In January of this year, I filed multiple FOIA requests for training material. I never received a response other than requests to narrow the scope. No surprise here! I’ll post an update on this tomorrow. Mullin Says ICE Training Going Back to ‘Regular Standards’ www.nytimes.com/2026/06/03/u...

I posted about Section 224 of the FY2027 NDAA & the concern that U.S.-Israel defense support could move from visible foreign aid into Pentagon procurement. Then I pulled the cosponsor list for H.R. 1229 and S. 554 & the Israel lobby donations those lawmakers have received.

"Quieter does not mean smaller." That's the Quincy Institute's conclusion on where U.S.-Israel defense support is heading as the current $38B MOU expires. I broke down what's actually in the NDAA and what the brief is telling us.

Tom Homan says ICE will seek a court order to force-feed hunger strikers at Delaney Hall, a 1,000-bed private detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, run by GEO Group under a $1 billion federal contract. Conditions are escalating today with anti-ICE protestors and MAGA on the ground.

Would Watergate have been fully exposed if a federal source feared losing their job for talking to a journalist? OPM published a draft NDA agencies could require employees to sign. Refuse to sign - risk your job.

The VFW was founded because the U.S. government left veterans with no medical care & no pension after the Spanish-American War. Veterans built their own safety net. DOGE has cut 1.2 million veterans off from their VA providers. Same broken promise, 125 yrs later. The receipts are in this video.

Ashley St. Clair showed Hasan Piker texts from Elon Musk about "space lasers" and the 2024 election. I went and looked up what Starlink satellites actually do. The real receipts on Musk's election influence are much less dramatic. And much more documented. #ashleystclair

The DNC's autopsy says Democrats need trusted messengers and year-round community relationships. Their 2026 playbook says many of the same words. My question: where is the permanent investment to back it up?

Even if 34 states call a constitutional convention and delegates rewrite the entire document, they still need 38 states to ratify it. That includes California, New York, and every blue state in America. The math doesn't work. Here's what the viral video got right, and where the conclusion breaks.

FTC has clear disclosure rules for commercial endorsements. The FEC has rules for political ads. Paid organic political influencer content still sits in the gap between - both parties operated inside that gap in 2024. Here is how the machine works, & what to ask every political creator you follow.

Progressives had 7 primary wins and 3 runoff advances last night. DSA and Working Families Party candidates won seats in PA, KY, and GA. This is the real fight in front of us - and it's one we're winning. Stop watching the squirrels.

AI is not going away. But the infrastructure behind it is being built fast, often before rural communities fully understand the water, power, tax incentive, & public cost. My latest video looks at Meta’s Louisiana data center and what Louisiana gave away to get it. Watch here:

Just ordered my copy of @tyrangiel.bsky.social book! Can’t wait to dig in!

“It’s easy to understand why some people would prefer that AI just go away; no one is in the market for another existential risk. But here’s the thing about defensive crouches: They don’t actually stop anything. They just ensure that you get whacked in the back of the head.”

ICE's environmental review of proposed detention warehouse in Michigan took 30 minutes. I've been in real estate since 2014. Let me tell you what you find in 30 minutes. (Nothing.) Contaminated sites, who profited, & the federal judge who called this crystal-clear noncompliance. youtu.be/EaeyD_zHFK4

Harris's 2024 digital chief just published a lengthy breakdown of everything that went wrong. His core assumption: TikTok funnels users toward content they already like. A peer-reviewed study proves it was feeding Democratic users Republican attack content they never asked for. @thebulwark.com

The housing bill isn't the story. The process that passed it is — and it's the same process behind nearly every major piece of legislation you've heard about in the last decade. I read it. Here's what it shows. #uspolitics

There's a hantavirus cluster on a cruise ship in the Atlantic right now. The WHO says low risk. I'm not here to panic you. But I did go looking at the actual state of our preparedness infrastructure - our relationship with WHO, what's happened to HHS, the proposed 53% CDC cut. #hantavirus

F.D.A. Blocked Publication of Research Finding Covid and Shingles Vaccines Were Safe www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/u...

My homeowners insurance went from about $3,000 to almost $9,000 in five years. Same house. And if you rent, your landlord is passing those costs to you too. Congress introduced a bipartisan bill to study it. I broke down what it does, what it doesn't, and why two years is too long.

This isn't my normal share, but I promise every single word of this worth listening to. #mentalhealth

The AI bubble narrative has flipped. Six months ago, massive infrastructure spending with no clear revenue path looked like classic speculative overreach. Today, driven largely by Claude Code and similar agentic coding tools, actual enterprise adoption and revenue are catching up to the hype fast.

Senate Armed Services Committee. April 28, 2026. Senator Elizabeth Warren, Ranking Member of the Personnel Subcommittee, raised one statistic that should be impossible to ignore: the Department of Defense only requires cognitive assessments for service members every five years.

Iran has been bombing UAE oil infrastructure for months. They're in the same cartel. Today the #UAE quit #OPEC.

The executive order creating the DOJ's AI task force is officially titled "Eliminating State Law Obstruction of National Artificial Intelligence Policy." That is the actual name. Of the actual order. I broke down what it means and what you can do about it.

I'm going to have to stay off social media today. The left's lack of critical thinking skills & the immediate - IT'S A HOAX! - re: the shooting last night is as unbearable as listening to MAGA talk about Hillary's emails. The stupidity is underwhelming & boring & expected.

Last night's WHCD shooting: one confirmed fact on motive, and two sides of the internet that had already decided. The false flag framing from the left and the crisis actor framing from the right are the same argument. And both sides sound absolutely unhinged.

The FBI just requested $166 million and 328 new positions for the Joint Mission Center — the command structure built under NSPM-7. The budget justification says domestic terrorists "use platforms to rally support for in-person actions." Organizing a march is in scope.

Trump already pardoned more than 1,500 January 6th defendants. So why is the DOJ now asking a court to erase the convictions entirely? Because vacating also kills the pending appeals that were about to answer whether this conduct legally qualifies as seditious conspiracy.

Trump's Fed pick is open to cutting policy meetings from 8 a year to 4. Those meetings are where borrowing costs get set and publicly explained. Fewer meetings means fewer answers. I broke it down.

7 Republicans named a bill after the Mayor of New York City. To deport him. The bill is called the MAMDANI Act — and it almost certainly can't survive a court challenge. But that's not the point. The signal is.

A Redditor Criticized ICE. Trump Is Trying to Unmask Them by Dragging the Company to a Secret Grand Jury. theintercept.com/2026/04/10/r...

Over 400 federal judges ruled that ICE detained people illegally- more than 4,400 times. The courts are not silent. New video: I read the HSTF executive orders so you don't have to. Democracy is a verb. Act accordingly.

ICE hired 12,000 new officers. DHS confirmed some started before their full background investigations. A whistleblower testified they cut about 240 total training hours, including constitutional instruction and use-of-force training.

A 1945 British military film about Palestine is going around. The comments are more alarming than the footage. Here are the questions nobody thought to ask.

DHS said there's been "NO spike in deaths" in ICE detention. Capital letters. Their words. The JAMA study says 22-year high. I read 14 of ICE's own death reports. Here's what they stopped telling you.

FEMA is sitting on nearly $10 billion in approved disaster preparedness funding. Spring flooding is here. Hurricane season starts June 1st. Louisiana, Florida, Texas, California. I put state names on what was cut and why it matters right now.

I love when @theatlantic.com trolls this administration. 😂 Pope Vance the First of his name. 😂

42,722 people in ICE detention as of April 4th have no criminal conviction of any kind. That's 70.8%. The data comes from ICE's own numbers, published by TRAC at Syracuse University.

Kamala Harris is thinking about 2028. The DNC is still hiding the report on why she lost 2024. Members yelled at the chair to release it. A billboard outside the New Orleans hotel said: RELEASE THE AUTOPSY.🎥

April 2025, HHS fired the entire FOIA teams at the CDC, FDA, and NIH. The CDC’s office was eliminated. Then a watchdog group filed FOIA requests with DOGE, & DOGE denied them. A federal judge had to order compliance. Meanwhile, 12% of FOIA requests were fully granted last year. Lowest on record.

ICE said, on the record, that congressional visits are scheduled during "lower operational periods." They said they don't alter procedures for visits. Those two things cannot both be true.

$14 MILLION. AIPAC spent that against Democrats in their own Illinois primaries. The DNC met this week and voted not to say a word about it. I looked into what they DID pass. SPOILER ALERT: NOTHING, NADA

Pete Hegseth has a Jerusalem Cross on his chest & "Deus Vult" on his bicep. He wrote a book called "American Crusade." On March 26 he prayed for "overwhelming violence" inside the Pentagon. Since the war began, 200+ troops have reported commanders calling it "God's divine plan." The Pope responded.

Yesterday the world held its breath for twelve hours. I've been reading Timothy Snyder since before Tuesday happened, and I need to tell you what he calls that feeling. Yale historian. Author of On Tyranny. 148 self-coup attempts since 1946. 4 out of 5 succeeded. 🧵

The founder of AIPAC was a registered foreign agent who got tired of the paperwork. When RFK's DOJ ordered registration in November 1962, AIPAC was incorporated six weeks later. The Fulbright hearings found $50 million in hidden foreign money. The receipts go back 70 years. youtu.be/f_EXgeolEqw

Rep. La Shawn Ford of Illinois didn't get AIPAC's super PAC endorsement. The reason he gave publicly: he would not pledge unconditional military aid to Israel. This week the DNC considers a resolution naming AIPAC by name. I read it. 🎬 Democracy is a verb. Act accordingly.

Hegseth fired the Army's top general mid-war with Iran. Same day, he signed an order arming troops on their own bases. I went down the rabbit hole. 14 generals removed in 14 months. Folks on Tik Tok are calling this the beginning of a COUP.
