Federal judge in Minnesota threatens criminal contempt over ICE noncompliance Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz warned that “one way or another” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will comply with court orders.

The chief federal judge in Minnesota has threatened to pursue criminal contempt charges against ICE and the state's top federal prosecutor if they don't comply with court orders in scores of immigration cases.

At least 97 violations involving 66 different cases have been documented.

White House stalls release of approved US science budgets The US Congress rejected sweeping cuts to science agencies. But the NIH, the NSF and NASA have had their spending slowed.

Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.

The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇

This is a type of ICE "ruse," and is a tactic the agency has deployed for decades.

In 2015, ICE went to my former client's house posing as cops and convinced his 16-year-old US citizen niece to call him home from work with a fake story (the "identity theft ruse" explained below), then arrested him.

Columbia student arrested by DHS agents who posed as police officers Acting university president says agents misrepresented themselves to gain entry to the residential building

“ICE agents impersonated NYPD with fake badges and a phony missing persons bulletin for a 5 year old girl. They purposefully deceived campus housing/security to gain entry to the apartment. The level of civil rights violations that took place is staggering.”

Refugee released by Border Patrol found dead, sparking outrage Surveillance video obtained by The Post shows Border Patrol agents releasing the partially blind refugee, who went missing for days before being found dead.

1. The footage shows Homeland Security is lying when he got indoors and was wearing prison booties I doubt are good for the cold.
2. Nurul Amin Shah Alam apologized to police BEFORE he was tasered when he was originally arrested.

Epstein Files: NPR Finds 53 Missing ‘Trump’ Pages — the DOJ Has No Explanation NPR finds 53 Epstein file pages missing from the DOJ release, deepening questions about transparency in Trump’s own Justice Department.

Q: How far have we come in 54 years?
A: From 18½ missing minutes to 53 missing pages.

This headline is WAY too generous. One suggestion - Trump administration plans to halt $259 million in medicaid payments because Minnesotans won't submit to the regime's demands.

This is a theme - it's intimidation and harassment. When they actually have to provide evidence, they don't have it. The observers are not committing crimes. DHS knows that nothing illegal is being done but they don't like being watched...cause people don't like what they're doing.

And just to say it explicitly- this doesn't mean that his views or long term plans have changed. He is and always will be anti-vaccine.

BREAKING: Trump-Noem DHS admits to wrongfully arresting 261 DACA recipients, 86 of whom were deported, since Trump’s second term started, per disclosure to Congress.

Judge: IRS broke law ‘approximately 42,695 times’ in giving DHS data A court on Thursday issued an opinion on a data-sharing agreement between the taxpayer agency and federal immigration authorities.

Breaking news: A federal judge found that the IRS violated federal law “approximately 42,695 times” when it shared confidential taxpayer addresses with immigration enforcement officials last summer.

I don't know about you but I want a surgeon general who vaccinates their kids and encourages others to do so, who has completed medical residency and practiced medicine unsupervised, who has an active medical license and who believes in science and facts.
This is the bare minimum!

What to do in politics when you don't have a good answer? Blame someone else.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

So they’re going to cripple healthcare for the poor in Minnesota to make an example of the state. The warning is “don’t resist.”

The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to spend taxpayer funds, and no law allows the president to halt if he feels some US states aren’t being “good stewards” of the money.

In case there’s any confusion on this, the Impoundment Control Act forbids it.

Taxation without representation.

Translation: they are hell bent on killing more Minnesotans. This will cause clinics and hospitals to close if it is sustained.

Every major publication is reporting that the DOJ has spent over a year suppressing files that accuse the sitting president of the assault of a child take a moment and let that sink in

This stone has been turned MANY times. Vaccines do not cause autism. It's a fact. It's a fact that anyone interested in caring for patients or public health should have no problem saying. I wonder what she is interested in?

SOTU federal debt exploding

The Freedom From Religion Foundation is alarmed by the nomination of Casey Means for U.S. surgeon general — reflecting the Trump administration’s hostility toward science, medicine and the secular principles that uphold sound public policy. Read more here: #[ffrf.us/4s22xKq

Leonnig: "The whistleblower says in Dec. 2025, when there was a mass shooting at Brown U, Kash was on his FBI director jet in FL & there was only one other available jet, but Patel ordered it to be put on standby for another team. That meant an evidence review team had to drive through the night..."

It's worth reading Rahman's account of what happened to her, it's not that long.

"...the glass of the passenger side window flew across my face. I yelled "I'm disabled!" at the hands grabbing me. An agent said, "TOO LATE.""

ChatGPT Health performance in a structured test of triage recommendations - Nature Medicine A stress test of ChatGPT Health triage revealed missed high-risk emergencies and inconsistent activation of suicide-crisis safeguards, raising safety concerns for consumer-scale deployment.

A new Nature Medicine study on ChatGPT Health isn't encouraging.

The system under-triaged 52% of emergencies, telling folks with DKA to wait 24-48 hours. It does fine on routine stuff, but fails at clinical extremes.
I'll take a deeper look 🧵

Rubin: "There is at least one witness for whom 3 interviews with the FBI in in 2019 are missing [from the Epstein files]. What's the big deal? We can also confirm she is the same person who in a 2025 FBI presentation is identified as accusing Trump of a sexual assault when she was between 13 and 15"
