Trump’s ICE Is Quietly Stockpiling Weaponryβ€”and It Should Alarm Us All In addition to staffing up at a furious rate, ICE and CPB are acquiring a vast cache of weapons from private contractors, new data reveals. This will not end wellβ€”or anytime soon.

This should frighten and enrage us all.

The Kids Trump Sent to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center ProPublica went inside the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of...

We obtained the Dilley detention center’s 911 call logs.

Among them are pleas for help for toddlers having trouble breathing, a pregnant woman who passed out and an elementary-school-aged girl having seizures.

This is precisely what polling places were like for part of the 19th century.

People often traveled long distances by horse to vote. It was a big deal when folks got together this way.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

The Tate brothers, who have been accused of sexual misconduct in three countries, had their devices seized by law enforcement when they arrived in the U.S.

Days later, a White House official told DHS to return them.

Trump claims credit for military bonus that Congress already approved The White House’s plans for a β€œwarrior dividend” to reward troops this holiday season are actually housing assistance funds approved this summer.

President Donald Trump’s promise Wednesday to pay troops a β€œwarrior dividend” bonus is actually a military housing stipend already approved by Congress, and not a generous new White House program.

Leaders of a Catholic church in Massachusetts kept a Nativity display with an anti-ICE message in place on Monday, defying an order from the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston to remove it. The display shows Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus missing, replaced by a sign reading β€œICE WAS HERE.” trib.al/adPW46y

It's wild but not surprising that last week the White House was leaning into "these seditious Democrats dared suggest that troops were receiving illegal orders!!!" and this week they are scrambling to figure out who to blame for issuing illegal orders.

There is no liking this version of our country.

If you can afford to send your kid to a private school, then you can drive them or pay for their Ubers.

But Dayton, Ohio decided to dump the burden on the public school kids instead and prioritized school buses for the private schools.

UPDATE: Workers at FOUR of the most important US science agencies have now filed letters of dissent against their leadership.

After initially delaying their letter due to fears of retaliation, NSF workers have gone ahead anyway, and joined their colleagues at NIH, EPA, and NASA in speaking up.

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

🚨 The Supreme Court’s ruling in Mahmoud v. Taylor undermines public education by allowing parents to exempt their children from lessons based on religious beliefs.

This paves the way for religious interference in the classroom and threatens secular education.
