Rein in ICE, tie DHS funding to reforms, Portland mayor and other big-city leaders tell Congress.

As ICE expands, an AP review of crimes committed by agents shows how their powers can be abused Investigators say one immigration official abused his girlfriend for years. Another admitted he sexually abused a woman in his custody.

At least two dozen U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees and contractors have been charged with crimes since 2020 and the wrongdoing includes patterns of violence, sexual abuse and corruption, a review by The Associated Press found.

Happy Heavenly Birthday D’Angelo.

"The vast majority of assistant U.S. attorneys will go their entire careers without being rejected by a grand jury like this."

<slow clap>

Bondi has spent this entire hearing crashing out, talking about the stock market, and trying to do anything but talk about Epstein.

The American people see through this bullshit.

Innocent people don’t act this way.

Live look at me listening to @zo3hree5ive.com latest project “Expansions”

A Florida A&M student says she was told to remove the word “Black” from promotional materials because of state anti-DEI restrictions. University leaders have now said it was a mistake.

My new piece is up and it requires your URGENT ATTENTION!

The same thing was said about Kendrick having more yards than the Chiefs last year.

That critique of the government extracting resources from PR. The power poles.

Man listen…

I believe most of them never have experienced love and joy in their lives. They don’t know what it feels like to be truly happy. It has to suck to be angry and bitter all the time.

Freedom for who???

Jalen Hurts. God took his TIME. WHEW! 😮‍💨 #SUPERBOWL

Okay. He did that.

Totally forgot!!! Usher pulled up to the 2026 #OlympicOpeningCeremony wearing the Polo Ralph Lauren Team USA 2026 Shearling Jacket

Coco Jones looks and sounds absolutely incredible singing The Black National Anthem.

And her look is definitely a nod to Whitney Houston's iconic Super Bowl look from 1991. #SUPERBOWL

For all those folks that missed the rain in Portland, there is plenty falling out of the sky now.

Been waiting since last summer to see this play. My mom was supposed to be in town this week but she postponed her trip because went to the hospital. Now I am sitting in between two strangers. 🙃

My cousin may fly into Albuquerque but it's still a 3 hour drive to Roswell. Both Las Cruces and El Paso are about 3 hours away too.

Purchased my plane ticket for my uncle's services later this month. And now that United is servicing Roswell, my ticket was less than $300. American Airlines can kick rocks. Their prices were super expensive.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Oregon senator’s cryptic letter to CIA director sparks speculation and worry U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden has said he has “deep concerns about CIA activities.”

Thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, Amazon saw its corporate income taxes shrink by more than HALF last year, even as its profits climbed.

But instead of investing the savings into their workforce, Amazon just announced thousands of layoffs and plans to spend $200B on AI.

Textbook corporate greed.

Been watching past Super Bowl halftime shows to get ready for Sunday’s show with Bad Bunny.

GOP's new fear: Losing the Senate in November A Democratic takeover of the Senate would be a political earthquake — and neuter Trump's last two years in office.

Rs are “worried about private polling that paints a dire picture of the midterms—& it's not just the House they're afraid of losing, it's also the Senate.” (Rs are thus DESPERATE to (a) pass their voter suppression bill & (b) create a pretext to “federalize” the election by ginning up BS re 2020) 1/

"Every American familiar with the Trump record knows that all roads in TrumpRx will lead to Trump's pocket," Wyden said. "TrumpRx is nothing more than a glorified coupon book, and it will advance the Republican agenda to undermine affordable health care for American families. Americans don't want to jump through yet another health care hoop on Trump's self-serving website. Patients deserve to leave the doctor's office, go to the pharmacy, and pay a low price for their medicine-no coupon needed."

A solid analysis by @wyden.senate.gov of Trump’s snake oil he is trying to pass off as lower drug prices.

Haiti's Winter Olympics team shines a positive light even as IOC removes patriot from uniforms Haiti is making a statement at the Milan Cortina Winter Games with two athletes proudly representing the nation.

The International Olympic Committee ruled that an image of Toussaint Louverture, born into slavery and and leader of the Haitian Revolution, on Haiti’s uniforms violated Olympic rules barring political symbolism

Medgar Evers was assassinated in his own driveway while his wife and kids were inside the house. Klan member Byron De La Beckwith shot him in the back and it took 31 years to get a conviction!

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex
