Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas. "He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Reporter: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. But you're the only person in your government saying this. Why? Trump: Because I just don't know enough about it.

On the one-year anniversary of his detention by federal authorities, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and First Lady Rama Duwaji welcomed Mahmoud Khalil, his wife Noor, and their baby boy, Deen, to Gracie Mansion to break the fast together.

me, poking at the second trump presidency: "want to see a (soon to be) dead body?" youtu.be/ozvWGx_Re9A

They’re saying nobody has ever done a national suicide as beautiful as mine. They say to me, eyes full of tears, “Mr President I’ve never seen a country kill itself as bigly.” And I smiled to myself. Think of that. Killing yourself. I’d do it. Maybe I will do it right now, who’d stop me? I wouldn’t.

"No stupid rules of engagement." — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, March 2, 2026 "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East." — Reuters, March 5, 2026

On January 6, 2021, Markwayne Mullin cowered in fear of a mob of pro-Trump rioters. Today, he is their boss. Only in America 🇺🇸 could such an inspiring story come true!

U.S. forces likely bombed an Iranian elementary school on Feb. 28 during an operation targeting a nearby military base, a New York Times analysis suggests. It is the deadliest known episode of civilian casualties since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran — and no side has yet taken responsibility.

This keeps happening

Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.

Knuth is a real one in many ways (these are screenshots from his homepage)

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

“White added that ‘making the decision for these girls whether they will give birth to their rapist’s baby’ is ‘an extraordinary human rights problem.’ ‘Everyone attempts to write their politics on the bodies of these children,’ he said.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

“It’s a choice to ensure zero abortions." Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape.

The Trump administration hates innovation

This week's cover @thelancet.com

WHISTLEBLOWER: ICE cut almost half it's training program, specifically the parts about the Constitution, the US legal system, use of force, proper arrest and detention, and WEAPONS TRAINING. THAT is why US citizens are being murdered and agents are dropping their guns.

Former ICE agent: My first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a warrant. I watched ICE cut classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, use of force, lawful arrests, and the limits of officers' authority

This is Wiley. He has never seen snow before and wants to make sure he gets a real good look at it. For science. 12/10 (IG: smileywileydog)

oh, good, we're back to the covid-era "show up whenever he damned well feels like it, rant for some excruciatingly long amount of time, storm off" press appearances

From Elie Honig at Stay Tuned with Preet. Here is the kind of material that is still being withheld from the Epstein files, in violation of the federal statute:

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

Glad this is getting covered, but also… Completely surreal to read the NYT report on this as recently disclosed info, and just an allegation. This happened to every observer I know! It happened to me twice! I have it on video both times! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

was thinking about this again today and just laughing like crazy

Not all of the best universities in the country are on the list, and not all of the universities on the list are the best the country, but damn, it's a pretty good list of some of the best universities in the country. They're the kind of universities we want military officers to be able to attend.

BREAKING: DOJ moves to drop criminal charges in alleged shovel/broom attack in Minneapolis that led ICE to open fire. "Newly discovered evidence in this matter is materially inconsistent with the allegations in the Complaint Affidavit," prosecutors say. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

This is Zaire levels of corruption.

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

James Comer spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars trying and failing to prove that there was a policy connection between Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014 and his VP dad. But Comer won’t spend a day or a dollar investigating this.

"Though trans migrants have historically faced discrimination in detention, the president’s promises of mass deportation and rolling back trans people’s basic rights have collided with brutal force." www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
