GEORGIA — Trump’s DHS just bought an ICE detention warehouse for $128 MILLION… that sold for $29 MILLION two years ago… from a Russia-based real estate company.🤔

Nothing to see here, folks!

We are being looted so hard by these crooks

UPDATE: “FBI formally notified Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) on it will not provide the BCA with access to any information or evidence that it has collected in the 1/24 shooting death of Alex Pretti.”

🤔A lawless regime. Abolish ICE.

NYT: Trump secretly deported 9 migrants despite court orders to not remove them to their home nations. So, he sent them to prison in Cameroon: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/14/w...

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

Senior US health official Oz invited Epstein to Valentine's Day party, documents show Mehmet Oz sent the invite almost a decade after Epstein's first sex crime charges became public.

Dr. Oz emailed an invite to a Valentine's Day party in 2016 to Jeffrey Epstein.

Oz appears several more times in the Epstein files, including an email sent from an account under his name to Epstein on Jan. 1, 2016, that has the subject line "Dr oz." The body of the message is completely redacted.

New U.S. Boat Strike Kills 3 in the Caribbean The attacks since early November had specifically targeted suspected drug smuggling boats in the Pacific Ocean.

A U.S. military strike killed three people and blew up a boat in the Caribbean Sea on Friday, the U.S. Southern Command said, raising the death toll in the Trump administration’s five-month-old campaign against suspected drug smugglers at sea to 133.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

The "boat strikes" are still happening. Five things you need to know.  - WOLA U.S. military strikes on drug smuggling boats have killed 131 people since September, yet media coverage has faded. These extrajudicial killings violate international law, fail to stop drug traffickin...

After 35 attacks and 131 deaths, we’re normalizing the illegal boat strikes, erasing the dead as "narco-terrorists"—even while drug supplies appear unaffected. Some in the military are growing comfortable with this. But the slippery slope is clear: impunity breeds escalation, perhaps even at home.

One year on from dismantling of USAID, study projects that global aid cuts could lead to 9.4 million deaths by 2030 | CNN It’s been one year since the Trump administration dismantled the US Agency for International Development (USAID), with aid cuts leading to the closure of HIV clinics in South Africa, the termination o...

As a direct result of the obscene actions of Russell Vought and Elon Musk in destroying USAID, we can expect “at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues.

About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5.”

Impact Dashboard - Impact Counter | Impact Counter Visualize the human impact of funding changes for aid and support organizations.

Per the ImpactCounter dashboard, approximately 88 people an hour are now dying as a result of Vought and Musk’s murder of USAID.

They must be brought to justice.

Quick takes: Death toll from USAID cuts, withdrawal of chikungunya vaccine, funding for updated Ebola vaccine A model that tracks the impact of USAID funding cuts estimates that more than 760,000 people have died as a result of those cuts since January 2025.

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.

It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.

Vought is a mass murderer.

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.

They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.
