The Men’s U.S. Hockey Team had a generational opportunity to show Americans why hockey should be more popular than—check notes—lacrosse, and pissed it away to slam beers with Kash Patel and laugh at a not even a good joke from an old man. Have fun with that cold MacDonalds buffet, boys.

It looks like a lot of states are trying to pass laws that NJ already passed. Laws that haven’t kept GEO group and CoreCivic out of our state. FEDERAL judges don’t uphold these laws — which means they won’t uphold them in your states. Please, learn what you can from our mistakes and #keepICEout

The bigger challenge is CBP. I don’t think we can abolish CBP. But however bad ICE is, CBP is worse—many “ICE” horror stories are really CBP, and others involve former CBP who are now ICE. How we replace CBP is a much thornier, but also far more consequential, question.

Welp between partying with a fascist clown FBI Director and laughing their butts off at Trump’s sexist mockery of the women’s team, the men’s hockey team immediately squandered the biggest opportunity to expand their sport’s audience in decades. See ya in 20 years, guys.

Her research laid the groundwork for the Global Positioning System, GPS, a technology that has made getting lost a thing of the past. wapo.st/4c3qzA5

I do not know if the tech will become good enough or not, but right now, my personal view is that the only deliverable that legal AI has—as a practical matter—on litigation is to enable an entirely new category of legal malpractice claim.

FBI Director Kash Patel was recorded on video partying with the USA men's hockey team in their locker room in Milan — just hours after a man armed with a shot gun and a gas can was shot and killed at Mar-a-Lago, prompting an FBI investigation.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing. These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted. Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

To those in the replies pointing out that 2/3 of the ag land is pasture, much of which can’t grow crops/trees: true. That said, ~1/3 of today’s pasturelands used to be forest. Pasture expansion is #1 driver of tropical deforestation this century. And beef uses 20x the land per g protein vs plants.

6/6 The wealth at the top was built by extracting from all of us. They call it "their" wealth. We call it unpaid wages, unaffordable rent, gutted public services. And the tax-flight panic? Top earners move out at ¼ the rate of everyone else. Tax wealth. Fund dignity for all. Govern for the people.

5/6 Hochul calls herself a "staunch capitalist" and argues against taxing the wealthy because she wants to "broaden the pool." That is tired trickle-down logic. It also undermines the affordability platform she's running for re-election on.

Trump is playing a dangerous war game. Just yesterday, he claimed he can “destroy” a country in an unhinged tirade. These are the impulses of a madman. Congress must exercise its authority to prevent a war that will take innocent lives. No war with Iran.

“You now live in a country where volunteers deliver babies at home, in secret, off the books, because mothers fear that if they go to the hospital, they will be abducted by masked, armed agents of the state while giving birth.”

Israel regularly detains Palestinian women simply for being related to those the occupation is seeking to arrest, a practice experts say is unlawful. buff.ly/gmUozQ2

New from me: The Colorado River is drying up & the Western US' water crisis is fueling bitter disputes among the states that share it. Yet the obvious solution to the crisis (raising fewer cows in the desert) gets almost no air time. A glaring case of agricultural exceptionalism.

Travelling to the US is just not worth the risk these days.

Two things are simultaneously true: 1. The Iranian regime treats its people with extreme brutality and cruelty, and we should honour the citizens seeking to overthrow it. 2. A US attack on Iran would turn a crisis into a catastrophe.

Beth's book is revelatory, surprising, and incredibly helpful in thinking about what we do to farmed animals.

this is why it's imperative to make the whole project politically toxic. cut off the money, and you cut off the camps. so imo we should work to end this before 2029 by pushing back on facilities wherever possible. detention camps have their own gravitational and financial pull on society and warp it

As Dan Drezner says, Trump's war on Iran is a war of choice not necessity. And that's why his circumvention of US constitutional law and international law is completely unjustifiable. Against this backdrop, the silence of Congress and of Democratic leaders is inexplicable.

Yesterday we lost another legend: Joanne Bland. A civil rights foot soldier from Selma, Ms.Bland dedicated her life to educating and preserving the history that shaped this country, and helped co-found the National Civil Rights Museum and Institute in 1993. Rest in power Ms. Bland.

Republicans have come up with a legislative response to the dangerous epidemic of women voting.

George Conway is not aligned with Democratic policies. We love that he's anti-Trump, but if you are looking for a change from the Dem establishment, electing Republicans is not the way.

Today I’m at the Northwest Detention Center to do my duty as a Member of Congress & conduct oversight. I even gave them 8 days notice that I was coming — something I shouldn’t have to do. Despite having privacy release forms, they are refusing to let me talk to detained people. I’m not letting up.

I've been saying it a lot, but these deaths line up with what happened in early concentration camps during other regimes: Deaths from poor conditions, disease, or abuse. These deaths are not accidental. They are the direct result of a camp system that is designed to harm those being imprisoned.

This is a facility within a facility. Dilley Processing Single Adult Female is "new" to the ICE roster of centers, first appearing on the list in Feb. 2026. It's one section of the overall camp at Dilley. Between Oct. 1, 2025 - Feb. 5, 2026, ICE detained an average of 194 women here.
