🚨NEW: Declarations filed in the lawsuit against the rushed attempt to deport 600 Guatemalan children reveals the chaotic way the Trump admin carried out the operation. Children were taken out of bed after midnight to be rushed onto planes. One girl "was so scared she vomited."

Reporter: Mr. President, do you still think Jerome Powell is a numbskull? Trump: *walks away*

Masked US Regime Officers Arrest Opposition Official After He Asked To See Warrant

As foreign policy talks continue to swirl around Israel's war against Iran, UN leaders are warning of the civilian toll that's already begun in both countries ― and stressing that the conflict must not lead the world to forget about Gaza's destruction.

to be clear, research shows “nonlethal” tools are not safe—and can be deadly

"Gaza’s blood banks [are] almost empty...because of the extreme malnutrition most Palestinians face, prospective donors [are] already anemic. So medical staff began giving blood themselves—at least those who were not yet malnourished" @sanjanakaranth.huffpost.com: www.huffpost.com/entry/blood-...

wow -- @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com chokes up while talking about how the Trump administration is killing kids who relied on USAID to get life-saving medicine

"HuffPost heard from > a dozen health care workers 'They cannot heal people without supplies+medicines. And no matter how skilled they are in caring for the horrific wounds caused by bombs, the human body cannot heal without food'" Vital @sanjanakaranth.huffpost.com: www.huffpost.com/entry/childr...

NEW: As Israel continues to block lifesaving food and humanitarian aid, doctors and experts are desperately trying to get the world to see the crisis for what it is -- that Palestinians are being intentionally starved to death. Bearing the brunt of malnutrition is Gaza's children.

A federal judge just ordered ICE to release (on bail) Mohsen Mahdawi, the Columbia student and green card holder from the West Bank who was detained at his citizenship interview this month for what his lawyers say was his pro-Palestinian advocacy. To Trump, he said today: "I am not afraid of you."

Wow, only 15 Senate Democrats voted to block nearly $9 billion in weapons packages to Israel. Both measures failed, which was expected to happen given the party's divide on the issue. What's surprising is that there were four *fewer* Democrats who voted yes this time than in November.

Schiff says he plans to vote no on the JRDs, because blocking the sale of 20,000-pound bombs to Israel "do not get us closer to peace." He mentioned Palestinians protesting Hamas, but not the Israelis protesting Netanyahu to stop bombing Gaza. And again, Gaza has not received *any* aid for a month.

The Senate is voting today on whether to block $8.8 billion in weapons sales to Israel, including more than 35,000 one-ton bombs. The effort's being led by @sanders.senate.gov. This could serve as an important test for Dems, given their voters increasingly support ending the weapons transfers.

NEW: A federal court ruled today that Mahmoud Khalil's lawsuit can proceed in New Jersey -- a win for the Columbia graduate after the Trump admin argued for his case to be heard in Louisiana, where ICE agents took him without charge and where he still remains.

Sorry but would it kill politicians to care about immigrants without attaching their humanity to how useful and talented they are? When that standard of capitalism isn’t even applied to Americans born here?

Harvard University's president has signaled compliance with the WH after facing funding threats if the school didn't implement policies the govt says combat antisemitism but that critics say restrict academic freedom. Just like Columbia, which also caved.

Since publishing this last week, the number of academics who signed on to the call for boycotting Columbia has risen from around 1,400 to about 1,750. More than 350 additional signatories in just a few days.

I took a look at the SAVE Act, Trump's voting executive order, and what Republicans want for millions of Americans who simply *don't have* documents proving their citizenship. www.huffpost.com/entry/proof-...

Source in Gaza says that Nasser Hospital has been bombed, and front of the facility is on fire. Nasser has been one of the more active hospitals treating the hundreds of casualties this past week.

As always @sanjanakaranth.huffpost.com is a must-read journalist covering what Israel is doing to Palestinians in Gaza with full American political, financial, and arms support. This story has details from multiple eyewitness doctors on the ground:

NEW: Israel’s ceasefire-breaking carpet bombing this week has thrown Gaza’s barely functioning hospitals back into chaos — leaving them scrambling to save lives without enough medicine, water and power. Doctors recount the nightmare of Tuesday’s massacre:

weird thing about this framing is that this "personal best" is the second lowest for a president at this stage in their administration. the first is trump in his first term.

NEW: A coalition of 16 states joined Texas in a lawsuit claiming that a federal rule that prohibits discriminating against disabled people is unconstitutional. My first freelance piece for @prismreports prismreports.org/2025/03/13/s...

New from Columbia admin: International students & scholars have same academic freedom as all Columbians—as well as responsibilities that go with them "Imperative" that schools "affirm" these principles Now 4 uni-wide admin emails since Mahmoud Khalil's arrest. None have explicitly addressed it.

SCOOP: 12 Jewish organizations -- including some pro-Israel groups -- expressed extreme concern to DHS today over Mahmoud Khalil's unlawful abduction, as well as the Trump administration's crackdown on free speech and immigration disguised as fighting antisemitism. www.huffpost.com/entry/jewish...

“It simply cannot be the case that you can be disappeared at night off the streets of New York City simply because the current U.S. government ... dislikes what you have to say" - Ramzi Kassem, one of Mahmoud Khalil's attorneys. From me and @saraboboltz.bsky.social: www.huffpost.com/entry/lawyer...

A judge has ruled the U.S. cannot deport Mahmoud Khalil pending his attorney's habeas corpus petition. He is still detained at the Jena/LaSalle ICE detention facility in Louisiana though, as far as we know. Faculty, advocates, students, and community leaders have all called for his release.

School faculty, Jewish community leaders and immigration activists are getting ready to speak about ICE arresting and detaining Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian green card holder who helped lead the anti-war protests at Columbia last year. My pre-presser story here: www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Over the past two weeks, a whopping six Palestinian infants froze to death in Gaza due to the lack of proper shelter, heating, warm clothes and electricity. Israeli officials are accused of not sending as many tents and fuel as was agreed upon in the ceasefire deal. www.huffpost.com/entry/palest...
