US citizen shot and killed by federal immigration agent last year, new records show Shooting death of Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, in Texas was not publicly disclosed by Department of Homeland Security

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public.

It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests.

What else is the regime hiding from us?

Special for my friends in the media!

Before you use numbers from a new DHS “economic impact analysis” in reporting on a new Trump prison camp, please consider that these reports appear to be (to use a technical term) horseshit.

Why Tariffs Aren’t Shrinking the U.S. Trade Deficit Exporting countries are sticking to their economic models, frustrating U.S. hopes that levies can fix imbalances.

".. If the U.S. still wants to reduce its [trade] deficit, he argued, reining in its large fiscal deficits would be more effective than coercing other countries into importing more U.S. goods, but there is no sign of this happening."

60% disapprove of Trump ahead of State of the Union, Post-ABC-Ipsos poll finds But Democrats have made little headway in persuading Americans that they have better ideas or policies to offer.

".. The last time Trump’s disapproval touched 60 percent was shortly after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol."

U.S. Embassy France @USEmbassyFrance Les informations, corroborées par le ministre français de l'Intérieur, selon lesquelles Quentin Deranque aurait été tué par des militants d'extrême gauche, devraient tous nous préoccuper. L'extrémisme violent de gauche est en hausse et son rôle dans la mort de Quentin Deranque démontre la menace qu'il représente pour la sécurité publique. Nous continuerons à suivre la situation et espérons que les auteurs de ces violences seront traduits en justice.

The Paranoid Style of Jeffrey Epstein Has Come for Us All The pedophile plutocrat had some peculiar predilections—especially for academics and thinkers who showed a potential to further his grand experiments in inhumanity.

Wrote a piece about many looking at the Epstein case all wrong: He's not the thing that connects a network of rich and powerful men; he's the lens that shows us how they were already connected.

Really feels like Number 10 are dragging this out and making it agonising on themselves. Simons has a target on his back with journalists at multiple outlets. He appears to have engaged in some dubious spying and then to have issued a misleading statement about it. How does No 10 think this ends?

If you've never heard of Frederick Brennan, he's well worth looking up. Absolutely fascinating story on who gets radicalised online and how, plus how people escape it – and how it interplays with real-world exploitation.

"Witkoff has apparently decided that what he doesn’t know simply doesn’t matter. He has been willing to send US diplomatic staff and CIA personnel out of the room to negotiate with Russia solo. He has been happy to rely on the Kremlin’s translators, rather than bring his own..."

When I say the UK needs to reform its laws around public disclosures in criminal justice, reporting restrictions around trials, contempt, and the like, it's this sort of nonsense I'm thinking of.

This whole "he hasn't officially been named but you can report it" stuff just doesn't work any more

I REALLY hope this can be replicated in humans. A trial in mice showed that a nasal vaccine targeting multiple respiratory pathogens including COVID-19 worked really well - enabling development of protective Immunity in the lung for 3 months (the duration of testing) 🧪

Is this bad

It seems obvious that it is not the share of Christians in Britain - but the visibility of Muslims in Britain - that is primary driver for this form of political argument on populist right (often voiced by non-Christians:cf Farage/Yusuf)

There are many other more constructive Christian perspectives

even his economic foreign policy (if we can call this that) is rapey

LOL

Trump: "As President, I do not have to go back to Congress to get approval of Tariffs. It has already been gotten, in many forms, a long time ago! They were also just reaffirmed by the ridiculous and poorly crafted supreme court decision! President DJT"

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.
