Exactly. $5 a month (or more) here, there, and everywhere adds up fast. I wish there was an app that collects news stories nationwide so if I want to read one story from, say, the Sacramento Bee, I can pay to read just that article.

Now this in Minnesota federal court today:

The DOJ attorney "admitted it has been like pulling teeth" to get ICE to comply with court orders.

"The system sucks, this job sucks."

"We have no guidance or direction on what we need to do."

Ok, lol to this.

Breaking NYT:

Behind closed doors, Tulsi Gabbard met with some of the FBI field agents responsible for the Georgia election office raid.

During the meeting, she called Trump.

Trump addressed the agents on speakerphone, asking them questions as well as praising them for their work on the inquiry.

Exclusive | Classified Whistleblower Complaint About Tulsi Gabbard Stalls Within Her Agency Congress hasn’t seen the complaint, which was filed eight months ago with the U.S. intelligence community watchdog’s office.

WSJ Exclusive: A U.S. intelligence official has alleged wrongdoing by Tulsi Gabbard in a whistleblower complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the matter.

RIP funny lady. Thanks for all the laughs.

The Supreme Court will hear the birthright citizenship case on April 1.

There's video of Don Lemon outside the protest stating explicitly: "I'm just chronicling. I'm not with the group." Bondi went to grand jury for an indictment after the courts declined to approve arrest warrant *twice.*

Legal experts explain here why this is so ugly:

ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.

This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

Dates and caramel? Go on, I’m listening….

2/ Full quote from Chief Judge Schiltz (a Bush appointee):

“Two of the five protestors were not protestors at all; instead, they were a journalist and his producer. There is no evidence that those two engaged in any criminal behavior or conspired to do so.”

Oh. Well, I live in Texas with snow being extremely infrequent, so I guess I’m doomed to ugly!

The Trump Adm is arresting Don Lemon and overcharging disruptive protesters at Cities Church to posture as if it’s protecting Christians. It’s not. DHS is staging disruptive ops at other churches, at least one of which has had to go online. ...

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota have reportedly told Daniel Rosen, Trump’s appointee to lead the Minneapolis office, they might resign en masse, leaving the office to crumble under the weight of the unattended workload.

It’s not an empty threat: At least one has already resigned. trib.al/ulf1H7v

FBI searches Atlanta election office, chasing Trump 2020 vote fraud claims The FBI searched an election office in Georgia's Fulton County outside Atlanta on Wednesday, pursuing U.S. President Donald Trump's false claims that his 2020 election defeat was the result of widespr...

The circumstances of the FBI's raid to seize 2020 ballots in Atlanta yesterday were surpassingly unusual.

An out-of-state U.S. attorney (not a line prosecutor). The deputy director of the FBI and the Director of National Intelligence on the scene. Very not normal.

I just love them and their little fleeces!

I was very annoyed that Tapper didn’t ask what made ICE/BP so much more special than regular law enforcement.

@cnn.com‘s @paulareidcnn.bsky.social scoop. Trump ordered Bondi to reopen a 2020 case Barr closed because there was NO evidence to sustained Trump’s #BigLie — they’re using this bullshit as pretext to steal private voter information data in a Democratic stronghold so they can cheat in 2026 midterm.

This is Minneapolis.

Collective trauma, and neighbors helping neighbors.

This is our 24/7 every day lives right now, not just a 10 second news clip.

I know.

Not a conspiracy theorist, but I find it interesting that a man who was shot at instantly posits that an attack on a political opponent was staged.

Screenshot of TruthSocial post by President Trump complaining that Mayor Frey won't enforce federal immigration law, and calling it a "very serious violation of the Law."

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.

The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia:

Yes, this is a “convenience” product that seems to offer only the most minimal of conveniences: I only have to go to the frozen section and not ALSO to the refrigerated cookie dough. I also don’t want cookies along with/after pizza, but I guess that’s another issue.

Very, very powerful and beautifully written. Thank you.

Good morning readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

A childhood full of explosions and air raids is changing Oleksandra’s little brothers.

As with many Ukrainian children, the violence is fueling anger, shaping the way they speak, their fears, and their worldview.
