Rep. @repkweisimfume.bsky.social cites the huge team they've assembled and says, "this is what it is going to take" to stop ICE from "snatching grandmothers" and other people all over Baltimore. "Yes, I think they're getting ready for a surge here in Baltimore."

Alsobrooks: "This facility is not fit for animals. It is shameful, and history will record this."

Alsobrooks: "We saw a woman upstairs who has committed upstairs who committed no crime, who's been here [the US] for two decades," who just wants to go home to her son, and she's afraid she's going to be separated from him.

Sen. @alsobrooks.senate.gov speaking now: "Each time I come to this facility it makes the hair stand up on your arms. This facility is unfit."

"Not one more dime for ICE's lawless operations," VanHollen says.

VanHollen says ICE staffing is ramping up in Baltimore. "We need to do what the people in Minneapolis did." We need to bring witness and accountability to them, he says.

NEWS: This morning, Maryland lawmakers, including Sens. Chris @vanhollen.senate.gov and Angela @alsobrooks.senate.gov made an unannounced visit to an ICE holding facility in Baltimore. They are scheduled to talk about what they saw soon here: www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/ne...

WSJ: Trump Is Obsessed With These $145 Shoes—and Won’t Let Anyone Leave Without a Pair "The president has taken to guessing people’s shoe size in front of them. He asks an aide to put in an order and, a week later, a brown Florsheim box arrives at the White House."

Washington State looks set to tax millionaires, as the governor says he’ll sign legislation creating a new state income tax of 9.9% on people earning of over $1 million a year. Washington currently doesn’t have a personal income tax. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

This article from December 2025 about the changes Congress quietly made to Selective Service System should alarm people. It has been moved to a cloud based automatic enrollment system. responsiblestatecraft.org/draft-select....

NEW: DC has narrowly avoided a national security crisis 3 times in 6 years. The Pentagon, the White House, the Capitol building: They’re all screwed if something happens to Potomac. It’s an obvious vulnerability. With no plan to fix it.

Beginning in late 2025 or early 2026, the Selective Service System (SSS) is shifting from voluntary, individual registration to automatic registration for men aged 18–25.

China reveals two new Type 055 super destroyers defence-blog.com/china-reveal...

In 2020 a pandemic killed 1.2 million Americans and MAGAs tore their hair out over minor inconveniences intended to keep the toll <5 million. Now Trump is spending $900M/day to fight a war no one wants that'll kill the economy and not only is it silence from the pandemic whiners but they're STOKED.

Bellingcat researcher and weapons expert Trevor Ball ( @easybakeovensz.bsky.social ) will be talking to our Discord Server on Thursday about identifying key munitions being used in the Iran-US-Israel war. Join us live at 11am EDT: discord.gg/bellingcat?e...

Bellingcat has monitored weapons used in the first few days of the war, such as the US Precision Strike Missile, used for the first time in combat and a variant of the Tomahawk missile, previously unknown to the public. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

Bellingcat asked the Israeli Defence Forces what the bomb was. It said it would not be able to provide details regarding the types of munitions it uses.

The images appear to show 2,000-pound-class air-delivered bombs fitted with Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) guidance kits with a red band around the nose. Red is commonly used to denote an incendiary, while yellow indicates high explosive effect.

Israeli Air Force images posted on March 3 show a bomb not previously seen in Israeli service, reportedly from jets involved in strikes on Iran. Experts say the bombs appear to have an incendiary component and may be meant to destroy chemical or biological agents. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

I lost my cousin on 9-11 and have had to listen to all kinds of conspiracy theories about what happened and why. The state of New York mandates that it be taught through its curricular standards. That's how you do it. What Virginia is doing is dangerous. open.substack.com/pub/kevinmle...

Americans are not angry enough. Do you see people raging in the streets today??? Especially MAGA??? Then no, Americans are not angry enough.

Nearly a year after the national-security scandal that came to be known as Signalgate, no one in the Trump administration has faced consequences, Jeffrey Goldberg writes.

Pentagon war planners were blindsided by the scope of Israeli strikes on Iran, sparking the first significant rift between the U.S. and Israeli militaries since the conflict began eight days ago.

The last week has seen the worst US wartime atrocity for 70 years and the worst chemical attack on a civilian population in history. And Congress is barely uttering a word of meaningful dissent, much less dragging the warmonger from office. This period will stain US history forever.

Exactly. More and more coincidences keep happening. Please keep after the truth, Rep. Lieu! @reptedlieu.bsky.social #releasethefiles #OperationEpsteinFury #TrumpEpstein

Curious to know what makes an #NEH grant "crazy" as opposed to "bad" in the eyes of #DOGE youtu.be/6AprpPJ1Cmc?...

Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too “DEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below

Here #NEH McDonald admits that he doesn't know how DOGE defined DEI or what they used to make their assessments. I can't imagine being so inept! He just let a group of 28 yo tech bros tell him what to think and do because the result is one he liked. Zero self respect. youtu.be/KiDcKST03Zk?...

It's stunning how ignorant the DOGE bros were who were sent into agencies. Justin Fox cannot even articulate in his own words what his "present understanding of DEI" is: he can't even formulate a coherent sentence about it. I wouldn't hire him for basic tech support. #NEH youtu.be/jomaMvItnew?...

Meanwhile affirmative action "meritocracy" manosphere tech bros wasting our taxes: "OMG they released the deposition videos where they revealed that these two DOGE bros were just feeding grants into ChatGPT and saying "tell me if this is DEI in less than 120 characters." bsky.app/profile/masn...

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.
