The mayor of New York City had to phone the President of the United States to have one of his constituents released from being held hostage after being kidnapped by the U.S. government. The U.S. is taking hostages who are having to have their freedom negotiated. Ponder that.

NEW: The Trump administration is seeking to delay court proceedings over whether it must refund importers billions of dollars in tariffs recently struck down by the US Supreme Court, marking a contentious start to the next phase of the legal fight buff.ly/BlR1UUK Filing: buff.ly/lYXrrE4

As Shakespeare wrote centuries ago, since guilty people insistently and repeatedly avowing their innocence to others is a very well-known phenomenon throughout human history… “The Pedofelon doth protest too much, methinks.” It’s time to disassemble the Epstein class. Snip, Snip, Snip…

Can we deport ICE? Citizens seem to be fair game and I’m a firm believer of treat people the way you want to be treated. They showed us how they want to be treated, I think it’s only fair we oblige.

Holy shit I was right and I don't like that I was right. This is really not good at all. They wanted to let fully autonomous drones use their AI here. Oh my god that's uhhh. Hm.

Thirteen measles cases have been reported at an immigration detention center in El Paso according to state and federal officials.

Khanna: I think that there was some sexism in the way Secretary Clinton was treated. She was treated worse than President Clinton was treated.

R.I.P. Neil Sedaka, a pianist and songwriter who toiled in the famous Brill Building in New York City and crafted a string of hits beginning in the late 1950s. Sad to see him go.

🚨BREAKING: Pro-voting groups sued Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) for refusing to turn over key records related to his office’s sweeping 2025 voter roll purge — a purge that canceled nearly 471,000 registrations, about 6% of the state’s voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

If Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, who were NOT mentioned over a million times in the Epstein files, can testify before Congress about Jeffrey Epstein, then so can Donald J. Trump, who was.

This is a type of ICE "ruse," and is a tactic the agency has deployed for decades. In 2015, ICE went to my former client's house posing as cops and convinced his 16-year-old US citizen niece to call him home from work with a fake story (the "identity theft ruse" explained below), then arrested him.

Forbes calls Trump's first year back in office "the most lucrative" of his life. CREW already found over 3,700 conflicts of interest between the Trump Organization and the presidency during his first term—and his second term is even more outrageous.

Well, WOW 🤦‍♀️

NEW: We obtained 911 audio from the Texas detention center housing hundreds of immigrant kids and their parents. Since mid-September, EMS crews have been dispatched to Dilley at least 11 times to treat children in medical distress. Burning fevers. Low oxygen. Seizures. A broken leg. My report:

These are the kinds of stories that need to get to the people who think ICE is simply being too aggressive right now, but is generally fine

Miles Taylor spoke to me about Trump telling him in first term: “If you go to jail, I will pardon you.” That was the moment he realized he needed to quit the administration. Full interview here: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/miles-tayl...

Eight officials in the Bureau of Prisons face civil contempt charges after they made a stunning threat to a trans inmate who is suing President Donald Trump's administration.

CPJ and @freepress.bsky.social led a coalition of organizations in a joint statement calling for journalist Mario Guevara’s immediate release from ICE custody after 100 days in detention since his arrest.

"Paramount/Warner Bros is not a done deal," said California AG Rob Bonta last night. But he'll have to act fast, as Paramount's merger shepherds want to rapidly close the merger and commingle assets before states have a chance to challenge it. Up-to-the minute news on this terrible merger, from me:

GM Beautiful World

Seems important

Trump’s billionaire allies will now own CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets. They also control X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch. This is all by design to manipulate and surveil us. Pay attention.

Pathetic and dangerous.

Valid point! There is so much bullshit they are throwing around, it seems impossible to keep up. But this supposed “draft executive order”…. Hope the lawyers are working on the lawsuits to file the minute 🍊💩 signs it.

Pretty sure they brought in the wrong First Lady to testify...🤔😏

Trump says this is not happening. Which is why he spent his State of the Union speech honoring sports teams and awarding military medals.

Good morning. As you begin this new day, take a gentle pause and look around—there is always something beautiful to appreciate and someone to be thankful for. May this reminder fill your heart with gratitude and light, no matter what the day holds. #Jaye’sMorningLight

good story from the sun-time about the consequences of criminal charges—even if those charges are later dropped. wish they would apply the same logic more generally to people facing things like gun charges, which get dropped all the time bc they’re bogus/illegal.

win elections with this one weird trick* *convince voters youre going to fight for them

This is one of the reasons why generational change matters. Cost of housing + childcare (and how one affects the other!) when you're in your 20s/30s/40s are not abstract problems for someone else. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/27/m...
