Personally don't recommend these. As the article notes, these properties are typically achieved through PFAS, which can shed carcinogens in your home (which you then inhale) or come out in the wash (polluting waterways for decades). Will try to do a thread on how to treat stains in the wash.

“…agents at the airport drove Batra to ICE’s field office in Harlingen in an unmarked van. She had been there many times… Office staff recognized her as she was being processed. Agents posed for photos with her handcuffed, which they said was for ‘social media,’ according to the habeas filing.”

BOYLE: The CBO says the big beautiful bill eliminates healthcare coverage for more than 15 million Americans. Are they really all, according to you, illegals and defrauding the system. That's really your position? RUSS VOUGHT: Yes BOYLE: That's laughable!

"The Pope needs to be educated on God" seems like a threat to me.

Mike Johnson on the Pope: "If you wade into political waters, you should expect some political response & the Pope has received some. Frankly I was taken a bit aback by him saying something about 'those who engage in war, Jesus doesn't hear their prayers' or something. There's 'just war' doctrine.'"

🤬"Trump has gotten $1.4 BILLION richer since he retook the White House. Him and his billionaire frds now hold a record $8 TRILLION in wealth. Homes, healthcare, and childcare are more expensive.

This is evil and cruel. All Americans own this travesty.

Pam Bondi didn’t show up for her hearing today, despite our subpoena. We’re going to begin contempt proceedings. It’s time to hold these people accountable to the laws we passed in Congress.

Someone is dying in ICE custody EVERY WEEK. And that doesn't even include the American citizens ICE has killed in the middle of our streets in broad daylight. It could not be more clear, ICE needs guardrails, not a blank check from Congress.

This is deeply disappointing for Coloradans. Communities stepped up and met the criteria, yet recovery funding was denied. We’ll keep supporting impacted areas and fighting for every path forward.

BREAKING: An appeals court orders a judge to end his contempt investigation of the Trump administration over deportation flights.

I think this is correct. Congress gave Trump the personalist, violent paramilitary force he's always wanted, but without the statutory hurdles, internal accountability, resistance from the courts, and institutional pushback that would come with deploying the actual military.

JUST IN: A bitterly divided appeals court panel has, for a second time, blocked Judge Boasberg's effort to pursue potential criminal contempt against Kristi Noem and other DHS officials for their handling of rushed deportations to El Salvador last year. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

Becerra seems to be the logical choice at this point.

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

Minnesota authorities say they are investigating federal agents for possible criminal charges, including kidnapping, after they pulled a St. Paul man out of his home in January into below-zero windchill wearing nothing but boxers and Crocs.

I frankly don't see this administration being capable of doing real diplomacy. You don't just show up, talk for a few hours, and expect real results.

THE DALAI LAMA IS WEAK ON MONETARY POLICY.

For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view. Workers I spoke to are pissed.

When is someone, anyone, going to be held accountable for the detainment and brutalization of these innocent people? The American Gestapo, including Krisit Noem, need to answer for this! #SheShed

The U.S. just killed five more people in its latest boat strikes. The death toll of these extrajudicial killings is almost 170 civilians. And more deaths are on the horizon. Pentagon Reveals Attacks in Latin America Are Just the Beginning theintercept.com/2026/03/23/t...

The Trump administration fired two immigration judges who dismissed deportation cases against pro-Palestinian international students. The firings of Roopal Patel and Nina Froes are the latest move to reshape the country’s immigration courts.

Good point!

For more than five decades, the #EndangeredSpeciesAct has saved 99% of species under its care from #extinction. But this bill, H.R. 1897, would unravel that success and put countless species — like sea turtles, wolverines, monarch butterflies, and manatees — at greater risk of disappearing forever.

As soon as next week, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on sweeping legislation that would dismantle the Endangered Species Act. Please take a moment to speak up for imperiled species and the law that protects them ➡️ biodiv.us/4sY5TPu

Today’s decision the court reaffirmed its Nov. 2025 ruling that found continued vehicle use in snowy plover habitat results in the illegal “take” of protected birds. The Endangered Species Act prohibits killing or harming snowy plovers without authorization from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Pete Hegseth's Defense Dept appears to be caught in a lie. It involves deaths of 21 people (including at least 5 children), injuring 110 in Lamerd, Iran with sports hall and school. By a U.S. missile (PrSM) never before used in combat. NYT sources include: 3 US officials! 1/

The president’s number one promise was to drive inflation down. Instead, he drove it up.
