great Recession.

A few charts on these benchmark revisions. Starting with the big picture: These revisions dramatically lower the rate of job growth over the past two years. In total, payroll employment is more than 1 million jobs lower than previously reported. #NumbersDay

Four months after the raid, federal prosecutors have not filed criminal charges against anyone who was arrested. Nearly all of the immigrants have already been deported. We’ve interviewed 15 immigrants detained that night; all denied gang membership.

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

We reviewed more than 100 Minnesota license plates attached to immigration enforcement vehicles in recent weeks. We found that nearly 60% were not registered with the state of Minnesota, including the Chevy Tahoe that federal agent Jonathan Ross traveled in the day he fatally shot Renee Good.

White House press corps, I know some of you are shy, so let me help you get started. This isn't fifty questions--I could only fit twenty-one in alt text--but let me know if you need more!

A note from our editors:

This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate. Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards. With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43. Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Asked about Minneapolis, Victor Wembanyama says, “PR has tried, but I’m not going to sit here and be politically correct.” Then says “it’s crazy that people make it seem like … the murder of civilians is acceptable.”

NEW: Remember when we reported that a Chicago ICE facility accused of human rights abuses said they "lost" two weeks of surveillance footage? Turns out, they never actually recorded anything. This is in response to a class action lawsuit where detainees say they were held in subhuman conditions.

The Border Patrol agent in Chicago who shot Marimar Martinez five times “was back at work within, I think, three days of the incident in our case,” her lawyer told me. www.huffpost.com/entry/marima...

DHS is using explosives on people’s homes??? “Bovino has often used the phrase “turn and burn” to describe Border Patrol operations, a reference to actions like smashing windshields, using explosives to blow down the doors of homes and engaging in car chases.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/u...

Right now, ‘nothing feels right’ in Minneapolis. An NBA basketball game is no exception www.nytimes.com/athletic/699...

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."
